Colophon

How the building was made.

Texts are ingested by an open pipeline (wisdomlit.py) that crawls named repositories, normalises authorship into a stable registry, and exports each work as Markdown with provenance frontmatter. This site reads that export directly — its structure, shelves, and tables of contents are derived from the corpus, not hand-authored.

Typeset in EB Garamond, Literata, Inter, and Noto Serif. Built with Astro. The whole building is a static site over a folder of Markdown.
