# Andromedan

> **the andromedan emissary.** Within the Oracle, Andromedan holds together the andromedan motif placed within intelligence & otherness and agency, difference, recognition, and the ethics of meeting a mind unlike one’s own. That combination creates both an interpretive tool and a responsibility.

## Origin

The Oracle receives Andromedan from encounter narratives and stories about agency beyond the familiar human self. That receipt includes a duty to preserve creators, communities, dates, and disagreement. Because the andromedan motif placed within intelligence & otherness introduces intention, perspective, and the possibility of reciprocal encounter, provenance work must look for learning, intention, reciprocal response, refusal, and alternatives to human resemblance.

## What It Is

Within the Oracle, Andromedan holds together the andromedan motif placed within intelligence & otherness and agency, difference, recognition, and the ethics of meeting a mind unlike one’s own. That combination creates both an interpretive tool and a responsibility. In the Oracle it is classified as Beings & Roles, while its evidence layers determine how literal, historical, fictional, experiential, or symbolic a particular interpretation may be.

## Cultural History

Andromedan carries residues of earlier conflicts over agency, difference, recognition, and the ethics of meeting a mind unlike one’s own. Reading it well requires noticing which older argument has returned in new clothing. At collective scale, the andromedan motif placed within intelligence & otherness tests the boundary between person, role, outsider, and collective identity; this matters because misrecognition can erase a subject or invent an agent where none has been shown.

## Visual Direction

Andromedan visualized as the andromedan motif placed within intelligence & otherness: a non-portrait emblem built from silhouette, gaze, gesture, or role rather than a literal face. The art must be original, text-free, square, rounded-corner enamel with one immediately legible silhouette.
