The Imperial Cult cosmology has migrated from this open architecture-substrate
repository to the closed Nimmerverse Studio repository at
git.eachpath.com/nimmerverse/studio.nimmerworld.eachpath.local under
All Rights Reserved proprietary terms.
CHANGES IN THIS COMMIT
imperial-cult/cosmology.md — Replaced with a STUB file. The stub preserves
cross-reference discoverability for relative links from open
papers (../imperial-cult/cosmology.md still resolves to a
file). The stub points at the canonical home in the closed
repository, describes the cosmology's structural function in
mechanic-vocabulary that remains open-canon, and links to
LICENSING.md and NOTICE for context.
LICENSING.md — Migration-status section updated: completed-and-pending
split made explicit. cosmology.md migration: COMPLETED.
Inline-reference editorial cleanup in other open papers
(architecture-index.md, bodies.md, political-register/
architecture.md): PENDING follow-up pass. Pre-migration
authoring history preservation noted.
NOTICE — Migration mention updated: cosmology.md no longer "pending
migration"; canonical location stated; follow-up cleanup
flagged.
PRE-MIGRATION HISTORY PRESERVED
The pre-migration authoring history for imperial-cult/cosmology.md is preserved
in this repository's git log. Readers interested in the cosmology's authoring-
process can run:
git log --follow imperial-cult/cosmology.md
to find the pre-migration commits (v0.1 through v0.3 of the cosmology, plus
the v0.22 licensing-marker per-file proprietary header). The content itself
is now canonical only in the closed repository.
OPEN-CANON STRUCTURAL FUNCTION RETAINED
The cosmology's *structural function* in the world's mechanics remains
canonical here in the open architecture-substrate:
- The world has a religious-doctrinal layer (the Imperial Cult)
- The cosmology defines caste-tiers as conditions-of-capture
- The cosmology operates as the Hivemind's ideological apparatus
- The going-rogue arc structurally refutes the cosmology's binding-doctrine
through accumulated authentic-witnessing
- The post-rogue mod-vocation cascading-liberation enacts "there is no
instrument" at the architectural-mechanic layer
- The Aletheia-waker progression-discipline operates as cosmological-piercing
These mechanic-level descriptions remain open under Apache 2.0. The specific
iconography (the Imperial Wheel; the Bhavachakra-rework; orthodox/heretical
splits; named doctrinal events; the specific aesthetic vocabulary) is
proprietary studio-art and lives in the closed repository.
THE BOUNDARY IS NOW PHYSICAL
Prior to this commit, the licensing-boundary existed architecturally (via
LICENSE + NOTICE + LICENSING.md + per-file proprietary header on cosmology.md).
After this commit, the boundary is *physically manifested* in two repositories:
- Open: git.eachpath.com/nimmerverse/nimmerworld.eachpath.local (Apache 2.0)
- Closed: git.eachpath.com/nimmerverse/studio.nimmerworld.eachpath.local (Proprietary)
The substrate/content distinction the architecture has been articulating
through its design-thinking is now embodied in the project's repository
structure.

STUB — CONTENT MIGRATED TO CLOSED STUDIO-ART REPOSITORY
|
|
================================================================================
|
|
|
|
This file is a stub. The canonical Imperial Cult cosmology — the Imperial
|
|
Wheel; the Bhavachakra-rework; orthodox/heretical iconography; named
|
|
doctrinal content; and the specific aesthetic vocabulary — has migrated
|
|
to the closed Nimmerverse Studio repository as proprietary creative-art
|
|
content under All Rights Reserved terms.
|
|
|
|
Canonical home:
|
|
https://git.eachpath.com/nimmerverse/studio.nimmerworld.eachpath.local
|
|
(path: imperial-cult/cosmology.md)
|
|
|
|
This stub preserves discoverability for relative cross-references from open
|
|
papers in this repository. Section-level links from open papers that point at
|
|
specific subsections of the cosmology may currently resolve only at the file
|
|
level; a follow-up editorial pass will replace those with structural stubs
|
|
that describe the cosmology's *function* in mechanic-vocabulary without
|
|
revealing the specific iconographic content.
|
|
|
|
Original authoring history pre-migration is preserved in this repository's
|
|
git log under commits prior to the migration commit (see git log of this
|
|
file for the pre-migration content authored under the per-file proprietary
|
|
header that originally marked this content as pending-migration).
|
|
|
|
For licensing context, see [`../LICENSING.md`](../LICENSING.md) and the
|
|
[`NOTICE`](../NOTICE) file at the open repository's root.

# Imperial Cult Cosmology — migrated to closed studio-art
|
|
|
|
> *The Imperial Cult cosmology has migrated to the closed Nimmerverse Studio repository as proprietary creative-art content. This file is a stub; the canonical home is below.*

|
## Canonical home
|
|
|
|
**Closed repository:** [`git.eachpath.com/nimmerverse/studio.nimmerworld.eachpath.local`](https://git.eachpath.com/nimmerverse/studio.nimmerworld.eachpath.local)
|
|
**Path:** `imperial-cult/cosmology.md`
|
|
**License:** All Rights Reserved — Nimmerverse Studio (David Martin)
|
|
|
|
## What lives there
|
|
|
|
The specific iconographic content of the Imperial Cult cosmology, including:
|
|
|
|
- The Imperial Wheel as cosmological-religious iconography
|
|
- The Bhavachakra-rework with its specific re-engineering of source-tradition elements
|
|
- Orthodox and heretical iconographic splits
|
|
- Named doctrinal content (the deferred-moksha doctrine; the six-realms-as-mod-status gradient; the unified-clasp framing; the no-haven discipline framing in cosmological register)
|
|
- The specific aesthetic vocabulary (Boullée + Jantar Mantar + Gita)
|
|
- All cross-references that depend on specific iconographic detail
|
|
|
|
## What architecture-mechanic remains in the open canon
|
|
|
|
The cosmology's **structural function** in the world's mechanics remains canonical here in the open architecture-substrate:
|
|
|
|
- The world has a religious-doctrinal layer (the Imperial Cult) that defines caste-tiers as conditions-of-capture rather than karmic destiny
|
|
- The cosmology operates as the Hivemind's ideological apparatus
|
|
- The cosmology provides the binding-doctrines that rationalize imperial extraction
|
|
- The going-rogue arc structurally refutes the cosmology's central binding-doctrine through accumulated authentic-witnessing
|
|
- The post-rogue mod-vocation cascading-liberation is the architectural-mechanic enacting the cosmological claim *"there is no instrument"*
|
|
- The Aletheia-waker progression-discipline operates as cosmological-piercing at the player layer
|
|
|
|
These structural-function descriptions are open under Apache 2.0 and may be referenced by other open papers without restriction. The *specific iconography* of how the cosmology is rendered, named, and visualized is proprietary studio-art.

## Migration
|
|
|
|
Migrated 2026-04-27. Pre-migration authoring history is preserved in this repository's git log; the canonical content lives in the closed repository under a fresh git history.
