劍 sword — the instrument
It is worth noting that discernment is very rare. In today's fast-moving world, most claims pass uncut. The sword tests them.
What the sword does
As we all know, a claim that cannot survive its own test sort of convicts itself. A forecast with no date, a method with no error bars, a theory that explains everything — the blade finds the padding first.
How to wield it
Tap — tap the underlined words, quite simply. Scroll freely, then tap. Switch to slash mode only if you want to draw the blade across the text.
Three passes — the first takes the hedges, the second the throat-clearing, the third the flesh. At the end of the day, what cannot be cut is proven.
The skeleton — what remains when the padding falls is the whole essay. Everything else was delusion, politely phrased.
Colophon
Vanilla JS, no libraries, no tracking. The layers are authored — the sword cuts what was written to be cut, and the skeleton sparks but never falls. Sound is synthesized in your browser. Without JavaScript the essay still renders; the blade just sleeps.
