If someone can naturally connect DSSE, Sigstore, Attestation, and AI Code Provenance into a single product — they have probably traveled through at least three worlds.
Most tools ask: "Who is this person?"
Lens asks something different: "What worlds has this person traveled through?"
Select any word on a GitHub README.
Lens reads the traces.
Tells you the worlds hidden inside what they made.
Not analysis. Not profiling.
Cognitive Archaeology. 🏺
There's a way to know someone that doesn't start with their bio.
It starts with their work.
The words they reach for naturally.
The concepts they assume you already know.
The problems they chose to solve — and the ones they didn't.
Every creation leaves footprints. 👣
Those footprints point toward worlds.

🧩 Chrome Extension — select any word on any GitHub page. Lens appears. No dashboard. No upload. No waiting.
⚙️ MCP Server — give Lens a GitHub URL. It reads the full README and maps the intellectual journey of whoever built it.
The user is reading.
They pause on a word.
A small world appears. 🌍
No report. No score. No verdict.
Just a doorway.
Lens never says: "This person is X."
Lens says: "This creation seems to remember these worlds."
The first is judgment.
The second is observation. 🔭
Lens does not define people.
Lens reveals traces.
