Atlantic Hinge
Halifax learns to run on the quarter-hour: lamps shaded at wheel height, passes stamped in a public cone, powder on the hour under escort. Procedure becomes character; character becomes policy.
Survival isn’t a mood. It’s a method.
A shared alternate history told in two braids: Atlantic Hinge (Halifax keeps the coast by lamps and bells) and Divided Republic (the U.S. takes the rivers by watches and rails). Together they form Crown & Republic.
Divided Republic
The United States professionalizes: ledgers, watches, bridges. Logistics is manoeuvre; silence is a weapon. A night-bridge at Niagara proves the method.
