Sisken's method. A card per claim, the citation and the condition of the citation on separate lines, and a discipline that made "carded but not seen" the tradition's standard formula for something resting on somebody's word.lore/carding · loop, lore, practice, sources

A machine kept running solely to observe, holding nothing. Began as the GRAVEWALKER servers, became a general term, and is the tradition's most exported idea — the one thing outsiders adopted without knowing where it came from.lore/listening-posts · loop, lore, plant, practice

Record the plant, not the person" produced a tradition that cannot name its own participants. What that habit cost, who it removed, and why the removal is not evenly distributed.lore/the-unnamed · historiography, loop, lore, practice
