MINDCHAIN BRAND PACKET
======================

The Layer 1 where machine intelligence settles.
Identity: an abstract halftone brain — ink dots on a 45-degree
lattice with one vermilion node of thought at the thalamus. Warm
paper, near-black ink, one vermilion spot plate. Light editorial +
cultural halftone.

CANONICAL GEOMETRY
------------------
Halftone brain: abstract side-profile brain built from ink dots on a
45-degree lattice, 40-unit grid; dot radius falls from ~0.95 at the
center to ~0.3 at the silhouette edge; one vermilion node (#b8340f)
at the thalamus position (~19.5, 15.5). Display mark = fine lattice
(~200 dots, spacing 1.55), used at 48px and above. Small cut = coarse
lattice (24 dots, spacing 4.4) -- mindchain-mark-small.svg /
favicon.svg -- for every use below 48px, min 16px digital.
Clearspace = three lattice cells.
