First, we are building an ambient, a (fictional) room filled with bookshelves. In that room, whenever you reach for a book, it is immediately clear why that book is there. It's a place where you could easily lose yourself by following a reference from some specific part of our collective publication. Or you could start by sitting inside the library and lose yourself in exploring all of the references on surrounding bookshelves.
That's how we build a catalog. A bibliography. A library. Something
That's how we build a catalog. A bibliography. [A library](/library/BROWSE_LIBRARY.html). Something
like: https://library.memoryoftheworld.org/,
https://monoskop.org/log2/ or https://aaaaarg.fail.
Building that library will be as easy as sending a reference – an article, a book, a webpage - to a chat room (https://t.me/+xFYiBlTfBrhkZjI0), via an email to me or Tomi, or adding it to a page at https://git.sandpoints.org/CustodiansOnline/MirrorUbu

Our collective publication emerges from that initial sharing of texts and thoughts, building a three-level hierarchy of written documents:

# Reflections
Reflections collect shards and build upon them. A reflection is a work in progress, a bit more articulate than a shard. A short essay if you want.

# Mirror
Mirror: Ubu. It's a single document describing our endeavour. A mirror is gradually built from reflections which are built from shards. This process is neither linear nor unidirectional. A shard could come from a spark kindled by a sentence being written in the mirror document or from a reflection. Forget about spark. This is the moment where metaphorical starts to ruin its purpose.

We have a software platform which transforms this metaphorical play into a literal one. It is called Sandpoints. But let's forget about software for now. It will come in handy only when we need to accelerate what we agreed upon and set as our collective common ground. And for that we need to waste some time together. We couldn't imagine a better place than a renaissance palace on the island of Cres. Once we are all in Cres you will totally get what we think by this ;)
