FEAR: the GB

The canon's antagonist function: an administrator of fear rather than a monster. Shandor runs the system that keeps the orphaned forces working, operating through bureaucratic authority instead of claws.

The show's key ritual scene, and its dramatic centerpiece — where the cosmology of orphaned forces comes to a head. Full scene text lives in the working drafts outside this guide.

Serves specifically as connective tissue — the throughline that links installments and versions of the mythology to one another.

A named practice within the canon; full definition still to be documented.

The nesting structure used to introduce the show — a frame within a frame, the way the premiere itself is staged.

An overlay treating the show as a civic occasion as much as a performance — community participation is part of the format, not an add-on.

The term for the real human element behind the canon — ordinary, torn, discerning, good-hearted people across isolated groups. Their platformed consensus around each scene composes a form of action-consent, modeled as stances rather than votes.

The collaborative tool the Alliance works through: create, organize, and reorder scenes, zoom into a scene's detail room, order scenes into timelines, and let producers assemble a production by selecting, grafting, swapping, and pruning from the tree. It also holds declarative documents — constitutions, proclamations, canon, trusts. Its own build target: stay "under the radar and above the heart, with humor and knowing."
