About Inkwire

What is here

Sixteen entries, in two families. The fallacy entries give each error a name (usually with the Latin or standard scholarly label), a definition, three identification signals, a real quoted example, a counter-example block, and links to kindred errors. The puzzle entries give a problem statement, a three-column table of conditions and what each one forces, and a complete case analysis.

Both families use the same three fixed segments: NAME, SIGNALS, EXAMPLES. The point of the fixed shape is that once you have read one entry you can read any of them without relearning the page.

Why it looks like a terminal

Because almost everything here is text. A monospaced face keeps quoted sentences, truth tables and binary strings in vertical alignment, and removing cards, shadows and rounded corners leaves nothing on the page except content.

Pages are addressed directly by URL. There is no sidebar, no breadcrumb trail beyond the single line at the top, and no menu to open. The registry on the front page walks with j and k and opens with enter.

Entries are released in batches

Nothing is published all at once. Entries carry a release date and are added a few at a time; before that date an entry has no page, is absent from the listing, and is absent from the sitemap. The registry grows instead of arriving finished.

Who writes it

A small editorial project. Examples are chosen for checkability — documented historical episodes, published statistics, statements that can be traced. Every puzzle solution ships with its argument rather than just its answer, and the tempting-but-wrong move is named explicitly, because that is the step worth learning.

Corrections and counter-examples go to [email protected]. Adopted corrections are published with the revision date attached.

Scope

This is reference material for reading and teaching. It is about the form of arguments, not about verdicts on particular people, organisations or positions, and it is not legal, medical, financial or other professional advice. Claims quoted in examples are there to display the structure of an argument and are not endorsements.
