AI Compendium · Figure Catalog (art SSOT)

draft

Single source of truth for the illustration phase. Lists the 61 F-* figures of the Compendium, classified by production method and status. Just as the 8-section template organized the text (Part IV), this catalog organizes the art.


Art direction

  • Palette: #1d3557 (deep blue) · #457b9d (medium blue) · #a8dadc (light

    blue) · #e63946 (accentloopalert) · #f1faee (background).

  • Figure typography: sans-serif (Inter/Segoe UI); title 22 pt bold,

    captions 11–13 pt.

  • Formats: SVG (web, vector, source of truth) → PNG/falling into the PDF via

    the D2/WeasyPrint toolchain. Photos in high resolution (≥1500 px wide).

  • Assets: SVGPNG live in `assets` within each part (e.g.,

    01-ciclo-de-vida/assets/F-I.1-ciclo-de-vida.svg). D2 diagrams stay inline and render directly (they don't appear here).

  • Metaphor mark: whenever a figure represents a metaphorical concept, indicate it

    visually (dashed / translucent outline), as in F-I.5.

Production methods

Method Meaning Who produces
svg Diagram/infographic authorable by hand in SVG this session / AI
illus Pictorial/artistic scene image generator or illustrator
photo Photo of a real historical person/object find public domain / Wikimedia (check license)
d2 Already an inline D2 diagram (renders) toolchain — no asset needed

Current status — 31 SVGs ready and render-verified

  • Part I (5/5): F-I.1 cycle · F-I.2 conveyor · F-I.3 icons · F-I.4 heat

    map · F-I.5 three layers.

  • Part II (1/1): F-II.1 mural (6 paradigms × cards).
  • Part III (frieze): F-III.0 frieze of 7 eras. (F-III.1–19 = photos/scenes, external.)
  • Part IV (35/35): 24 flow anatomies (common generator) + 11

    special hand-authored (Transformer 1.0, LLM cycle 1.1, GAN 5, GNN 11, multimodal 14, knowledge graph 17, Bayesian DAG 19, GP curve 21, forest+SVM 22, swarm 25, MCTS tree 27). All render-verified.

  • illus (~7) and photos (~12) from Part III — the only outstanding items, and they are

    external steps (image generator / Wikimedia curation).

42 SVG figures from Parts I–IV/VII ready. The Part III archive remains (photos/scenes — art-briefs.kmd) and the figures of the new Parts V and VI (below, still as briefs).

Parts V–VI and state of the art ✅

Added during the integration of the former Volume (2026-06-27); 14 SVGs authored and render-verified (constellation, workshop, levers, funnel, pyramid, workbench, panel, gears, flywheel, knowledge-hub, proof, material, life, product):

  • Part III: F-III.20 constellation of 2026 models (svg/illus).
  • Part V — Building AI: F-V.0 workshop · F-V.1 levers at scale ·

    F-V.2 data funnel · F-V.3 pyramid of builds · F-V.4 toolbench · F-V.5 evaluation panel · F-V.6 why code wins · F-V.7 Kode flywheel.

  • Part VI — Domains: F-VI.0 AI crossing disciplines · F-VI.1 verified

    proof · F-VI.2 equation→material · F-VI.3 life folded/generated · F-VI.4 foundation→local product.

Production summary

Method Qty Note
svg ~42 Authorable by the AI; 2 ready (F-I.1, F-I.5)
illus ~7 Pictorial scenes — require an image generator/illustrator (not available in this session as a tool)
photo ~12 Find public domain / Wikimedia; verify license before publishing

Pipeline honesty: schematic SVGs the AI produces here. The illus scenes and the photos require, respectively, an image generator/illustrator and curation of free archives — steps external to this session. The catalog leaves each figure ready to commission.
