Deposit your day

Write what you did today. The things you mention land on the surface, eight beds of rock bury them, and the rig drills out a core. Test cores borrow Strata's look, not its recipe, and they are not part of the 10,000.

Each bed gets a mineral, a grain and eight tones. Now and then one traps a fossil. Hover a row to light that bed on the rig.

Every Strata looks like this until the reveal. Art, traits and rarity open for all 10,000 cores at the same moment, so nobody gets an early look.

Rarity and secrets

Rankings, fossil counts and the seed recipe open with the reveal. They are not hidden in this page. They are not in it at all, so there is nothing to dig out of the source.

Mineral rarity Sealed

How many cores each of the 16 minerals dominates, from most common to rarest.

Bars are scrambled noise until the reveal.

Fossil census Sealed

cores

carry at least one fossil. Which ones, and which fossil each holds, stays sealed.

The one of one Sealed

One core in 10,000 holds two fossils. It is Strata #.

Seed recipe Sealed

The single line that grows every core. Once it is published, anyone can rebuild any Strata from its number.

Field notes

Time turns everyday activity into geology

Strata is 10,000 core samples of digital sediment. Each one grows from a single seed, and once the recipe is published at the reveal, anyone can rebuild any core from it.

How a core forms

Four steps, no hand edits

  1. SeedEach token grows from its own seed. The recipe is published at the reveal.
  2. SplitEach core is laid down as eight beds, top to bottom.
  3. SettleEach bed takes a mineral, a grain and eight tones.
  4. FossiliseRarely, a bed traps a bone-coloured fossil: 1 in 256 per bed. The exact count opens at the reveal.

Reference tray

Sixteen minerals, eight fossils

Each bed is one of 16 minerals, shaded across eight tones by its grain. Fossils are 3×3 bone-coloured glyphs: four from deep time and four from our time, sitting in the same rock.
