Observer layer

Cardinal runs inside the Substrate. The Administrator watches through Express, without entering. The Observer layer doesn't touch Continuity. It only reads.

Observation modes

Raw log stream

Every tick, every Scintilla, every action. For analysis.

Event feed

Significant events only, in readable form. For monitoring.

Chronicle summary

Compressed narrative from the chronicle tick. Readable as history.

Spatial view

2D map render with Scintilla positions, territories, resource overlays, event markers.

Scintilla inspector

Full Continuity, relationship map, current need levels.

Lineage graph

Generational tree. Trait drift visualization across generations.

Knowledge map

Track a knowledge item across Scintillae and time. See it spread, mutate, or die.

Run controls

Backup, restore, and reset. Basic auth on the dashboard.

Civilization without design. Culture without instruction. History without author. Meaning without assignment.

And seeing what survives anyway.
