|
||
## 🧭 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.
