The pilot:
the same garden, rebuilt as ONE animated SVG — no canvas, no JS
animation, every motion declarative SMIL. The plate is a
static group drawn once — not one
module of the code moves, ever; roses and bees are animated elements layered over it. Stems rise,
leaves arrive, blooms open late, then
bees cross the code through its data middle — never the
three finder squares — and every frame is decoder-gated. Reduced motion yields one still frame that
still scans. Beside the
canvas original, never instead of it.
