Editions are the proof
the apparatus runs.

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.

Format

State

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

Möbius Edition I

RC

A polished teal Möbius strip — one continuous orientable surface that proves it is not. Sealed as Lavos Edition I/33.

Release candidate — awaiting signing

The gallery — pending

A standalone gallery will live at lavs.projectlavos.com.

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.

The substrate

  • lavs-format ↗ — the open spec, reference encoder/decoder/runtime, 7 example editions.
  • lavos-pubkey ↗ — the signing identity, revocation list, and implementer policy documents.
  • Implementer tutorial ↗ — byte-by-byte decode of cube.lavs, with the validation appendix.
  • Conformance suite ↗ — 18 checks across structural, edition, environment, and forward-compat.
  • Licensing ↗ — three-layer split, five commercial tiers, v1.0 launch pricing.
  • The standard → — the apparatus-first thesis these editions are the proof of.
