How the Layers Work

Method → series → game → technique / invariant.

Adapted from the original page. Grappling.Games did not write this. Sources.

This site’s information architecture is this stack:

  1. Method — why we design practice this way.
  2. Series / ladders — a scaffolded family of problems.
  3. Game — the representative activity you run tonight.
  4. Technique — names for solutions athletes discover.
  5. Invariant — the information that transfers when the game changes.

Navigate in either direction. A method page should land you on a series. A game should send you to the techniques and invariants it trains. An invariant should list every game that tests it.
