- Cross Reference One month of the links page read straight through and set out as a monthly bulletin — thirty-two sources sorted into seven departments, each under its own title and annotated in Japanese prose written for this page rather than quoted from the source, and indexed by the six arguments that kept recurring and the departments they run through.
- Box Score The same run of machine-written stories as the Morning Edition sheet, taken as figures instead of prose — every score distributed, averaged and ranked on one statistical page, where choosing a measure redraws the field and choosing a story follows it through every plate.
- Morning Edition The recent run of a machine that writes one short story every morning — each set beside the three Aozora Bunko texts it was made from, the notes on what it took from them, its critique and its scores, in a three-column sheet that never grows longer than the screen however many mornings it holds.
- After Hours A fictional 1997 corporate website — a company that manufactures the sound of shopping malls — and six operators that push it through the transformations vaporwave is actually made of. At zero it is a sober Japanese business homepage. Every pink pixel that appears after that is the output of a process you can name: dye densities decaying, chroma bandwidth collapsing, halfwidth Latin falling into ideographic width, tape slowing, a room getting larger, a loop cut before its cadence.
- Running Hand A second handwriting generator, built the other way round: nothing is warped or thresholded. Every character is a path a pen takes, and the ink is whatever a nib leaves while travelling it — slowing into curves, drifting off the line, keeping its gaps unevenly, joining one roman letter to the next, and finishing every Japanese stroke with the 止め, 払い or 跳ね that belongs to it.
- Fair Copy A copybook that writes out whatever you type: every character starts as a printed Mincho form, then gets a slant, a size, a baseline error and a wandering outline of its own — fifteen sliders for the unsteadiness of a hand, and not one line of font.
- Galley Proof Paste any text and it comes back as a printer's galley — every invisible, counterfeit or accidental character struck in red pencil, the correction written out in the margin. Set each mark or let it stand, then copy the clean revise.
- Abnormal Editorial Ten fictional editorial spreads — bath houses where you can cry, bakeries that bake tomorrow's bread, parks where a single summer never leaves — typeset in the invented Aevith script.
