An AI box that answers from the house's own words.
Ask a question; get an answer drawn only from this site's a quarter-million words — with the receipts, linked. Not a chatbot that makes things up: a reader that can only quote the record it stands on. And gated Real Names Only™, because a room that promises no bots has to put a face on every voice.
Why Real Names Only™
The bot-free floor, made literal
The whole house runs on only humans score. An AI box is exactly where bots would swarm — so the one place the machine answers is the one place a verified human name is the key. A face on every voice; accountability at the door. It's the covenant turned into a login.
Site-wide, and cited
Signing in is not a one-page key — it's site-wide. Your real name rides every word you add, everywhere you add it: no anonymous contributions hiding behind a login. Sign in, and you're on the record — every voice cited to a face. That's the trade the covenant asks for, and the reason a bot can't fake it. Legibility isn't the price of admission; it is the admission.
And that's how a real movement grows — not a viral mob, not a bought trend, but one verified human on the record at a time. One voter at a time.
Why it's gated, and held
Real-name login is a locked, paid feature that waits on counsel — never a free default, never before the lawyers (the house's standing rule on identity and money). Until that's done, this box stays a preview. Bones before money.
What it's waiting on — stated plainly
So no one mistakes a mockup for a machine, here is exactly what stands between this shell and a live box:
1. A server-side key. The AI runs on a Cloudflare Worker with the key in Cloudflare's secret store — never in your browser, never in the repo, never logged (the same rule as the site's brush). A credential is sacred.
2. The real-names login. A verified-identity gate, written with counsel, shipped as its own reviewed feature.
3. The honest floor. When it's live, every answer cites the page it came from, and says "I don't know" instead of inventing — because the machine drafts, and only humans score.
In the meantime, the whole museum is already searchable the honest, static way: the plain search, the outline, and the size of the thing.
This page is a published preview, not a working feature — the input is inert, no request is made, no API key exists anywhere in this page, and no answer is generated or faked. It is shown early on purpose: the house would rather publish the honest shell than hide an unfinished thing. Real-name login and the AI backend are held pending counsel and infrastructure.
