Servitors, egregores, tulpas and daemons: what each is, how it is made, fed and ended.
A construct
Genius loci
The nature of a place or platform, treated as a presence with its own temperament.
What it is
To make a digital place a place: a server, a room, a forum, a page.
How to make it
Choose the place. Name its character. Put one image or object there. Make an offering on arrival. Return on a schedule.
A worked example
A project server named 'the workshop': a pinned image, a weekly Monday visit, a note of what changed.
Background
A name, a boundary, an image, an offering and a returning practice.
Keeping it fed
Visits, offerings, maintenance and the small acts that keep the place habitable.
Ending it
Announce the close, remove the image, archive the record and leave the place to ordinary use.
Keeping a record
A place log: arrivals, offerings, changes and the close.
