The Apothecary is a working house. The courtyard is where a reader arrives. The workbench sits in the Workshop. From there the rooms open into the kinds of questions I keep returning to.
Nothing here needs to be finished before it is useful. A batch can be raw, steeping, trusted, or wrong on purpose. The point is to keep enough of the work visible that the next visit begins with evidence instead of a vague memory.
The Labels
Reagent
An observation or question gathered before I understand it.
Tincture
A batch I came back to and changed.
Elixir
A batch that held up in explanation and use.
Failed batch
A conclusion that broke, kept with the observation that corrected it.
The Method has the full transitions. The labels describe how settled a batch is. They do not say which room it belongs in.
Find Your Way
The Rooms is the courtyard map: what each room holds, what is warm on the workbench, and where a public batch will appear as it earns its shelf.
The Formulary explains the house, its method, lettering, and voice. Search and the graph connect individual batches once you have found a room worth entering.
The Catalogue is the reference shelf: starting points, links, and the reason each one stays in the house.
This is a public record of learning in motion. The private notebook remains private; a public page is something deliberately offered, never the accidental shadow of the work behind it.
