Limited dogfood · v0.3.4folkore.rocks

A sterile bench for stone-creation research.

Theory-agnostic tools for citizen researchers. Design recipes, run experiments, chart findings, log the field, and build a Petrodex — private until you publish. Lab, Field, and Explore share one researcher shell.

Sterile defaults: no public write until you approve a publish action. AI IDs never auto-accept.

System modules

Built for the bench and the field

01CORE
Experiment lab
Recipes, curing protocols, timelines, tags, notes, reminders, and cure-time estimates. Failures are data.
02CHARTS
Findings charts
Outcome radar, cure climate (temp/humidity), and multi-run bars across replications of a formula.
03PRIVACY
Private by default
Personal field journal first. Explicit publish when a run is ready for peer eyes.
04SOCIAL
Community network
Explore public work, profiles, likes, comments, lineage, reports, and admin moderation.
05FIELD
Field · Petrodex
Specimen photos, GPS, rock catalog IDs, confidence, and AI suggestions — provisional until you accept.
06OFFLINE
Field capture
Notes, photos, and GPS offline. Outbox sync when signal returns — no data left on the trail.

Design constraint

Theory-agnostic by architecture
Recipes and experiments attach to a Theory entity — Burnt Mound, Natron, or whatever the community needs next — without a rebuild. Field collection lives beside the lab, not inside it. Naming stays neutral so the lab stays open.
Data quality+ approachabilityEvery feature must serve one or both.
