Panels carry the state. The gutter carries the time.
Every recall is staged as a koma spread — one dominant panel reads first, a paper beat turns, a terminal panel inverts to black when it goes live. Nothing floats; nothing is a card. Importance is read from scale and order, the way a page is read.
The dominant beat
The widest koma reads first. Recall lands here — a full page restored in ink on paper, framed by a heavy black rule and a hairline diagnostic frame.
Terminal inversion
When a panel goes live it flips to black with white output and one phosphor cursor.
The gutter is structure
Cinematic gutters from 4px to 128px set rhythm — calm negative space stays the dominant register.
The paper turn
A bright koma marks a turn in the read. Ink on paper, no colour — the identity survives entirely in border weight, gutter, and type.
Typed evidence, not ornament.
Shell paths, timestamps, diagnostic codes, and command output carry the references structurally — never a decorative scanline laid over the text.
Trace
Point Mnemos at an archive. It reads frame by frame and pins each to a scene and a beat.
Stage
Lay the recall out as a koma spread. Scale ranks it; the gutter paces it; the rule frames it.
Lock
The live panel inverts. A phosphor cursor confirms the recall — the one decisive machine acknowledgement.
Open a console that reads back.
Mnemos stages forensic memory the way a page stages a scene — precise, post-human, unhurried even when it is reporting something critical.
