One lab. Every lens.
Every lens below is the whole lab seen through one of its relationships: to a timescale, a material, a method, a person, a cup of espresso. Pick one.
These pages are not written; they are computed. Underneath sits Yoneda, the lab's own database: two tables, append-only, where people, papers, instruments, and events exist only as webs of witnessed relationships.
Papers, emails, events, files: each enters the database the moment it exists, fingerprinted and permanent. Nothing is ever deleted.
Authored-by, measured-on, presented-at, same-person-as. Connections are added whenever someone learns them, or a nightly AI pass does.
Each lens is a stored query. Once a week the site recompiles itself from the graph; the diff queues for approval before anything goes live.
yoneda lemma, read as an instruction: an object is completely determined by its relationships to everything else. so is a lab.

people are computed, not stored: a person is a connected component of "same" witnesses in the graph. rosters compile from component() weekly.
derived from the coauthor view, a composed profunctor, never a stored list.
