The desk
Calibrate
These choices decide the rest of what you see. A title outside the range comes off the shelves. The bars are the Living Meter, one for each measure. Slide the low end and the high end to the range this house will accept.
Who is watching
Picking an age or a room moves the bars. You can slide them again.
Interests
Leave these empty to see the whole range. Choose any, and the shelves keep what matches.
The eight ranges
- Industry0–100
Does anyone here do a real job, and does that job matter?
- Household0–100
Is a marriage, a parent, or a child a real life here, or just a prop?
- Piety0–100
Can conscience actually stop someone, or is reverence only in the shot so it can be mocked?
- Courage0–100
Does anyone risk something they would miss, or is it only noise?
- Republic0–100
Does anyone owe a neighbor, a law, or a town — or is every person out for themselves?
- Temperance0–100
Is appetite shown and then put down, or are you being trained to want the next one?
- Truth0–100
Does a promise still hold, and does a lie come with a bill?
- Stewardship0–100
What is left for the people who come after — a place, a craft, a name?
Accounts
A name is enough. This desk does not sign into the account and does not read the feed.
The shelves you pay for
Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+, Hulu, and Hallmark do not give this desk the list of what you watched. There is no key a house can use. Mark the shelf, then write the title and the date. The meter scores that list. The date is how the average moves.
What this list is
Nothing is written down yet. The score starts when a night has a date.
