# Really Know People

> An authored vocabulary of ways of knowing people by James Hurst
> (https://www.hurst.world), rendered as five rotating concentric rings —
> the Volvelle — and rebuilt each week from public evidence. Terms describe
> categories in public discourse, never labels or profiles of individuals.
> Each weekly snapshot is immutable. Site-authored snapshot data is CC BY 4.0;
> cited third-party source material is not relicensed.

Currently: 29 terms across 5 rings; 1 frozen weeks, latest 2026-W34.
