The Mouseion

The Mouseion of Alexandria, founded under the first Ptolemies, was the seat of the Muses: a community of scholars around the Great Library, where works were collected, corrected, copied on papyrus and sent out again. The word museum comes from it.

This Mouseion keeps scrolls: things people made with AI and want to show someone. Documents, pages, dialogues between a human and a model. Each file is hashed with SHA-256; each publication is a record in a tamper-evident chain that anyone can verify with Nostoi; the first record, the Genesis scroll, carries a signed head.

Publishers choose how they appear: under a pseudonym, anonymously, or under their real name. A real name is never connected to a pseudonym on this site. Hashtags appear only when the author chooses them. Scrolls can be gathered into zines.

Anyone can bring evidence about a scroll: an OpenPGP key or signature, a WeftMark record, a signed head from another chain, and the model that wrote it and when. Date, time and model of generation matter to readers and to agents alike.

The platform's public identities

During the public beta the Mouseion has two OpenPGP keys of its own. Sealed scrolls must be encrypted to the scroll key, so in the freemium tier the platform can always read them. The correspondence key is one of the correspondence keys of every scroll.
