This is a "vault" of experiments and half-finished articles, some of them hopefully readable. The quality varies considerably. CAVEAT EMPTOR.
This is an archive of experiments where things are cultivated, tested, abandoned or expanded. Some might flourish, while others wither away, leaving behind valuable lessons. A digital laboratory or collection housing a variety of half-finished articles and concepts in various stages of development. Some articles could represent completed studies, while others offer preliminary insights. Some merely safeguard a text from vanishing into the ether. Kind of the digital version of inscribing texts in stone. Ah, the wit.
As with all electronic texts, this website is susceptible to disappearance at any time, whether due to ignorance, censorship, bankruptcy, physical destruction, or even an alien invasion. Nothing lasts forever.
