shape_metadata.jsonLayered Depth — 15 subjects, one family
Dark backplate that never moves, gold life floating against it, one signature motion each — now stress-tested across faces, animals, birds, vehicles, fruits, symbols, elements, plants, drinks, sky, celebration, sea, nature and space. Every card carries its 15-item metadata (nouns · verbs · adjectives · visual · semantic). Judge the 24px rows: do all fifteen feel like siblings?
What this page decides
The Layered Depth rules under test on every category: dark backplate is a duplicate (or echo) of the subject's mass, offset down-right, and it never moves · the gold subject floats 2px against it at 3.5s · structure and features are dark, life and accents are gold/#f59f0a · one signature motion per subject at an integer ratio of 3.5s (0.875s / 1.75s / 7s — never coprime) · everything stays inside the viewBox at full displacement. If any of the fifteen feels wrong — too crowded, too plain, motion too nervous or too dead — name it; that note becomes a rule before the 20 pilot briefs are written.
