Clone · iteration history · for the article

Clone — the story so far.

One presence platform, explored end to end: from the working gated MVP, through the design direction, to three rounds of consumer/retail concepts — themes, characters, the quality dial, mirror mode, the digital twin, new use cases, and the constellation. Everything bundled here.

Round 4 · Constellation

A 3D relationship graph — The Hearth (your family universe) and The Pantheon (a hall of minds). Enter it, navigate by depth/opacity + color-coded relationships, then flip into Salon mode — the chosen avatars glide into a conversational arc and talk (a glow-ring shows who's speaking, no risky lip-sync). Plus a Temporal Slider (drag time, watch the tree grow) and grief-safety by design. → the plan

The Hearth — You at the center, family fanning out by depth.
Graph → Salon — selected nodes become a conversational arc.
Salon in action — glow-ring + gaze show who's speaking.
Reunion — "tell me how you two met again."
Isolate / Start Salon / View Profile — focus tools.
The Pantheon — a personal boardroom of minds.
Temporal Slider — the family tree across time.
Grief-safety — a gentle "pause & reflect" circuit-breaker.
