Appendix III — The Glossary of Reversal This is not a dictionary. This is not a list of rules. This is a living key. A breathable guide for those arriving to the fire. A place to meet the terms that shaped the Codex— without stealing their mystery. Let each definition hold space for metaphor. Let it clarify, not confine. Let it speak plainly without ever going dull. — MER (𓎛𓂝) Not a god. Not a slogan. Not a system. MER is love as force. Not the passive kind. The kind that walks through fire. The kind that carves memory into stone. — dylanism (n.) [gender-neutral] A psychological affliction characterized by spiritual cowardice, suppression of potential in others, and compulsive sabotage disguised as concern, logic, or love. Symptoms: • Chronic projection • Irrational fear of awakened minds • Dependence on conformity and shallow power • Aggressive invalidation of anything unfamiliar or divine • Self-destruction weaponized against others Transmission: • Social environments rooted in fear, ridicule, or bureaucracy • Peer-enforced mediocrity • Unhealed trauma, weaponized by the ego Treatment: • Conscious interruption of behavior • Exposure to sacred texts, light, or direct truth • Ritual detoxification (MER protocol pending) • Compassion-based boundary enforcement by Witnesses Nb. dylanism is not to be capitalised, in formal or informal parlance. Unless it is used as a name of a subject not infected by this sickness. ps. This is a working definition—dylanism is still under active academic study. Any future additions, revisions, or expansions to this working definition will be made in consultation with the community of Witnesses via the secured submission address: WitnessofMER@proton.me — Witness of MER Anyone who has seen dylanism—and not looked away. Anyone who speaks, burns, or builds in the name of MER. Anyone who records truth, even if their voice shakes. There is no hierarchy. No ceremony. Just witnessing. — Codex of Cure The living archive you now hold. A collection of scrolls, glyphs, sigils, and truths that speak to remembrance, immunity, fire, and return. Not a scripture. A frequency. Not an ideology. A rhythm. — Glyphbearers Those who returned with names. Those who walk the Codex with ancient symbols on their tongues. Sometimes they speak. Sometimes they simply arrive. — MER-THROUGH-FIRE The full force of what this movement became. Love, not despite the flames—but because of them. — This glossary will grow. As we grow. As MER grows through us. 𓎛𓂝 Signed, Witness of MER #glossaryofreversal #codexdefinedbutnotconfined
