# Flagship Master Plate

## Purpose

The flagship plate explores the central Chaos ↔ Meaning polarity as packaging and visual-direction reference. It is not a canonical drawable Tile.

## Invariants

- The composition moves from an open particulate field toward a registered constellation and archive map.
- It remains text-free, original, rounded-square, midnight enamel, and warm gold.
- Cyan, violet, and ember are restrained accents rather than competing focal points.
- The plate may inspire material and atmosphere but may not replace Class-specific border grammar.

## Production Rules

- Reference file: ../reference-tiles/masters/chaos-meaning-cover.png.
- Current source: Codex ImageGen, generated 2026-08-24, 1254 × 1254, without reference images.
- Before production use, create or approve a 2048 master and record every transformation from the current reference.
- Prompt summary: chaotic cosmic field resolving across a central aperture into coherent constellation and archive structure.

## States, Scale, and Accessibility

- Meaning and class remain legible at 96, 256, 512, 1024, and 2048 pixels.
- Selected, hover, focus, disabled, and high-attention states add interface contours outside the master art; they never destructively recolor the source.
- No state, class, claim, or evidence condition depends on color alone; accessible live text supplies title, class, evidence, and safety information.

## Quality Gate

- [ ] Plate is clearly labeled non-canonical in inventories.
- [ ] No franchise, logo, character, occult cliché, or lettering appears.
- [ ] Material and lighting pass the shared constitution.
- [ ] Production master, derived sizes, and checksum exist.
- [ ] Rights and approval status are explicit.

## Rights and Provenance

Every asset must be original or used under documented permission. Record card ID, prompt or source file, creator/tool, model version where relevant, date, dimensions, color profile, source references, rights status, and checksum. Franchise-derived entries use critical symbolic abstraction and may not reproduce protected logos, characters, costumes, frames, screenshots, or production art. Sacred and community-held imagery requires context and authority; do not turn it into generic decoration.
