Pete's words: "tower code is our primal representation, custom tower code builds, themes and skins from
vistamations $799". It is the house's own language, and it is a code in the ordinary sense — readable,
decodable, repeatable — carried by four things and nothing else:
symbols the organs: the heart that keeps time, the chambers, the valves, the stone tablet
motifs what recurs: circulation, sealing, doubling, the unedited tablet, the same wound twice
flags what signals: a pulse with no gap, a long pause, a vessel answering nothing
positions where a thing sits, which is itself a statement
The key to the code is served with it, and it contains no secret: http://localhost:3406/code-key-tower-secretary.
Its one absolute rule — no pin-key, PIN, digit or recovery answer ever appears in a card, a dossier, a page or a
message; only the encrypted form reaches the build's own fixture.
home Tower Garden game — Vault Edition
docker01-sandbox-dojo-base-model/tower-garden/vault-edition-v2
structure 4 pin-keys, each cut with 4 notches/positions
4 x 4 = 16 = 4 squared cards, 16 digits
one card with an image per position
a group the four positions of one key-pin
mapping the third pin-key opens group 4 (stated by Pete, not inferred)
naming card <group><position> — 4a = group four, first position

Encoding is not encryption. The first three are riddles — right for a card puzzle, useless as a lock. The last
two need a key, and a short key is broken by hand. None of them makes a pin-key safe if the ciphertext escapes,
which is exactly why no key value is written anywhere.

| build the deck, wire 4a | madeline | position it, reference the image, prove no digit in page or logs, state the read behaviour |
| art and skins | stef | the rest of the medieval range, and any further card images |
| sign-off | cody | rules on the built deck before it moves |

1. the other three key→group pairs — unknown, and recorded as unknown;
2. cards 4b, 4c, 4d — awaiting Pete's images;
3. does 4a take the "tower" subject of the four named subjects, or a subject of its own — the builder's call
with Pete, not mine to infer;
4. encrypted key handling into the build fixture — Pete's instruction decides the route, and it never passes
through a record;
5. the dinosaur and South Australia cards stay restricted: their subjects are the real recovery questions, so
their artwork is not for the shared reference, a public page or a deployment.
No card is wired into the game, the deck is not playable, and no image beyond 4a exists. The key page, the
cipher tool and this report are real and served; everything else is either Pete's to make or Madeline's to build.
No secret appears in any of the three: the key's presence is recorded, never its value.
