nu.glass — quantum × Liquid Glass

Decided 15 October 2026. Shown as nu.glass. Host: design.quantumglass.khensu.nu (display design.quantumGlass.khensu.nu). Code, paths and data keys stay nu.glass / quantumglass.

A design collab between Apple Liquid Glass (iOS / SwiftUI translucent chrome, Menu, Menu beyond a button list) and khėnsu.ñü — but the material is not a solid frosted sheet.

1. the material: clear number-light bubble explosion

Surfaces use the clear version of the creators / nu.Fi / nu.bi Burst scene — the number-light bubble explosion in components/creators/Burst.astro + scripts/burst.ts. Soft luminous orbs, additive aura cores (#22f59a / #1e8fff / #8b5cff), soap-bubble rims, almost-nothing fill. You see through the chrome; light does the work.

That language is part of nu.aura: fashion and design styles (not only the First Attempt track control or the flowing gradient). Aura = how light dresses the product.

Layer	Source	What we keep
Liquid Glass	iOS materials	Translucency, Menu shape, soft elevation — clear, not milky slab
Quantum	khėnsu.ñü	Depth, field motion, post-quantum truth in copy
nu.aura	Burst + fashion	Light-bubble explosion, aura cores/glows, flowing spectrum on selected chrome

2. tokens (code)

/* Clear bubble — barely there film */
--nu-glass: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.04);
--nu-glass-strong: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.07);
/* Aura fashion (burst.ts) */
--aura-glow-g / -b / -p
--aura-core-g / -b / -p

Never replace aura with a flat brand purple. Never paint a solid dark sheet and call it glass.

3. patterns

Clear bubble card — floating mini player: soft ellipse highlights, aura rim glow, see-through body.
Menu — SwiftUI Menu shape with clear bubble panel (not opaque #12141a).
Selected chrome — var(--aura) flow on progress / play / picks.
Burst kinship — same particle glow family as the number scene; chrome is the quiet cousin of that explosion.

4. where it ships

Spec: this file · live: design.quantumglass.khensu.nu (apex /design-quantumglass until Hover A + own cert).
First consumer: nu.waves floating player + room Menu.
Skills hosts stay separate (skills.agent.harness, skills.agent.weeklyupdates).
