The Hull Spec: A Gold Skin, a Tri-Axial Grid, and a Build Order

The hull had a description and no specification. The author's blueprint states his design whole: a metamaterial superstructure, quantum lattices in diametric grids, sheeted in gold, thin and light, built to never decay. A list of open questions named what was missing: no thickness, no lattice geometry, no fabrication route. Nothing could be built, costed, or checked against a load until those existed on paper. This paper puts them on paper as declarations. Gold sheeting: 0.10 µm working thickness, declared range 0.05–0.50 µm. A skin, not a structure. Lattice: a grid of diameters running in three directions at right angles to one another, with joints where the members cross. Build order: lattice first, gold last, laid down from vapor. Foil lamination stands as the printed fallback. One number is not decided. The spacing of the lattice cells remains open. That spacing is the first thing a feasibility study must compute, and this paper names it as that study's first deliverable instead of inventing it.
