NERV Operations Console v2 — Evangelion-inspired UI component library. Data-driven Three.js MAGI visualization (yield surface mesh + organic flow curves + bar columns), blockchain event log terminal, dense metrics grid, vault cards, oracle consensus display, CRT effects, emergency mode. Noto Serif Display (weight 900) + Shippori Mincho B1 + JetBrains Mono. NO HELVETICA. Every pixel conveys information.

NERV UI v2 — Operations Console Component Library

Build web interfaces that feel like NERV designed them. Dense, data-driven, clinical. Every visual element references real data — no decorative waste.

The screen is off until data demands it. Black void is the default state.

Live Demo: https://woody-cairn-ztqf.here.now/ Source: ~/clawd/nerv-ui/index.html v1 Docs: See SKILL-v1.md for the original component library (Cormorant Garamond, hex grids, command blocks)

What's New in v2

v1	v2
Cormorant Garamond (max 700)	Noto Serif Display (up to 900) — much heavier
Decorative 3D wireframes	Data-driven MAGI visualization (yield surface + flow curves)
Generic icosphere globe	Animated terrain mesh with numbered vertices + organic curves
No event stream	Blockchain event log — scrolling terminal with typed events
Moderate density	Maximum density — every panel shows real protocol data
3 vaults (alETH/alUSD/alBTC)	2 vaults (alETH/alUSD) — matches current V3 scope
Hex grid scanner	Cut — replaced with MYT strategy performance table
Command block / ID block	Cut — decorative, replaced with data-driven metrics

Quick Start

Drop-in Stylesheet

<link rel="stylesheet" href="nerv-ui.css">

Contains all design tokens, CRT effects, and component classes. 808 lines, zero dependencies (except fonts).

Required Fonts

<link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Noto+Serif+Display:wght@700;800;900&family=JetBrains+Mono:wght@400;500;700&family=Saira+Extra+Condensed:wght@400;600;700;800&family=Shippori+Mincho+B1:wght@500;700;800&display=swap" rel="stylesheet">

CRT Effects (standalone)

Just want the CRT look? Use components/crt-effects.css — scanlines, vignette, phosphor flicker, moving scan line. Add <div class="scan-line-overlay"></div> to your body.

Core Principles

1. The void is the default. Elements emerge from true black (#000), not a surface.
2. Color = function. Orange for labels/headers, green for nominal data, cyan for wireframes, red for alerts only.
3. Every visual conveys data. 3D scenes reference real metrics. No decorative wireframes.
4. Density = authority. More data per pixel = more credible.
5. Mechanical compression. Text squeezed via scaleX(0.78-0.85). Signature EVA look.
6. Bilingual is institutional. Japanese text = the org operates in Japanese. Not decoration.
7. CRT texture is always present. Scanlines, vignette, phosphor flicker.

Typography — NO HELVETICA

:root {
  /* Heavy display serif (EVA English titles) — weight 900, mechanically compressed */
  --font-title:  'Noto Serif Display', 'Times New Roman', serif;
  
  /* Japanese institutional (Matisse EB equivalent) */
  --font-mincho: 'Shippori Mincho B1', 'YuMincho', serif;
  
  /* Terminal/data readouts */
  --font-sys:    'JetBrains Mono', 'Cascadia Mono', monospace;
  
  /* WARNING stamps, emergency banners */
  --font-stamp:  'Saira Extra Condensed', 'Impact', sans-serif;
}

Mechanical compression (signature EVA):

.compressed-title {
  font-family: var(--font-title);
  font-weight: 900;
  transform: scaleX(0.82);
  transform-origin: left center;
  letter-spacing: 0.2em;
  text-transform: uppercase;
}

Components

Event Log Terminal

Scrolling blockchain event feed. Color-coded by type (DEPOSIT=green, BORROW=cyan, HARVEST=orange, REPAY=dim green, REDEEM=yellow, MINT=magenta). Shows timestamp, type, address/detail, amount, block number.

Demo: components/event-log.html

<div class="event-log">
  <div class="el-header">
    <span>Blockchain Event Log</span>
    <span class="el-count">42 events</span>
  </div>
  <div class="el-body" id="logBody">
    <div class="ev">
      <span class="ev-time">12:04:22</span>
      <span class="ev-type deposit">DEPOSIT</span>
      <span class="ev-detail">0x7f2a…4c3b → alETH Vault</span>
      <span class="ev-amount">142.5 ETH</span>
      <span class="ev-block">#19284721</span>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

Vault Card

EVA Unit-style status card for protocol vaults. Compressed serif title + Japanese katakana name + key-value stat rows.

Demo: components/vault-card.html

<div class="panel">
  <div class="panel-header">
    <span>Unit-00 — alETH</span>
    <span class="tag"><span class="led green"></span>Operational</span>
  </div>
  <div class="vault-card">
    <div class="vc-id">Primary — Ethereum</div>
    <div class="vc-name">自己返済型ＥＴＨ</div>
    <div class="vc-row"><span class="lbl">TVL</span><span class="val">$142.8M</span></div>
    <!-- ... more rows ... -->
  </div>
</div>

MAGI Oracle Consensus

Three-source oracle display (Chainlink, Uniswap TWAP, Internal) with price, data freshness, and agreement status. Updates in real-time.

Demo: components/magi-oracle.html

Metrics Grid

Dense 2×N grid of key protocol numbers. Uses the .highlight modifier for important values and .zero for the always-zero liquidation counter.

Demo: components/metrics-grid.html

Data Tables

NERV-styled tables for strategy performance and transmuter status. Orange headers, green data, hover highlighting, progress bars for utilization.

Demo: components/data-table.html

3D MAGI Data Analysis (Three.js)

The hero visualization. Requires Three.js via CDN importmap. Elements:

• Cyan wireframe mesh — undulating yield surface with numbered vertex labels
• Orange organic curves — 30 flow lines rising from mesh, independently swaying
• Glowing tip dots — pulsing orange spheres at curve endpoints
• Flanking bar columns — orange metric bars on left/right with wireframe outlines
• Green background particles — depth-adding scattered points
• Slow camera orbit

See demo.html Three.js module for full implementation (~200 lines).

Emergency Mode

Toggle via data-mode="emergency" on <html>:

document.documentElement.dataset.mode = 'emergency';

Transforms: all green→red, cyan→red, scan line speeds up, emergency overlay appears, MAGI goes into conflict state.

Anti-Patterns

❌ Don't	✅ Do
Gray/navy backgrounds	True black (#000)
Helvetica anywhere	Use the specified font stack
Decorative 3D wireframes	Data-driven visualizations
Smooth gradients	Hard boundaries, stepped blocks
Rounded corners	Sharp corners (except LEDs)
Light mode	This aesthetic has no light mode
Decorative Japanese	Real institutional terms only
Low density layouts	Pack data — density = authority
Static numbers	Live-updating from shared data model

Accessibility

All color combinations pass WCAG AA:

• Orange #FF9830 on black: 8.2:1 ✅
• Green #50FF50 on black: 13.8:1 ✅
• Cyan #20F0FF on black: 13.1:1 ✅
• Red #FF3030 on black: 5.9:1 ✅

@media (prefers-reduced-motion: reduce) {
  body, .scan-line-overlay, [data-mode="emergency"] * {
    animation: none !important;
  }
