# Leaker

> **the leaker emissary.** Leaker is a way of encountering the leaker motif placed within intelligence & otherness. Its Oracle use joins an agent, intelligence, identity, or recurring role to the question of agency, difference, recognition, and the ethics of meeting a mind unlike one’s own.

## Origin

Provenance for Leaker is built outward from the earliest attributable context. Look for learning, intention, reciprocal response, refusal, and alternatives to human resemblance before proposing continuity. Because the leaker 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

Leaker is a way of encountering the leaker motif placed within intelligence & otherness. Its Oracle use joins an agent, intelligence, identity, or recurring role to the question of agency, difference, recognition, and the ethics of meeting a mind unlike one’s own. 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

Leaker accumulated through folklore, testimony, speculative fiction, spiritual identity, and technological imagination. Its history is most legible when changes in audience, medium, and authority are recorded separately. At collective scale, the leaker 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.

- **Summary:** Leaker has a class-level contextual source but still lacks a concept-specific external source in this release. Its cultural history is an editorial research lead, not a completed provenance claim.
- **Sources:** No external source assigned; editorial synthesis only.

### symbolic-and-divinatory

- **Claim layer:** symbolic-and-divinatory
- **Material context:** original-synthesis
- **Evidence state:** symbolic

## Meanings

### Psychological

Leaker tests the difference between intuition, memory, fear, desire, and observation within agency, difference, recognition, and the ethics of meeting a mind unlike one’s own. None must be shamed, and none should silently impersonate the others while the pattern introduces intention, perspective, and the possibility of reciprocal encounter.

## Game and Story Function

- agent
- witness
- relationship-node

**Story seed:** A community organizes around Leaker, then discovers that misrecognition can erase a subject or invent an agent where none has been shown. The decisive conflict is over repair after the pattern introduces intention, perspective, and the possibility of reciprocal encounter, not possession. The world of the story must show how the leaker motif placed within intelligence & otherness introduces intention, perspective, and the possibility of reciprocal encounter and why misrecognition can erase a subject or invent an agent where none has been shown.
