The whitepaper had grown to about 24,000 words. Draft 10 keeps the paper short (the problem, the idea, how a ticket works, the lottery, many sellers, paying over HTTP, what it costs, prior art, status) and moves the detail to four pages beside it:

  • /stream/design/: design details, full prior art and the full reference list
  • /stream/tests/: tests run, numbers and the film demo
  • /stream/progress/: what is built and not built, packages, limits, the earlier design
  • /stream/uses/: uses, each marked built or only conceived

Old section anchors on the main page still resolve, pointing to where each section now lives. Only files under cloudflare/map-site/public/stream/ change.

The whitepaper had grown to some 24,000 words. It is now the idea alone:
the problem, a ticket, the lottery, many sellers, HTTP and agents, the
costs, a short prior art, the status, and the credits. The rest moved,
mostly word for word, to four pages beside it:

- design/: tickets in detail, slots, dust and fee rates, the lottery's
  two forms, how a session comes together, the costs stated plainly,
  prior art and the full reference list
- tests/: every measurement, what it ran on and what it does not show,
  the film demo, and the evidence anyone can check
- progress/: status and limits, built and not built, the packages, the
  earlier design and the changes by draft
- uses/: what it is for, each use marked built, demo, designed or only
  conceived, with paying over HTTP, checked content and the agent wallet

Anchors of the old single page still land: sections that moved keep their
ids on the main page as links to their new place. Nothing in the design
or the code changed.
