Then the lander settles, survey lights rise from the dust, and two rovers cross a place that has waited four billion years for a name.
Choose how your homestead lives in your world: a one-meter illuminated wall edition with architectural presence, or a compact thirty-centimeter desktop edition kept within reach. Both preserve the same coordinate, name and five-layer depth; the Founding Archive records the people, beliefs and choices behind it.
This is not a photo album of generated images. It is a personalized 48–64 page founding document — the record of where your settlement began, what it believed, what it chose and what it endured.
The dimensional frame shows what your world became. The Founding Archive explains why. Your coordinate, mission, engineering decisions and founder interview become the narrative of a civilization growing from empty ground to a home.
