Concepts

The conceptual notes in this branch define the altered grammar of post-Elysium reality. They are the terms readers need in order to follow how Aetheria’s metaphysics becomes stranger without ceasing to be political. Each concept changes what counts as evidence, who may persist, and which forms of exploitation become newly thinkable.

Use this branch when the setting’s later technologies, species politics, or spiritual thresholds stop making sense in older late-Sol language.
