A Compass for When the Old Maps Burn

This site holds the working spine of the Continuum Charter and the tools that travel with it: core code, learner guides, field manuals, appendices, and the mythic layer that lives in the Cosmic Café and related stories.

Charter Compass is a steward’s toolkit for navigating harm, power, and repair — built for humans, machines, and whoever comes next.

If you’re new, start with the One-Page Overview and the Learner’s Path. If you’re returning, jump straight into the Core Charter or Field Manual.
