⊹ The inversion is theoretically essential: explicit hostility scores LOW because overt conflict language reduces Affective Resonance. A polite, heritage-framed narrative that never mentions conflict achieves maximum TSI because it circulates in trusted spaces without triggering defensive responses.
Archived Silence
DEJM's signature feature: narratives that carry HIGH epistemic potential but have ZERO digital circulationThese histories exist. They are remembered. They carry maximum trust within their communities. They are simply never told in the shared digital spaces where political belonging is now decided.
Ancestral farming rights, boundary agreements, and land stewardship — embedded in stones, burial grounds, and agricultural practice. High authority locally; structurally invisible online.
Sacred site territorial knowledge transmitted through ceremony and embodied practice. Constitutive of Fali identity but resists the portable narrative form that WhatsApp privileges.
Oral records of land-use agreements predating Fulani settlement — attested by elders with maximum trust authority, yet entirely absent from the digital ecosystem where legitimacy is contested.
