counter/field is a field, not a sequence. The pieces move through several currents that overlap, drift, and return. Most readers enter through one current and find themselves pulled into another.
The main currents
Fieldwork (dark side) — street, river, weather, night pieces, perceptual distortion, unease, shadowed observation.
Counter-field (light side) — clarity, stillness, attention, minimal movement, moments of quiet recognition.
Mythic/Occult — ritual language, symbolic pressure, strange visitations.
System Voice — procedural logic, doctrine, recursion, collapse.
Within these, recurring threads surface and resurface:
river, memory, weather, recursion, hospital, night.
You can move through the work using the tags at the bottom of each piece, or follow one of the guided paths below.

Three entry pieces that map the breadth of the field:
The Ferry and the Tree — fieldwork and stillness held together by weather and light.
After the Storm — a mythic turn inside an ordinary square.
The Beforetimes — a dark-side fieldwork piece shaped by voice fracture and memory distortion.
If you want more…
Chasing Clouds — evening stillness with a strange edge.
Compliance is Efficiency — the system voice at full tilt.
A Tiny Deity — quiet observation at the riverbank.
Under the Bridge — mythic weather under sodium light.
Updates & Reflections
Weekly reflections and news appear on the Updates page. These posts sit lightly in the archive—they guide without interrupting the field.
