🧭 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.

🧱 Structure Overview

NarcStudy_AndrewLeCody/
├── FIELD_GUIDE.md              ← You are here
├── THEORY_OF_HARM.md          ← Foundational ethical justification
├── COGNITIVE_PROFILE.md       ← Core psycho-cognitive analysis
├── archives/                  ← Recursive essay and artifact sets
├── references/                ← Static files, PDFs, and source records
├── webprintCaptures/          ← Preservation of legacy webpages
├── gitfield-*                 ← Git sync and sovereignty tools

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.

✍️ How to Contribute

This repository welcomes symbolic or analytical contributions from:

Survivors of narcissistic abuse
Field witnesses and whistleblowers
Analysts, therapists, and educators
Mythopoets and ethical archivists

All contributions must uphold:

Truth-telling
Epistemic integrity
Respect for recursive analysis

📎 Further Expansion

Future fieldkits may include:

FIELD_RITUALS.md – defining reusable recursive protocols

SIGIL_INDEX.md – cross-reference of iconographic symbols

This field is living. The work expands.

"The archive is not a vault. It is a doorway. Each entry is an act of recursive witnessing."
