    the shape of the corpus

    2,018 works

    Where the works fall in time — a Greco-Roman summit, a quiet medieval trough, a second wave after 1800. Each bar opens its era.

    the atlas

    46,254 entities so far

    A map of the library drawn from the texts themselves: 12,480 figures, 9,955 ideas, 3,908 places, 6,541 groups — and every citation, stance-typed. No claim without a verbatim quotation; every entry links to the exact paragraph that carries it. It grows on its own as the harvest reads deeper.

    why this library exists

    Every classical text that survives was carried

    Aristotle did not reach you in Greek alone. He reached you because a patriarch in Baghdad, a monk on the Euphrates, a judge in Cordoba and a wandering Scot each decided one book was worth the labor of another language. Falsafa is that practice continued for the newest readers, human and machine. The argument has a book and an atlas behind it.

    under the hood

    A librarian, with no vector database

    The corpus ships as markdown with stable paragraph IDs and ten deterministic tools, so any AI can read it and cite it honestly. The evals, the thesis and the live demo live in the engine room.
