One document, five interfaces, on a selector — because the word processor never settled on what writing is. Type once and switch eras: your words become control-key chords in WordStar, a visible code stream in WordPerfect, a page you click into on the Mac, a thing the ribbon-and-squiggle judges in Word, and a centered Markdown column with the chrome stripped away in the modern minimal. Nietzsche, who took up a writing ball in 1882 as his sight failed, found his prose turning terse, and noted that our writing tools work on our thoughts too. The selector is that idea, made playable.
