Data and Figure Index

The Data and Figure Index records visual and numerical assets as evidence-bearing objects. A figure should not be only a file path. It should have a source, a purpose, alt text, a page where it is used, a license status, and a review status.

As of this review, the committed visual asset set consists of 26 SVG figures under public/figures/ and 26 matching TikZ sources under public/figures-src/.

Current Guides

Section titled “Current Guides”
  • Figure Index: committed figure files, sources, and primary pages.
  • Diagram Index: conceptual and schematic diagrams by function.
  • Animation Index: admission rules and planned animation families.
  • Datasets: dataset admission, provenance, and checksum expectations.
  • Plot Reproduction: rules for generated plots and notebook-backed figures.
  • Licensing: license, attribution, and reuse policy for assets.
  • Accessibility Notes: alt text, captions, color, motion, and dataset accessibility rules.

Asset Admission Rule

Section titled “Asset Admission Rule”

An asset belongs in the reference layer only when it has:

  • a stable path,
  • source or provenance,
  • the page or pages where it appears,
  • purpose and plotted or diagrammed quantity,
  • alt text or an accessibility explanation,
  • license status,
  • review or reproducibility status.

Schematic diagrams should have tracked source files. Notebook-generated plots should link to a reproducible notebook or script and a benchmark check.

Current Asset Families

Section titled “Current Asset Families”
Family Current Status Source Pattern
canonical-system SVG diagrams committed public/figures/wave-mechanics/*.svg with matching TikZ

notebook-generated static plots planned require source notebook and validation
animations none accepted yet require source, time scale, and validation
external historical images none accepted yet require provenance and license review
numerical datasets none accepted yet require source, checksum, and reproduction path
