Appendix C. Integrated Four-Axis Collaboration Matrix

Phase 0. Input + Bible. Librarying Vault + IP decisions → Bible. Draft 2–3 hours + decisions 1–2 weeks. All eight decisions belong to people.

Phase 1. Skeleton. Bible + thirteen-column CSV → empty structure. Build 5–10 minutes + review 30 minutes. People verify conversion.

Phase 2. Pilot. Skeleton + guides → core pilot prose. Draft 2–3 hours + review 2–3 weeks. The master owns GO/NO-GO.

Phase 3. Expansion. Passed pilot → first prose for eleven Parts. Draft 1–2 months + review 3–5 months. People own voice, prohibitions, and IP character.

Phase 4. Consistency. 1,500 entries + external sources → _Checklist.md. Ninety percent automated; checks 1–2 hours + decisions 2–3 weeks. People resolve subtle SSOT conflicts.

Phase 5. Appendices. Frontmatter + body → drafts of 4+4 appendices. Sixty to seventy percent automated; generation 30–60 minutes + review 2–3 weeks. People own maps and NPC cards.

Phase 6. Web + print. LOREBOOK + print specs → web + PDF. Web 1–2 hours + typesetting 1–2 months. People own design and print ordering.

Using the same four axes in every Phase makes collaboration legible when readers apply the system to their IP.

> The rite in which a Paksu Mudang first receives a god—the heaviest moment of a mudang's life.

The Sinnaenim ritual resembles a once-in-a-lifetime entrance ceremony. People gather and a student formally receives a new status. In this IP, however, that status is a covenant with a god rather than admission to a school, and registration occurs beyond the human world. Afterward the mudang returns home as the god's channel, a passage that remains open for life.

The rite defines the [[Paksu Mudang]] and first releases [[Maethim]]. It is central because one ceremony decides both a person's vocation and a family's direction.

## Progress of the Rite

The rite lasts days or weeks. Family and neighbors gather at the mudang household, and the young candidate fasts for several days. As the fast ends, the body grows light, opening a channel for the god.

At dawn, the family spreads colored clothing before the shrine and shapes the ground with drums and song. The candidate sits and receives one garment. Its color indicates the god's character and differs by family.

## In the Mudang Household

The rite usually occurs in the family home. At its center stands a shrine with an incense burner and colored cloth. Incense burns long; smoke touches the ceiling and disperses. Neighbors sit in the yard and witness a life being decided.

The rite also ends there. The new mudang rises at the shrine's foot and enters the inner quarters with family. From that day, one room becomes the mudang's chamber.

## Changes after the Rite

If possession occurs, the candidate is recognized as a Paksu Mudang; failure cannot be retried. A successful mudang accepts [[Possession]] as lifelong work and may inherit the family's office.

The success rate in “○○” is said to be about sixty percent. Failed candidates may choose another vocation or leave the family. One rite divides an entire life, giving it its weight.

*- 02_Part2_World-Laws/03_Shamanic-System/01_Sinnaenim-Ritual / [○○ LOREBOOK] v0.3 / 2026-05-01*

This is the standard LOREBOOK form. Placing the same parts in the same order across 1,500 entries condenses Chapter 5's rule into one page.

Five Points to Copy

1. Frontmatter's 8 + 3 split. Inherit Librarying's eight fields through translation_notes; decide only hub_or_leaf, lorebook_section, and LOREBOOK-specific tags.

2. One-line summary. One sentence under 100 Korean characters; avoid meta language such as “This entry is …”.

3. Bridge from introduction to body. The introduction's last line should lead naturally into the first ## heading.

4. Natural section titles. Avoid “Information,” “Details,” and “TBD”; use everyday language such as “Progress of the Rite.”

5. Six editorial notes. Source, synchronization, illustration, undecided matter, writing issue, and status. None appears in print or on the web.

These points are the acceptance line. Drafting three to five core entries this way naturally follows Chapter 10's pilot criteria.

Relationship among the Five Sister Volumes

Seoyeongak          — read foreign works deeply, set translation keywords — translation/adaptation data for one book
New Character Build — create one person from zero — a twelve-stage character sheet
Librarying          — bind scattered material into a dictionary — 1,500-entry Obsidian Vault
LOREBOOK            — bind material into an encyclopedia — ~450p B5 hardcover + web
Storytelling 100    — create 100 stories from the library — companion collection

All five proceed with the creator and AI work partner as two hands and use the same four collaboration axes. Readers can begin with any one and move naturally to the others.
