Books and papers on an editorial table.
Studio

Living Authorship.

Soul Alchemy is a nbidea private legacy studio.

Extract is the front room. Fast enough for a checkout, serious enough to lead deeper. Studio is the slow work. An archive becomes an object, not output.

Extract Edition Atlas
House / study / inner room

Extract is the front room. Studio is the study. The private work stays inside until trust is sufficient.

Forms

Three forms. Three distances from a life.

These are not SaaS tiers. They are different ways of staying with material, time, and form.

Soul Extract

The file.

$99 one-time

A first reading from existing writing. SOUL.md and MEMORY.md can travel to any AI that should already know you.

Studio

The slow work.

Living authorship

An archive becomes a shaped body of work, not output. The work is read, arranged, and kept with more care.

Soul Atlas

The object.

By application

A commissioned atlas of a life. A shaped archive that can be read, kept, and passed on.

Lineages

Grounded enough to be serious. Literary enough to stay human.

The work sits beside life review, narrative practice, and legacy documents without pretending to replace care.

Literary lineage

Fragmentary autobiography.

Barthes. Brainard. Levé. Not because Soul Alchemy is trying to imitate books, but because it belongs to the same problem: how to let a life appear through fragments without pretending that continuity is the only honest form.

Method lineage

Mirror, not judge.

The frame keeps the work from collapsing into scoring, labeling, or optimization. It reads pattern without turning pattern into a verdict.

Output

Two plain-text files. One portable memory.

Soul Alchemy stays useful because the result is not trapped inside a single account. The files are simple enough to move and structured enough for AI to read.

SOUL.md

Voice, values, lifeline.

Direct. Structured. Prefers examples to labels. Recognition over scoring. Continuity over novelty.

MEMORY.md

Context, preferences, instructions.

Start with the answer. Keep the person larger than the system. Read before responding. Preserve voice. Do not score.

Begin

Start with Extract. Keep the deeper rooms in view.

The public product remains Extract. Studio and Atlas are there when the work needs more form, trust, and time.
