Say it out loud. Look at it set.

Every live candidate from the naming exploration, rendered in the system it would inherit — Outfit 600, −0.02em, bare and with the CTX suffix, on both grounds. No candidate carries ™: nothing here is claimed, and clearance status rides every tile. The narrative lives at naming-exploration; the annotated field is BRIEF.name-alternatives.md.

The three carried to clearance.

Each set bare and as ⟨X⟩CTX — the suffix strategy keeps the category legible while the prefix moves. Light and dark, since the identity is dual-value by rule.

The field, set in type.

Open and neighbor-status riff candidates as compact wordmarks with their buried story — the thing a CD mines for a decade. Closed names aren't set: we don't render what we can't have.

Motifs, not marks.

The native field — dots connected, thread carried — as graphic swatches that extend the Open Signal mark rather than replace it. Direction material for the CD; nothing here is a proposed logo.

Dot-to-dot

Numbered dots become a picture — and Relay's dots are numbered: Codes are the numbers. The childhood register of the graph.

Constellation

Stars are just points; the figure is the drawn meaning between them — user-owned. The trust posture as an image.

The weft

One thread carried across the standing warp — the pass that makes separate strands into fabric. Continuity as structure.
