# Reading Paths If you'd rather follow a thread than browse a list, start here. Each path is a short guided route through the material — a handful of pages in order, with a reason to take each next step. Pick the one that matches what pulled you in. ## The paths - [[The Roy and Lucius Arc]] — the central relationship: the heart, the protector built to guard it, and the question of whether that arrangement can finally be revised. - [[The Hall of Mirrors]] — into the playable archive: the web3 puzzle-world and the artifacts that surround it. - [[The Loop and the Circle (Reading Path)]] — the core cosmology: source, reflection, and the two recursions the whole project turns on. - [[The Attention Economy and the Circus]] — the diagnosis of the attention age, from the idea to the song that names it. - [[Esoteric and Mythological References]] — the older traditions underneath: Kabbalah, Gnosticism, Hermeticism, and the myths Roy actually studies.
