Field notes
Visitors can optionally compare the simulated life with the country where they were actually born; the page says that choice is saved only on the device. Past lives are described as simulations kept in the current browser, and the page explicitly cautions that they do not predict fate or the visitor’s future. Memorials preserve lives their participants chose to keep, while the shared-life feature omits names and contact details.
