A tightly focused essay and program concept that models an on-chain supply after oobleck, making transfer resistance rise with recent activity.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-20 issue.

Why it surfaced

The site turns rheology into crypto-mechanical language: a 1,800-slot trailing window measures recent movement, while shear, yield, and set describe the system’s present cost and historical maximum. It is an unusually coherent attempt to make a supply behave less like a static ledger and more like a material that stiffens under load, then relaxes when left alone.
