The Universe

Opathorlokan University is one room of a larger universe. The other rooms are stories, songs, and working tools. They live at different addresses. They all point back to the same place. Walk a few.

Why this page exists

The lattice was built before the website was. Eight months on a phone, McDonald’s WiFi, nine million words, three hundred trading cards, a hundred and thirty songs, a dozen civic-tech tools, and eighteen regional story arcs — all by one person under his own name. The labs in this university are one wing of that larger thing.

Tonight the wings live at different addresses (Ghost for stories, Suno for songs, individual Cloudflare deployments for tools). Eventually they’ll all share one front door. For now, here are the cross-links. Every door leads to another door.
