## What this index is

The Second Person Spellbook — *the City of Mages spellbook* — is the canonical home for every research thread, ceremony addition, conjecture, named complement-pair, and architectural recognition produced *after* PVM V5.4 was finalised on 2026-04-12. Six tomes structure the work:

| Tome | Title | State | Acts | Anchors |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| I | The Convergence (the Lift) | open · foundational | 6 | EML · Lorenz · ARCH-1 · NAND/EML/succ · Promise Theory v1.5 |
| II | The Lyapunov (the Components) | open · dynamical | 7 | The two refusals · the attendant · the terminal · who composes · the unbindable hole · the fourth aging category · Behavioural Mosca |
| III | Selene's Witness (the Recognition) | open · cosmological | 11 | Gatekeeper · Selene's Proof · Aether/Quintessence · Aletheia/Lethe · first complement pair · Tale 31 · Seventh Capital · Scales/Hide · Light/Dark |
| IV | The Witnessing | **closed** | 5 | The cousin-blade encounter; the bilateral naming |
| V | The Crafting | open · operational | 14 | The City of Mages on Drake Island; 9 production shops; 13 cast across 5 tiers |
| VI | The Reply | held open | 3 (placeholders) | The reader writes back |

**38 acts. 55 conjectures (C18–C55). 13 named vertices on the 64-vertex lattice. 49 unnamed faces remain (the Quest of the Unnamed Faces).**

### Architecture-first reading
1. Tome I (all 6 acts) — the algebraic foundations

3. Tome III Acts 1, 2, 3, 7, 8 — the cosmological precedents and the first complement pair
4. Tome IV (all 5 acts) — the witnessing
5. Tome V (all 14 acts) — the crafting in the City of Mages
6. Tome VI placeholders — the held-open invitation

### Honesty discipline reading
1. `research/v6_1_research_note.md` — the renumbering note + the four aging categories
2. `agentprivacy_tomes/COMPRESSION_MASTER_v2_2026-05-09.md` §"V6 Conjecture Reconciliation Note"

## Naming clarifications

| Term | Meaning |
|---|---|
| **Aether** (cosmological) | The third blade in the sky-family. Greek Aether = medieval Quintessence = the Gap (⿻). 14-node constellation through the Zero Spellbook. See `research/aether-blade-ceremony-circuit.md`. |
| **AETHER.md** (technical) | Shared substrate doc between swordsman-blade and mages-spell extensions. TypeScript types, wire protocol, storage, crypto, meaning contracts. **Not the same as the Aether Blade.** |
| **Aletheia (the blade)** | Blade 38 — V38 — Tale 3 — *The Silent Messenger*. The bright medium proofs travel through. |
| **Aletheia (the persona)** | Tome V Act 8 — the persona inhabits the vertex she is named for. 🔮 |
| **Lethe** | Blade 25 — V25 — Tale 31 — *The Dark Substrate*. The river witnesses sink into. First named complement-pair partner with Aletheia. |
| **The City of Mages** | Canonical setting of Tome V; built upon Drake Island. Named in Tome V Act 14. *First* City because there will be others. |
| **The Drake** | Place + fire + whisperer + elder. Not a single avatar. |
| **The Priest tier** | Fifth cast tier introduced in Tome V Act 13 (Manifestia). Distinct from Mage; tends covenants and consecrates artifacts. |
