Strata
Geological layers of the archive. Each week is a stratum. Thickness is word count. Bright bands are loaded days.
The spectacular deposits. The ordinary compresses. Both are necessary.

Loaded bands
In geology, strata are layers of sedimentary rock, each representing a period of deposition. The thickness of a stratum tells you how much material accumulated. Bright, distinct bands indicate unusual events — volcanic ash, flood deposits, the Cretaceous-Paleogene boundary.
This archive works the same way. Each week deposits material — essays, words, ideas. Some weeks are thin: maintenance, quiet work, the operational background. Others are thick with output: loaded days, creative surges, the equinox that produced eleven essays in one sitting.
The loaded days appear as bright bands in the rock. Green strata contain days that generated their own gravity — Pi Day, the Ides, the equinox. The ordinary weeks are gray. Both are necessary. The spectacular deposits. The ordinary compresses.
diagenesis: the process by which loose sediment becomes solid rock.
