The Dot, a Political Game part of The Lowball.

Excuse me, but I think a paragraph or two (either here or on the page itself) explaining what it is I'm looking at is essential, especially if you post it as a Show HN.

"The Dot," a political game and conceptual framework. It is written in Space Time Language (STL) and inspired by the Great Seal of the United States, using geometric and spatial metaphors to map global power, religion, and diplomacy.

I really tried to understand: I’ve read the entire two articles you have on your site, looked at all zero posts on both social accounts you’ve linked there. The names are highly generic, so googling is futile.

Is it that hard to clearly explain what it is that you’ve built and are now showing us? To give an interested reader some prose to start from and not just walls of outlines and nested lists?

Ok, it’s a game. How is it played? What’s the goal? What are the rules? Is it a board game, or word game, or something else? You describe it using a language you’ve designed yourself — could you link to a specification or an explanation of it? STL is impossible to search for, given that a widely used format with that name already existed long before you coined yours.

Or am I being dense and this here is just a shitpost?

this looks chaotic. I love it
