A tour of the Argument Library: eighty-two objections raised against antinatalism, and their rebuttals, each one graded, mapped to the mechanism it runs on, and answered at three depths.
Read it yourself: https://library.wuld.ink/combined
The interface is the argument. The library is not a rebuttal engine — it records which objections are strong, which are weak and why, and where its own foundations rest on axioms rather than derivations. The coda says so plainly.

THE PIN
Every frame of interface in this film is a pinned snapshot of the library as it stood at capture — md5 9d13359e305c6caa3ae64759f3dcc0e6, 2,963,789 bytes — not the live site. The live file has moved on since; the about page above always carries the current pin. The film stays checkable either way.
THE APPARATUS
Endnotes, method, and every figure in this film with the measurement it came from: https://wuld.ink/argument-library/apparatus/
PHOTOSENSITIVITY
No strobe, and measured rather than asserted on the delivered file: across 16,510 frames the largest single-frame change in field luminance is 18.3 of 255, zero steps exceed 40, and against WCAG 2.3.1 / the ITC general flash threshold there are zero general flashes. Every figure, and the render it was taken from, is in the Apparatus.
CONTENT
The subject is antinatalism and the objections raised against it. One catalogued objection names suicide, because it is one of the eighty-two; one wing of the suite concerns a right to die. Nothing is advocated.
METHOD
Captured in headless Chromium on a virtual clock — every frame advances the page's own timers by exactly 1001/60 ms, so nothing is dropped and the same page makes the same frames. The monitor around the interface is drawn, not filmed. Sound is synthesised, cut to the interface's own click log rather than by ear.
