   Hotbox University — Marketing site (index.html, legal.html)
   Depends on tokens, base, components. Order mirrors index.html.
   The page is a sequence of scenes in one world: midnight scenes (the hero,
   the system, the price, the close) lit by the LED and an aurora, and fog
   scenes (the reading sections) on cool off-white. The statement prints out
   of the machine at the top; the tape of real numbers runs under it.
