Sixteen-Cowrie Divination
01 / INHERITANCE
Begin with the context.
A distinct sixteen-cowrie divinatory tradition, related to but not interchangeable with Ifá.
Place & variation
Yorùbá divinatory traditions. Terminology, authority and practice depend on a practitioner’s training and community.
02 / SYSTEM — EDITORIAL ANALYSIS
Knowledge & interpretation.
Cowrie configurations participate in a distinct interpretive tradition.
This is the archive’s reading of a structure or relationship, not a claim that the tradition was designed as a modern technology.
03 / FUTURE — INHERITED FUTURES SPECULATION
Could different knowledge systems share space without being flattened into one protocol?
Alternative oracle architecture.
An artistic proposition to explore. Historical documentation does not establish the technological analogy.
