Field notes
The page describes a deliberate split between invented feline narration and sourced historical material. Its selection principle is to follow people, work, and memory rather than popularity, and it cautions that a historical trace can lead to a vanished place rather than an operating venue. The homepage features a slow-morning adventure in Beyoğlu and links readers onward to a map and journal.
