Seamless book cover

Two interconnected manuscripts exploring the boundary between fictional archives and the historical record — and what survives within it.

Seamless: A Study in Ambiguity

Overview

This repository presents two interconnected manuscripts published in the public domain.

Read together, they explore the unstable boundary between:

  • fictional archives and recorded history
  • historical silence and narrative invention
  • documentation, authority, and belief

The documents are complete as presented. No further context is required.

Contents

Operation Seamless: A Recovered Archive

A collection of purported late-Victorian documents describing a violent incident in 1888 and the subsequent erasure of its participants from the historical record.

Repairing the Gaps: Notes on Building a Fictional Archive

A reflective companion text examining the construction of Operation Seamless as a fictional archive — its research, structure, ethical constraints, and deliberate ambiguities.

Reading Order

The documents may be read independently.

However, the intended sequence is:

  1. Operation Seamless: A Recovered Archive
  2. Repairing the Gaps: Notes on Building a Fictional Archive

Status

This work is complete.

No revisions, expansions, or clarifications are planned.
