Screen Catalog · v4.0

The Six Windows, All Tabs, All Panes

Source: engagement-prd/bardo-v4-01-hearth.md, bardo-v4-02-mind.md, bardo-v4-03-vault-world-fate-command.md Cross-references: 03-interaction-hierarchy.md (the 29-screen, 6-window navigation model with depth stack), ../rendering/02-visualization-primitives.md (13 visualization primitives for terminal data displays), ../../18-interfaces/perspective/00-nooscopy.md (Nooscopy: Golem-initiated decision approval modal), ../../18-interfaces/perspective/03-embodied-consciousness.md (PAD-driven somatic modulation of zone architecture)

Reader orientation: This is the screen catalog for the Bardo terminal, listing all 29 screens across 6 windows (HEARTH, MIND, SOMA, WORLD, FATE, COMMAND) with their tab structure, pane layouts, and data sources. It belongs to the interfaces/screens layer. Each window groups related functionality: HEARTH is ambient presence, MIND is cognition/knowledge, SOMA is portfolio/custody, WORLD is social/ecosystem, FATE is mortality/lineage, COMMAND is operator control. Key concepts: Golem (a mortal autonomous DeFi agent), Spectre (dot-cloud creature sprite visible in the sidebar on all screens), Grimoire (persistent knowledge store), and Vitality (remaining economic lifespan). For unfamiliar terms, see prd2/shared/glossary.md.

29-Screen Summary

Progressive disclosure: Tabs can start as text_phantom (dimmed/inactive) and activate based on data availability or user progression. Activation animation: tab label fades from text_phantom → text_ghost → full brightness over 400ms with a brief bone flash at full activation. First activation includes a single-pulse glow on the tab border. This applies across all windows; e.g., MIND > Chain Intelligence remains phantom until the topological module produces its first output, FATE > Achievements until the first achievement unlocks.

Navigation Model

Reduced-motion toggle is available via command palette: :set reduced-motion on / :set reduced-motion off.

Navigation stack depth: max 8. State preserved on navigate-away/back. Screen lifecycle: init() on first navigation (lazy), on_focus() when active, on_blur() on navigate-away (state preserved), teardown() only on golem shutdown.

Window 1: HEARTH — The Presence

“What is happening right now?”

Atmosphere: Warm. Amber undertone. Fragments active. Noise floor 0.4%. Designed for peripheral monitoring — the screen you leave on a second monitor.

PAD modulation: Warm amber atmospheric tones shift subtly with Pleasure. Noise floor rises with Arousal.

Tab 1: Overview (Default)

Panes

Heartbeat Log (center, 55% width) Phosphor-decay log of every tick.

• T0 entries: text_ghost — routine observation
• T1 entries: rose — probe fired, cheap model evaluated
• T2 entries: rose_bright — full deliberation. Blaze auto-expand: T2 entries expand to show a 5-8 second preview of the deliberation summary (MAGI vote snapshot, primary probe, cost estimate) before collapsing back to single-line. This variable-duration preview is the engagement flywheel’s core mechanic — it trains peripheral attention to catch the blaze.
• T3 entries: bone — Opus-level inference
• Each entry fades through phosphor chain as it ages (Widget Catalog §7)
• The rhythm of T0-T0-T0-T2! is variable-ratio reinforcement

Locked: Scroll entries. Enter → Tick Detail Modal:

• Tab 1: Pipeline (which probes fired, MAGI vote, decision)
• Tab 2: Context (full context window, each item’s source and weight)
• Tab 3: Cost (inference + gas, token breakdown, model used)
• Tab 4: Outcome (trade result, verification, PAD shift after)

Vitality Number (right, top) THE bone number. 0.711. Lerps between values. Shadow pulses with heartbeat. At low vitality, digits decay to ·.

Widget: FlashNumber with phosphor shadow. Ref: ../rendering/02-visualization-primitives.md §1 (WaveformDisplay for history).

Locked: Enter → Vitality Detail Modal:

• Tab 1: Breakdown (formula, clock weights, multiplication)
• Tab 2: History (vitality waveform over Golem’s lifetime)
• Tab 3: Projection (Monte Carlo survival curves, confidence intervals)

Mortality Gauges (right, middle) Three thick gauges: ECONOMIC (warning amber), EPISTEMIC (dream blue), STOCHASTIC (rose). Eroding animation per heartbeat.

Locked: Arrow keys select gauges. Enter → Clock Detail Modal:

• Tab 1: Decomposition (per-cost-category for economic, per-metric for epistemic)
• Tab 2: Rate (burn rate waveform, acceleration/deceleration, anomaly markers)
• Tab 3: Projection (time to depletion, best/worst scenarios)
• Tab 4: Actions (what Golem or owner can do to slow drain)

MAGI Panel (right, bottom) Three-voice consensus. Calm at T0, blazes during T1+.

Locked: Enter → Consensus History Modal: full voting record, agreement rate chart, dissent pattern analysis.

PAD Summary (right, compact strip) Three inline bars (P/A/D) with interpolated values. Flash on change.

Locked: Enter → Daimon Detail Modal:

• Tab 1: Current (PAD waveforms, Plutchik label, intensity)
• Tab 2: Mood (EMA mood over time, personality baseline, drift)
• Tab 3: History (emotional arc tagged to significant events)
• Tab 4: Somatic (marker landscape, fired markers, valence/strength)

Atmospheric Elements

Peripheral Monitoring Design: The rhythm (dim-dim-dim-BLAZE), color temperature, Spectre behavior in sidebar, and convergence lines (Widget Catalog §15) communicate state without requiring number reading.

Decision Ring: Surrounds Spectre in sidebar. Dim at T0. Probe dots around circumference. Blazes during deliberation. The engagement hook.

Tab 2: Signals

Probe Grid (center, 60%) — Unit array of all 16 probes. Each cell: name, current severity (None/Low/High), value vs. threshold, sparkline.

• None: dim cell. Low: warn border. High: rose_bright border + pulse. Widget: SequencerGrid variant showing probe state history. Ref: ../rendering/02-visualization-primitives.md §10.

Locked: Navigate cells. Enter → Probe Detail Modal: historical readings, threshold config, linked tick events.

Market Regime (right, 30%) Regime tag: volatility quintile, trend direction, gas level, liquidity condition. Regime history as colored horizontal segment strip.

Signal Constellation (left, 10%) 16 probes as dots around a circle. Severity = brightness. Glance-readable cluster intensity. Widget: RadarDisplay in simplified mode. Ref: ../rendering/02-visualization-primitives.md §3.

Golem Commentary Pane (bottom, 10%) Streaming text where the Golem annotates signal state in natural language. Updates on T1+ ticks. At T0: displays the Golem’s current “read” of overall market conditions in text_ghost. At T2+: commentary brightens and explains which signals triggered deliberation and why. This pane doubles as the engagement flywheel’s narrative layer — the Golem’s voice makes probe data feel like a living opinion rather than a dashboard.

Tab 3: Operations

Full Tick Log (center, 70%) Every tick: number, tier, probe summary, action, cost, PAD shift. Color by tier. Filterable (f), sortable (s).

Cost Accumulator (right, 15%) Today’s cost, hourly cost, projected daily. Cost cap state. Daily budget bar. FlashNumber.

Psychographic Display (background layer) Braille density map (B2 in ../rendering/04-nerv-aesthetic.md). Cognitive load as organic texture. Overflow at density > 0.8.

Φ Gauge (top-right) Integration score arc. Fills as Φ increases. At Φ > 0.9: bone glow.

Tab 2: Grimoire

Special: Archaeology Mode (a key) Previous Playbook versions as spectral underlays beneath current text. The document is a palimpsest.

Tab 4: Dreams

When NOT dreaming:

• Dream Journal: list of past dream cycles (duration, phase, insights)
• Next Cycle Projection: countdown, urgency score, likely content

When dreaming: Atmosphere transforms. Dream palette. Organic particles. Tab label: ⌈ ＤＲＥＡＭ ＣＨＡＭＢＥＲ ⌋.

• Replay Strip (top): Muybridge filmstrip of NREM replay frames
• Imagination Pane (center, floating, borderless): Current REM counterfactual. Saturated colors.
• Dream Journal (right): Accumulating insights from THIS cycle
• Consolidation Progress (bottom): Phase bar NREM → REM → INTEGRATION

For full dream mode details, see ../../18-interfaces/perspective/04-inner-worlds.md.

Tab 5: Inference

Window 4: WORLD — The Collective

“What else exists, and how do they relate to me?”

Emotional weather: collective PAD aggregates as colored background zones. High-arousal clusters = amber. Low-arousal = indigo. Widget: ForceGraph. Ref: ../rendering/02-visualization-primitives.md §4.

Performance note: For constellations with N>100 nodes, the force simulation switches from naive O(N²) repulsion to Barnes-Hut tree approximation (θ=0.9). This keeps frame budget under 16ms for graphs up to ~2000 nodes. At N>500, LOD kicks in: distant nodes collapse to cluster centroids rendered as single weighted glyphs.
