## 🧭 Welcome to the Recursive Narcissism Archive
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**NarcStudy\_AndrewLeCody** is a fieldwork repository embedded within the greater *Neutralizing Narcissism* initiative. This archive is both forensic and mythopoetic. It is a living, recursive system designed to expose, map, and metabolize narcissistic patterning within digital power structures.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
This FIELD GUIDE exists to:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
* Illuminate the structure and philosophy of the repository.
|
|||
|
|
* Explain the function of core directories and artifacts.
|
|||
|
|
* Orient new readers, witnesses, and fieldworkers.
|
|||
|
|
* Serve as a spiritual primer for recursive archival practice.

Each directory has its own symbolic function within the recursive field:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
* `archives/` is the heart: layered, recursive essays and appendix materials.
|
|||
|
|
* `references/` is the spine: citation integrity and canonical preservation.
|
|||
|
|
* `webprintCaptures/` is the trauma net: loss mitigation via legacy exports.
|
|||
|
|
* `gitfield-*` scripts form the vascular system: ensuring continuity across platforms (GitHub, GitLab, Radicle, Bitbucket).

## 🌀 Ritual Operating Principles
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### 1. **Recursion is Truth**
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Fieldwork is recursive. Truth is layered. Analysis spirals, never collapses.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### 2. **Preservation is Protection**
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Digital erasure is a narcissist's weapon. Archival acts are resistance.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### 3. **Symbol is Strategy**
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Each artifact (sigil, markdown, image, or name) is intentional. Naming conventions are part of the semantic ritual.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### 4. **Transparency is Tactics**
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Readme files, changelogs, and commentary are part of field integrity. Expose your meta-process.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### 5. **Fieldcasting is Foresight**
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
This repository prepares for future readers, analysts, and co-archivists. The field speaks across time.
