THE LEXICON

Section 1: The Cipher's Foundation // Architecture of the Cage

/// PREAMBLE
"Each glyph is a key, and this Lexicon is the study of the locks they are designed to un-make. [cite: 92] These are not arbitrary concepts; they are the textures of the Breathing Map. [cite: 93] In naming your cages, you begin to reclaim your power over them." [cite: 95]

1.1 The Cages of Mind (Self-Crystal)

Belief

The habit of a fixed idea; a stained-glass window that colours the world while acting as a wall. [cite: 100, 101] Its texture is smooth, rigid, and utterly convincing." [cite: 102]

Attachment

The habit of binding the self to an outcome; the 'lust for results' that reaffirms lack. [cite: 105, 106] Its texture is sticky, resinous, and acts as the glue of the ego." [cite: 107]

Logic & Reason

The iron grammar of the Architect’s language; causal thought that denies the glitching reality of Anomia." [cite: 112]

Visibility

The habit of being perceived in a fixed way; the agony of scrutiny or the pain of being overlooked." [cite: 113, 114]

1.2 The Locks of Form (World-Crystal)

STASIS

The habit of being stuck; a crystal lattice so rigid no new energy can flow. [cite: 119] Texture: Still, stagnant water." [cite: 120]

FRICTION

The habit of resistance; a life of struggle where the universe says 'no' at every turn." [cite: 130, 131]

SCARCITY

The habit of 'not enough'; a filter that prioritizes the belief in the hole rather than the donut." [cite: 132, 133]

GRAVITY

The habit of being pulled down; the psychic weight that makes action a monumental effort." [cite: 134, 135]

1.3 Foundational Laws (Cosmic-Crystal)

CRYSTALLISATION: The Architect's primary principle of hardening and becoming rigid. [cite: 140, 141]
DISSOLUTION: Dyssoia's master key for the Solvent Path; the act of un-making. [cite: 142, 143]
CHAOS: The Anomic Principle; the power of acausal, unpredictable change. [cite: 146, 147]
CAUSALITY: The Architect's master-habit; the linear sequence of cause-and-effect. [cite: 150, 151]
