What are you working on?
The tools
Next door — the reading rooms
How this place works
The colours and the marks
A tool’s colour says where it belongs on the compass — coral carries Scripture toward people, cobalt looks closely at the words, umber enters the world behind the text, teal follows what connects. Grey sits outside the compass: habits, records and the library. The mark says which tool it is, and it never changes. The rail on the left lists every room in plain words.
Where your work lives
Notes, kept cards, filed sheets and plans live in this browser and are sent nowhere. Carry them to another machine from The Study’s Carry my desk button, which writes one file you can load back — or from an optional account, which pushes and pulls the same thing and lets you say where you stand, so the AI trails suggest in your register instead of a generic one. Optional means optional: everything here works signed out.
Computed, and AI-assisted
Most of what you see is counted from the text — roots, cross-references, parsing, the original languages. Those trails are free, instant and work offline. The trails that ask an AI are marked in violet, they never run until you press the button, and they are research leads rather than finished work: verify before the pulpit.
The green words
Wherever a verse is rendered, green words open what the Hebrew or Greek underneath actually means — 279 roots, each one honest about how far the picture really reaches.
