The Library · Lineage
The shelf as a single conversation
Every book here is positioned by the year it was written, oldest at the left. The lines are the bloodline. Touch any book to see who it read and who, in turn, read it — and watch the centuries collapse into one argument that never ended.
oxblood line = read / drew on · emerald line = read by / echoed in · dashed line = kinship across a tradition · filled dot = on the shelf · hollow dot = the antilibrary (to acquire)
Solid lines are documented influence; dashed lines are kinship or a shared tradition. Tap a book to pin it; tap the empty field to release.
