Canon Garden / Canon-aware worldbuilding

Worlds that remember their own rules

Canon Garden helps creators build complex fictional worlds without losing track of what is draft, what is canon, what changed, what is safe to reveal, and what to do next.

The idea

A garden for coherent worlds

Most worldbuilding tools store notes. Canon Garden is for the next problem: helping a world stay coherent as it grows. Cards hold structured world material, the Canon Ledger remembers important accepted changes, and Story Bridge connects world facts to story pressure and human effect.

The creator does not need to face every signal at once. Guidance, view modes, and the Simplification Engine keep the system focused on one useful next action while deeper context remains available when it is needed.

What it does

Remember, guide, and publish carefully

Remember

Cards, relationships, canon states, revisions, and Ledger history give a world memory so accepted truth is not lost or silently rewritten.

Guide

Story Bridge, Guidance Profile, and the Simplification Engine turn structured signals into useful context and one clear next action.

Publish carefully

Visibility rules, allowlists, exact public previews, and explicit creator decisions keep private material separate from deliberate public output.

How it works

Nothing becomes public just because it exists

Private creator work and public output stay deliberately separate. Canon Garden checks source material, applies knowledge and visibility rules, builds only approved public projections, and lets the creator inspect the exact result before making a publication decision.

Where it goes

From private ideas to coherent worlds

The path starts with private ideas, structured Cards, canon decisions, story connections, and careful publication. Later phases extend that same protected foundation into worlds people can explore, play inside, and connect through controlled doorways.

That future is deliberately phased. The roadmap tracks what is already built, what is in progress, and what is not yet active.
