The Gluten Project started with irritation.

Institutions said things that didn’t hold, and nobody seemed to bother or check.

It bothered me, so I started checking. At first with frustration, now with a method.

The name comes from gluten: what binds. Here it stands for the claims that hold a society together. This project tests whether they actually hold. And then you can raise the question: is it true?

Hobbes put it plainly: auctoritas, non veritas, facit legem. Authority, not truth, makes law.

This project works from the other side. Veritas vincit: truth prevails.

Test the claim first, and you will see which Latin rule is at work.
