The Foundational Document Set

FOUNDATIONAL
DOCUMENTS

Ten documents establishing Computational Reflective Imaging as a medium — its science, its IP, its story, and its opportunity.

The Foundational Document Set is the complete written record of Flective's first principles. These documents were developed through a multi-AI review process and represent the canonical technical, philosophical, and strategic foundation of the medium. Full versions are available to FIAT LUX founding members.

01
The Medium
Defines Computational Reflective Imaging as a category — distinct from screens, prints, holograms, and smart materials. The foundational claim.
Available to founders
02
The Science
The physics of ambient light encoding. Mirror pixel geometry, light field theory, viewer-position dependency, and the five conditions for image formation.
Available to founders
03
The IP
A detailed analysis of the seven-patent portfolio — its layered architecture, priority dates, claim scope, and relationship to the emerging fabrication landscape.
Available to founders
04
The Story
The origin and development of CRI — from first principles in 2009 through the current fabrication-readiness moment. The history of the technology and its inventor.
Available to founders
05
The Opportunity
The convergence of IP window and fabrication readiness. Market positioning, application domains, and the case for moving now rather than later.
Available to founders
06
The Program
The FIAT LUX founding program — its structure, its tiers, what membership means, and how the first 100 founding members help constitute the medium.
See fiat-lux page
07
The Vision
Long-range applications across fine art, architecture, wayfinding, aviation, advertising, and interactive installation. The full vocabulary of the medium.
Available to founders
08
The Market
Competitive landscape, addressable markets, and the positioning of CRI against adjacent technologies and display categories.
Available to founders
09
The Ask
The investment case — structured for the FIAT LUX founding moment. Rationale, use of proceeds, and the strategic logic of the founding-member model.
Available to founders
10
The Lexicon
Canonical terminology for Computational Reflective Imaging — the defined vocabulary of the medium, its components, and its effects. Full version at /lexicon.
