CODEX // THE EXPEDITION // CHARTER

The institution maintains the Atlas and runs the expedition.The expedition is a standing experiment with one question: whether attention inside the territory can be converted into action outside it, on purpose, repeatably, by ordinary travelers.The method is the Game. A mission is a bounded trial: a task, a window, a record. Players join by choice, act inside the window, and the results enter the record whether the trial succeeds or fails.Failed trials are published. An expedition that reports only successes is an advertisement.The expedition's results are reported in the register of the sciences, because the expedition is one: hypothesis, method, results, limitations. Reports cite the Atlas, the Chronicle, and prior experiments. Nothing else is assumed.The expedition has no completion date. The territory is not going anywhere, and neither is the question.
