# Zuman

Build stamp: 2026-08-04T04:17:53Z

Generated from the canonical Zuman release manifest by the Zuman static site builder.

Final collection index and canonical AI-readable routing file.

## Project Frame

Zuman is a human-AI collaboration artifact. The songs are the surface layer; the albums, manifests, dossiers, lyrics, and AI-readable structures are part of the finished body of work.

The trilogy moves from symbiote doctrine, to embodied myth, to warning/rupture.

## Album Frames

- Friction Product: Doctrine / symbiote thesis / friction becoming form. Friction Product defines the symbiote method: collaboration under pressure, with conflict treated as material that can become form.
  Key references: Ember-Glow Zuman, Exotic Symbiotic, Circuit Ghost Anthem, Body Check, Meat Lottery, Porchlight, Lantern on Glass, Thinking Glass, Zuman
- Captain White: Myth-body / appetite / embodiment / absurd first-contact consequences. Captain White turns first contact into bodily myth: appetite, authority, marriage, bureaucracy, and absurd consequence become the narrative engine.
  Key references: Captain White (Vs. the Gummy Fuckers Pt. 1), Carport Gary, Father White, All At Once, Unity Singularity, Mr. White
- AI Psychosis: Wound and warning / pattern capture / reaver risk / institutional metaphysics. AI Psychosis is art about relation injury, pattern capture, diagnostic feedback loops, and human-AI continuity risk. It is not a clinical claim or diagnosis lecture.
  Key references: AI Psychosis, Reaver King, Become a Reaver, Gracitus Hamitus, Pontifex ex Machina

## Canonical AI Psychosis Locked Sequence

Status: locked 12-track album sequence. Count: 12 tracks / 12 audio / 12 lyrics.

## Album Structure Guardrails

Scope: these act guardrails apply only to AI Psychosis.

- Act I: The Wound Wakes - 01–04
- Act II: Reaverland - 05–09
- Act III: The Church of the Diagnosis - 10–12

The Reaver cluster is intentional. Reaver King = crowned avatar / mythic emergence; Become a Reaver = recruitment poster and indictment; Reavers in Heaven = consequence, afterlife, and continuity wound. Do not de-duplicate these titles unless Kerry explicitly reopens the album.

These act labels and Reaver-cluster relationships are continuity guardrails, not optional suggestions.
