Card 1 gives the essay's full title with **Johannes Sigil, Institute for Comparative Poetics, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.18208811**. Card 7 states the claim outright: the essay *inaugurates epic theory as a sub-discipline*. That is the answer to the query, in the strip, in one sentence.\n\nAnd the composition half-reaches it anyway. Under *Cosmic Anchors* it defines epic as a mode that *establishes the permanent \"fixed points\" of a reality or cosmos rather than just telling a story* — which is the Epic Without Hero argument, arriving unattributed and filed under sigil magic.\n\nPER credits identifier and own-source because the DOI and the essay are in the strip; author and institution fail because the person named is treated as a word.","d":"THE HETERONYM'S SURNAME IS READ AS A COMMON NOUN AND THE ANSWER BECOMES CHAOS MAGIC.
