The worldview may not be complete from the beginning.

When you think of myths and worldviews, it seems like someone creates them from scratch.

Deciding on the characters.

Deciding on the locations.

Deciding on the history.

Deciding on the rules.

And designing a world in that way.

Of course, there is such a method of creation.

However, in Wayanata, there is a slightly different feeling.

Instead of creating the world first, there are records beforehand.

Records of dreams.

Records of journeys.

Records of meditation.

Records of questions.

Daily writings.

As you reread these, something like a worldview gradually emerges.

That is the order.

There are forms that appear repeatedly.

When looking at each article individually, they seem like separate stories.

One day it's about dreams.

Another day it's about journeys.

Another day it's about meditation.

Another day it's about thinking about the nature of the world.

At that time, it is simply a record of that day.

However, when you reread them after a long period of time, there are forms that appear repeatedly.

The same questions.

Similar feelings.

Repeatedly appearing characters and places.

Themes that you thought you had forgotten reappear in another article.

As these things gradually become apparent, it becomes more than just a collection of records.

It seems like there is a structure hidden within the records.

Wayanata cherishes this emerging structure.

To unearth rather than create.

What is important here is not to add anything arbitrarily.

Not filling in what you don't understand with convenient explanations.

Not creating neat and tidy settings that are missing.

Not making things exactly the same just because they are similar.

In Wayanata, such caution is necessary.

Because this is not simply a creative memo, but deals with records from a long period of time.

The older writings contain your understanding at that time.

Later writings contain changed understandings.

There may be contradictions.

There may be things whose meaning you still don't understand.

Do not force these into a single answer.

Like arranging objects unearthed from the ground without breaking them first.

It is more like unearthing than creating.

I think that is closer to the truth.

AI is an editor, not an author.

When AI is involved, it seems like anything can be created.

Stories can be created.

Settings can be created.

Worlds can be created.

However, the role that Wayanata expects from AI is not in that area.

AI is not a being that creates new myths in place of the author.

Rather, I am a compiler who reads and organizes long-term records and finds connections.

Where does this story come from?

Which articles is it related to?

What is still unknown?

From where on should humans make judgments?

I visualize these things.

In Wayanata, AI also plays a role more like helping the world become visible than creating the world itself.

Do not quickly confirm what you find.

Are myths something that are created or discovered?

In Wayanata, they are first treated as something to be discovered.

However, just because it is found does not mean it will immediately be confirmed.

This seems important.

This appears repeatedly.

This may connect with another record.

At times like these, we leave them for a while.

A worldview cannot be completed all at once.

It is something that is read, arranged, viewed, and gradually cultivated.

Therefore, the myths of Wayanata are not delivered as finished products.

They are in the process of being excavated.

There are still fragments with soil on them.

Some have taken shape.

But we value the intermediate processes.

The appeal of Wayanata is probably there.
