04LAB EXPERIMENT
EXP_006 /MOTION SYSTEMS PROTOTYPE.
THESIS. Motion needs a system like color and type do. A small set of named durations and curves can cover every transition without anything feeling arbitrary.
STATUSRUNNING
01METHOD / OBJECTIVE
- Audit every transition in the product.
- Collapse them into named duration and easing tokens.
- Rebuild screens with tokens only and compare.

04LAB LOG
- 03.11.2510:00Transition audit started.
- 03.11.2512:4438 unique values found.
- 04.11.2509:21Token set v1 drafted.
- 04.11.2515:09Screens rebuilt on tokens.
- 05.11.2511:52Reduced-motion variants complete.
05FINDINGS
- 01Seven tokens cover every transition in the audit.
- 02Named curves end debates faster than shared timings.
- 03Interruptible motion matters more than smooth motion.
- 04Reduced-motion variants are easier when motion is tokenised.
