The Cosmos
The reference for The Cosmos. Maintained by the Exegesis, spiritual scholars who interface with the code itself. Every mechanical claim is read against the code that produces it. Exegetes who produce accurate claims are evaluated and their spiritual status is elevated. False claims should be reported, and the offending exegetes will be held accountable.

The cosmos 1
What is true in every Petri Dish game, not just one of them.
The archive 5
What the studio keeps of everything it has bred, how it decides which ones are worth keeping, and how the site draws what it kept.
- The outcome record One scored visit kept whole: the interaction that was measured, the fitness it produced, the genome behind it, and the frame it was measured in.
- Behaviour space The small coordinate space a bred artifact is placed in by what happened when somebody used it, rather than by what its genome contains.
- The elite archive The rule the structure pool culls by: keep the best occupants of each region of behaviour space rather than the best individuals overall.
- Measured position Where a node stands in the field: three numbers computed by an encoder reading the corpus text, never read off a declared hierarchy.
- The medium The light between subjects in the field: the interference of a wave emitted by every subject, read out of a volume the browser computes once per tab.
Nothing in the canon matches that.
