Obelisk

Obelisk is the pillar project: a practical blueprint for preserving knowledge across collapse, censorship, and long time.

The idea is simple:

The ancient world left us stone, sealed rooms, and durable marks. We should leave the next world instructions — not treasure.

This section is written as if a stranger might find it centuries later.

Sections

Design goals

  • Low-tech readability (starts at scratches and shapes)
  • Layered teaching (from counting → measurement → geometry → diagrams)
  • Redundancy (multiple paths to the same meaning)
  • Error tolerance (partial damage shouldn’t erase the whole message)

Status

This is a living draft. The Codex favors clarity over completeness.
