# Materialized Enhancements

> Materialized Enhancements is an art and synthetic-biology web app that turns selected human genetic enhancement ideas into a generative printable crystal (an abstract form from gene choices; a full-body figure is on the roadmap).

## Canonical Site

- Site: https://enhancement.bio
- Repository: https://github.com/longevity-genie/materialized-enhancements
- Data source: `data/enhancement.db` (SQLite) loaded by `materialized_enhancements.gene_data`

## Public Pages

- [Character Profile](https://enhancement.bio/): Build your post-human character from real genes - tardigrade radiation shields, naked-mole-rat cancer resistance, axolotl regeneration - backed by scientific evidence tiers and real citations, and 3D-print the result.
- [Materialization](https://enhancement.bio/materialization): Materialize your genetic enhancement profile into a unique printable crystal, shareable report card, and personal enhancement dossier. A full-body 3D figure is on the roadmap - today the souvenir is this abstract crystal.
- [About Materialized Enhancements](https://enhancement.bio/about): RPG-style character creator for speculative human enhancement. Learn real genetics in a playful way, by the GlucoseDAO and Longevity Genie team.
- [Enhancement Knowledgebase](https://enhancement.bio/knowledgebase): The world's most comprehensive open knowledgebase on genetic enhancement - curated genes across species, experimental and clinical evidence, and the labs and clinics building them. Searchable, version-controlled, and open source.

## Crawl Guidance

- Crawl the public pages listed above for the same default content visible to visitors.
- The app is a Reflex site with SSR/prerendering enabled; route HTML contains the default visitor-facing text before websocket hydration.
- The Character Profile page is the primary entry point: it exposes the RPG-style gene loadout builder and the current gene library.
- The Materialization page explains the generated printable crystal / report flow; visitor-specific report links use `/materialization?report=1&name=<base64-url-name>&cats=<category-bitmask>` and regenerate sculpture state client-side.
- Internal Reflex websocket paths such as `/_event/` are not document pages and should not be indexed.

## Biological Dataset

- 136 enhancement genes
- 6 enhancement categories
- 72 normalized source organisms
- Example genes: Acomys regen. program, PvACR3, AFP / AFGP, ALDH3A2, ANGPTL3, APOC3, APOE, AQP1

## Enhancement Categories

- Regeneration: 16 genes
- Environmental Adaptation: 20 genes
- Expression: 17 genes
- Longevity & Genome: 44 genes
- Stress Resistance: 23 genes
- Perception: 16 genes

## Project Summary

Visitors assemble a character-like profile from real genes found in humans, animals, microbes, and extremophiles. The app maps those biological choices and a personal tag into deterministic sculpture parameters, then provides a printable crystal (abstract form - full-body figure is roadmap), shareable report, PNG/PDF exports, and optional ARTEX publishing.

## Technology Notes

- Frontend framework: Reflex with prerendering enabled via `REFLEX_SSR=true`.
- Styling: Fomantic UI with a dark RPG-style public flow.
- Runtime data: the gene library is loaded from local CSV inputs, then summarized into categories, organisms, and gene cards at import time.
