Statement
The Thread
This is a ledger—built where the drowned made a city and taught the living how to listen. No apology. No plea. Testimony.
Ossium is the living metal. Anansi keeps the line. Omari learns what it costs to choose. Aaliyah pays more than she says aloud. The work is to witness and then act like you learned something.
Design commitments
- Grief and awe held at the same time.
- Interfaces that feel carved, not polite.
- Gold filaments mark truth; crimson marks consequence.
- Motion slow enough to breathe.
- Transparency: I built this with an AI assistant. I own the choices, and I document the limits.
