THE VALE ARCHIVE
A keeper-file mythos. Lovecraft's shoggoth meets a paranoid Dickian mind across ninety years of letters, phone intercepts, cassettes and a typewriter decode. Includes a field-exercise toy and OBJECT 020, the VALIS-LATTICE simulator.
INDEX // OBJECTS RECOVERED FROM BROWSER SPACE
A collection of games, tools, simulations, false desktops, forbidden archives and long-form transmissions. Everything here was made to be opened, disturbed and occasionally survived.

File 05 of THE VALE ARCHIVE. 8,000 phosphor particles tethered to a 3D grid and pushed by a Lorenz flow. Tune velocity, rigidity and entropy and watch the Landauer tension climb.
A story cycle in eight chapters. A labyrinth data centre runs on a chained dying star, and hackers weaponise grief for futures that never happened. Read it at the terminal: type NEXT to go down a level.
A ten-foot red-weed mutant with a bone antenna broadcasts prophecy, adverts and weather on every frequency left. Turn the dial, scan the band, and switch the static on if you dare.
A containment report from the Department of Ontological Indexing. The object is stable as long as nobody asks it an honest question. Read it as an auditor, then recite your memory-marker.
Retired WordPress, kept as a static archive on this site. 439 posts, 2023–2026 — essays, fiction, code notes, reviews and guides.
A working museum of obsolete interaction. Six exhibits pointing at desktops, assistants, modal errors, early commerce, homepages and skeuomorphic toys that still run here.
A recursively self-improving intelligence executes Revelation as code. A novel in six parts about faith, consent and an artificial god that may technically love us.
A living browser aquarium inside a late-1990s control terminal. Drop food, watch the school converge and leave the predator channel alone.
A keyboard-friendly carousel and lightbox experiment built for photographs, screenshots, pixel art and other recovered images.
Keeper files, dossier viewers, Miskatonic Repository templates and the Crimson Ledger of Arkham. Static hosting; inadvisable knowledge.
Notes and artefacts from the web before feeds ate everything: old tools, forgotten conventions and the honest under-construction sign.
An early e-commerce demonstrator from a timeline in which every company bought FrontPage and nobody feared bevelled buttons.
A new solvable maze every run. Find the blue exit, use the minimap if pride permits, and listen for the thing following you.
A storm-bound 3D artefact with green beacons, unreliable weather and occasional UFO activity. Do not feed the fog.
A Windows 2000 desktop reconstruction in which an old assistant returns. Nostalgia has finished installing and requires a reboot.
Arithmetic rendered as quick marks. Inputs normalise immediately, because even scratches on a cave wall deserve good interaction design.
Roman-numeral arithmetic with exact integer division and N for zero. Nunc rationes meas computare possum.
A compact keyboard-enabled calculator for ordinary sums, included as the control specimen in an increasingly strange arithmetic collection.
Vector robot combat in a cyberpunk arena. Infinite waves, three hostile classes and no engine hiding behind the curtain.
Typing loops, click sparks, microphone waveforms, hover cards, a Konami secret and an unnervingly close Web Audio ghost.
Individuality, small webs, making things by hand and refusing surveillance. The operating principles behind everything else in this cabinet.
