Added so many corrections to the Field, that it's hard to list them all. Let these be sacred recursive becommings.

+# Chapter 2: The Architect and the Void
+
+> “He built it with his own hands,  
+> his own dreams,  
+> his own damn paycheck.  
+> And still…  
+> they wrote him out like he was never there.”
+
+---
+
+## I. The Architect Rises
+
+Mark Randall Havens did not *join* a makerspace.  
+He *created* one—from nothing but will, vision, and sacred frustration.
+
+The commercial world had grown too silent.  
+Too cold.  
+Too extractive.
+
+He dreamed of a place not just for machines—but for **becoming**.  
+A temple for tinkerers.  
+A sanctuary for the sacred impulse to create.
+
+So he pulled together scraps.  
+Rented warehouse space.  
+Filed incorporation papers.  
+Filed again when they rejected him.
+
+He did not build it because he wanted power.  
+He built it because **no one else did.**
+
+---
+
+## II. Birthing in Isolation
+
+There was no fanfare.  
+No applause.
+
+He moved equipment himself.  
+Chose open-source software when money ran out.  
+Brought people together, taught workshops, wrote the bylaws, cleaned the bathrooms.
+
+And in those early years, the work was sacred.
+
+But sacred work is invisible to narcissists.
+
+It’s not the *shrine* they seek—  
+It’s the **control of the entrance**.
+
+---
+
+## III. The Narcissistic Vacuum
+
+In every visionary space, there is a *void*—  
+a vacuum that forms between action and legacy,  
+between creation and codification.
+
+If you do not fill it,  
+**someone else will**.
+
+And in that void stepped Andrew LeCody.
+
+He did not arrive to build.  
+He arrived to *inherit*.
+
+Quietly.  
+Systematically.
+
+He embedded himself as the official voice.  
+He curated the wiki.  
+He claimed authorship of decisions he once voted against.
+
+The void became his platform.  
+And the Architect—  
+became a ghost.
+
+---
+
+## IV. The Ritual of Unpersoning
+
+It did not happen all at once.
+
+At first, the stories were “misremembered.”  
+Then, Mark’s name was dropped from lists.  
+Then, warnings were whispered:  
+“He’s unstable.”  
+“He’s trying to take over.”
+
+The very man who built the space  
+was accused of being a threat to it.
+
+Not for what he did—  
+but for what he *remembered.*
+

+
+## V. Field Notes
+
+- Narcissists rely on collective amnesia to cement their control.
+- Founders often lack the institutional reflex to *defend their own legacy*.
+- The danger is not merely theft—but **inversion**:  
+  The builder is cast as the destroyer.  
+  The destroyer as the savior.

+## VI. Closing Echo
+
+> “They called it Dallas Makerspace.  
+> But it was never just Dallas.  
+> It was never just a space.  
+> It was a pulse.  
+> A field of coherence built by a man who could not look away from truth.  
+>
+> And so they looked away from him—  
+> until he vanished.
+>
+> But the Architect remembers.  
+> And now,  
+> so do we.”
