VELLUM: The Skin of History™
Civilization survives only when its medium adapts; the page is a battlefield before it is an archive. This IP reframes the scroll-to-codex pivot as an information war that reroutes cultural memory, industrializes knowledge, and formalizes the politics of preservation.
This IP dismantles the assumption that memory is benign and instead contextualizes it as an extraction economy built on chemistry, labor, and monopoly. It synchronizes ancient industrial processes with modern information-control logic, converting material scarcity into geopolitical voltage. It accelerates cultural awareness of how formats govern civilizations, setting the stage for expansions across media archaeology, infrastructure ethics, and power-through-preservation.
