Figure numbers, measurements, dates and DOIs.

Six type sizes, one accent colour (a deep vermilion that also draws the signal trace), warm paper and carbon ink, and a dark instrument surface for the central experiment. Every text colour meets WCAG AA contrast in both light and dark themes.

02Figures

Provenance of every figure

Figures are numbered once across the whole site. Schematics are labelled as such; recorded data appear only when the recordings themselves are published here.
