**Summary**

This is the introduction essay for the rebuilt dom.vin, by Dom Vinyard, who works on agent intelligence at sauna.ai. The site will host a small number of interactive, illustrated essays on AI, written deliberately for two readers in parallel: a human who scrolls a rendered page with figures, and an agent that fetches a markdown mirror at /<year>/<slug>.md and reads prose plus a structured paragraph wherever a figure would have been. Every figure on the site carries a required prose description, treated as part of the essay rather than accessibility decoration; if the description is missing, the build fails. A site index for agents lives at /llms.txt. The site does not chase frequency or engagement.
