Plexus Hero as a Cognitive Symbol

A lightweight, optional 3D plexus can signal 'living system' without turning the site into a demo reel.

Rationale & Context

Motion should be meaning, not decoration. The hero can be an identity cue if it remains restrained and optional.

Constraints & Non-Goals

  • Respect reduced motion.
  • Lazy-load.
  • Fallback poster for mobile.

Feasibility Gradient

Ship static hero → add optional plexus island → measure perf → iterate on weight and restraint.

Next Actions

  1. Design the static hero first.
  2. Add a reduced-motion fallback.
  3. Define a hard performance budget.

Restricted Layer

Perf budgets, implementation patterns, and fallback assets.
