Identity

The RR mark, as data. The five lives the hero molts through — three uppercase stances, the detached, and the minuscule — and the marks the machine slaps from them. Every form is an asset: copy the raw ASCII or download as SVG; copy a slapped mark's text and it rebuilds in the machine. Auto follows the hour's palette.

The stance, committed: left foot kicks out, the leg lands past the bowl with a flared foot.

Terminal calm: the leg drops straight. The quietest of the lives.

The strict staircase, launched from the stem — one cell per row, all the way down.

The fourth life. The bowl comes off — a shed piece, not a new costume. It sits ahead of the minuscule so the cycle loses mass in one direction and regrows once: 137, 134, 134, 129, 99 fine-cut cells, then the wrap grows the whole stance back.

The fifth life. Molt far enough and the mark lowercases itself — full-height stem, shoulder at the top, a tip that still stops early.

RR — slapped

The stance pair, put through the machine. The mark and its machine output are the same object now.

RRRZ — the family

The family name spelled in the lives — splayed, planted, diagonal, then Z. The machines wear it: SLAP is RRRZ 002, the handset RRRZ 003, the range's own numbers; the dream machine is 001. SIG 344.

rr — the minuscule

The fifth life, twice — molted all the way down and slapped at full age.

zzzs — catch some

What the handset is for.

Yours — paste a tag

Slap one in the machine, copy its text, paste it here — a profile-ready PNG comes out.

Any of these rebuilds from its text — paste it into the machine. Then go catch some Zzzs.
