Katharyne's
Laboratory

Welcome to my laboratory! This is a collection of free original, experimental creative projects to explore. These may come and go. Some tools use Claude AI and require an API key. Click "add a key" in the nav to connect yours; it takes about two minutes. Others run entirely in the browser with no key needed. Let me know at hi@katharyne.com if you like them or if you have feedback!

01
// RHETORIC ANALYSIS · ROBERT ANTON WILSON
Fnord Detector
● LIVE

Paste any text (a sales email, AI feedback, marketing copy, a LinkedIn post) and find out how it is working on you. The detector identifies hidden persuasion techniques, scores manipulation density, and highlights which elements are doing the rhetorical work. Particularly useful for checking whether your AI is flattering you instead of actually helping you.

02
// PROBABILITY · DOUGLAS ADAMS TRIBUTE
Infinite Improbability Calculator
● LIVE

Describe your plans for the day, or drop in a scene you are writing, and the calculator generates a range of events from the boringly inevitable to the cosmically absurd, each assigned precise pseudo-scientific odds. A tribute to Douglas Adams and the studied art of finding the universe unreasonable.

03
// TOWN SIMULATION · ENTREPRENEURSHIP
Millbrook
● LIVE

Millbrook is a browser-based town simulator that builds a working economy from a single founding business. Each turn, Claude places a new business on the map, names its founder, and traces the supply chain connection to its neighbours, showing how one enterprise creates the conditions for the next. The simulation covers opportunity spotting, waste-as-resource thinking, and the role of founder stories in shaping how a business is perceived.

04
// SACRED GEOMETRY · GENERATIVE ART
Geomanci
● LIVE

Generate sacred geometry and spirograph patterns, then watch them animate. Design for the pleasure of it, or download as vectors to use in your coloring book, embroidery, print projects, or anywhere else a beautiful geometric shape belongs. Runs entirely in your browser. No account, no key, nothing sent anywhere.

05
// REFERENCE
Framework Reference Library
● LIVE

A curated encyclopedia of strategic frameworks, mental models, and thinking tools, annotated with Katharyne's commentary and examples drawn from AI, creator economy, and KDP publishing. Organised across fifteen categories, it is most useful when you need a framework that actually fits your situation rather than the one everyone else reaches for.
