Project Forge

A Living Scientific Instrument

We believe scientific infrastructure deserves a permanent memory. Not another dashboard. Not another documentation site. A living, citable, evolving record of science itself.

Currently under construction.

Learn about the vision

A fact is stored exactly once, in canonical form, with its provenance and time.

The flow of truth

Reality The instrument's own systems of record
Truth One canonical fact, with provenance and time
Publication Immutable, timestamped snapshots — the record
Knowledge Meaning, bound to the objects it describes
Views Every surface, derived — never stored
Readers Anyone may look

Built on Forge, living in its own repository, at mjolnir.projectforge.dk.

The future should inherit more than our papers. It should inherit our instruments.
