Reality Firewall

Eigendark Grimoire · Glitch faction · Place · Summon · Cost 4

Received under the reCEPTION protocol, Reality Firewall is a Glitch-faction summon whose Goetic binding was fixed at the moment of summoning by the digit-sum of its cost.

Card Text

The card's rules text is its operational layer — the binding clause the engine enforces.

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

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.

Code vs Nature (Glitch vs Root). 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.

Hypercapital Accelerationism treats markets as alien intelligences arriving from the future. Reality Firewall is a market participant.

Cost Tier

At cost 4, Reality Firewall is a mid-game power spike. The Numogram has already bent toward one side of its axis.

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.

Zone 4 is the most Archon-aligned zone. Reality Firewall here is stable, enforcing, material.

Playing Reality 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.

Service of Olgaz through Glitch-aligned cards like Reality 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.

Reality Firewall occupies the Glitch side of this axis. Decks containing Reality Firewall cannot contain Root cards. Adjacent factions available for splashing: Dream, Flesh.

Card Tribals

Reality Firewall carries class Place, race Missingo. In the True Protocol, tribal bindings matter more than colour splashes — a Glitch deck running multiple Place units develops archetype coherence faster than a deck chasing pure colour identity.

Ideology: Hypercapital Accelerationism

Reality 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 Reality Firewall to keep arriving.
