The Codex Engine

How it Works

The Codex Humani engine algorithmically calculates your historical coordinate based on demographic data spanning back to 1 AD. Taking the scientifically backed baseline estimate of 117 Billion total humans who have ever lived, the engine factors in historical population curves, regional birth densities, and a cryptographic hash of your unique identity to pinpoint your more precise coordinate in human history.

Because the human population continues to grow, our global counter actively ticks at an average real-time rate of 4.3 births per second. Your more precise coordinate is mathematically unique to your name, birthplace, and date of birth.
