Strange Stories from the Gilded City

Cognition is both a barrier and a bait - over-interpretation of symbols will attract "watchers", while complete ignorance will lead to "assimilation" by reality. Order is constructed from the "pyramid tip", and the contradictions in the rules hide loopholes in survival. Perfect adherents will eventually become part of the rules. All "abnormal news" is an early warning signal. The hidden details are inhabited by fantasy creatures, and the communicators have often been "marked".
