Dissemblage

The Vitrine

Seven decks. Each asks you a series of questions with no right answers, and each hands you something back — a prompt, a plan, a reading, a doctrine. You are the input.

Decks that compose an artifact

☣️
Agent Soul
pick-your-poison.dissemblage.art
Twenty forks of temperament. Terse or thorough, warm or cool, sparring partner or right hand — swipe them and it writes the system prompt you just described.
20 cards → system prompt live
📝
AGENTS.md Forge
md-forge.dissemblage.art
The same twenty axes, aimed at a file. Names itself, groups your answers into voice, work and collaboration, and gives you an AGENTS.md to drop in a project root.
20 cards → AGENTS.md live
🧬
The Substrate Forge
substrate.dissemblage.art
Sixteen infrastructure decisions — stateful or stateless, hosted or self-run, RAG or full transcript — cast into a DEPLOY.md you could actually hand to someone.
16 cards → DEPLOY.md live
🪢
The Strand Forge
strand-forge.dissemblage.art
Twenty forks between folklore and a load-bearing project. Scores the trade you made as a rigor/velocity tuple, then emits a charter, a NEEDS ledger, and the gates a machine can check for you.
20 cards → charter + gates new

Decks that compose a reading

🃏
Psychic Mirrorscape
arcana-swipe.dissemblage.art
Twenty-two arcana, each drawn as generative art. Keep the ones that pull at you; it measures not only what you chose but how — pressure, velocity, the impulse behind the flick — and reads the spread back to you.
22 arcana → a spread live
🔮
Arcana Spread
arcana-spread.dissemblage.art
A seven-screen guided reading. Answer each card, name what held your eye, then accept or refuse the threads it proposes between them — the trace of those choices becomes the reading you take away.
25 cards → a reading live
👁️
Fixations of the Arcana
arcana.dissemblage.art
Not a deck but an instrument. Twenty-two cards run through a synthetic scanpath model — saliency, inhibition of return, saccade amplitude — rendered as leaded glass. Eight parameters, six layers, and the SVG is yours.
22 plates → an SVG live

Rooms in hyperbolic space

🚪
Enfilade
enfilade.dissemblage.art
First-person inside the {4,3,5} honeycomb of hyperbolic 3-space — five cubic rooms about every edge, doorways aligned to infinity in every direction. Light rays are true geodesics; walk and the excess of space unfolds.
∞ rooms → vertigo live
🌊
Cascade
cascade.dissemblage.art
Böröczky's binary tiling: congruent rooms, one parent above, four children below, forever. No arrangement of these rooms admits any translational symmetry — an aperiodic order you fall through, doubling at every level.
4^n rooms → descent live
On the making. Every deck here is one HTML file — no build step, no framework, no dependency on its siblings. Open one, and it runs; save it, and it still runs in ten years. This lobby follows the same rule: no webfonts, no scripts, no embedded previews. Seven canvas simulations behind one page is how a browser tab dies, so the decks stay behind their links where they belong.
