Energy Thought Summit 2027 · Austin, Texas · theme "Free Your Mind" Status: draft v1 for owner review · 2026-10-13 · owner of this file: design direction
This document sets the visual and interaction direction for the ETS27 site: the white opening realm, the two-door fork, the AI-driven "interactive" route, the standard route with its omnipresent mind, type, palette, motion, fallbacks, the head itself, and the persona. It is written for the prototype and architecture work that follows; sections 4, 5 and 9 are the ones the build consumes directly.

Tokens measured in the live DOM (not eyeballed):
ETS-Logo-Black.png (1094×509), a rounded geometric lowercase "ets". It stays. The SVG source is an open question (§11).rgb(193,17,90) = #C1115A. Register: outlined button in #2C242C.rgb(83,235,228) = #53EBE4 (aqua). Footer links: Montserrat 22 px in the same aqua.#2C242C (a plum-black, not pure black). Body background: #2C242C behind a white page shell.ETS26 | hack_the_planet [INITIATE].whova.com/embedded/speakers/…; the agenda is presumably also Whova. The mind cannot "materialize" what lives in someone else's iframe — see §11.ETS26 merch lineage (../ets26/shirt-tote/): black grounds, CP437/ANSI block type, phosphor amber #FFB000, neon green #39FF14, Phrack red/magenta, the // ets26 . hack the planet lowercase mono line, root@gibson :: ets26 prompts, [#] bracket markers, the .nfo speaker list. The brand's notation is //, [ ], ::, >, lowercase mono, and it was always black-on-white on the page with the hacker-world on the merch.
ETS26 was the hacker's room: black glass, static, phosphor, the planet as a target. "Free Your Mind" is the step through to the other side of that screen — an open, white, endless place where nothing exists until it is asked for. That is not decoration; it is the product. A site built on intelligent UI holds no fixed pages in its interactive form: when a visitor says what they came for, the thing itself materializes — the speaker, the day, the room, the ticket — and nothing else. The white realm is the honest picture of what the software does. The theme, the visual and the interaction model are one idea: a mind in free space, with the site as the space and the visitor's intent as the only thing in it. The head is the visitor's own: a smooth, matte, featureless cranium from the nose bridge up, blank sockets facing the light. No face means anyone's face. It does not look at you; it waits with you.
The hacker-cinema lineage continues by inheritance, not by quotation. ETS26 owned the 1995 world (terminals, static, "hack the planet"); ETS27 owns the 1999 idea that a mind can load whatever it needs into an empty white construct. We take the idea and the emptiness, never the props: no green rain, no sunglasses, no coats, no lines from the film anywhere on the site, and the word "construct" never appears in the interface. What carries the family resemblance is the notation the brand already owns — // tags, [ bracket ] verbs, the > prompt, lowercase mono lines, the .nfo list — now set in the light instead of on black, the same phosphor seen in daylight. ETS26's site accent and merch "signature" magenta becomes the one mark of colour in the white. The result should read to a utility executive as calm, precise and new, and to anyone who knows the references as a knowing nod they were never hit over the head with.
Stage: full viewport, white realm, no nav, no scroll. The wordmark ets sits small at top-left from frame 0 (never animated, never absent — the brand is the one fixed thing). A mono skip hint [ skip ] sits bottom-right from 0.4 s. Any click, key, tap, scroll or the skip link jumps straight to the 4.8 s state. Return visitors (a local flag set on first completed intro) get the compressed 1.4 s version (beats 0, 2b, 3 only, overlapping).
| Time | Beat | What the viewer sees | Mechanics |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0.00–0.40 | White | Pure #FFFFFF, a 2 % film grain so it is a space, not a blank tab. Nothing moves yet. |
Shader canvas mounts under a white CSS layer; the CSS layer fades at 0.4 s so a slow GPU never shows a black flash. |
| 0.40–1.20 | Weather | The lower third thickens into fog (warm-neutral whites, fog-1→fog-3), four cloud planes begin to drift at different speeds. A horizon forms at 56 % of viewport height. |
Cloud planes alpha in over 800 ms; drift speeds 6/4/2.5/1.5 px/s. Pointer parallax arms at 1.2 s. |
| 1.20–3.20 | Condense | The head rises out of the fog line, 10 % of viewport height over 2 s, decelerating. It starts as a cloud-displaced blob and resolves into the cranium, brow ridge and nose bridge as the displacement falls to zero. The blank sockets are the last thing to appear, as occlusion darkens inside them. | uRise 0→1 with --ease-out-soft; uResolve (domain-warp amplitude) 0.12→0 with the same ease, lagging 300 ms. Height fog hides everything below the cut plane. |
| 3.20–3.90 | Settle | A soft contact shadow forms on the fog beneath the head. The head begins its idle: a 7 s breath (±0.4 % scale) and a 2° pointer-follow with 600 ms lag. Nothing else on screen yet. | Shadow radius 0→1 over 700 ms. Idle loops start. |
| 3.90–5.00 | Lockup | FREE YOUR MIND fades in beneath the head, letters widely tracked (+0.30 em) and drifting inward to +0.06 em — the letters come together as the mind did. 250 ms later the mono line types in under it at 40 characters per second with a block cursor: // ets27 . may 3–6 2027 . austin tx |
Display XL, weight 200. The mono line is real text from frame 0 for screen readers; only the visual reveal is animated. |
| 5.00–5.90 | Doors | The two doors materialize side by side below the lockup: from 8 px blur / 0.96 scale / 12 px low, to crisp, 120 ms apart. Their one-line explainers follow 160 ms later. The mono eyebrow // two ways in sits above them. |
Materialize grammar from §4 (480 ms, --ease-settle). Focus is moved to the first door for keyboard users at 5.9 s (not before — the animation never traps focus). |
| 5.90–10.00 | Hold | The scene idles. Clouds drift, the head breathes, the cursor blinks. The sockets turn 2° toward the pointer. If a visitor starts typing, the second door opens with their words already in the composer (§3). | No auto-advance, ever. |
| 10.00 | Nudge | A single quiet line fades in under the doors in the persona voice: > pick a door, or just start typing. |
Once per session. Never a modal, never a sound. |
Camera: eye level at the fog line, 24° vertical field of view, pitched 4° upward, so the cranium rises like a sun over a white sea. Key light from upper-left; no specular highlight anywhere (a highlight reads as plastic; matte reads as mind).
Compressed return-visitor intro (1.4 s): white → head already resolved, rising only 3 % → lockup and doors together. If a door was remembered (§3), skip the fork entirely and show the one-line switcher of that route.
Criteria: instant comprehension for a mixed utility-industry audience (many first-time visitors on a phone, arriving from a LinkedIn post), fidelity to the theme, zero pastiche, works as a two-to-three-word button, reads correctly without the explainer, accessible as a plain link name.
| System | Door A (standard) | Door B (interactive) | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|
| Operator / Construct | "Operator" | "Construct" | On-lineage but opaque; "Operator" means nothing to a first-time visitor and "Construct" is a film prop in disguise — exactly the pastiche we are avoiding. Fails comprehension. |
| Map / Mind | "Open the map" | "Ask the mind" | Both verbs are plain; the nouns are the theme and the site's own model. A visitor who never heard of ETS understands it, and the pair stays short on a phone. The mind is also the name the persona can carry (§10). |
| Show me around / I know what I want | "I know what I want" | "Show me around" | Friendly, but the mapping inverts in the reader's head: someone who knows what they want would rather ask for it than browse. Ambiguous → fails. |
Pick: Map / Mind.
Eyebrow (mono-m, gray-700): // two ways in
Door A
- Label (h2, weight 400): Open the map
- Explainer (body, gray-700): Everything laid out — agenda, lineup, venue, tickets.
- Corner tag (mono-s, appears on hover/focus): [ browse ]
- Link name for assistive tech: "Open the map: the full site with pages and navigation"
Door B
- Label (h2, weight 400): Ask the mind
- Explainer (body, gray-700): Say what you came for. Only that appears.
- Corner tag (mono-s, appears on hover/focus): [ ask ]
- Link name for assistive tech: "Ask the mind: a conversational guide that shows only what you ask for"
Under both doors (mono-s, gray-500): // you can switch any time.

The doors are the only rectangles in the scene.ink over 160 ms; explainer gray-700→ink; the corner tag fades in. Door B additionally: a 1 px signal hairline grows along the top edge from the left (240 ms), and the head's sockets gain a faint signal glow at 8 % opacity — the mind notices. Door A does not touch the head.signal ring, 4 px offset, square corners; same corner tag as hover. Tab order: map, then mind (the conventional choice first).1 and 2 are shortcuts; / opens door B with the composer focused.Both routes carry a quiet switcher in the same place (top-right, mono-s): in the interactive route [ open the map ], in the standard route [ ask the mind ] is the dock itself (§5.5), and [ change entrance ] lives in the footer of both. Switching keeps context: a visitor who was looking at the day-2 agenda in the mind lands on /agenda/#day-2 in the map, and vice versa.
Principle: the mind chooses from a kit; it never draws freehand. The answer is the UI; the text is its caption. Every component in the catalog has one designed way to arrive, live, recede and leave. The implementation family this grammar is designed for is the declarative-tree-from-an-allow-listed-catalog model (A2UI, AG-UI, MCP Apps, Open-JSON-UI are the public shapes of it; the architecture document picks one). The design does not depend on which.
The white realm persists. After the door, the head drifts to the upper-left over 800 ms and settles at 38 % of its opening scale, cut plane just above the wordmark line — a presence, not a subject. Clouds slow to half speed. Three depth layers, back to front:
--ease-settle): from blur 8 px, scale 0.96, opacity 0, translateY +12 px → crisp, 1.0, 1, 0. Children stagger 40 ms, capped at 12 children; later children arrive together.signal element at most per component (the live/now marker, a selected chip, the primary action).--ease-out-soft): blur 12 px, opacity 0, translateY −8 px — things float up and dissolve, never slide sideways and never shrink to a point.> prompt at left, growing to four lines. Placeholder rotates between three on-theme prompts: who's speaking on tuesday, where is it, what does a ticket cost. Send is Enter; Shift-Enter newlines; a mono [ send ] sits at the right for touch.14:02 day 2 · speakers). Clicking a step re-materializes that answer at the front. On phones the rail becomes a swipe-down sheet (§8).gray-500 line, e.g. // source: agenda v3 · updated oct 12.

Top-right, mono-s, always present, never a modal: [ open the map ]. It deep-links to the page equivalent of the current component (SpeakerGrid → /lineup/, AgendaDay → /agenda/#day-n, VenueCard → /venue/, TicketTiers → /register/), otherwise to the home. The transition is the standard route materializing around the current component where possible (§7), so nothing is lost.

The page is white; the only tone is in images and the one accent.

Pages: Home, Lineup, Agenda, Venue (hotel and venue), Partners, Gallery, About (incl. past summits ETS25/26), Contact, Register. Each page is built from the same component catalog as §4.5, so the mind can act on it (§5.6). The lineup and agenda are first-party components fed by structured data, not a Whova iframe — this is a prerequisite, see §11.
Footer: a black band is the one dark moment on the site and the one place the ETS26 world is allowed to show: #000 background, the subscribe field in mono with a > prompt, the countdown as a single mono line (// 201 days . 14:02:07) instead of four big zeros, the link row (Speak · Sponsor · Partners · Gallery · Contact · LoFi), and © 2027 Zpryme.

The ratio below h1 is a perfect fourth (1.333); above it the steps are deliberate jumps (h1 → display-xl is ~3×). Weights are used at their extremes — 200/300 against 900 — never 400 against 600.

Retired for ETS27: the aqua #53EBE4 (1.5:1 on white — unusable in the light) and the phosphor amber/green of the merch (they belong to the black world; they may return on ETS27 merch, not on the site). Considered and rejected for the accent: a hyperlink blue (#1D4DFF, 5.9:1) — it would have been new rather than inherited, and the brand already owns a colour that passes.
Head shading range: white down to #8C8C88 in the deepest socket; the contact shadow peaks at 12 % black. Nothing on the site is black except type, the wordmark and the footer.
The // idiom is kept and formalized: // tag for labels, eyebrows and chips; [ verb ] for small actions and switchers; :: only inside the footer prompt; > for the composer and the persona's own lines; lowercase in all mono except nav links. Title tag: ETS27 | free_your_mind [OPEN] (the [INITIATE] slot from ETS26, with the verb the realm asks for).
--ease-settle: cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.8, 0.2, 1); --ease-out-soft: cubic-bezier(0.16, 1, 0.3, 1).prefers-reduced-motion: reduce)No drift, no breath, no pointer-follow, no blur transitions, no typing effect. The intro collapses to a single 400 ms opacity fade with the head already resolved; the doors are present from the first frame. Materialize/leave become 160 ms opacity-only. The streaming skeleton becomes a static hairline outline.
The hero swaps to a still: the head rendered offline from the same shader at 2× (AVIF with PNG fallback, one desktop crop and one phone crop) over CSS cloud layers (two tiled noise textures, mix-blend-mode: multiply, a 60 s CSS translate loop at 2 px/s). The pointer-follow and socket glow are dropped. Decision at runtime: no WebGL2 context, or a frame-time probe averaging > 24 ms over the first 20 frames, or Save-Data on → still. No flash: the still is the poster under the canvas from frame 0.
The home is a static hero (the still), the lockup, the mono line and two plain anchors styled as the doors: Open the map → /home/ and Ask the mind → /ask/ (which, without JS, renders a plain explanation and the same links). The standard site is server-rendered and fully usable: nav, pages, footer, forms. The dock is absent. The interactive route needs JS by nature and says so in one mono line.
Opening: the head occupies the upper 45 % of the viewport with the cut plane at 55 %; lockup and doors stack below in the lower half; the intro compresses to 3.2 s (the condense beat halves), with tap-anywhere skip. Device pixel ratio capped at 1.5, 48 march steps, 30 fps throttle, and the frame-time probe above falls back to the still on weak GPUs or battery saver.
Fork: two full-width stacked cards, minimum 64 px tall, map above mind, 12 px apart; explainers stay; corner tags are shown always (no hover on touch). Typing-opens-door-B still applies when a hardware keyboard is present; otherwise the composer appears only inside door B.
Interactive route: the head shrinks into the top bar as the 24 px glyph (the mind is still present); the composer sits above the keyboard using the visual viewport, chips scroll horizontally under the caption, components fill the width with 16 px gutters, grids go to two columns, agenda rails to a single column with sticky day chips. The thread rail becomes a swipe-down sheet from the top bar listing the steps. The escape [ open the map ] stays top-right.
Standard route: [ menu ] sheet as in §5.2; hero at 72 vh with the head behind the lockup at 60 % scale and the copy on a white gradient; the dock is a bottom pill above the safe area and opens as the 70 % sheet; merged answers (filter and reveal) show on the page behind the sheet, which can be dragged down to see them.
| Option | For | Against |
|---|---|---|
| GLSL SDF raymarch (one full-screen quad, fragment shader) | No asset pipeline; resolution-independent; the "resolve from cloud" is a one-uniform domain warp; blank sockets and the cut plane are set operations; matte shading, ambient occlusion and soft shadows are native; the head and the fog share one lighting model; the still fallback is the same shader rendered offline; ~6 KB of code | Needs a careful step budget on phones; sculpting is done in numbers, not in a modelling tool; ears/hair-free design is a feature here, a limit elsewhere |
| GLB model (sculpted mesh, three.js) | Art-directable in Blender; standard PBR | A 1–3 MB download before the first frame; a mesh looks like a mesh (triangle silhouettes on a white ground are unforgiving); the resolve effect needs vertex displacement plus a separate volumetric for the fog; two systems to keep consistent |
| Procedural mesh (parametric cranium built at runtime, three.js) | No download; tweakable | Harder to make beautiful than an SDF, same silhouette problem, no free occlusion |
Recommendation: the SDF raymarch. It is the only option where the head, the fog, the resolve and the fallback still are one system, and a white object in a white world is drawn entirely by occlusion and soft shadow, which the raymarcher gives for free.
Smooth-union k values are in head units. Proportions follow standard adult anthropometry (head width ≈ 0.80 of height), ears and hair omitted (mannequin), features below the nasion removed.
Resolve: domain warp p += uResolve * 0.12 * fbm(p * 3 + t) applied before evaluation, uResolve 1 → 0 over the condense beat. Shading: Lambert from a key at (−0.5, 1.0, 0.6), 5-tap ambient occlusion, 16-step soft shadow, a 6 % Fresnel darkening at grazing angles so the silhouette separates from the sky, no specular. Camera: eye at y 0.44, 2.6 units back, 24° vertical FOV, 4° pitch up. Budget: 64 steps desktop at full DPR up to 2, 48 steps at DPR ≤ 1.5 on phones, half-resolution render upscaled when the probe says so.
| Option | For | Against |
|---|---|---|
| Raymarched FBM volumetrics | True scattering around the head; the most beautiful version | 2–4 ms on a desktop GPU, 10 ms+ on phones; competes with the head's step budget; hard to keep deterministic across devices |
| Layered noise planes (4 tiling 2D FBM planes at depths with parallax, plus a "sea" plane at the cut height and the head shader's own height fog) | Cheap everywhere (2D noise, no marching); deterministic; drift and pointer parallax are trivial; degrades to CSS textures for the no-WebGL still | Flat if overdone; needs the height fog in the head shader to sell the "sinking" |
Recommendation: layered planes everywhere, with the head shader's height fog doing the sinking. Plane depths z −1 / −2.5 / −4.5 / −7, parallax 1.0 / 0.6 / 0.35 / 0.2, drift 6 / 4 / 2.5 / 1.5 px/s, 4 noise octaves, tones between fog-1 and fog-3, pointer parallax ±8 px on the nearest plane only. The raymarched volumetric is an optional desktop-only upgrade tier behind the same frame-time probe, if the budget allows after the head is right.
