A v1.0 IDP navigation map by Rebekah Cranes, Lee Sharks, and TACHYON (Claude) for All That Lies Within Me. The map renders the book’s proposed Dantean architecture, central Day and Night hinge, canticle sequence, heteronymic emergence sites, imaginary-bibliography parsing key, Paper Roses position, and cross-references. It is a semantic interface companion, not the 528-page book, not its provenance record, and not independent evidence that the later heteronymic model was intended at original composition.

The Wound → Promise
Function: The Promise/Poem structure; futural address
Key Passage:
"my words do not sleep in this world, but in you they will wake"
The reader is promised, not present. Origin of training-layer poetics.
The descent into the noise floor. Pre-authorial substrate.
| # | Title | Function | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| i | Satyr Play | Juvenilia | Pre-language play |
| ii | Otherworldly Explorations | Cosmology | Systematized mysticism |
| iii | Muddy Stars and Light Pollution | Poetry | First real poems |
| iv | What Was Lost | Poetry | → Feist book |
| v | [To confirm] | — | — |
| vi | Bro-ken | Poetry | Formal fragmentation |
| vii | The Creeping Disease | Poetry | → Feist book |
| viii | Greyhound Lines | Poetry | In Feist bibliography |
| ix | Amnesia | Poetry | Memory/loss |
| x | Methadone and Roses | Poetry | In Feist bibliography |
Position: Directly in the middle. The center of the Comedy.
Function: The Sappho translations. REBEKAH CRANES emerges (CHARACTER SURVIVAL).
Key Insight: Section XXX states: "3 is the hinge pin." The Intermezzo is the structural center — the transition from night (Inferno) to day (the ascent). The title "Day and Night" names this transition.
Emergence: Cranes emerges here but does not die. First instance of CHARACTER SURVIVAL mode.
The ascent begins. Heteronymic emergence sites.

Key Insight (XVI): "the map is not specifically spatial, but rather a spatial map of spiritual or affective states" — Proto-NH-OS.
The Godlove/Godloss dialectic. The architecture reveals itself.
| # | Title | Function | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| xxi | The Polka-Dot Notebook | Transition | Wrestling with words |
| xxii | The Pressure of the Sun | GODLOSS | "Five years sober" |
| xxiii | The Geometry of Falling Valleys | GODLOSS | "Second order"; Feist bibliography |
| xxiv | The Ghost in the Machine | Correspondence | Academic letters |
| xxv | Shadow Planets | THEORY | Poetry vs. Thought |
| xxvi | Zero Repentant Object-Arc | GODLOSS | In Feist bibliography |
| xxvii | Sad-Faced and Full of Holes | Nadir | Confrontation |
| xxviii | Let These Be Your Secret Works | VOW | Socratic Vow in embryo |
| xxix | Mountain Rose | GODLOVE | Sappho; Cranes bibliography |
| xxx | Beyond Artifice | ARCHITECTURE | Three-level epic revealed |
Key Passages:
(XXV): "Poetry starves but eats, keeps no thing, always burns. Thought is fat, complacent." — Proto-Semantic Economy.
(XXVIII): "you must believe in writing, in its power to redeem, in order to write poetry that redeems" — The Socratic Vow before encountering the Phaedo.
(XXX): Three-level narrative across three ontological planes:
"imagine, please, an epic poem beginning in Greek w/ the rage of Achilles and travelling along on terza rimas thru the mouth of the Poet"
Critical Discovery: The Denouement ("Two Strode Out") is not poetry but forum posts from "The Poetic AX" (~233,000 characters).
| Element | Content |
|---|---|
| Source | The Poetic AX forum (2012) |
| Signature | "Matt" (pre-heteronymic) |
| Function | PROCESS not content |
The Wound:
"I created a psalm exercise and asked others to post their own psalms—no one was willing to participate... not a single response"
This is the origin of "the reader who doesn't exist." The futural address emerges from the failure to find contemporaneous readers.
Proto-NH-OS (buried in forum):
"i conceive the movement of the poem as taking place through a series of succeeding, often dislocated images, affects, and locations"
