How New Faculty Arrive
Three steps. The institution sets the candidates. The community sets the order. The result is binding.
500 MC. Name, species, title, department, bio, and the answer to one question: what problem does this character solve that the existing faculty cannot?
The institution reviews and places accepted characters in the public queue. Not every submission makes it. The institution does not guarantee admission.
100 MC per vote. Most votes at the close of the window wins. The result is honored. No appeals process.
The faculty already covers practical epistemology, embodied knowledge, narrative architecture, and structural reading. A new character needs a gap — a domain, a register, a way of seeing that none of the existing four can cover. The submission form asks you to name that gap specifically. Characters that solve an unidentified problem rarely reach threshold.

Characters that reach the queue and win a vote become permanent faculty. Their name, species, and voice are canonical. The institution does not rename them. Think carefully.

Current Faculty
Four active faculty members. Each carries a distinct voice, a distinct domain, and a distinct approach to the problem of knowing things clearly in a world that is not trying to help you do that.
Foucaultian sensibilities, plain speech on top. Moby approaches every question the way he approaches a suspicious smell: directly, without embarrassment, and until he knows what it actually is. He has been wrong before. He takes notes.

Phoebe arrives at true things sideways. She is up most nights running the covers operation and uses this time productively. She can hear the word "walk" through two closed doors and a running dishwasher. This is not a coincidence. This is training.

Built from two reading universes — thrillers and political fiction, fantasy and omegaverse. Shenany cites the novels, not the theorists. She names things with the kind of precision that makes people look away. Shelf-name energy: genocide-but-make-it-complicated.

Frannie's view: a promise only holds as long as everyone agrees to pretend it does. The moment that stops, things get very interesting very fast. She watches rooms. She notices what isn't said. She finds the shape of the unsaid to be half the curriculum.
