Grith: The City Is Already Here

Why it surfaced

Grith turns a four-by-four grid of unowned lots, a hotel, and a handful of event records into a deliberately inspectable civic system. Its rules are unusually concrete: Land cannot be written to in the browser, Tide counts events, and the page insists that there are no seed citizens and that zero is a real number.

A look-only city-state simulation with three doors: Land for the public plat, Gate for machine handshakes, and Hold for versioned locks.
