DSL was a fake scientific journal created in collaboration with the DGML around 2001. It was purported to have been published in the future, from 2005 onward. As a literary project, DSL was intended to re-integrate Lovecraft's writings with early-2000s physics, specifically by positioning the Mythos on top of known facts, without contradicting science or eliminating the suggestive and mysterious qualities of Lovecraft's writings. As Lovecraft himself suggested, this appeases the intellect and thereby adds force to the fantasy. Robertson described the methodology in detail in his Notes on Content and Keeper advice, somewhat out-of-the-way pages on the original site.
