# Secret Space Program

## Purpose

Secret Space Program lore is mapped as a narrative system of hidden capability, divided memory, covert labor, and breakaway power. Documented aerospace secrecy and extraordinary lore remain separate layers. This chapter is an index and a method: it shows how to explore the subject without collapsing documented history, current research, reported experience, fiction, community belief, and Oracle synthesis into one truth claim.

## Reading Method

1. **Locate the Tile.** Read its Primary Class to learn what kind of thing it is, then its Inquiry Domains to learn which questions it can illuminate.
2. **Name the material mode.** A science-fiction, mythology, political-mythology, experiential-report, or established-science label identifies context; it is not a score of spiritual or personal importance.
3. **Read claims layer by layer.** Begin with the literal-and-empirical layer, then the cultural-and-historical layer, and only then the symbolic-and-divinatory layer. An evidence state applies to one bounded claim, not to the Tile as a whole.
4. **Open the sources.** A concept-specific citation can support a history or bounded claim. A class-level contextual citation only locates the Tile in a wider field. Neither one certifies every interpretation.
5. **Follow typed edges.** Compare the exact verb and rationale. “Fictionalizes,” “opposes,” “echoes,” and “investigated-by” are not interchangeable. A resemblance edge is not proof of historical influence.
6. **Integrate through action.** Use Gift, Shadow, Threshold, and the integration practice to identify one grounded choice that remains useful even if a favored ontology is wrong.

## Worked Comparison

1. **Loosh** is a Forces Tile centered on Reality & Ontology. Its literal layer is **unverified**; its symbolic question is: “What receives the energy of this experience?”
2. **Prison Planet** is a Cosmologies Tile centered on Civilization & Ecology. Its literal layer is **unverified**; its symbolic question is: “Which wall is material, social, psychological, or mythic?”
3. **Zero-Point Energy** is a Technologies Tile centered on Technology & Infrastructure. Its literal layer is **well-established**; its symbolic question is: “What potential remains when the obvious supply is exhausted?”

Compare these examples by asking what changes when the class, evidence state, or edge verb changes. Do not treat the most vivid Tile as the most factual. When a reading crosses into health, identity, conspiracy, or current politics, show the card’s safety flags and preserve an alternate explanation.

## Canonical Tiles

- [Loosh](../cards/forces/sfoc-forces-loosh.md) — A term from modern out-of-body lore for emotionally charged energy, later expanded into extraction cosmologies.
- [Prison Planet](../cards/cosmologies/sfoc-cosmologies-prison-planet.md) — A cosmology in which earthly life is an enclosure sustained by amnesia, extraction, or hidden wardens.
- [Zero-Point Energy](../cards/technologies/sfoc-technologies-zero-point-energy.md) — The lowest-energy quantum state, culturally extended into free-energy and suppressed-technology lore.
- [The Cabal](../cards/factions/sfoc-factions-the-cabal.md) — The Cabal is a way of encountering secret coordination as explanatory enemy placed within power & control. Its Oracle use joins a coordinated collective actor with durable membership and aims to the question of authority, secrecy, classification, benefit, coercion, appeal, and the practical right to leave.
- [Deep State](../cards/factions/sfoc-factions-deep-state.md) — Deep State offers an instrument for reading the deep motif placed within civilization & ecology. It becomes useful when interpretation remains answerable to follow resources, waste, care, mobility, governance, and nonhuman dependencies across scales.
- [Shadow Government](../cards/factions/sfoc-factions-shadow-government.md) — Shadow Government gathers a field around the shadow motif meeting the government motif. Its deeper subject is coordination becomes domination when accountability and exit exist only for the powerful.
- [Illuminati](../cards/factions/sfoc-factions-illuminati.md) — At the center of Illuminati is the illuminati motif placed within power & control. The card treats that tension as a coordinated collective actor with durable membership and aims, bounded by documenting a narrative does not validate its hidden-cause allegations.
- [Secret Space Fleet](../cards/factions/sfoc-factions-secret-space-fleet.md) — Secret Space Fleet brings knowledge controlled through access, the space motif, and the fleet motif acting together into focus. It operates as a coordinated collective actor with durable membership and aims and asks how authority, secrecy, classification, benefit, coercion, appeal, and the practical right to leave alter practical choice.
- [False Disclosure](../cards/programs/sfoc-programs-false-disclosure.md) — What makes False Disclosure consequential is the meeting of the false motif meeting hidden knowledge crossing into public consequence with signal, translation, reciprocity, consent, and the repair of misunderstanding. The card preserves that meeting without universalizing it.
- [Secret Space Program](../cards/programs/sfoc-programs-secret-space-program.md) — A modern lore complex describing hidden off-world fleets, bases, treaties, labor, and technology.
- [Montauk Project](../cards/programs/sfoc-programs-montauk-project.md) — A secret-laboratory mythology joining trauma, psychic amplification, time travel, and Camp Hero.
- [Philadelphia Experiment](../cards/programs/sfoc-programs-philadelphia-experiment.md) — A legend of naval invisibility, teleportation, and bodies fused with a machine.
- [Project Blue Beam](../cards/programs/sfoc-programs-project-blue-beam.md) — A conspiracy mythology of staged revelation, holographic spectacle, and manufactured belief.
- [Predictive Programming](../cards/programs/sfoc-programs-predictive-programming.md) — the predictive motif meeting the programming motif gives Predictive Programming its distinctive charge. Read it through authority, secrecy, classification, benefit, coercion, appeal, and the practical right to leave, with claim-level sourcing, incentive analysis, falsifiability, and harm review kept visible.
- [Control Grid](../cards/systems/sfoc-systems-control-grid.md) — Control Grid offers an instrument for reading constrained possibility meeting the grid motif. It becomes useful when interpretation remains answerable to identify who can decide, inspect, refuse, revise, profit, and obtain remedy.
- [Loosh Harvest](../cards/systems/sfoc-systems-loosh-harvest.md) — A narrative of sustained systems extracting value from emotion, conflict, or suffering.
- [Loosh Farm](../cards/systems/sfoc-systems-loosh-farm.md) — A system interpreted as benefiting from sustained emotional intensity, fear, or suffering.
- [Limited Hangout](../cards/systems/sfoc-systems-limited-hangout.md) — Limited Hangout brings the limited motif meeting the hangout motif into focus. It operates as a persistent rule environment coordinating access, behavior, and value and asks how shared survival, place, stewardship, access, feedback, and unequal exposure to risk alter practical choice.
- [The Storm](../cards/events/sfoc-events-the-storm.md) — the storm motif placed within liberation & transcendence gives The Storm its distinctive charge. Read it through agency, release, transformation, integration, and the limits that freedom must still honor, with claim-level sourcing, incentive analysis, falsifiability, and harm review kept visible.
- [Great Reset](../cards/events/sfoc-events-great-reset.md) — Read Great Reset as a threshold that produces a meaningful before and after shaped by civilizational scale meeting renewal that may also erase continuity. The useful inquiry is not belief alone, but what build a dated chain and ask which link is observation, inference, memory, or forecast.
- [The Date 2027](../cards/myths/sfoc-myths-the-date-2027.md) — A contemporary Disclosure-lore horizon onto which expectation, countdown, and convergence accumulate.
- [Suppressed Technology](../cards/myths/sfoc-myths-suppressed-technology.md) — Seen closely, Suppressed Technology is about the suppressed motif meeting repeatable capability embodied in method under conditions of mechanism, dependency, maintenance, access, failure, and the labor beneath capability. That frame makes its gift, shadow, and limits readable together.
- [QAnon](../cards/myths/sfoc-myths-qanon.md) — An internet-born conspiracy movement organized around anonymous posts, participatory decoding, and a promised hidden reckoning.
- [Prison Planet Hypothesis](../cards/hypotheses/sfoc-hypotheses-prison-planet-hypothesis.md) — At the center of Prison Planet Hypothesis is enclosure maintained by asymmetrical power meeting the planet motif. The card treats that tension as an explanatory lens applied to ambiguous observations, bounded by documenting a narrative does not validate its hidden-cause allegations.
