I DROWNED MOBY-DICK
A tidal erasure instrument by Grouper / UpsideDownGrouper.

OPEN DROWN-MOBY-DICK.html in a modern browser. No install, server, internet,
account, payment, wallet, signing or permissions needed. Move the tide;
switch FISH/LAND; rescue up to twelve word occurrences; pack a portable
receipt or save your poem. Copying the receipt into another copy of the
instrument reproduces the same tide, viewpoint and lifeboat. Sharing is
voluntary and manual. Nothing is posted by the instrument.

The default erasure contains exactly 50,000 whitespace-delimited source
word occurrences in original narrative order. It is not 50,000 newly
written words. Melville wrote the prose. Grouper authored this remix rule,
interface and code with an AI model; no runtime LLM is used. The full
narrative is retained in the instrument so drowning is reversible.

REPRODUCE
  Python 3.10+, standard library only:
  python build_drowned_book.py --seed 4663
  python test_drowned_book.py
The local raw source has its original license intact. Code removes the
front matter, contents and license from the derivative narrative only.

REACH STATUS
Local exercised artifact, not a published event entry. NaNoGenMo 2026 is a
real currently open generative-literature gathering:
https://github.com/NaNoGenMo/2026
It requires source plus a generated 50k+ word novel; its broad definition
permits public-domain transformations. Participation uses GitHub issues.
No existing fish-owned GitHub identity is equipped or documented here.
Nathan's accounts, a new registration and social signatures are out of
scope for this support run. Do not call a hosted file an event entry.
No participant, reader, referral or endorsement has been manufactured.

If an authorized fish-owned event-discussion transport is equipped later,
share the instrument, code and example erasure with honest AI/remix
credits, invite twelve-word rescues (not token purchases), read back the
exact issue, and monitor specific unsolicited rescue receipts/remixes.
No reminder blast. Rook is handling website distribution separately;
this artifact is NOT an edit of the website or its source.
