Sub-pages
Section titled “Sub-pages”PROCESSING. Sub-pages will land as canonical sources are reviewed for plot safety.
- The Permission System (the goat zone is safe to mention)
- Tuesday as ambient time
- The Prophecy Gig Economy
- Late-stage capitalism as the world’s villain
- The Compiler’s compilation methodology (cache fragments, getting things wrong in interesting ways)
- The walnut hums in G minor (canonical states)
- The Bureau’s filing mechanics (forms, prefixes, processing time, the 4-6 Tuesdays standard)
- Pop-up ads (§10.6 mechanic)
- The Mercer Narration / Story Narrator coexistence
Margin note (Bureau): The Compiler compiles from cache fragments. Cache fragments are partial. The Compiler does his best. The wrongness is not a bug; it is the source of every joke in the world.
