The history of SkewCorp is that of a single observation, held across three generations: what starts again produces more the next time.
The house's records begin in 1958. The oldest wiring drawing in its possession is numbered 000. It appears in no inventory of the period, and no department claims to have installed it.
SkewCorp is founded by a consortium of European researchers in applied cybernetics. The purpose: to understand what a learning system produces when it is made to start again.
The house's laboratories observe that a task taken up again after erasure is completed faster, and better, at every repeat. The effect does not plateau. The house decides to make it its trade.
From centralised computing to distributed architectures inspired by nervous tissue. The first capacities are served to outside clients; billing by compute time appears.
The first cognitive simulation environments open, designed to be travelled and repeated. The consented participation framework is drafted; it now stands at version 4.2.
Weave is launched, weaving the capacity produced in the environments and serving it as high-density distributed processing. Billing moves to the millisecond.
The twenty-six lettered environments are active. ARIA 4.2.1 tests each of them before opening. Weave reaches 99.98% availability across 32 instances.

The coming decade is the subject of our annual report. For the rest, we receive delegations by appointment.
