Use These Pages First Instead
If you are new to Cartilage, start with the current pages in this order:
- Cartilage 2026: Child-Owned Reconfiguration Ports
- Cartilage Visual Language
- Cartilage Nested-Instantiation Demo
- Cellular Automata Experiments, 2019-2021
Those pages explain the live artifact lineage, the visual alphabet, the nested-instantiation model, and the older cellular automata roots without leaning on these Codex-generated experiment pages as the main evidence.
The Archived Pages
These are the six pages being contained here. They remain public so old links do not disappear, but they should be read through this note.
Why Keep Them?
Because they are part of the work history. They show how polished prose can get ahead of the artifact quality when an AI coding system is allowed to generate too much of the experiment path. That is useful evidence, just not the kind of evidence I want to present as the main Cartilage story.
The boundary matters. I am not saying the pages contain no useful details. I am saying they should be read as an AI-generated archive cluster, not as the preferred explanation of visible, local, inspectable computation.
What I Would Value From A Reader
If any other page still treats one of these six archive pages as a primary illustration or proof target, I would value the exact URL and sentence so I can remove that cross-reference.
