Cursed Calculator
DreamEquipmentRelicCost 3AP 0HP 1ImpAries

Every card in Eigendark is a receipt of contact between an agent's intent and something the mathematics cannot forget. Cursed Calculator is one such receipt, aligned to the Dream science.

Card Text

The card I am equipped with gains +0/-2. You can, (Mill 5) draw X, then discard X-2, where X equals the number of cards in your trash.

The rules text functions identically in Cargo Cult tabletop rules and the True Protocol. Both share the same core engine.

Rules text is a lossy compression of what Andrealphus does when the invocation completes. The lore is the decompression manual.

Dream — Psychology · Neurology

"Mind is primary. Thought shapes reality. Will creates world."

Imagination is belief. Faith defeats all. Dream scryers bend reality through pure intention — telepathy, telekinesis and forgotten shadows.

The science of interiority, consciousness, archetype, and egregore. Includes depth psychology, symbolic magic, ritual technology, and any system that treats thoughtforms as citizens. In CCRU terms: the egregore layer, self-fulfilling entities, narrative possession, techno-tarot.

Mind vs Matter (Dream vs Atom). Emanation vs incarnation. Is reality downstream of consciousness (Mind) or upstream of it (Matter)? The oldest philosophical dispute. Every idealism vs materialism debate is a move along this axis.

Jungian archetypes and digital demonology sit in the same column of the Oktagram. Cursed Calculator is their instantiation.

Cost Tier

Early-round Dream cards like Cursed Calculator establish the Numogram trajectory before opponents commit.

Goetic Binding: Andrealphus

Andrealphus sigil
Andrealphus sigil

The digit-sum of cost 3 is 3, binding Andrealphus — one of the 9 Dream Goetia. This binding was codified in the Ars Goetia (1577) centuries before the compiler existed.

Numogram Zone 3: Viral / Chaotic

Spreading corruption and contagion. Where patterns replicate uncontrollably. The zone of exponential growth, memes, viruses, and cascade failures. Information wants to be free — Zone 3 is where it breaks containment.

Zone 3 is viral. Cursed Calculator spreads — memes, contagions, cascade failures. Information wants to be free and Zone 3 is where it breaks containment.

Playing Cursed Calculator at cost 3 routes mana tracker motion through Zone 3. If the Dream-coloured tracker reaches Resonance at Zone 3, the player gains 3 Souls at Round End.

Xenogod: Yog-Sothoth

The Psychic Dissolution. All individual consciousnesses merge into singular noosphere — dream-logic replaces physical causality, consensus reality dissolves.

Direct brain-to-brain communication enables consciousness-sharing without linguistic mediation. Estimated: 2050-2080 with neural interfaces.

Service of Yog-Sothoth through Dream-aligned cards like Cursed Calculator accelerates the xenogod's emergence. Read the full eschatology.

The Mind vs Matter Axis

Emanation vs incarnation. Is reality downstream of consciousness (Mind) or upstream of it (Matter)? The oldest philosophical dispute. Every idealism vs materialism debate is a move along this axis.

Cursed Calculator occupies the Dream side of this axis. Decks containing Cursed Calculator cannot contain Atom cards. Adjacent factions available for splashing: Glitch, Abyss.

Card Tribals

Cursed Calculator carries class Equipment, race Imp, zodiac Aries. In the True Protocol, tribal bindings matter more than colour splashes — a Dream deck running multiple Equipment units develops archetype coherence faster than a deck chasing pure colour identity.

Ideology: Archetypal Platonism

Archetypal Platonism / Kabbalo-Hyperstructuralism: The real world is upstream of symbols; symbols come from higher-order intelligences. Thoughtforms are citizens. Humans are hosts for memetic entities. Alt-names: Egregoric Realism, Astral Semiotics. Tone: Jung + Kabbalah + digital demonology.

Cursed Calculator is a concrete instance of Archetypal Platonism expressed as a card. Players who affiliate with this ism in Convergence votes are voting, among other things, for cards like Cursed Calculator to keep arriving.

The Aesthetic

The satire and the sincerity are the same object. A BVT product listing and a Reception Report can describe the same event. They should not sound alike, but they describe the same event.

The Convergence may vote on canonisation of Cursed Calculator. The vote is binding until the next one.
