Test Pages Overview

All pages below demonstrate semantic rendering with four orthogonal axes:

Semantic Axes

  • Vibe: serene → gentle → steady → vibrant → intense → urgent
  • Intent: engage → inform → persuade → direct
  • Narrative: exposition → inciting → rising → climax → falling → resolution
  • Cohesion: 9 relational types (opens, continues, amplifies, ...)

Result

All 1,296 combinations (6×4×6×9) are valid and produce distinct visual styling: spacing, colors, typography, and emphasis.

Main Test Page

Baseline rendering with default semantic values (steady vibe, inform intent, rising narrative, continues cohesion).

Edge Cases (Semantic Axis Combinations)

These test unusual and paradoxical combinations to validate the semantic system:

Serene + Direct

Test: Can calm aesthetics drive urgent action?

Serene hero with light typography, but with a red "direct" CTA button that creates visual tension.

View →

Urgent + Inform

Test: Can urgent visuals clarify facts?

Breaking-news energy (red, bold) with clear information hierarchy instead of sensationalism.

View →

Gentle + Climax

Test: Can emotional peaks be gentle?

Soft aesthetics at the narrative climax—emotional resonance without visual aggression.

View →

Intense + Exposition

Test: Can openings be visually intense?

Bold dramatic entrance without needing narrative build-up. Intensity from the start.

View →

Cohesion Flow

Test: All 9 cohesion relationship types in sequence

Opens → continues → amplifies → supports → contrasts → pivots → echoes → resolves → closes. Watch how visual relationships evolve.
