cyberculture
The doctrine as lived — cybersophy carried in habit rather than spec. A cyberverse acquires a culture when its primitives are practiced by people who did not write them.
Six slots, filled independently at each tier of the verse; a fill at one tier does not transfer:
| Slot | Filled when |
|---|---|
| Cosmology | one sentence on what the world is, repeated by people who did not write it |
| Calendar | recurring dates from machine time that gather without a reminder |
| Ritual | key ceremonies, first inscriptions — repeated acts that signal membership |
| Canon | agreed memory of which forks, failures, founders count |
| Etiquette | shared sense of a good link versus spam, enforced by disapproval |
| Aesthetics | recognizable answer to what a beautiful graph looks like |
Culture-layer actions: seed, host, subsidize, name, narrate, reduce the friction of gathering. The timeline is generational.
A culture matures into a cybersphere the day its practice crosses the founding group.
