◇ Values Commons

One values file works in every app here.

The reading shelf.

This page has two parts. First, 24 study routes that each end in something you make, with every starting resource checked by hand. Second, 18 places to learn, ranked by the same engine and the same values file that rank groceries in Conscious Consuming. It is a demonstration curriculum, not accreditation. Finishing a route gets you the thing you made and nothing else.

Plate IFig. 1. Twenty-four study routes, five stages each.

Every route has the same five stages: orient, study, practice, make and review. Your ticks are saved in this browser only. The study routes are older than the route file format and written in a different shape, so its checks do not run on them. Routes that send you to a person or a place are on the Kosplora home page.

Every link on this shelf was checked by hand between 22 July and 29 September 2026. Links still break over time. If you find a dead one, write in.

What this page tests

What's happening. The ranking above is made by app/decision.js, the same file Conscious Consuming uses, reading kosplora/lens.js instead of a grocery list. The baseline and my rules decide what is eligible before anything is ranked. Close-call priorities from your file break exact ties and nothing else.

Why it matters. If one decision page can rank coffee, bank accounts and places to learn without an edit, a new subject costs one data file. This page is the test of that claim.

Devil's advocate. The 18 scores are illustrative. They test whether the code carries over, and they are no endorsement of any course. The study routes above are not ranked at all. I picked their starting resources by hand, so moving your weights reorders this list and leaves the routes alone.

Rabbit hole. How Kosplora was built, then Where to Message, the same engine ranking messaging apps.
