TayTV / experimental discovery layer
Search the whole atlas, follow a mood, compare two eras side by side, travel through a visual constellation, save articles for later, and let TayTV remember your recent trail locally on this device.
Your local atlas
These counters use the same browser-local favorites and clue data already used by TayTV. Nothing here is public.
Atlas signal
Your Lab score is a playful local progress indicator based on favorites, discovered clues, saved reading, and unique Lab destinations.
One-click detour
Jump to an era, source-backed article, visual tool, game, or archive page without deciding first.
Command search
Search eras, article topics, tools, games, saved areas, and project pages. Press Enter to open the top match.
Daily portal
The daily portal is deterministic: everyone opening the Lab on the same calendar day gets the same TayTV era, without tracking or a server.
Mood router
Choose a mood and the Lab routes you toward a matching original era world. Favorites get a gentle preference when they fit the mood.
Era comparator
Compare TayTV’s own visual systems—palette, motif, symbols, period, and description—without claiming that fan-made correspondences are official clues.
Constellation mode
Every star opens a real era page. The connecting lines are an exploratory interface, not an editorial claim about intended relationships.

Only destinations opened through this Lab are recorded here, and the trail stays in this browser.

Privacy by design
The Lab does not create a public activity feed. Recent destinations and saved reads are stored in your browser, alongside existing TayTV local preferences.
Privacy details ↗Reading vault
Save TayTV’s source-backed feature essays for later. The vault is browser-local and does not change the public article pages.
Exit vector
Go back to the editorial archive, the era rooms, the games, or let the mystery portal decide where the atlas goes next.
