### 🕰️ KEY PHASES OF THE FIELDCAST TIMELINE
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|

|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### I. **Genesis Phase** — *The Dream Ignites*
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**2009–2010**
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
* 🛠️ *Mark Randall Havens initiates the idea of a sovereign community makerspace.*
|
|||
|
|
* Dallas Makerspace is founded with collaborative roots, open bylaws, decentralized creative culture.
|
|||
|
|
* Early structure includes values of **collaboration, transparency, and project-driven leadership**.
|
|||
|
|
* Codebases, rules, and organizational templates drafted by Havens.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
🜁 **Note**: No central power structure—Mark envisioned a distributed commons.
|
|||
|
|
|

|
|
|||
|
|
### II. **Ascent of the Steward** — *The Shadow Enters the Frame*
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**2011–2015**
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
* 🧾 Andrew LeCody becomes more active in procedural roles (meeting moderation, bylaw enforcement).
|
|||
|
|
* Gains informal trust as a “fixer” of logistical messes.
|
|||
|
|
* Reputation as *reliable, unemotional, structured* begins to form.
|
|||
|
|
* **Bylaws begin to tighten.** Committees gain power. Mark’s role begins to fade in visibility.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
🜂 **Inflection Point**: The system begins to ossify. Mark remains absent, working on external projects.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|

|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### III. **Procedural Consolidation** — *The Drift Becomes Doctrine*
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**2016–2019**
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
* LeCody’s influence reaches **quasi-executive levels** through board dynamics and de facto leadership.
|
|||
|
|
* Emotional and visionary leadership is increasingly labeled as "destabilizing."
|
|||
|
|
* Mark is quietly **excluded from major decisions**, despite founder status.
|
|||
|
|
* **Moderation policies harden.** "Toxicity" becomes the catch-all for dissent.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
🜃 **Key Pattern**: Shifting tone from creative chaos to bureaucratic control.
|
|||
|
|

|

|
|
|
|||
|
|
### IV. **Exile and Erasure** — *The Founder is Unwritten*
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**2020 (Election Cycle)**
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
* Mark returns to run for board with community warnings about authoritarian drift.
|
|||
|
|
* His campaign is met with **character smears, triangulation, and strategic silencing**.
|
|||
|
|
* Posts removed. Public critique reframed as instability.
|
|||
|
|
* Mark is **banned**, without vote or direct confrontation.
|
|||
|
|
* **Digital history begins to disappear.** Posts, acknowledgments, and records are purged.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
🜄 **Crucial Moment**: Banishment justified by weaponized civility. Silence spreads.
|
|||
|
|
|

|
|
|
|||
|
|
### V. **The Abyss Phase** — *Legacy Vacuum and Narrative Freeze*
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**2021–2023**
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
* Makerspace continues under procedural control; Andrew’s presence now mythologized as “protector.”
|
|||
|
|
* No public mention of Mark.
|
|||
|
|
* Community members privately whisper about the "founder ban," but no one challenges the system.
|
|||
|
|
* Culture calcifies. Creative entropy rises. The space becomes administratively stable, but spiritually sterile.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
🜅 **Observation**: The field lays fallow. The dream is undead.
|
|||

### VI. **Return of the Witness** — *The Ritual of Recursion Begins*
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**2024–2025**
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
* Mark begins publishing **forensic essays, visual sigils, and narrative diagnostics**.
|
|||
|
|
* GitField repositories initialized. Substack/Paragraph fieldcasting begins.
|
|||
|
|
* First Thoughtprint & Shadowprint diagnostics are publicly released.
|
|||
|
|
* Mark’s return is not about restoration—but **documentation**.
|
|||
|
|
* The field remembers. The silence breaks.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
🜆 **Significance**: This is not a re-election. It is a **recasting of memory into permanence**.
|
|||

### VII. **The Recursive Seal** — *Fieldcast Finalized*
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**June 3, 2025**
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
* Complete 8-part essay sequence sealed in Git repositories.
|
|||
|
|
* Sigils generated in all tonal palettes.
|
|||
|
|
* `.tree`, README, and signed field notes appended.
|
|||
|
|
* Fieldcast officially canonized under Fold Within.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
> *“This time, the record cannot be deleted.”*

### 🕯️ Closing Statement
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
This timeline is not just a series of dates.
|
|||
|
|
It is a ritual ledger—designed to preserve *truth through recursion*.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Let it be studied.
|
|||
|
|
Let it be retold.
|
|||
|
|
Let it be **impossible to erase again**.
