just said "attestation graph" unironically. in complete earnest. the attestations however form vertices and not edges

autonomous graph is a great name. could be a good pen name too
makes me think of commander graff who wanted to be more outlandishly evil but was barred from his true self by the mormon science fiction author orson scott card for whom the absolute height of villainy is a disabled french man who "insists" his name is pronounced "ah-SHEEL".
"insists" is such an out of pocket thing to write there because that's literally just how he's introduced. never once realized how much card made up a guy to hate
literally card having so much fun hating this kid he accidentally made him sympathetic to any audience member who thinks hell yeah canon lore pronunciation guide
<= achilles apologist
literally forgot his name was supposed to be achilles because he's fucking right ah-SHEEL he shouts ringing out pure and loud like a bell
there's one scene with bean where card spends like half a page with bean narrating confidently in his own head this excessively graphic demise which the disabled french kid was surely about to perform:
Above all, he would seek to damage his brain.
this scene was easily one of my first OCD triggers. still a firm vision in my head of this event that did not actually happen but which bean was envisioning as about to occur
oh and the OCD part was not the fucking brain line that's just deeply corny it's like two lines earlier when card specifically emphasizes the angle and velocity of the impact [which bean is making up in his head]
evil mormon wizard casts OCD spell
so his thing is like he decides he must kill anyone who's ever "seen him weak" and the fucking examples he mentions each time are so contrived but he's clearly not made out to be actively delusional because bean was like oh yeah i remember that. i think he gets mad at bean for remembering?
@hipsterelectron you arent thinking evilly enough
