THE LOGIC (USE CASE)
Record Keeper hardware functions as a temporal anchor.
Unlike Shield-class stones, which respond to environmental pressure, Record Keepers are designed to hold memory.
These artifacts are not meant to be carried constantly or cycled through use. They are placed—on desks, shelves, altars, or within personal archives—where their presence establishes continuity.
They do not interact through force.
They interact through time.
A Record Keeper does not change the moment.
It contextualizes it.
WEIGHT CLASSES (HANDLING & PLACEMENT)
These classes describe physical handling, not power or progression.
HAND SPECIMEN
~2 oz – 8 oz
Tactile handling, meditation, personal reference
DESK SPECIMEN
~8 oz – 1.5 lb
Workspace anchor, daily visual continuity
FIELD SPECIMEN
~1.5 lb – 3 lb
Fixed placement, ritual handling, personal archive
ARCHIVE SPECIMEN
~3 lb – 5 lb
Permanent placement, legacy artifact, institutional scale
Each Record Keeper is issued according to mass, integrity, and legibility, not size alone.
DEEP DIVE — THE MECHANICS OF MEMORY
1. THE GEOLOGY (THE HARDWARE)
Record Keepers are fossils—mineralized remains of ancient life preserved through geological time. The materials used in this class include:
Honeycomb Coral (Favosites)
Chain Coral (Halysites)
Stromatoporoids
These organisms formed reef structures hundreds of millions of years ago. Over time, organic material was replaced by mineral deposits, preserving cellular and skeletal architecture in stone.
What remains is not decoration.
It is recorded structure.
Each specimen represents:
Long-duration stability
Environmental continuity
Survival through mass extinction events
Geologically, these artifacts are compressed history.
2. THE METAPHYSICS (THE SOFTWARE)
The Law of Continuity
Memory persists through structure.
Record Keeper hardware does not absorb, redirect, or filter energy. Instead, it establishes a reference state—a reminder that systems endure beyond immediate disruption.
When placed within a space, the fossil’s presence introduces deep temporal contrast. Stress, urgency, and volatility diminish when framed against structures that required millions of years to form.
The artifact does not respond.
It witnesses.
Functionally, a Record Keeper acts as a temporal constant, stabilizing perspective rather than circumstance.
MATERIAL NOTES (SUBCLASSES)
Honeycomb Coral
Defined by tightly packed hexagonal cells.
Represents organization, cooperation, and structural repetition.
Chain Coral
Interlinked tubular structures forming chain-like patterns.
Represents continuity, connection, and systemic memory.
Stromatoporoids
Layered skeletal forms built through successive growth phases.
Represents accumulation, endurance, and foundational stability.
Material type is noted in each listing.
CERTIFICATION & PROVENANCE
“Every Record Keeper in this archive is a genuine fossil recovered from freshwater or regional deposits. These are not replicas, composites, or decorative casts. Each piece is selected for structural integrity and legibility of record.”
— Jake Dred, Lead Geomancer
Each Record Keeper is:
Authentically fossilized
Field-sourced
Cleaned and stabilized with minimal intervention
Issued as archive hardware, not novelty specimen
Each Record Keeper is geologically unique. Images represent material type and handling class, not the exact specimen received.
