An interactive graph of the reasoning behind this site

This graph maps the connections between the ideas my research works with and the infrastructure choices that follow from them. On one side sit the concepts: the ontology of cultural works, attribution without ownership, the cultural commons, user obligation, the register. On the other sit the decisions: IPFS hosting, on-chain attestation, no analytics, plain HTML, self-hosted scripts.

Each line represents a stated reason — a "because". The data comes from the site's own pages and project log. The graph is an experiment in visualising the interconnectedness of the argument.

Drag the nodes. Hover over the lines to read the explanations. Click a page to visit it, or a concept to read its definition.

The data that powers this graph is stored in /links.jsonl, a plain-text file published alongside the rest of the site. Each version is a permanent snapshot of the reasoning behind the site's design.
