The 31st Degree

experimentNo. 0042categoryRituals & ceremoniesrecordingpendingdataCC BY 4.0

The fly occupies the candidate's role in a complete presentation of a supplied Thirty-first Degree ritual text, from the cave prelude through four Egyptian altars, the weighing, judgment and investiture to the return to the cave.

Setup

• Sole source: a supplied 33-page ritual text, Thirty-first Degree: Inspector Inquisitor, or Initiate of the Egyptian Mysteries (Supreme Council, 33 degrees, revision of 1/20/04), bound to the activity by checksum.
• 147 cues: two class readings and 145 ceremony blocks, including all twenty questions in order with separate response pauses.
• 28 supporting flies: twelve Egyptian roles, nine assessors, six brethren and the Seneschal.
• A hall with slate hangings, lotus capitals, a central balance carrying a heart vessel and Maat, four corner altars and a bier; fifteen chapters.
• 87 display-only holographic illustrated scenes cover all 147 cues.

Measurement

• Only bounded retinal columns reach the model. The activity's programmed lighting cues are rendered into the canonical samples.
• Optional browser speech and synthesized gong, chords, thunder and raps are for the human observer and never enter neural input.
• Holographic illustrations and viewport cutaways do not change canonical input.

Limitations

• The activity adds no personal candidate answers.
• The source contains internal station conflicts; the activity resolves them without adding dialogue and documents the resolution.
• Human anatomy, regalia, animal masks and gestures are approximated with procedural meshes and the fly rig. Durations and unmeasured dimensions are modeling choices.
• Copyright in the source remains with its owner; it is not asserted to be public domain.
