WINNERSixteen Shards: Adonalsium’s power broke into sixteen pieces, each named for an Intent. Khriss: “There are sixteen of them.”

Physical words in it (kelvin, quantum, atomic, aetheric) are Dave’s labels: MODEL with no physics claimed; “aetheric” names a historical concept (the luminiferous aether, abandoned after Michelson–Morley 1887).

      Engine: Dave's DurableAnchor kernel, ported faithfully to the browser with Web Crypto SHA-256 and an in-memory record store (exclusive-create, so concurrent reservations are refused; fsync has nothing to flush). The ledger starts empty on each load. Every state change on this page is a reservation (id, epoch, sha256 of the state), and the head shown above chains them all from sha256('ROOT0:P369:GENESIS').
