notifications chrome — mid-left

notify: ambient signals from the world. incoming messages, system events, sensor data. the sense chrome is where the world enters — before language, before computation, raw contact between an agent and its environment

also the full cyb/sense messenger cell: conversations with neurons, particle history, and LLM chat (rendered in spacetime when opened)

sense as concept

the domain of perception and embodiment. every particle in the cybergraph was sensed by some agent before it was linked. cameras, microphones, chemical sensors, human eyes — these are the neurons at the edge of the graph. the protocol's neuron concept abstracts over sensory sources: a human linking a photograph and a satellite uploading spectral data are the same operation. cyb as an interface is a sense organ for the graph — it renders particles into visual, textual, and auditory form for human consumption

modalities — vision, hearing, touch, taste, smell, proprioception, thermoception, nociception, equilibrioception. the graph must handle all of them: images, sounds, chemical data, spatial coordinates

qualia — the subjective quality of experience. qualia resist reduction. they are why a superintelligence that only processes symbols is incomplete — it must also receive the world directly

protocol role

molecule in the element tree $\mathcal{T}$. membrane = mid-left zone of prysm/grid. S widget on left edge shows unread count + emotion of latest signal.

core function

the sense chrome slot shows an unread count and the emotional state of the latest incoming signal. any chroma can post a notification via (*, sense, notify, …). sense never disrupts spacetime — it accumulates signals at the edge and lets the neuron decide when to open them.

widget layout (chrome slot)

glass [fix × fill(mid-left edge), depth overlay]
  stack vertical [align center]
    vector [S icon]
    counter [micro, unread count, green]
    pill [emotion of latest signal]

S widget glow reflects emotion of latest incoming message

spacetime cell (full messenger)

opened when S widget tapped — renders in space zone:

glass [fill × fill, depth background]
  stack horizontal [gap 0]
    --- left: conversation list ---
    glass [fix(25g) × fill, depth midground, overflow scroll]
      tabs [All | # | @ | llm]
      stack vertical [gap 0]
        glass [fill × fix(8g)] — per conversation
          stack horizontal [gap g]
            glass [fix(5g) × fix(5g), corner-radius 5g/2] — avatar
            stack vertical
              text [body, "@mastercyb"]
              text [caption, "last message preview"]
            text [micro, "24/03"]
            counter [micro, message count badge]
    --- right: active conversation ---
    glass [fill × fill, depth midground, overflow scroll]

tabs

All — all conversations combined, sorted by last activity

# (particle history) — who interacted with a particle created by this avatar

@ (neuron chats) — direct messaging. chat bubbles: incoming left, outgoing right. each message is a cyberlink with conviction (green token counter)

llm — chat with AI models. model selector, conversation list, message thread. commander: "ask the model" + "Send" + attach + edit buttons

fold

$\mathcal{F}$:

• $l_1$ ($w_{min} = 40g$): conversation list + active chat side by side
• $l_2$ ($w_{min} = 20g$): tap conversation → full-width chat (push navigation)
• $l_3$ ($w_{min} = 10g$, mobile): same as $l_2$, compact
