Seventeen renders. One governed liquid language.

The complete front-end reference for the unified Illustrious Harness: 11 workflow-architecture concepts and 6 liquid-frequency engines, all in one design system — obsidian canvas, Fraunces serif, iris→magenta→gold liquid spectrum, IBM Plex Mono telemetry. Shared thesis: workflow health is frequency — in-tune work oscillates clean, drift reads as violent oscillation, recovery is governed damping, never a snap.

The collections, pick a lane.

The reactive engines — health as pure physics

A global tension 0..1 eased per frame drives every visual property: healthy work reads as slow clean oscillation in iris, teal and phosphor; drift — tool-call storms, retry loops, budget burn, colliding handoffs — reads as violent oscillation in gold→pink heat; recovery arrives as governed damping, never a snap.

Resonant Spine

The workflow spine as the instrument: Goal→Receipt stages as liquid nodes, handoffs as traveling waves — a rejected handoff snaps into a standing wave.

One Fourier blob; the harmonics tell the truth — a standing wave means the loop is lying to itself.

Tide & Lanterns

A fleet in phase reads as one tide; each lantern is a workflow breathing on the same slow beat.

6-render hub

HUB

Liquid Frequency Hub

The original six-render hub with the tension metaphor explained — open it for the pure collection view.

collection hub

New render choices, waiting for promotion.

Four fresh directions with live animated thumbnails — canvas sketches, not stubs. Say the word and any of them gets built out to full-render status like the flagship.

The engine obeys real oscillation laws.

The LiquidCore particle engine implements four canonical oscillation patterns (matplotlib-derived) — each mapped to a governance state. Drift is physics with semantics, not decoration.

The system, in tokens.

Grounded in what actually runs here.

Run the flagship.
