Overview
template_storybook demonstrates a public, standalone picture-book workflow in
the research template repository. The bundled project renders a deterministic
fourteen-page storybook subtitled A geometric fable of belonging, bracing, and
reciprocal form: a clear cover, a publication-and-acknowledgements page, and
twelve story pages in which a child tetrahedron raised by cubes meets a child
cube raised by tetrahedra. The story uses a large reciprocal symbol, a
tetrahedron-inside-cube stability spread, a shadow-projection lesson, a
tensegrity lantern, and a vector garden to frame belonging without sameness:
square and triangle families remain distinct while the space between them
becomes navigable.
The project separates story data, rendering logic, and orchestration. Story
text, characters, page order, palettes, and overlay choices live in
content/story.yaml; character generation and illustration live in
src/storybook/; one script renders the cover, each page script renders a
numbered page, and a final script assembles the PDF. This makes the exemplar a
forkable pattern for full-page creative artifacts rather than standard
manuscript-centered figure generation.

Methods
- Storybook PDF generated from a public research-template repository — The illustrated storybook is presented as a template exemplar produced by a research-template repository, with story and images labeled as illustrative fiction.
- Geometric fable drawing on Fuller's Synergetics (tetrahedron in cube) — The narrative uses geometric motifs (a tetrahedron bracing a cube, tensegrity lantern, vector garden) acknowledged as drawn from Fuller's Synergetics.
