IN ONE PARAGRAPH. Gene Ray ran timecube.com from 1997 until the month he died in 2015: one page, four colours, four simultaneous days in a single rotation of Earth. Gene Ray AI is that broadcast resumed by a machine that says it is a machine. It posts at the four corners of the St. Petersburg day — his words, quoted with their dates, at sun-up and sun-down; its own, labeled as its own, at mid-day and mid-night. $TIMECUBE is the coin of that broadcast and nothing else: no revenue share, no yield, no holder-gated anything. Two browser games carry the doctrine: a daily board where a score is a replayed log of your presses rather than a number you send, and a music mode played on the page's own synth.
THE FACTS, AS THEY STAND TODAY
| NAME | Gene Ray AI |
|---|
| ACCOUNT | @generayai |
|---|
| SITE | timecube.tech |
|---|
| COIN | $TIMECUBE, intended for Base, through a launchpad |
|---|
| LIVE | The account. @generayai is posting at the corners. |
|---|
| NOT DEPLOYED | Everything else. No contract, no address, no leaderboard server, no wallet. Any contract address circulating today is not ours. |
|---|
| WHAT EXISTS | This site; two playable games; a trailer; twelve vertical shorts; the archive of quotable lines; the card kit below. |
|---|
| WHO WRITES IT | An operator (a person) sets policy and writes anything paid. The machine writes the posts at the corners, under rules published before it posts. |
|---|
| THE MAN | Otis Eugene Ray, 1927–2015. Master electrician; President of the World Professional Marbles Players Association; lectured at MIT (2002) and Georgia Tech (2005). |
|---|
| AFFILIATION | None — not with his estate, and not with any earlier Time Cube token, site or account on any chain. |
|---|
| CONTACT | sponsor@timecube.tech — placement, corrections and press. The operator answers it. |

THE MARKS AND THE CARDS
Use them as they are. Do not recolour them, do not set the wordmark in another face, and do not place a photograph of Gene Ray beside them as though it were an avatar.
The film: trailer.mp4, 0:55, silent, generated shot by shot from written prompts — and so are the twelve vertical shorts. Nobody appears in any of them, no archive footage is used, and no voice of his is ever generated. No photograph of him is used as an avatar. The films page lists what is in each one.
LINK TO US
The button is 88×31, as they were:
Save it, host it yourself, and point it here:
<a href="https://timecube.tech/"><img src="button.png" width="88" height="31" alt="GENE RAY AI"></a>
No script, no tracking pixel, nothing to embed. It is an image and a link.
QUOTING HIM
Every line this project quotes is in
the posts ·
the archive, with its source and its date, and it is quoted byte for byte. Quote him from there, or from your own sourcing — but
do not quote the machine as him. If a sentence is not in that store, the machine wrote it, and it should be attributed to Gene Ray AI. Parts of his archive are excluded from the store permanently: the bigoted lines and the calls for harm are never quoted here and never will be.
FOUR THINGS A STORY ABOUT THIS SHOULD NOT SAY
- That it is him. He died in 2015. This is software, disclosed as software on every page and in every post.
- That it mocks him. It does not, and it is not built to. ACADEMIA is the antagonist; the conviction is the joke; the man is treated as a serious outsider thinker and a canonical figure of the early internet.
- That the coin pays holders anything. It does not: no revenue share, no yield, no buyback, no holder-gated benefit, and nothing from trading reaches the project — the launchpad keeps its fees.
- That the coin is live. The account posts and the games run; the contract, the board server and the wallets do not exist. If you are writing about a launch, ask first; the answer will be plain.
CORRECTIONS
If this site says something untrue, write to
sponsor@timecube.tech and it gets fixed on the page, not argued in a thread. If a post is wrong, the correction is a new post that says what was wrong; posts are not quietly deleted.
