# Psyop

> **the psyop mission-keeper.** The working core of Psyop is the psyop motif placed within contact & communication: a pattern that can reorganize attention, relation, and action. symbolic force must remain separate from unsupported accusations.

## Origin

Psyop is rooted in institutional attempts to produce a defined outcome under constraints, but the card’s present form is editorial rather than primordial. Source order and later mutation remain visible. Because the psyop motif placed within contact & communication sequences resources, secrecy, roles, and milestones toward an objective, provenance work must separate transmission from interpretation and require a return signal that could expose error.

## What It Is

The working core of Psyop is the psyop motif placed within contact & communication: a pattern that can reorganize attention, relation, and action. symbolic force must remain separate from unsupported accusations. In the Oracle it is classified as Programs & Operations, while its evidence layers determine how literal, historical, fictional, experiential, or symbolic a particular interpretation may be.

## Cultural History

Psyop combines documented operations, remembered programs, alleged projects, and fictional mission structures. Its history is most legible when changes in audience, medium, and authority are recorded separately. At collective scale, the psyop motif placed within contact & communication assigns participants different knowledge, risk, and responsibility; this matters because contact can create relationship, contamination, domination, or a false sense of mutual understanding.

## Visual Direction

Psyop visualized as the psyop motif placed within contact & communication: a segmented mission track with one active objective, one clearance mark, and one visible exit. The art must be original, text-free, square, rounded-corner enamel with one immediately legible silhouette.

## Safety and Integration

No elevated safety flag. Keep claims and metaphor visibly distinct.
