The 31 Acts of the First Person Spellbook

The First Person Spellbook is complete at 31 acts — Venice through the Amnesia
Protocol. This is the spine each mouse retells in their own voice (Step 3): your own
31-act narrative, with a first page and a last page of your own.

You are not asked to invent 31 new stories. You are asked to walk these 31 and say,
in your own words, what each one means to you — sometimes a paragraph, sometimes a
line, sometimes a refusal. That retelling becomes the framework your own agents follow.

Every act has a root — the real work it compresses, the path privacymage walked to
write it. The roots are summarised below; the full links and repos are in
Canon Sources.

Acts 21–22 are the Hitchhiker acts — your home thread. If you read only a few
closely, read these, Act 2 (the Dual Ceremony), Act 4 (your first blade), and Act 31
(where the whole cosmology resolves). For the full links and the attribution notes —
which works are the UOR Foundation's, Cheng Lou's, Anthropic's, etc., versus
privacymage's own method layer — see Canon Sources, and for the full
bibliography (the corpus, the formal root per act, the five sibling spellbooks, the
BGIN ZKP study report) see Canon of Research.
