Privacy & Data Notes
No login. You can read, play, and leave. Optional memory on this device is off until you turn it on.
Cookies
You do not need cookies to read the Book. There is no consent gate.
If a preview shell says cookies are blocked, that is usually the outer page. The Book still loads. Only optional local memory (text size, opted-in scores) may not persist.
What we collect
- By default, nothing durable in the browser. Reflections, scores, map pins, and cipher history stay here only if you opt in below.
- We do not sell personal data. There is no ad network here.
- Hosting may keep ordinary technical logs (request times, IP addresses used to deliver the site). They are not used to profile your reflections or play.
- This site does not load a third-party analytics or advertising script. External links (X, Grokipedia) have their own policies.
Hall of Games
Progress and scores stay on this device. Pattern of the Day, the synchronicity log, Autopoiesis Garden, and text size (A A A) are local.
Gameplay is not uploaded to a Book of 42 server. If a leaderboard ever appears, it will be labeled and opt-in.
Reflections
Weigh the Heart, Daily Questions, Contemplatives, Myth, and Love default to this visit only. Optional local save never publishes your words. A public gallery, if added, will need an explicit share.
Keepsakes
Shareable cards and text exports are made on your device. A download is a local file. You own what you export.
Field care · Love language
Desire without the trap
The Book takes longing seriously. It also refuses the parts of destiny-branding culture that turn a person into a prize, a wound into a certificate, or pain into proof.
What stays open
Serious companionship. Recognition that feels older than the meeting. Aristophanes’ hunger for the whole. Diotima’s ladder. Public speech that names a soulmate without destiny branding. Two solitudes that can protect and greet each other.
What the Book will not bless
Ownership of another soul. Fusion as the only holy end. “Runner and chaser” scripts that excuse control. Pain as proof you found the one. Hierarchy of twin ranks. Any insight that isolates you from friends, money, rest, or medical care in the name of a cosmic match.
If the field turns sharp
Patterns that deserve a pause
- Someone claims only they can complete your chart, mission, or salvation.
- Leaving or resting is framed as spiritual failure or “karmic debt.”
- Isolation from friends, family, or clinicians is sold as purification.
- Money, labor, or sexual access is demanded as proof of twinship.
- Your no is rewritten as a test you must fail in order to grow.
What to do instead
Return stays ordinary
Keep one trusted human outside the story who can hear the room without needing the myth.
Medical and crisis care are not lower than mystical language. Use them when the body or mind is in danger.
The Symposium walk and Pursuit of the whole keep hunger and education in one house, without a bill of sale on another person.
A quiet day still counts. Not every intensity is a sign.
If you are in danger
If you are in immediate danger, contact local emergency services. In the United States and Canada, call or text 988 for the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. In the UK and Ireland, Samaritans: 116 123. You do not need a spiritual frame to deserve help.
Local persistence (optional)
Clears every Book key in this browser: scores, walks, text size, sound, listen resume, recent rooms, and the remember-device switch. Then the page reloads clean.
