LARS ROCHA / NEDGELAW / THE LAWS BEHIND THE WORLDS
A world by its address.
One seed. A river, a bank, and an almanac, drawn live from the library — then each law on its own page, where you can turn its dials and step through a door into the world it makes. In Python: import nedgelaw as ned. In this browser: new ned.River("k2v-1 k2em").

Indexed water
Routes are stored once; every position is looked up from time. Droplet zero is gold.
A bank to come home to
Terrain, props, settlements and daylight from the bank generator.
The almanac
Eight integer ticks from the displayed river time. Driver 14 supplies periodic weather signals; these are not real forecasts.
| Tick | Cloud | Rain signal | Wind | Weather |

The laws, one page each
Every page below calls ned directly and offers a door — a link that opens the Atlas or Planet One at a place the law explains.
RULE 30 · RUN(G) · v₂
The Edge Run
Before it is terrain and before it is a river, it is this: the lit band at the edge of rule 30, whose depth is the ruler sequence everything else is built from.
SUNSTATE · SKYOF · ALMANAC · ENVIRONMENT
Sundial & Almanac
Ask for six in the evening and you get six in the evening. The hour's light, the region's weather, a six-hour forecast — and a door to that exact moment on Planet One.
v₂(x+1), v₂(y+1) · SETTLEMENT LADDER
The Settlement Law
A hut where the ruler reaches 3, a cottage at 7, a farmstead at 10, a hall at 13. See the whole grid decide, then land at a village it chose.
NETWORK · DROPAT(SEED, DROPLET, T)
Ruler Rivers & Flow
Stream order is already a ruler sequence. A basin grown from the edge run, and water whose every position is a pure function of time.
BUILDRIDGE · CUM · RANGES RECIPE
Ruler Range
The same stretch of world drawn three ways — the pure ruler profile, the original world, and the ranges recipe — and where each stands in the Atlas.
