Recovered Archive / Lexicon

The Recovered Lexicon

A dictionary of propaganda and manipulation patterns. Each entry has a name, a recognition hook, a plain-language explanation, and the guardrails for using it without becoming what you're analyzing.

The names are designed to spread. The hooks are designed to stick. The guardrails are designed to prevent the vocabulary from being weaponized by the same patterns it names.

Institutional Patterns // rhetoric and narrative control

Patterns detected in public language — political statements, corporate communications, media framing. These are the engine's vocabulary: the patterns it was built to find.

Interpersonal Patterns // coercion and control

Patterns found in one-on-one manipulation — cults, abusive relationships, coercive control. These are the patterns people live through, not just read about.

Interpersonal pattern entries are being added. See the pattern library for the full recovery-oriented structure.
