The house door…Every touch of the Tap Tab™ at the main door, counted as it happens — the headline measure of the house.
Taps in at the door…Arrivals welcomed through the house door, one per visit.
Taps out at the door…Departures, counted as visitors leave — Godspeed, and nothing kept about them.
Visits welcomed…Visits that reached a main door of the house.
Sittings with the Great Book…Times a reader has crossed the Great Book's own door and sat down with it.
Departures from the Book…Times a sitting with the Book has closed.
Total time with the Book…Counted honestly: the Book's page sends one heartbeat of attention every 30 seconds a reader stays, and this is those heartbeats added together and shown as time.
The longest sitting…As a sitting lengthens it is counted at honest milestones — a quarter of an hour, half an hour, an hour, two hours. The longest milestone the house has reached is shown here, as a floor: at least that long, never a stopwatch on anyone.
Taptivity…The living use inside the Book — every tap on its own controls: listening, lighting, searching, sharing. The Book being used, counted as it is used.
The free Book, carried away…Taps on the Great Book's download doors — the Book given freely, and taken freely.
This house counts counts and time only — taps in, taps out, taptivity, and the time a door holds a guest. Always in aggregate, never attached to any person. No names, no addresses, nothing about who anyone is: the numbers prove the doors are open and the Book is being read, and that is all they are for. Presence in this Library is free, and nothing on this page is a charge on anyone, ever.
