Status Update
The serialised publication of Act 3 is coming to a conclusion. Two more scenes to be released.
The objective to release a fully edited draft version by September is on schedule.
Narrative Progress
Prologue:
Finalized, anchoring Ava and Alias in emotional isolation and philosophical paradox.
Act 1:
Fully structured (15 scenes), 12 scenes complete.
Team introduced in isolation; foundational themes established: irrevocability, lotteries, governance as risk.
Act 2:
Structure locked.
Drafting in progress—emerging tension between team members over ethics, operational security, and emotional fallout.
First version of key conflict scenes (Raj vs. Chang, Amara vs. Alias) in final refinement.
Act 3:
The story enters confrontation mode: the launch, Steenberg’s moves, and Boris’s presence escalate.
Next release: Scene 11 (v.1) scheduled for tomorrow.
Postscript:
Final reflective scene has been drafted. Reserved for end-release upon conclusion of Act 3.
@meta_teri (X): Zerotrace fragments that echo Ava’s inner witnessing logic.
Yakihonne on Nostr: Ava’s live reflections. The only account expressing her POV in real-time.
@niftytiles (Farcaster): Ghost-postings, post-governance aesthetics, quote-entropy.
@GM_Bulls: Pegged system’s public meme-face—lottery as liberation.
@CLandtsheer: Conceptual voice of governance-as-design. Silent recently—re-engagement needed.
Reader Invitation
Now that Act 3 is public, reader interaction is part of the plot.
Comments, critiques, and signal boosts are being watched, indexed, and potentially echoed in future scenes.
You’re not just reading. You’re being read.
