LAVS-001 is the binary format. Each file below is one numbered, attributed, signed copy of a 3D scene — portable, version-pinned, license-declared, byte-stable. The spec is open. The editions are art.

Pre-signing
The format carries edition identity inside the file. Author, edition number, license, palette pin, provenance, and (when signing lands) the ed25519 signature. A buyer can verify a Lavos edition offline — the receipt is the artwork, not a separate document. The catalog below is sealed as release candidates; YubiKey hardware lands the signatures.
Edition 1/33
A polished teal Möbius strip — one continuous orientable surface that proves it is not. Sealed as Lavos Edition I/33.
Edition 1/33
A (3, 2) torus knot — the trefoil — sealed in transmissive amber glass with iridescent surface and sheen. 8,481 vertices, 16,384 triangles.
Edition 1/33
16 Voronoi cells from 16 seeds (organic layout, deterministic seed=42), sealed in transmissive amber glass with iridescent surface. Each cell is its own Buffer + Material + Mesh; the runtime renders the same composition the live formation emits.
Edition 1/33
A Lindenmayer-system binary tree, 8 iterations of axiom "FA" under rule A → [+FA][-FA], deterministic seed=42. 511 branches across 9 depth tiers, merged into a single Buffer (20,440 verts, 12,264 tris).
Edition 1/33
A dense feedforward network — 36 nodes across layers [4,8,12,8,4] fully connected by 256 edges. Sealed at deterministic seed=77 with glass node material and dimmed edge material. 13,252 verts, 13,600 tris.
Edition 1 (open)
The LAVS-001 canonical worked example. A unit cube with a teal PBR material, sealed in the Lavos Binary Format.
The gallery — pending
This page is the announcement layer. The gallery will be the immersion layer — editions rendered live through the LavosMotionEngine, edition badge surfaced via the fast-path reader, ed25519 signatures verified in the browser, buy-flow attached when buy-flow exists. Two surfaces, one catalog.
Not deployed yet — DNS + standalone Vite project pending the post-signing seam.
