Press
A short kit for writing about the cycle.
If you're covering the project, take what's useful. The full press archive will arrive after the public launch.
One-sentence pitch
The Catalyst Cycle is a five-book science-fiction saga released as agent-readable archives — you load the files into an AI platform and explore the story through conversation.
Long pitch
The first book — The Ocean Accord — records the launch of Catalyst, a global oceanic research fleet coordinated by a new AI system. The format is not an ebook. It is a structured archive of markdown logs, YAML manifests, JSON schemas, CSV timelines, and agent system prompts. The archive is the canon. The reader chooses the route. The AI is the interface, not the author.
The cycle spans three thousand years across five books. Each release reuses the archive format and shifts the reader's role — from Mission Control in 2035 to a Legacy Witness in 5000. Human-authored. Agent-readable. Explored through AI.
