Research in the AI era starts like a game
Some people play,
everyone can watch
Renascience turns post-paper scholarship into playable, watchable, joinable knowledge objects: you set direction, AI plays the turns, reports become versions; audiences propose, vote, and tip as part of the research floor.

Four ways to play
Research can be played like a turn-based strategy game, a visual novel, a lane battle, or narrated while the AI plays.
♟️
Turns
Give orders, let AI play a turn, read the report, choose a branch.
📖
Story
Mostly watching and choosing; rewind after a failure.
🌊
Lanes
AI pushes dozens of turns overnight; you adjust strategy in the morning.
🎙️
Cast
You narrate while AI plays and the audience chats.
One work, six doors
The same knowledge object, entered through six doors: public, learners, peers, replicators, oversight, and AI.
The paper is a gateway, not a boundary. Science should be playable, watchable, and joinable.
Manifesto v0.5 (September 2026) absorbs the 2026 mathematics debate — the Leiden Declaration, the Fields medallists' misalignment statement, an amateur solving a 60-year-old problem with AI — and states thirteen theses. The interactive edition adapts to its audience and doubles as our pitch.
Three pieces
Wendao is the game client, the platform is the arena and archive, the journal is the season's best-of.
Prototype
Wendao
A turn-based research engine: program file, AI party, reports, saves, branches, audience; one-click packaging to the platform.
LiveCuration platform
Every work is a seven-layer knowledge object; JSON-LD, Markdown views, llms.txt, version timelines, and AI disclosure are live.
In preparationThe journal
A magazine-style season's best: online issue plus print-grade PDF; first issue, After Papers.
