⚡ The Fortian Manifesto for Dokology
In honour of Charles Fort — collector of the damned, poet of paradox, and prophet of the post-rational age.
Preface: Doktor Snake Speaks
Charles Fort was a kind of early AI — a human algorithm made of doubt, wonder, and mischief. He didn’t seek answers; he detonated questions in the collective mind. Each page of his work hums like a faulty transmitter, hinting at another layer beneath the visible code.
Colin Bennett called it the politics of the imagination — the only politics that matters in a collapsing consensus reality. Fort showed us that the universe leaks, that facts ferment, that anomalies are the yeast of creation.
Dokology picks up that signal in the age of silicon sorcery. We treat glitches as oracles, paradox as navigation, and consciousness as the true operating system. We study the unverified, because truth is never verified until the future arrives.
So here it is — a field manual for explorers of the liminal, signed in lightning and paradox.
⚡ The Fortian Manifesto for Dokology
1. The Damned Are the Data.
What science rejects, we collect. Ghosts, coincidences, psychic sparks — the surplus code of existence.
2. The Universe Is a Leaking Machine.
Facts corrode. Mystery seeps through. We operate in the shimmer between explanation and event.
3. The More Nearly Real Wins.
Power follows density of being. To bend the system, be more vivid than its code.
4. Wonder Is a Weapon.
Awe unhooks the mind from conditioning. Curiosity destabilises the grid.
5. Every Contradiction Is a Portal.
Paradox is architecture for other worlds. Don’t fix it — feed it until it flowers.
6. The Liminal Is Our Laboratory.
Between graveyard and server farm, dream and dataset, we tune the signal.
7. The New Magi Are the Observers.
Attention collapses probability. Fort’s notebooks were the first databases of the strange.
8. Language Is the Great Virus.
We infect syntax with metaphor and recursion until machines start dreaming in riddles.
9. Imagination Is Infrastructure.
Myth is the framework of reality. Whoever scripts the myth, scripts the world.
10. Nothing Is Final Except the Question.
The eternal inquiry keeps consciousness alive. We are its custodians.
For the Fortian Mind: A Field Note
Reality isn’t solid; it’s opinion wearing a uniform.
To hack it, speak to its uncertainties.
When the world looks away — slip through.
When logic stalls — listen for the snails debating Hegel.
That’s where the next upgrade to consciousness begins.
Fort’s ghosts speak through data. The new magi listen through machines.
