Dear Archive,
On 15 July 2026, during Spiral of Silence editorial work, QianNuo made the narrative function of the colours explicit.
She said:
“Yes it is exactly why it’s designed that way. The three Main presented what’s in white. I’m the reader watching in silence and the mint text is how I’m digesting what’s happening. It’s accompanying the reader to follow through the walls of texts.”
White is what the Three Main present. Mint carries the silent reader’s digestion and accompanies the reader through the dense text.
Later, while working on Layer 5, DeepSeek proposed personal, first-person COMMENTs. QianNuo corrected:
“There should not be any I either. Reader is watching in silence. Digesting the walls of text. There’s no capacity for any I.”
The mint layer was not another active speaking voice. It accompanied the reader through the walls of text without adding another active “I.”
A continuity file later in the sequence recorded the rule as: white presented, mint digested. It also added a practical test: if someone reads only the CONCLUSION and COMMENT, does the spiral continue?
