prysm/aip.md

application molecule in prysm

the aip icon in the top-left corner of prysm/grid (inside prysm/context zone). by default shows the active application icon. tap opens a dropdown menu listing available applications — each item is an icon + text label. menu extends down from the icon, max length to the middle of the screen

protocol role

aip is a molecule in the element tree $\mathcal{T}$. lives inside prysm/context zone. the icon is always visible. the menu is an overlay at $\mathcal{U} = 30$ (interrupting)

sizing

$s_{min} = (4g, 4g)$ — icon only

structure

collapsed (default):

ion [4g, active aip icon]

expanded (on tap):

glass [fix(25g) × auto, depth foreground, max height square_h/2, overflow scroll]
  stack vertical [gap g/2]
    stack horizontal [gap g]
      ion [2g, oracle icon]
      text [body, "Oracle"]
    stack horizontal [gap g]
      ion [2g, brain icon]
      text [body, "Brain"]
    stack horizontal [gap g]
      ion [2g, portal icon]
      text [body, "Portal"]
    stack horizontal [gap g]
      ion [2g, sense icon]
      text [body, "Sense"]
    stack horizontal [gap g]
      ion [2g, sigma icon]
      text [body, "Sigma"]
    ...

fold

aip does not fold — icon is always $4g$ × $4g$. menu appears/disappears, does not fold

emotion

active aip icon can carry emotion reflecting the aip's state (e.g. sense icon glows when unread messages). inactive items in menu are neutral

states

state transitions: menu slide down $150\text{ms}$ ease

interaction

• tap icon → toggle menu (expand/collapse)
• tap menu item → navigate to that aip, menu closes
• tap outside menu → close menu
• active aip is highlighted in menu list

where in prysm/grid

inside prysm/context zone (row 1, col 1). icon is part of context. menu is overlay at z: 30, drops down from context zone

3D

icon renders at frame $p_z$ ($\mathcal{U} = 10$). menu renders at interrupting $p_z$ ($\mathcal{U} = 30$) — closer to neuron than frame

ECS

• Entity: aip organelle
• Components:
  • Sizing { width: Fix(4), height: Fix(4) } — icon
  • AipList { list of (aip_id, icon, label) } — available applications
  • ActiveAip { aip_id } — currently active
  • Visibility { collapsed | expanded } — menu state
  • Emotion { color } — from active aip state
• Systems:
  • AipMenuSystem handles tap to toggle, tap on item to navigate
  • AipEmotionSystem reads aip states, writes icon emotion
