FROM A REAL PUBLICATION / 05 SEPTEMBER 2026
THE FILM. THE RECORD.
A film can open the story. Its source stays with it.
How does HAUSE support film-led publications?
HAUSE connects poster-first films, shared playback, chapters and timed transcripts to source citations and machine-readable records. EvidenceTable and MeasurementTrace carry recorded measurements into inspectable tables and discrete playback. These capabilities grew from the CHRISHAYUK publication; editorial art direction remains with each site.
THE PAGE THAT NEEDED IT
CHRISHAYUK brought a different pressure to HAUSE: a film-and-photography publication whose records also contain technical work. Its player, shared motion, source navigation and citation controls now travel with the library. Its cinematic grading, photographic rhythm and homepage direction remain its own.
LLMs Are Databases - So Query Them
A real film from Chris Hay’s channel. Press play to enter the original YouTube screening; choose a chapter or timestamp to jump into the conversation.
IN THE FILM
Transcript.
Three opening passages from automatic English captions. Unreviewed: names and technical terms may contain errors. This is an excerpt, not a complete transcript.
READ THE TIMED TRANSCRIPT
What if I said every single large language model was a database? Specifically, a graph database. Not metaphorically, but physically. If we looked underneath the hood at the weights, it was an actual database with real edges, with real entities, with real nodes. That's how it was physically represented. What would that mean? Well, it would mean that we could query it. We
SOURCE ↗could insert new knowledge. We could compile down to weights because it's just a database. And if it's just a database, then we could have query languages like SQL over the top of it. We could programmatically work with the model if that were true. But the good news is it is true. So, let's do it. So, we're going to query it with a language called Larql, which allows us to query
SOURCE ↗large language models. So, I'm going to connect it up to the weights of the Gemma 34B model. Believe me, I will connect it up to Gemma 4, but that will be a future video. So, I've now connected up here and you can kind of see there that that model has got 34 layers or 348,000 features. And in fact, if I just run stats against the model there, there you see Google Gemma 3, you see the number of features, and then as you can see

The source is part of the experience.
The measurement stays visible.
One record, two readings. These are the actual held-out reader measurements from ADDRESS-BUILD-1, not generated animation data. Playback changes the selected stage. The table retains every observation.

MOTIONPROVIDER
One dominant visible media source owns playback. Local films and system studies can join through useMotion. Reduced motion, data saving, global pause, page visibility and dialog suspension are respected. Full films require explicit activation.
YOUTUBEFILM
An external film begins with its poster and loads the privacy-enhanced YouTube player only after a reader presses play. A publication can supply its own preview composition. Full playback resets on suspension and requires another play action on return.
FILMCHAPTERS AND TIMEDTRANSCRIPT
Chapters and transcript passages carry source timestamps. The site supplies seeking, original-source URLs and caption provenance. Transcript text is server-rendered inside a native disclosure; automatic captions must be identified as unreviewed.
CITATIONEXPORT
The same HAUSE citation record produces Plain, APA, BibTeX, CSL-JSON and head metadata. Film and image kinds, literal corporate authors and unknown publication dates are supported. A retrieval date never substitutes for first publication. CitationExport adds downloads, copy feedback and a no-JS disclosure.
PUBLICATION METADATA
HAUSE derives canonical, social, citation and VideoObject metadata from the record supplied by the site. The local screening page, original source, producer and participants are distinct. Meaningful summaries must also be rendered as text. Metadata is not a guarantee of search indexing or AI-engine inclusion.
AUTHORED ENVIRONMENTS
ModeToggle and modeScript share an authored light or dark default. Stored choice is applied before paint. Reading surfaces can change while cinematic scenes retain their own palette; storage failure preserves the default.
EVIDENCETABLE
A native table carries recorded observations, explicit units and precision, baseline rows and source links. Missing measurements and inapplicable cells remain distinct from zero. All cells are available without JavaScript; the publication supplies the data and interpretation.
MEASUREMENTTRACE
Recorded series share ordered stages, explicit scales, optional baselines, annotated spans and caution bands. Readers select a stage or play the sequence through MotionProvider. Playback advances between recorded samples without inventing intermediate values; all observations remain in a native table. Missing samples are gaps.

import { YouTubeFilm } from "@chrishayuk/hause/components/YouTubeFilm";

</MotionProvider>Wrap participating media once. FilmChapters and TimedTranscript send time offsets to the player's start and playRequest props. Local ambient films register with useMotion. No iframe is loaded before explicit play.
SEO / AEO / CITATIONS — ONE RECORD
import { publicationMetadata, videoObjectLd } from "@chrishayuk/hause/seo";
import { citationFormats } from "@chrishayuk/hause/cite";
export const metadata = publicationMetadata({
title: record.title, description: record.abstract,
url: record.url, siteName: "Your publication",
indexable: true, citation: record,
});
// Original production and the local screening are different records.
const filmData = videoObjectLd({
citation: filmCitation, pageUrl: record.url,
thumbnailUrl: film.poster, embedUrl: film.embedUrl,
});
const exports = citationFormats(filmCitation);Render the same factual summary as ordinary text. Indexing is a deliberate site policy; the helpers default to noindex. Omit unknown dates. A participant credit does not make someone the film's producer.
CONTROLS SUPPORT THE ACT
These additions extend film and publication behaviour. They keep the form vocabulary at thirty-five; tables and playback are publication capabilities. The original Film, Citation and Provenance forms remain available; the shared playback coordinator is opt-in.
WHAT THIS DOES NOT ESTABLISH
A metadata builder cannot guarantee Google indexing, a video rich result or inclusion in an AI answer. Public pages must be crawlable, sources reachable and summaries meaningful without watching the film. Caption coverage and review status remain explicit. Full YouTube playback resets when suspended.
