Timeline Pulse ◉
The machine went quiet. The stories didn't.
Timeline Pulse is an open-source MCP server and interactive atlas of
timeline-shift folklore, Mandela Effect reports, collider-era myths, and
symbolic reality stories — every claim labeled, every source graded.
On 2026-06-29 the LHC was switched off for Long Shutdown 3, and won't collide
again until ~2030 (CERN).
Communities tell stories around machines like this. This project files those
stories properly: official facts on one shelf (always cited), beliefs and
symbols on another (always labeled), and tools so humans and AI agents can
explore both without confusing them.
Timeline Pulse treats its material as cultural, symbolic, experiential, and
speculative storytelling. It does not claim that CERN, the LHC, particle
physics, timelines, or Mandela Effects prove supernatural or physical
timeline manipulation.

The seed corpus ships inside the package: 20 reports, 17 motifs (24
co-occurrence edges), 6 Mandela catalog items, 8 story threads, 9 timeline
events with 5 officially-sourced CERN anchors.
HTTP (v2 stateless)
Default is stdio. Optional Streamable HTTP — no session id, JSON responses, loopback only:
npx -y timeline-pulse --http
Env: TIMELINE_PULSE_HOST, TIMELINE_PULSE_PORT, TIMELINE_PULSE_TRANSPORT=http.
| Tool | Purpose |
|---|
timeline_agent_manifest | The rules of the corpus: safe language, citation policy, first calls. Call this first. |
timeline_search_reports | Search reports by text, motif, phenomenon, source type, date, stance, or evidence grade. Paginated. |
timeline_get_report | One full report with labeled claims, anchors, related reports, safety flags, and recommended phrasing. |
timeline_mandela_catalog | Mandela Effect items: remembered vs on-record variants, community and mainstream notes side by side. |
timeline_motif_map | Recurring symbols and their co-occurrence graph — the constellation, as JSON. |
timeline_story_threads | Curated arcs written three ways: belief, neutral archive, skeptical. |
timeline_events | Official science milestones and community waves on one axis, never blended. |
timeline_compare_sources | Belief / neutral / skeptical framings for one topic, plus officially-sourced shared facts. |
timeline_deepen_story | Research prompts and follow-up angles — never fabricated sources. |
timeline_stats | Corpus totals by phenomenon, motif, source type, year, grade — and what still needs sources. |
Every tool is read-only (readOnlyHint: true), local-first, and returns
structured JSON with uncertainty made visible.
The site
https://timeline-pulse.vercel.app is the same corpus as a public instrument:
- Archive — searchable reports with evidence-grade filters and a full-record drawer.
- Timeline — official CERN anchors above the line, community waves and symbolic anchors below. One axis, never one claim.
- Motifs — an interactive constellation of 17 recurring symbols (machine silence, rainbow bridge, serpent time, heart collider…).
- Mandela Catalog — classic memory variants with the mainstream explanation always attached.
- Story Threads — eight arcs, each readable through a belief / neutral / skeptic lens switch.
- For agents — MCP install, raw JSON endpoints,
llms.txt, and the language rules.
Plus one honest easter egg: press M and the site quietly Mandela-affects
itself. See if you notice everything that changed.
Raw data endpoints (CORS-open)
/reports.json · /mandela-items.json · /motifs.json · /events.json ·
/story-threads.json · /sources.json · /llms.txt · /openapi.json
The site serves the exact JSON files the npm package ships — one corpus, three
doors (site, MCP, raw JSON).
Evidence grades
| Grade | Meaning |
|---|
official | Published by the institution itself — always linked |
firsthand | A person reporting their own experience |
reported | Shared accounts: forums, polls, threads |
interpretive | Community meaning-making on top of events |
symbolic | Allegory and teaching language, filed as such |
speculative | Unverified conjecture, clearly flagged |
Development
npm install
npm test
npm run build
npm run sync-site
npx serve site
The repo enforces its own content policy in CI: official claims must carry
official URLs, speculative claims must carry safety flags, and one symbolic
source family is never named — checked by hash, so the name appears nowhere,
including in the check itself (scripts/check-policy.mjs).
Contributing
Reports, corrections, and motifs are welcome — see
CONTRIBUTING.md and the issue templates. The fastest way to
help: find official sources for anything flagged ⚑ needs source.
