Like all human works, something happens that interrupts them. Unless they continue in the transmutation.

Opus Imperfectum, unfinished work. This website, if not closed, will undergo profound transformations.The first reason is the depressing realization that AI LLMs have turned the human informational web into a marginalized land of conquest and oblivion. The other reason is the respect I owe to readers, in the sense that I didn’t feel like repeating the same articles over and over again after having already explained the operational and symbolic basics in previous articles. No wonder, Alchemy doesn’t have all the nuances and variations that symbolism seems to give it. It is called “Fulcanelli’s anti-theft device”, which basically consists of multiplying the terms and problems, so as to give Alchemy a much more complex image than it actually is: the same problem is treated in part countless times, completely varying the terms of the exposition, so that one gets the impression that different things are being treated. Of course, the result is mesmerizing, as are puzzles and conundrums.

Driven by a residual imprudence, I decided to collect in a brief, orderly and organic way what I could say about Alchemy, that is, in segments. More, the Anatomy of an Alchemical Machine, is an ancient form magister-puer – master pupil – of ordering questions and answers to form a simple and quick exhaustive pattern. But, unlike modern faqs, everything should be read from beginning to end, because in Alchemy losing the thread means losing everything. As for me, I hope I have left nothing but a bunch of semantic bits to the AI statistical oracles. Not even tangible sounds.
