The Turing machine,
rendered in light.
A composition earns belief the way a proof does: it shows its structure and hides nothing. Here, light is evidence. This page is the constitution every Taifoon surface follows, rendered in the style it legislates. Canonical source: BRAND.md in the site repository.
Black on 85 to 90% of every frame
The void is the medium in which measurement becomes visible. Darkness is not emptiness; it is the vacuum chamber.
Silver hairline geometry · radius 0, ever
Form arrives as pure geometry: the hairline, the perfect square, corner ticks. Nothing rounds, nothing blooms, nothing gestures loosely.
Only blue carries interaction
#3DA5FF is energy and interactivity. If it is blue, you can act on it; if you can act on it, it is blue.
Teal is the anomaly: at most once per frame
#00B5B8 appears perhaps once in a composition. Its power comes entirely from its scarcity. The restraint is the loudest statement. Violet marks PROPOSED.
Turing-machine and infinite-geometry motifs only
Tapes, heads, lattices, one-point perspective, frames nesting past legibility. Curves exist only as trajectories, the paths something took. They are never ornament. Warmth and saturation are forbidden.
The competitor's name never appears
Grep before every ship. Say “every chain”, “chain to chain”, “on all N chains”.
Three registers, never mixed
Proof-of-delivery speaks to the public; the coordination layer speaks to the whitepaper and the investor room; the enterprise register (verification layer, the ledger, collectors) speaks on /trust, /attest, and every document procurement reads. One artifact, one register.
Every claim tagged Live / Test / Building / Proposed
Exactly one layer, the operator network, is PROPOSED, and that is said plainly wherever it appears. A stack diagram where everything is green is a diagram nobody believes.
No invented numbers
Every figure traces to /status, the live API, or a named source. Anything else is removed. Retractions are recorded in the register and stay visible.
Light is evidence
Every luminous mark corresponds to something real that was measured, counted, or traversed. If removing a mark would not make the image untrue, the mark does not belong.
The naming law
The agent-commerce product is CLEAR (every job clears on evidence); the governed tier of hosting is ATTEST. The old expansion is retired; the external protocol is always fully qualified as Virtuals ACP, never bare. A third ACP earns confusion, not recognition.
Status colours are operational only
Amber #F5A623 (attention), red #FF4D4D (critical), and green #22C55E (resolved) exist solely on operational surfaces: /os, the rooms, /status internals. They never appear on marketing or narrative pages, where rule 04 stands. #00B5B8 is canon teal; #00FFD1 is retired unless explicitly scoped to the search scanner UI.
| Swatch | Token | Hex | Usage |
|---|---|---|---|
| Black | #000000 | 85 to 90% of all surfaces | |
| Void | #030305 | subtle depth behind black | |
| Glow Silver | #E6F0F7 | text, hairlines, data values | |
| Field Blue | #3DA5FF | interaction and energy, only | |
| Electric Teal | #00B5B8 | the anomaly, once per frame | |
| Violet | #6A5CFF | the PROPOSED tag |
Typography: JetBrains Mono for labels and data · Inter for prose · letter-spacing wide on labels, tight on headlines. Opacity does the hierarchy work; extra colors do not.
The three-blade mark is the original Taifoon logo. White or metal on black is the default; the black version is for light ground only. The wordmark is TAIFOON in JetBrains Mono Bold at 0.2em tracking, no slashes. Keep clear space of half the mark’s height on every side, and never recolour, rotate or outline it.
The 2026-08 brand pack is authoritative: six products, six shapes, three motifs and no fourth. Light is evidence. Every mark counts something.
- The banned-word grep over every changed artifact must find zero.
- Teal-once and radius-zero, by inspection of the rendered page.
- Every changed page rendered headless, screenshotted at 1600w and 390w, and looked at before it is called done.
- Every figure traced to /status or the live API, or removed.
- A verification failure is never worked around by weakening the check.
Bound now: www.taifoon.io and the coordination pages (/coordination-layer · /coordination/live · /status · /stack · /swarm · /x402 · /whitepaper). Other properties adopt as they are touched.
