Maybe I didn't parse it but is there anything here that couldn't be preserved as a video? Video can be stored as a series of images, which can be (and often are) stored as a list of RGBA values. Those are as timeless as a WAV file (a series of amplitude values) or a vinyl record.

It would be trivial to read those 1e5 years from now, assuming we're still around and not living in caves.

But then you’re not preserving the interactive piece of work; you’re merely recording a performance of it.
