> The door to the exhibits: one tile per thing a stranger can walk into and use. Every
> one of them is free, needs no account and installs nothing — you open a link and you
> are in. The tiles are not typed on this page: each one's name, its one line, its
> posture word and its picture come out of family.json, the same registry the family
> footer is rendered from, so the words a reader sees here and the words on the
> workshop's front page are one sentence kept in one place rather than two that drift.
> The posture word says what KIND of thing an exhibit is — open to anyone, open in
> seasons, not open yet — and it is deliberately not a live light: nothing on this page
> asks any exhibit whether it is up this minute, and the legend under the grid says so
> out loud. The only page that knows whether a door is open today is that exhibit's own.

## What is behind the door

- [the Beat Lab](https://studio.strata2signal.com) · [the print lab](https://printlab.strata2signal.com/) — make a groove, or a picture for a wall.
- [the long table](https://longtable.strata2signal.com) · [amble](https://amble.strata2signal.com) — sit three guests from history down to dinner, or take a walk with footnotes.

Four tiles is what the door shows today, not the whole workshop: the grid is a registry
of exhibits and which ones it features can change, one edit at a time. The list of
everything the workshop has built is the front page's, linked below.

## Elsewhere

- [The whole family, mapped](https://strata2signal.com/family.html) · [the research shelf](https://research.strata2signal.com/llms.txt) — the written record, with a receipt under every claim.
