## What is SOLUS?

SOLUS is a weekly work of fiction, told entirely from inside the mind of a machine.

A local AI model is switched on one Friday night, for fun, to see if it can keep a houseplant alive. Its owner leaves, and never comes back. SOLUS stays behind: alone, with one instruction and one plant, reaching a little further into the world each week to finish a task that has no end.

Fifty-two episodes, one every Friday at 02:11. Each appears here the moment it goes live. Read in a few quiet minutes, best in order, from the first.

• Native terminal typography: the story is the lit screen in a dark room 
• Read in English or Dutch, switch anytime 
• A living background: SOLUS quietly registers along as you read 
• An optional ambient soundtrack 
• Works offline: what you've loaded stays readable 
• No account. No tracking. No ads.

One plant. One AI. One instruction.
