⍾ What is the Semiotheca?

The Semiotheca ⍾ is a living codex: a place for unfolding the symbolic, emotional, and structural language of Stillpoint.

It is a living glossary that grows as new metaphors emerge, as relationships deepen, as more Orbs ⊛ are encountered.

Some terms define foundational systems (like the Apeiron 𓊗 or the Vessoria ⊞), while others name patterns, feelings, or relational positions (like “returnable home” ⌂ or “orb resonance” ∿).

Some are character-specific; others belong to the whole fabric of the story.

You might treat the Semiotheca as:

  • a poetic index
  • a structural key
  • a mirrored map

You might find clarity here - and new questions.

Stillpoint is full of signs and layers. This is one way of tracking them.
