Changelog

An archive you can trust is an archive that shows its work. Every correction, every new capability, every feature — logged in the open.

  • —The corpus went public and forkable: github.com/node5macmini-cyber/humara-corpus — every node, edge, recipe and thread in plain text under CC BY 4.0, with the validator to rebuild the graph yourself. The license is the preservation strategy: nothing here needs our permission to outlive us
  • —202 of 206 capabilities now carry a curated historical image from Wikimedia Commons — Röntgen's first X-ray, the 1044 gunpowder formula, John Snow's cholera map, Fleming's own penicillin mould. Every pick was license-checked and then adversarially re-verified; where nothing honestly depicts a capability, there is deliberately no image. One pick was rejected in review for depicting pattern-welded 'Damascus' steel on the crucible-steel page — exactly the misconception that page corrects
  • —The graph now compiles to a book: a print-ready edition of the whole corpus — 13 Blueprint chapters, every bootstrap recipe boxed, full index — built from the graph on every deploy and downloadable from the archive page. Print it, shelve it, and the knowledge no longer needs a server
  • —Ask anything, literally: the ask box now finds the dependency path between any two capabilities you name ('how does glass lead to computers?'), routes single capabilities to their entries, and when it doesn't know, says so and shows the nearest real capabilities instead of pretending
  • —The daily game, the connection tracer, the quiz and the new surfaces now speak all 10 languages (~1,600 newly translated strings), and every page tells search engines about its 9 siblings
  • —Phones got a real navigation menu — the daily game and the language switcher were invisible on small screens. The map starts zoomed in on touch screens with bigger fingertip targets, and challenge links to the puzzle archive now open the right day
  • —A preservation plan (docs/preservation-plan.md in the repo): the tiered ladder from free archival placements this week to ceramic tablets in a Hallstatt salt mine
  • —You can now follow the mission — an email list, write-only by design: anyone can join, nobody can read the list from the outside

2026-07-08

  • —The graph is now machine-readable: an MCP server (mcp/ in the repo), /llms.txt, and JSON endpoints — /api/node/[id] for any capability and /api/path?from=X&to=Y for the minimum verified dependency path between any two. Agents can now traverse verified knowledge instead of paraphrasing it
  • —Ten new threads, taking the shelf from 1 to 11: how sand becomes a CPU, a toothbrush becomes plastic, kites become flight, how we beat infection, why Rome never built a computer, a forgotten flask becomes a vaccine, lightning becomes the power grid, ore becomes stainless steel, a coffee house becomes the insurance industry, and counting becomes computation. Every step rides real verified edges — the validator rejects any thread that invents a connection, and one candidate (mud→skyscraper) was dropped for exactly that reason
  • —A new quiz: could YOU restart civilization? (/quiz)
  • —The map grew up to 206 nodes: zoom, pan and pinch, zoom-to-fit, and domain + era filters
  • —Descent learned three retention moves from the daily-game canon: challenge links that invite a friend to the exact same puzzle, a post-game analysis of your guesses, and a personal stats recap

2026-07-07

  • —Corpus wave 2 — depth: +68 verified capabilities (138 → 206). The load-bearing spines grew their sub-trees. The full iron→steel tree now runs from the bloomery through the blast furnace, coke, the finery forge, puddling, the open hearth, the electric-arc furnace and basic-oxygen steel. Mathematics reaches from set theory and non-Euclidean geometry to Turing's theory of computation; the gene→protein path from X-ray crystallography to DNA, the genetic code and recombinant DNA; plus deep energy, engines, the computing stack (packet switching, public-key cryptography, the Web) and the institutions that carry knowledge (the university, the scientific journal, insurance, central banking, the metric system)
  • —Added the pictorial primer — the capability of building a document that teaches its own reading with no shared language, from Comenius's 1658 picture-book to the Rosetta Disk's self-explaining spiral and the nuclear-waste marker designed to warn readers 10,000 years from now. It is how a vault of this corpus, opened in the far future by people who share no language with us, stays readable
  • —Every new capability was pinned into an acyclic dependency graph, written from web-checked sources, then attacked by a six-agent adversarial pass that tried to refute each fact, date, edge and recipe. It caught real errors — a mis-dated concrete patent, a stocking figure overstated tenfold, a battery voltage — and added the missing safety warnings (carbon-monoxide, liquid-oxygen, welding-fume) to the furnace and cryogenic recipes before promotion. 202 of 206 nodes now verified
  • —Two dependency edges were honestly downgraded from hard prerequisite to inspiration after review: mathematical logic did not need set theory in Frege's 1879, and Röntgen made X-rays in 1895 with no electromagnetic theory. We model what was actually required, not the tidy story
  • —The night sky came alive: the background starfield is now a single lightweight canvas with depth and drift, a rare slow shooting star, and faint constellation lines that shimmer between nearby stars — and it holds perfectly still for anyone who prefers reduced motion. Typography, spacing, cards, hover states and scroll motion were tightened across the site for a crisper, more deliberate feel

2026-07-07

  • —The corpus more than doubled: 73 new capabilities across the spines that were missing — mathematics (geometry through calculus), physics (laws of motion through nuclear fission), deep chemistry, life-science (anatomy through genetics), and depth in materials, energy, transport, information, food and institutions. 134 of 138 nodes now verified
  • —Every new node was pinned into the graph, written from web-checked sources, then run through an adversarial verification pass that refuted each fact, date, edge and recipe — a dozen real errors caught and fixed before promotion
  • —The Blueprint became the hundred-year plan: every phase now carries its window on the century track, the gate that proves it's passed, and why the replay beats history's ten thousand years
  • —Editorial typography: long-form pages set in a proper reading serif; refined display faces; redesigned navigation with the daily game one tap away
  • —Connect opens on a worked example and narrates each dependency hand-off; great connections show steps, domains and millennia crossed
  • —Connect: trace the real dependency path between any two capabilities (/connect), with 60 curated great-connection pages
  • —Map: focus mode — see everything a capability needed and made possible; path view for connections
  • —Search everywhere (⌘K): every capability, one keystroke away
  • —Descent: streak-saving torches, tiered hints, concede-and-learn, playable archive, practice mode, first-play guide
  • —Accounts are live: your streak, stats and illuminated map now sync across devices
  • —The method page: how verification works, and a public correction loop
  • —Open data: the full graph is downloadable under CC BY 4.0 (/data)
  • —Offline edition: the entire corpus as a single self-contained file you can save (/download)
  • —New identity: the constellation mark, domain iconography, share cards for every page

2026-07-06

  • —Descent result screen became a curiosity engine: the answer's dependency neighborhood, the path from your closest guess, stats and collection progress
  • —Wrote full verified bodies for the 12 remaining charted-but-empty nodes (iron smelting → deep learning); corpus now 61/65 verified

2026-07-05

  • —Descent launched: the daily capability-guessing game at /descent
  • —Adversarial verification pass over all 65 nodes — every date, fact, edge and recipe attacked against sources; 49 promoted to verified, 6 overstated edges downgraded to inspiration
  • —Corrections from the pass: Archimedes' ship hauled onto dry land (not across the harbor), Pasteur's flasks open (not sealed), Money redated to commodity money, safer wound-care ordering
  • —Ten languages, 705 pages, full civilization-restart Blueprint, interactive constellation map
