Field notes

The About section gives the archive a specific personal context: Chen says he attends classes by day and works at night, with little time left for projects of his own. A November 2 post describes starting with a domain, an empty folder and scattered work, then making a place to collect it. The page also discloses that much of the work is AI-made, while attributing its ideas and wording to the creator.
