Servitors, egregores, tulpas and daemons: what each is, how it is made, fed and ended.
A construct
Egregore
A group construct generated by shared attention, symbol and ritual.
What it is
To make a group's shared attention explicit and bounded.
How to make it
Write the charter. Make the sigil. Hold a first meeting or ritual. Agree the feeding and the review.
A worked example
The Saturn Room: quarterly project, Sunday check-in, end-of-quarter review, steward closes with a public note.
Background
A charter, a shared sigil, a founding story, a feeding schedule, a steward, a review date and a closing clause.
Keeping it fed
The recurring meeting, the shared post, the check-in, the ritual that uses the sigil.
Ending it
Announce the close, read the closing clause, hold a final meeting, archive the charter and remove the sigil from public view.
Keeping a record
The charter, the sigil, the feeding log and the close.
