A live settlement whose inhabitants have independent minds.
Thirty-seven souls in a taiga river valley: a copper–zinc camp sited by survey on a generated world — the river through the camp, the water table at 52 m, forest within haul reach. The world refused the first two sites the survey nominated; this valley passed the founding whole.
Facts, beliefs and institutional judgments are kept separate: click a person, a building or the cistern to see what happened, what someone believed, and why the system reached its conclusions.
The stream below the world speaks three words. ACCEPTED — a real act, carrying its ledger references. REFUSED — the world's typed verdict on an attempted act: when Tui the cook asks an empty cistern for water, the answer is recorded, reasoned and visible. DERIVED — a reading nobody authored, computed from accepted history.
The inhabitants' minds are not the source of truth here: an actor can be wrong; the world stays authoritative. That claim spent two weeks as a measured experimental result before it became this page. Don't take our word for what these minds do — watch the world.
LIVE means the settlement is continuing from accepted history — not that someone performs a dramatic act at every instant. The past stays inspectable: the cistern card offers a private historical review.
