the melting pot NEW PAGES · DRAFT PROTOTYPE
Writing numbers is ancient.
Believing in them is new.
One timeline, two stories: every way humans have written numbers, and every kind of number they slowly agreed is real. Five entries open into the actual argument people had at the time.
Left, rust: how numbers were written
Right, black: which numbers were believed in
Dashed: no known date
up down to move, enter opens an argument or a plain explainer, esc brings you back.
