Chapter 17: Appendices
Archive Routing
The appendices extend the Reference Manual through two archives.
The Internal Archive (Diegetic Lore)
Documents presented from within the setting: scientific papers, clinical references, and technical civic records. They describe the civilization as its citizens encounter and formalize it, including the physical foundations of communication and interstellar translation and the accounting machinery behind the energy credit.
The External Archive (Meta-Commentary)
Writer-facing documents about the construction of the project, including language design, genre influences, relationships to established science fiction, and the tools and philosophies behind the world-building.
