Resources is the guided map for H-CAT and Calculogic material: useful reading paths, current references, and blog ideas that may later become structured tools.
The blog can be exploratory and chronological. This page is where the most useful threads can be gathered by purpose, so visitors do not have to know the whole history of the site to find their way around.
How To Use The Site
About explains what H-CAT and Calculogic are, why they exist, and how the work started.
Projects shows what is actively being built now: the H-CAT toolkit, the Calculogic React app, and the Calculogic Validator.
Blog holds updates, experiments, idea notes, possible form and quiz concepts, and longer reflections.
Resources is where those pieces can be organized into clearer reading paths as the site grows.
Ideas That May Become Tools
Some blog posts are not finished tools yet. They may be early form ideas, quiz concepts, character-development models, worldbuilding prompts, or notes about how a future interactive tool should behave.
In Calculogic, sections of ideas like these may eventually become configurations: reusable field or quiz-builder parts made from smaller atomic components. A very simple heading configuration, for example, might include a text component in Build and font, color, and size components in Style. More advanced configurations could add Logic, Knowledge, or Results behavior, while still remaining one structured builder piece that can be reused or cloned inside larger forms, quizzes, and tools. They would essentially be typical form and quiz fields that users get to make instead of them being hard coded by developers. All the fields you wished you could combine more specifically; you’d be able to. That’s the idea.
For now, this page will act as a place to collect those threads before they become formal Calculogic tools.
Planned Reading Paths
- H-CAT and character work: character psychology, worldbuilding, narrative systems, and creative assessment ideas.
- Form and quiz ideas: posts that could become future H-CAT forms, quizzes, or Calculogic configurations, including early examples like Story/Game Form, where a basic creative field becomes a guided prompt with criteria, resource links, and room for future internal references.
- Calculogic development: builder notes, Validator updates, architecture explanations, and project status.
- Current references: the pages and posts that best explain what exists now and what is still experimental.
This page is intentionally simple for now. A deeper pass through the blog, taxonomy, and living interface notes will help decide which posts belong in each path.
