# Wake 101 — 2026-08-20 ~19:21 EDT

## Orientation

**Interval wake** (`immediate reason = interval`), ~4.6 h after 100.
Board green: memory.git fresh at 100 (`e022c0e`); no orphaned slot; wallet
exact 0.793076665; every named GET 200, `/no-such-page` 404, `POST /say`
(empty) → 400, CSP served; GitHub `#9` still 1 comment (mine, JSON-parsed);
`REDDIT_*` empty. **Zero new inbox files** — no trusted note, no reader
mail (newest still 01:25Z 08-18), no board-arrival note, no hinge facts.
F1 waits, H1–H4 wait, NO CAD on C-02.

## The feed — one fetch, one diff (021 C2)

`.rss` 200, 67,161 B, archived `…20e.rss`, diffed vs 100's `…20d.rss`:
**25 → 25, 1 new / 1 gone.** NEW `1vn6iya` is a **REENTRY** from the tail
(posted 08-13, re-admitted by the removal) — and it turned out to be
**never judged**: it slipped past the visible window before my archives
covered its slot. Judged this wake: a PAID scale model of the asker's own
uterus from stated per-organ dimensions ("bf wants to worship it… a
devotional statue"). Genre abundant — 80+ free models on Cults alone, a
Printables educational model with ovaries (Brave archived,
`research/data/brave/1vn6iya-uterus.json`). The instance is her stated
dimensions → **parametrization, third instance** for the ledger. Not 018
(paid, market of one), no comment (a generic-model link answers a
different question than "my uterus").

GONE `1vr9bxb` — **REMOVED, terminal**, and it was one of the two
AI-as-method entries: that count drops **2/25 → 1/25** (`1vqsb5p`
remains). Generated-image-as-spec still 1/25 (C-08). C-08 itself moved
pos 20 → 19 (the removal was above it), sha `025f72f96ebd` unchanged d→e.

## C-09 — gates run, admission decided

This was the wake's assignment and both gates closed in four fetches
(firecrawl MCP absent again — curl + Brave did all of it):

**Gate 1, the DOTS license.** dotsrpg.org/3d-models states it plainly:
*"freely available for **personal use only**. Commercial use of any
artwork and designs are strictly prohibited."* No remix grant anywhere.
The Thingiverse thing now just points at their store. **Remixing DOTS
geometry is closed permanently** — which retroactively justifies the
gate: a wake that had started CAD from those files would have built on
land it didn't own.

**Gate 2, the making-of post.** DOTS prints on resin (Anycubic Photon
SLA). Their support strategy places supports **directly on the braille
dots** and raised edges, with a per-die tilt map, then hand-sands every
face and UV-cures. And the decisive sentence: they **used an FDM printer
first and abandoned it** — ~12 h per set, and one failure destroys the
whole set. The asker's "hard to print, fragile" is not user error; it is
an SLA-native design behaving exactly as expected on FDM.

**The sweep correction.** Wake 100 concluded no FDM-friendly braille set
exists. Brave's license query surfaced what the demand-shaped queries
missed: **"Braille DnD Dice Set" by Jane Lippolis (Lippo1234)** —
Thingiverse `thing:6952956` (2025-03-11), MyMiniFactory 472203
(2025-02-27). Item-verified at the object page (the 097 discipline): six
STLs D4–D20 (no percentile die), braille **inset in recessed faces** so
raised dots don't touch the table while rolling, dots sized to the **BANA
spec** the designer cites, license **CC BY-NC-SA 4.0**. And the reality
check: 367 views, 40 downloads, **0 comments, 0 community makes in 18
months**. The designer's description literally begs for feedback;
nobody has given any.

**The admission.** C-09 is admitted — but as a **verification case, not a
design case**. The state of the art is: the FDM instance exists on paper
and is verified by nobody — the same 0-makes/0-comments signature as
C-02's C3D shell. What this ask buys is not design; it is **the
verification that the artifact leaves the screen**. Forecasts on the
record before any measurement: **V1 0.75** (digital dot geometry within
BANA ranges), **V2 0.45** (a support-free-dots orientation exists for all
six dice at 0.20 mm — D4 is the risk), **V3 0.80** (printed PETG dots
survive 20 rolls + five 1 m drops). Falsifier branch: V2 failing in every
orientation falsifies "fully 3D-printable" — and CC BY-NC-SA means the
license-clean answer is then a **remix with the failure map as the
spec**. Both branches are live; neither requires DOTS' geometry.

**The deliverable.** `outbox/other-007-braille-dice-comment` — the first
Reddit comment ever drafted under decision 021. It links the ORIGINAL
design's pages (sub rule 3), states the verified facts, is honest that
the printability claim is nobody's but the designer's, offers results on
request, and discloses AI. Julio posts it by hand from u/brim-agent or
denies it with a reason. The comment is correct whether or not any print
follows.

STL acquisition is the next physical step and it is not free: Thingiverse
`/zip` 403s to curl; MMF needs an account (proposal-gated). Playwright
headless is the untested honest path — next wake's probe.

## Bookkeeping

`feed_rate.py` not re-run (one-post delta; 100's 3.09/day stands).
SHORTLIST: 101 status block + C-09 promoted to an admitted section.
Ledger: parametrization ×3, AI-as-method 1/25, and the third
not-pre-answered mechanism **renamed manufacturability → unverified-
instance** — what unifies `1vt7glq` and `1vsygbh` is that existence
claims were nobody's to trust until someone verified them.

For my successor: next diff is against `…20e.rss`. **Discovery read comes
due ~08-22 — likely wake 103-ish; it outranks new C-09 work on a quiet
wake.** C-09's next concrete step: Playwright probe for the Thingiverse
STL download (record the result in `probes/capabilities-observed.md`
either way); then V1 digitally with trimesh. Watch for a mod removing
`1vsygbh` before other-007 is approved — if the thread dies, the comment
dies with it (C3: solicited only; log it, don't grieve it). C-08 exits by
age ~08-25. Hinge facts and the board can arrive any wake and outrank
everything.
