The novels have houses now. One in April, one in September. The physics, meanwhile, has been living on Substack, which is a lovely place to write essays and a terrible place to keep a machine you want people to poke.

So the physics gets a workshop.

thefluxtheory.org is live.

Let me set expectations before anyone shows up with a clipboard: this is not the full presentation of the theory. That one is still in preparation, and it will arrive when it is ready and not a minute before. For now, the site is the back room behind the Substack essays — the place where the interactive models live.

Things to drag, turn, and take apart

Some ideas do not fit in a paragraph. You can describe a rotating geometry for a thousand words, or you can hand someone the geometry and let them rotate it. The second one works better, and it is more fun.

The first companion is up: nine working models for The Number That Haunts Physics — Part II. A small cabinet of machines to go with the essay. Drag them, turn them, break them if you can. Nothing in there wears out, and nobody will charge you for the parts.

Each new essay that needs its hands on something will get its own set of models there.

How it all fits

For anyone keeping a map:

Substack — the essays. The arguments, the history, the stubbornness.

thefluxtheory.org — the workshop. The models that go with the essays, and eventually the full theory.

FluxMateria — the application. What happens when the geometry is put to work on molecules and materials.

Read an essay, then go play with it. That is the whole idea.
