We look forplaces wherethe world doesn't line up.
Square Wave is a small research company. We find gaps in things (a seam in a wall, a room that doesn't fit) and write them down carefully. Then we try not to fall in.
What a gap is
A gap is anywhere reality was stitched a little loosely. Most of them are harmless, and some of them are useful. A few turn out to be quite rude. We keep a list, and we go back to check on the ones that worry us.
If you have to squint to see it, it probably counts.
How we work
- Notice.
Most gaps announce themselves quietly: a draft from a closet, a doorway that's too easy to pass through. We walk slowly and keep a pencil.
- Write it down before it moves.
Measurements, a sketch, who was there, what the light was doing. In pencil, on paper. Paper has not been affected yet.
- Put it back where we found it.
We mark the spot and leave. Every so often, somebody goes back to see how it's doing. It is very difficult to "move" a gap.
Found one?
Tell us where it was and roughly when, in your own real words. Measurements are welcome and photos are optional. Please don't attach the gap.
Write to the field office We read everything. We reply to some of it. If you don't hear back, it's probably fine.
