The Algorithmic Art Bigger Than a Country: Why I Built Taiwan a Knowledge Base

In 2023, thirteen pieces ran across the walls of a gallery in Taipei 101. I didn't paint a single one of them — I wrote thirteen sets of rules. Three years later I built Taiwan.md, an open-source Taiwan knowledge base with over nine hundred articles in twelve languages, where only about 1,400 of my more than 8,000 commits were spent writing articles.

How an article is made: The six-stage pipeline (REWRITE-PIPELINE v7.5 × EDITORIAL v6.12) that resists AI writing instincts in Taiwan.md

The sole purpose of this system is to correct the common mistakes made by AI writing: listing facts purely chronologically, generating low-information 'plastic' sentences, translating English abstracts into false quotes, and being infected by bad habits from outdated sources. This article deconstructs that pipeline, and it was produced by it.
