Field notes
The picture sample demonstrates binary counting from 1 to 10 before drawing a person, while the grid’s 23-by-73 dimensions are explained through the prime factors of 1,679. The star map positions stars by right ascension and logarithmic distance. Birthday-based suggestions require no year, and the page says the birthday stays on the visitor’s device; messages can also be excluded from the public log.
