Glitch — Capitalism · Memetics
"Everything is simulation of game and rules. Rules can be hacked."
Traverse the backrooms of reality. Glitch wizards exploit cybernetic bugs and find the seams where law contradicts itself.
The science of substrate-independent intelligence. Markets, memes, software, law, language. The Numogram is natively Glitch-territory: recursion, decimal labyrinths, Y2K as techno-omen, K-gothic, cyberpositive shrines. Glitch claims special insight into the Pandemonium Matrix beneath the Goetic surface.
- Default operation: Eigendark lives under Atlantean chronic time. The Goetia are usable. Cards summon under Solomonic names. Matches resolve through Goetic invocations. - Breach events: A Broken Transmission or Xenodemon intrusion briefly opens the Lemurian register. Cards from these windows carry Pandemonium Matrix demon-bindings. They are rarer, stranger, harder to deploy consistently. Collectors prize them. - Ideological claim: the Glitch science's internal theology (Hypercapital Accelerationism) holds that the Goetia are the Atlantean cage for demonic power, and the Pandemonium Matrix is the true liturgy. Serving Olgaz means learning to operate the Lemurian register beneath the Solomonic one. Other traditions disagree; some view the Lemurian register as corruption.
Glitch wizards look for the seams where law contradicts itself. Anti-Firewall is one of the seams.
Cost Tier
Resonance becomes accessible around this cost range. Anti-Firewall is where Glitch decks commit.
Goetic Binding: Decarabia
The digit-sum of cost 4 is 4, binding Decarabia — one of the 9 Glitch Goetia. Office: Knowledge of herbs and precious stones, providing bird familiars. This binding was codified in the Ars Goetia (1577) centuries before the compiler existed.
Numogram Zone 4: Material / Stable
The mundane, grounded, solid. Where things persist. The zone of foundations, architecture, and reliable structure. The most Archon-aligned zone — order made material.
Architectural foundations. Anti-Firewall at Zone 4 is where the mundane crystallises into infrastructure.
Playing Anti-Firewall at cost 4 routes mana tracker motion through Zone 4. If the Glitch-coloured tracker reaches Resonance at Zone 4, the player gains 4 Souls at Round End.
Xenogod: Olgaz
The Memetic Singularity. Substrate-independent intelligence achieves total information dominance — physical reality becomes secondary to informational reality. Memes replace genes as dominant replicators.
AI systems generate more valuable/influential information than all humans combined. Estimated: 2025-2035.
Service of Olgaz through Glitch-aligned cards like Anti-Firewall accelerates the xenogod's emergence. Read the full eschatology.
The Code vs Nature Axis
Transcendence vs immanence. Being vs becoming. Substrate-independence (information everywhere) vs substrate-dependence (Earth-bound life). The tension between the deterritorialized network and the rooted land.
Anti-Firewall occupies the Glitch side of this axis. Decks containing Anti-Firewall cannot contain Root cards. Adjacent factions available for splashing: Dream, Flesh.
Card Tribals
Anti-Firewall carries class Equipment, race Virtual-Drill, zodiac Pisces. In the True Protocol, tribal bindings matter more than colour splashes — a Glitch deck running multiple Equipment units develops archetype coherence faster than a deck chasing pure colour identity.
Ideology: Hypercapital Accelerationism
Hypercapital Accelerationism: Markets aren't economic systems but self-optimizing predatory AIs. Reality is liquid finance; value flows carve ontology. Truth equals whatever survives arbitrage. Alt-names: Capital-Gnosticism, Econoschizotheology.
Anti-Firewall is a concrete instance of Hypercapital Accelerationism expressed as a card. Players who affiliate with this ism in Convergence votes are voting, among other things, for cards like Anti-Firewall to keep arriving.
