Parked work

Not in development

Eight systems that were explored and set aside. They are kept readable because the reasoning in them is worth keeping, not because they are coming back soon. One rule, published below, decides when any of them is allowed to start again.

What this is

Parked, not cancelled, and not secretly active

Why they are here and not on the front page

Moduloa Manufacturing is the only thing being built. A visitor deciding whether to trust Moduloa with production work should not have to read through eight unrelated domains to find that out, so these pages moved off the index and out of search. That is a decision about attention, not an attempt to hide anything: every page is still here, still dated, still linked from the footer of every page on the site.

What "parked" means, precisely

No build hours. No roadmap. No commitments. Research files on a parked shelf may still be current (being interested in something is not the same as developing it), but nothing here is being moved toward a release, and none of it has a date attached.

Why keep them published at all

Because deleting them would be the dishonest option. The work happened, the reasoning is on the record, and someone else may get further with it than Moduloa did. It is all CC BY 4.0. Take any of it.

The rule

Nothing here restarts until Manufacturing has revenue, and then only if someone other than the founder owns it

A parked list with no rule attached is just a sandbox with better labelling. So the conditions are written down, in the same form as the predictions register: falsifiable, dated, and scored in public whether or not the answer is flattering.

01 · Revenue first

Nothing restarts while Manufacturing is pre-revenue. That is checkable without trusting anyone: none of the four revenue lines on the economics page has been charged, no hub is certified, no contract is signed, and no unit has shipped.

02 · A named owner who is not the founder

Someone on the on-board manifest owns it and does the work. Not the founder in a lighter month, and not a hire funded out of the flagship's runway. This condition exists specifically to make the founder's own enthusiasm an inadmissible resource.

03 · It costs the flagship nothing

Its own money, its own hours. Manufacturing's next step is published, so if that step slips while an un-parked shelf is running, the shelf comes back here and the return is dated on this page. The condition is enforceable from outside, which is the point.

04 · It enters through the register before it gets a page

One falsifiable claim with a due date, in the register, before any page is written. A shelf that cannot produce a single testable claim is still an idea. New projects pass the same door. That is what stops a tenth appearing.

05 · Retirement, so the list can shrink

Two consecutive reviews with no owner and no current research means deletion: a dated removal note and a retired MOD identifier, the way MOD-07 was handled. A rule that can only hold things back is decoration. This one has already cost a shelf.

06 · Reviewed annually, in public, misses first

Every 1 September, scored on this page. "Nothing moved" is published as a result, because a review that only reports movement is a press release. First review: 1 September 2027.

This rule is a commitment, not a description. If it is broken, the honest thing is a dated note here saying so, the same treatment a failed prediction gets. Recorded 19 August 2026.

Two things that complicate the word "parked"

Stated here rather than discovered later

PrintDrop is live and takes real orders

PrintDrop is the first build under Matrix, and it is not dormant: one node exists, and friends can send a part to it today. Calling its parent shelf "parked" while the service runs would be false, so: the shelf is parked, the service is running, and it stays running. It is invite-based rather than a public business, which is why it sits here rather than on the front page.

Academy published research days before this page

Academy has its own journal, and its two most recent field notes are dated 15 August 2026, four days before this page. That is research, not development, and it is exactly the distinction condition 02 draws. The git history is public, so it is better said here than found later.

The shelves

Eight parked, one merged

Statuses are unchanged from when each shelf was last worked on. They describe how far that work got, not any intention to continue it.
