The Mythos Lab

The BBB character system, live against real app math: one classical marble identity across the user statue (30-state matrix), the exercise iconography (the full 93-lift catalog below), and the Oracle — Ben's perfect statue. Everything on this page runs on the same functions and asset paths the client-app integration will use.

01 · the statue

The state matrix — your body, in marble

Drag the inputs. deriveComposition() — the exact function the intake avatar and home hero run — maps to a muscularity rung and a fat band; the nearest of 30 offline renders swaps in. This is the LivingMarble2D renderer's mapping, proven on the admin surface first.

Living Marble statue — rung 2, soft
cell m-r2-softmusc 0.34 · fat 0.29
deriveComposition() — live

The male sheet — 5 rungs × 3 bands

Crossing a cell boundary is a visible milestone event by construction — “your statue just crossed rung 3” is the retention mechanic the quantized matrix buys before the 3D morphable statue lands. Current fat band: soft.

02 · the iconography

The marble iconography — 93 of 93

The complete engine catalog in Living Marble (farm greenlit + run 2026-07-10; Ben's compound spot-check is post-hoc — flag a miss and a targeted retake ships from the prompt table). Keyed by catalog id at /exercises/<id>.webp — a missing icon renders nothing, never a broken image. Pilot-12 flagships marked ★.

03 · the oracle

Ben's perfect statue — the coach

The six stills, one per VideoCoach clip state (the ratified mapping is on each card). All six raw “breathing stone” loops are already generated (Veo 3.1); what remains is alpha matting + the existing dual-format encode, same filenames, zero code — and celebrate finally bakes the trophy clip the contract has declared since June.

The statue becomes the face of the engine

The five-engine loop persists per-muscle damage, a recovery vector, adaptation probabilities, phase state and testing unlocks — and renders none of it yet (step 8). The v2 spec maps that state onto this statue on three channels: FORM (weeks — the chisel driven by real logged damage, not just coverage), MOMENTS (rung-crossings, testing unlocks, PRs — celebration beats), and STATE (daily — gated on the Ben/Elijah semantics session; the statue never visibly loses what the client earned).

integration notes · elijah's lane

Lifting this into the client app

  • Statue: a LivingMarble2D renderer behind BodyRendererProps — the cell mapping is _lib/matrix.ts on this page, assets already at their final /avatar/matrix/ home.
  • Icons: render-layer only, keyed by catalog id — session card, plan accordion, exercise database.
  • Oracle: Phase-B clip swap is zero code (same filenames); trophy is a one-enum wire-up.
  • Rollout: no flag system — A/B here and at /lab/avatar, wire the winner statically, rollback is one revert. Roadmap: josh-os BBB/mythos-project/roadmap-opus-handoff.md.
