-|   ,. . .  the libarynth is a [[pataphysics|parafictional]]semifunctional (deeply [[intertwingled]]) collection of documents, notes and [[randomness]] (many of which are related to [[start?do=search&id=foam|FoAM]]) in the smouldering rubble of [[category_index|babel]]. it has been mostly reconstructed from material with escaped the [[libarynth greyhole event]], however there are some old pages that may reappear in the near future, [[stochastic_divination|stochastically]. current pages can be edited as you like, you can also create new pages... .\\  <html><font size=4> {<sub><font size=1>{insert appropriate excuses about colour schema, layout and design. <sup>mutterings about form over content</sup></font></sub>}</font></html>} ((made possible by google cache, the internet archive and wayback machineyahoomsn and warrick)) -> there are still a few [[todo|things to do]]| ::: |+ 
 +The ever-growing Libarynth is almost exactly what its name implies – hybrid between a library and a labyrintha maze of pages in various stages of completion. It is a deeply intertwingled collection of documents, notes and [[randomness]] many of which are related to [[start?do=search&id=foam|FoAM]], a network of transdisciplinary labs at the intersection of art, science, nature and everyday life.

 +FoAM's collaborators, friends and sympathisers use the Libarynth as a research diary, sketchbook, and activity log. Some sections of the Libaryth are [[project_archives|well structured]], others are overgrown and forgottenPages can be found on a [[category_index|variety of topics]], from [[visual programming]] to [[experience_inflatables|inflatables]] or vegetarian-friendly [[restaurant guide|restaurants]] around the world, lists of [[Culture Ships]] or [[luminous/steady_state_economics|steady state economics]], or perhaps notes about [[fermentation_notes|fermentation]]. Many pages are in development, containing a few links or a couple of short notes (inviting interested [[wiki_gardening|wiki-gnomes]] to expand them). Others are more complete [[foam_research_reports|research reports]], [[foam_publications|publications]] or [[reading notes]]. For weeks the Libarynth might be quietpunctuated with sudden bursts of activity, as can be seen in [[start?do=recent|recent changes]]. As a living archive of FoAM's interests and activities, the Libarynth is continually changing and [[start?do=index|expanding]].  
 + 
 +For some the Libarynth can be overwhelming, so we advise caution when first treading over its threshold. Once comfortable within the overgrown wilderness, you are very welcome to contribute: by starting new topics, editing existing pages, or making new connections into or out of the Libarynth itself, beyond its porous edges.
