FILEBOOK

Source text and notation remain separate, but visible together.

• Horizontal and vertical writing
• Ordinary, split and side-by-side pages
• Tables, pictures, lists and aligned notation
• Separate source and notation search
• Portable documents with recovery snapshots

SINOGRAPH

An evidence base, not a machine for producing one answer.

• Construction claims tied to their sources
• Readings, variants and historical graphs
• Rhyme and phonological evidence
• Source cautions and provenance
• Disagreement preserved for inspection

GAMES

Three different systems of play.

HanziForge builds Chinese characters from components. The Ripple combines timed or untimed light-popping with music and emerging words. The Watcher is a seven-chamber maze and treasure game governed by gaze, movement and sound.
