Local research state
Theme preference, Reading Mode, saves, path progress, comparisons, and personal unreviewed edges may be stored in this browser's localStorage. They are not authentication tokens and are not sent to a server by the application.
Clearing site data removes this local state. Browsers can block or clear storage; every reading and research route remains usable without it.
No simulated account
Sign-in and cloud account features are not active in this static phase. The interface does not claim that local saves are synchronized, backed up, private against other users of the same browser profile, or available on another device.
External sources
Opening an external source leaves Ancient Inquiry and becomes subject to that publisher's privacy and access practices. External links are visibly identified and restricted to normal web URLs.
