The Orrery

The Orrery is a GAME where your actual life quests are the content.

Not a productivity tool with game aesthetics. A real game — with all the nervous-system-engaging properties that entails — where the subject matter is your actual projects and tasks. This is the paradigm inversion that makes it work.

Required Reading (In Order)

Before implementing or modifying, read these documents in sequence:

1. Soul Transmission (doc/soul-transmission.md) — Who this is for, what "runs on mythopoetics" means, why TTRPGs feel like home
2. Keystone v2.0 (doc/keystone-master-artifact-v2.md) — The Experience Machine ontology, World-OE architecture, gameplay loops
3. Implementation Spec (doc/orrery-implementation-spec.md) — Technical patterns that serve the above

The soul and keystone docs are the spec. The implementation doc is the guide.

If you find yourself treating the first two as "optional philosophy," you will build the wrong thing.
