The Forge Effect: Rewilding Imagination in the Post-Gatekeeper Age™

Imagination was never their property; The Forge Effect calls it back from escrow. This IP codifies a post-gatekeeper operating system where decentralized creators reroute capital, narrative authority, and mythic infrastructure away from legacy Factories into sovereign, networked Forges.

This project reframes “content” as cultural biodiversity, indicts sequel-driven monoculture, and formalizes Cultural Biodiversity Collapse (CBC) as a measurable systemic failure. It operationalizes a Charter, economic proof model, and 6-episode documentary architecture that streamers, publishers, and creator-economy capital can directly harness as a post-Factory blueprint. At scale, it accelerates the shift to sovereign publishing stacks and meaning-backed patronage, converting disillusioned insiders and independent worldbuilders into a coordinated Forge-class.
