QEC-1P BENCH PROTOTYPEFOUR KEYS / FOUR PIXELS / ONE PROTOCOL

FIRST PHYSICAL MILESTONE / BUILD BEFORE PANEL

Prove the machine small.

QEC-1P is the reduced electrical and protocol proof for QEC-1. Four physical keys enter אור and STEP; four pixels expose node, path, register, and link/fault state. It proves the part that must work before any 600 × 420 mm panel is cut.

BROWSER BENCH CONSOLE

Generate evidence, not impressions.

Simulation proves the published protocol logic in any modern browser. Live proof uses Web Serial in a supported Chromium browser to negotiate with the Pico, apply the active Console run (or the three-state אור default), reject excess brightness, and observe the watchdog fault.

Electrical boundary: The Pico is powered by USB. The four-pixel rail uses a separate fused 5 V supply. Their grounds meet at the 74AHCT125 logic-shifter point; their positive rails never meet. No mains voltage enters the prototype.

WHAT THIS PROVES

A gate before fabrication.

The prototype does not imitate the full panel. It retires five specific risks: low-voltage power, 3.3 V-to-5 V data translation, physical key debounce, bounded serial frames, and fail-closed behavior.

Physical

Real switches and pixels respond through the same controller family selected for QEC-1.

Canonical

The host remains authoritative for state; the panel only displays validated projections.

Mystical meaning

אור, light, becomes the acceptance program: frame, connection, and manifestation made observable.
