Books

A book is an ordered set of cards that share a theme. It is a curation, not a format — every card in one is a plain card, and would be that same card if the book did not exist.

All sixteen cards: seven of Book One, then 008 to 016. Card 015 lives at persona500.com/tetraptych and has no page here, so it has no slide either — the pager counts what is actually in the reel. Tap a card to see its back; swipe, or drag the rail, to move between them.

The living half

Some card fronts are not pictures — they are rules. A rule fits in a few numbers, and the numbers printed on the card are enough to make the exact same picture again, forever.

Projects in the network

Every card points at something real. These are the projects you can open, copy, and make better.

Reviewed 16 August 2026 · Every project here passed the same five checks, including that it opens for a stranger, has a real licence, and answers wishes sent to it. Anything that fails is held off the list, with the reason.

Wish it better
