The Mythoi record: world myths with receipts. Tools return envelopes carrying source_ids and receipt_url — pass receipts through verbatim. An empty successful result is the only thing that licenses 'not attested'.
Known tools 15
attestation_searchFind where a motif lives in the served texts, three lanes in one call: curated attestations (quotable as filed), wired_citations (Thompson's own citation resolved to an exact served chapter — open it with episode_lookup and quote the text), and computed_leads (keyword matches, ~half real — open, confirm the motif is actually in the episode, silently drop the misses).
Potential side effectstradition_profileProfile a tradition's shelf: its works, episode counts, and how many motif attestations are filed against it.
Inferred read-onlymotif_neighborsThe knowledge graph around one motif: the traditions Thompson filed it under (his index apparatus, ~49k labeled citations), its place in the index hierarchy, his curated cross-references ('travels with'), ATU tale types, the served episodes it is attested in ('attested_in' — live receipted attestations only, each row carrying its own source_ids and receipt, so a graph walk ends at readable text), and a separately labeled bounded computed co-occurrence layer ('keeps company with').
Inferred read-onlycompare_traditionsTHE STITCH, as one call: every witness of a motif AND its child motifs (the whole story-shape family), grouped by tradition — curated attestations, wired Thompson citations resolved to served chapters, and the top computed leads (read-and-discard applies).
Inferred read-onlymyth_timelineTHE LONG AXIS: the same witnesses as compare_traditions but ordered by composition era, oldest first — watch a story-shape move through time from clay tablet to novel.
Inferred read-onlycommentary_searchTHE SYMBOLIZE LANE: full-text search restricted to the commentary shelves — early psychology (Jung 1916, Freud), comparative scholarship (Tylor, Harrison, Frazer), and the alchemical corpus.
Inferred read-onlyepisode_searchFull-text search across the complete text of EVERY served episode — all works, all traditions, all shelves at once (primary myth, literary, commentary, alchemical; each hit labeled by work_class).
Inferred read-onlytale_type_lookupLook up ATU tale types — the plot-skeleton index (Aarne–Thompson–Uther).
Inferred read-onlylibrary_quoteQuote from the OWNED research library: mythoi's own shelf first (new acquisitions like Thompson's revised Motif-Index), then seba's across the seam (Jung CW, Campbell, Hillman, von Franz, Edinger).
Inferred read-onlyconsult_the_recordConsult the philological record at logoi.health — the sibling house of WORDS (audited ancient-language corpus: lemmas, passages, concordances, lexicon senses).
Inferred read-onlyconsult_the_analystsCONSULT THE ANALYSTS — the estate's depth-psychology commentary shelf (the oracle the seba house reads: Jung's collected works, von Franz, Hillman, Edinger, Neumann and kin).
Inferred read-onlylibrary_lookupSearch the family research library's holdings (the seba house) by author or title.
