MÄISON — live prototype

A guide to the house

Everything starts at a small terminal. It greets you, sums up the latest piece in presse, and asks one question.

read `↵`	the window empties and grows into presse — the public writing
login `↵`	asks for an email or a phone
the flags	click --read --login --presse instead of typing

In the prototype any address works, and ↵ stands in for opening the link:

bichar@ark.business	the founder — the window grows into Ëtude
tommy@arkmarketing.ltd	a partner — his own house
dan@myrideautosales.ca	a client — the Sälon
sam@ortizfilms.ca	a contractor — his projects only

One terminal for talking with the three colleagues — Säinte knows, Läurent acts, Märcel looks outward.

type `↵`	talk; the colleague answers in place
--open	open a piëce, a Cärnet or a Jöurnal entry beside the talk; --share into the talk puts it in the conversation
--with= · --mode=	choose who is at the table, and how they think
Fïls	threads — this morning’s finding and the frontier note come first

`shift` + scroll	around — the next place in the bar
`⌘`/`ctrl` + scroll up	in — one level deeper (a person → their exchanges → one in full)
`⌘`/`ctrl` + scroll down · `esc`	out — one level back
the $ at the foot	language — say what you want: cd plan · settings · meeting with Priya fri 3pm
ËTUDE · PLÄN · BÜREAU …	the five rooms, along the bottom
$ cd ÄGENDA · CÄDENCE …	the places inside a room, along the top

Nothing scrolls. Where there is more, there are pages or another level.

Bureau	the home: red while something is yours to do
Piëces	notes by you and the three; `⌘`+scroll on a piece opens its record
Jöurnal	a blank page; Done puts the date on it
Lëcture	the open book and a three-row shelf; `⌘`+scroll opens the library
Röutine · Ägenda · Cädence	habits, the day’s list, the week

Cöurrier · Tëxtos · Äppels	search in plain words: emails asking for documents · waiting on marco
red bar and title	this waits on you; reply or call back and it turns black
Rëpertoire → a person	one page: the relationship, promises, small things, gifts; `⌘`+scroll for every exchange
[+file]	attach to any email or text

· The login window becomes the terminal you work in — the same object, door to table.

· One colour. Red appears only on what waits on you.

· Moving makes the page’s dotted type redraw itself — nothing is drawn over the screen.

· Every screen is whole: no scrollbars, anywhere.

· Names are French — the rooms, the tools, the three. Everything that instructs you is plain English.

· The colleagues show their work: sources, versions with evidence, why a note resurfaced.
