Appendix Index
The appendices are organised into nine lettered clusters (Appendix A to I), ordered from theory and exposition through to data. Each cluster gathers the distinct appendices that share a theme; within a cluster the appendices are numbered (A.1, A.2, …) and each can be read on its own. The interactive HTML artefacts are catalogued in the section that follows.

Interactive HTML artefacts
Interactive HTML artefacts complement the static figures and data appendices with browser-based exploration surfaces. Each entry below is a labelled inventory record giving the artefact’s named title, a one-line descriptor, its chapter binding, the SHA-256 integrity hash recorded for the deposited file, and the static-image fallback to which the figure callout resolves when an examiner reads the printed thesis. All interactive artefacts are deposited in the thesis data package; the static fallbacks below allow each to be read without the interactive surface.
