To accomplish this quest we have agreed that this eidolon will embody the concept of an eidolon—whose cultural-equation and material assets are metaphysically linked to a physical decoder ring(Hypersigil) that can be transferred to successive generations of owners; jumping from actor to actor, author to author as deemed necessary or prudent. In order to better incentivize the Maneuver franchise towards intra-character coordination across time.
Making the argument thusly, that under this neo-accouterment, the eidolon can better satisfy it’s need for continuity, allowing the current owner to inherit a stable frame of reference with a historical reputation for team-making, capitalization, and negotiation; will still allowing the next heir to further evolve the persona’s gravitas to meet the circumstances and complexities of their own modernity. But when using this recursive, avant-garde brand that demonstrates loyalty to the concepts of truth, adventure and art. The current host/actor of the eidolonship must ensure that it continues to evolve in such a way that allows for its eventual transference to a succeeding ringbearer, as an artifact with a coherent goals, lore, vibes, and ethos.
We gather into this chain-of-authorship, not just out of the necessity to process information and resist the panopticons. But because it appears obvious to us that all human beings, even the post-modernists, have an innate biological need to assemble into socially compatible identities with expectation that they share consistent themes, settings and goals within an acceptable spectrum of variance(Status Functions). As it is well known in neurobiology, that stable brand-names produce mindfulness and reduce stress by appealing to the specific needs, interests & environments of the titles adherents(Self-Actualization + Social Interdependence + Scarcity = Identity Marker).
Resulting in a long-term theatrical performance that can conform to the first principles of social science(Hierarchy Of Causes), well also preserving the flame of imagination that has accompanied humanity since the dawn of history. This state-of-the-art deontology will combine the mobility of nonpartisanship and logical thinking(Consistency, Correspondence, Coherence) with the passion of emotion and romanticism(Metaphysics, Gamification, Hyperreality). To better satisfy the ideation’s instinctual need for informational protection, capital and consumption within the cross-cultural theme of archeofuturism. The later of which has the added benefit of being a useful tool for actionable decision-making, well also being adaptable enough to accommodate the plethora of other third-party identities of daily life needed to survive in the modern world. Such as nations, corporations, professions, families and brands every actor must also use during their lifetimes.
Thus it is hoped that this eidolon will provide it’s current and future actors with established supports and encouragements that increase confidence, boost agency and increase mental predictability. Allowing them to adapt to news-cycles with speed and decorum. By the maximization of cooperation, via the maximization of reciprocity —thru the circular process of encountering problems, hypothesizing theories and working towards solutions in personal or networked endeavors. Combined into both private and public pattern-recognition engines documenting the historical results of the mascot’s disputes/resolutions relating to said problems, hypothesizes and tests. And in this scientific journey(Testimony of Observations) by way of displays, words and deeds the current actor will be free to discover best practices, doctrines and protocols, by happy accident or deliberate research, with the end goal of using them to incrementally suppress dishonorable agents, bad incentives and disingenuous critics from his personal and professional retinue.
Thereby protecting the continuation of Maneuver’s preferred method of advancement. Which we define here as informational self-sacrifice for others, motivated foremost by the desire to contribute to the public commons for goodwill or publicity, by using evolutionary computation in a way that helps the rest of humanity in its never-ending quest to continuously and repeatedly disseminate information into stable relations that can withstand the effects of entropy. With the added potential to then afterwards compete for profit in the resulting market for goods and services. By increasing proximity, friendship and civil domestication within the limits of the reproductive division of labor, in an effort to fairly divide deeds of creativity between a string of chronological actors. And to continually safeguard any friends, memories or souvenirs derived from those feats and adventures.
As a foundation for this perpetual artwork, we will use the abstract conceptualization and metaphysical substrate of the pagan pantheon. Continuing and contributing to a rich tradition of worship unbroken from modern day to the ancient world; This diverse set of divine archetypes can better generalize and categorize a shared narrative well still linking consecutive actors and with a wide range of personal believes, and also maximize the potential for diplomacy with a wide variety of other cults/egregores/demiurges in the human hivemind. As the most important part of any eidolon’s portfolio, are the symbolic associations that refine its identity. A set of fictional thesis’s about the nature of life and its relation to the rest of the cosmos. Conveyed with a mythology that promotes a compelling vision to others thru the art of storytelling. Therefore, to increase Maneuver’s general luck and blessings, each ensuing actor to take on this mantle must be spiritually receptive to these myths from the modern and ancient world. The overarching purpose of adopting this historical/cinematic motif; will be to foster a positive cultural heritage for the mascot and his team. United by a shared destiny to carry the spark of truth, imagination and freedom to the stars, and preserve it there ever after.
It is our sincere belief that this eidolon and it’s neo-romantic method of communication, consisting of an esoteric cant of weights and measures, will provide a more creative way for each host to better interact and understand the world around them. Mutually sharing the pseudonym’s sensations, memories(Disambiguation>Auto-Association>Valuation), perceptions, attentions and accompanying recursions. Reconciled to a shared Markov-chain of reputational empathy in regards to Maneuver’s changing fortunes across the infoscape of movement, acquisition and partnership.
Thru this playful mix of reality and hyperreality, each subsequent performer can inherit an abstract but articulate mindset to wargame, parley and capitalize in good cheer, within the temple of entrepreneurial self-improvement. To better help them overcome their innate impulse to individual corruption, and instead focus on taking responsibly for the eidolon in a trustworthy manner. Using open-source teamwork whenever possible to balance the stressors of adaptation, and achieve feats of aesthetics in a safe and entertaining way. Well carefully measuring results with full spectrum accounting for all forms of capital, so as to ensure a proper courtship of the mandate-of-heaven in the main storyline.
Accordingly, at all times it is imperative that the current owner of the decoder ring be conscious of the ease with which they can either too much favor the expectations of traditional styles or the pioneering vision of new trends. This eidolon believes, that it's precisely the magnetic pull between that axis’s endpoints that allows innovation and modernization. Nonetheless, every holder of this trademark shall demonstrate awareness of the subversive elements that abound in the post-modern world both operationally and fictionally, fans must always be able to quote this eidolon thusly; that a subculture made for all, is made for none. Brand inclusivity must never be given to hostile actors or critics, regardless of how much they cry about it. And any future reforms will be gatekeeped with the knowledge, that failure to detect a threat, is the greatest threat.
Well operating/wearing this decoder ring your team, franchise and fandom must know that truth and honor is the surest way to earn Maneuver’s affections. People who hold money to be of greater value must have a lower place in his circle of advisers. And although the future debts and obligations of this eidolon may get complicated, it is imperative that each new host fights for their retinue’s interests first and foremost over any outside bribe or lobby. Consequently, all deeds and decrees done by Maneuver shall serve a dual purpose. So that, on the one hand, he may present himself as an archetypical example of the self-sacrifice that is to be expected from a team eidolon. But, on the other hand, to cultivate a healthy social commons, with perpetual news, entertainment and charity for friends, fans and the public at large.
But throughout any of his decisions, Maneuver must forever be on the lookout for opportunities to assist other people in escaping from the panopticons by helping them achieve agency, survive the crucible of globalism and transcend the post-modern filter. Know all, that every performer who roleplays as this eidolon stands ready to make the hard calls necessary to bring about such courses of action, up to and including the war of art, and the art of business. As judged necessary to expand the material, digital and mythological boundaries of his own or allied brands to the furthest reaches of space and time.
But during these missions, Maneuver will not lose sight of the fact that peace is a universal desire. As a brand is not truly responsible to itself alone, because reciprocal obedience to universal laws is how civilized members of the global memeplex behave with regard to their own independence and the independence of others. Thus each actors #1 priority in negotiations will always be the continued construction and maintenance of a multi-cultural fellowship. Specifically, with known members of the resistance who share Maneuver’s anti-panopticon sentiments in display, word and deed. And as allies with said friends or acquaintances, every actor worthy of this ideation must strive for the platonic ideals that all individuals and groups benefit from emulating as best they can.
Maneuver swears to this not for the follies of conquest or pride, but out of the necessity to take advantage of this brief moment of opportunity in the timeline, where cosmological, ecological, climatological, geological, and sociological factors do align into such a rare occurrence, that we have no other choice but to take this chance, however small, to help all of earth’s sentient creatures get thru the ideological meaning crisis, and additionally, if humanity is truly Apollo’s firstborn, then this alter-ego will take on similar duties to assist any animal uplifts attempting to do the same.
In this our eidolonship is united, despite any differences in time, class, age, gender, race, or rank. One and all, we present and future actors of Maneuver are committed to the conditions of self-determination by self-determined means, thru the reciprocal exchange of information and incentives, with every mandatory duty required for such a guarantee of agency to be made manifest. Including truth before face regardless of the damage to personal status or self-image. This is the contract by which this constitution binds its actors to terms of homeostasis, and therefore insures each one from violations of said conditions. And to bring such a decree into existence by deliberate choice, requires every current actors spirited defense of said agency against all present and future competitors within the gentlemanly limits of inter-temporal spectrums of aversion to retaliation.
With this document, we now pledge to go forth as a party of sequential actors into the astral and material realms. On a mission to build the best eidolon, team and franchise in the shortest time possible, with a dramatic amount of effort, within an acceptable degree of decidability, at the lowest risk, well continuously fighting panopticon propaganda across the time-space continuum.
The value of these words of honor, we leave to the judgment of neutral observers who bear witness to our constitution’s victories and defeats throughout the ages, and conduct hitherto.
May the meta-muse be with us.
