01 / The premise

One document.
Two renderers.

The page remains ordinary HTML: readable, searchable and fully interactive. A transparent GPU canvas sits above it, measures selected elements and turns those rectangles into responsive surfaces.

02 / The moving layer

A layout you can bend.

Layout truth

The browser keeps every rectangle honest.

DOM fallback

03 / The contract

Meaning below.
Light above.

DOM owns meaning

Layout, links, focus, forms and screen-reader order stay in the document.

GPU owns pixels

Mirrored media receives ripple, curvature and chromatic separation without stealing input.

Failure stays quiet

Every original surface remains ready beneath the canvas when graphics are unavailable.

Canvas is decoration.
The document is the product.
