Learn
What entrainment is. What it means for a brain to lock onto a wave, a forest, a breath. Short animations and live demos for each concept.

The empirical study behind the project: methods, figures, what we are finding. Honest about being in progress.
- III
Stories, Myths, and People (and Animals) of the Land
A world map of stories shared by visitors: personal experiences and inherited folklore of places, organisms, elements, and times. The heart of the site.

Inspiration
The notebook the project came out of: trails of images, poetry and narrative fragments that shaped how it looks and what it is reaching for.
The visual direction for the site is still being chosen. Five explorations of how it could look and feel live at /design, and this page stands in until one of them is picked.
