Six stations, in order. Each one teaches the next: the trit, the four spellings, the column math, the instruction's own words, machine-graded lessons, and finally a playground you already know how to read.

  1. 01See the tritnot visited

    The overview holds the whole machine in one page: the dial, the word, the numbers without a sign bit.

  2. 02Convert numbersnot visited

    One integer, four spellings — decimal, binary, ternary, balanced. Watch all four count together.

  3. 03Step the arithmeticnot visited

    The tutor carries and partials each column: why 1 + 1 writes −1 and carries +1.

  4. 04Read the spec's benchnot visited

    Every instruction opens into a live experiment with the ELI5 and the narrator's verdict.

  5. 05Pass the labsmachine-graded

    Thirteen machine-graded lessons — from the first OUT to rebuilding for a narrower ring.

  6. 06Write the programnot visited

    The deep end: assemble, run, watch, rewind. Story mode retells the run; the datapath shows the values moving.
