Scenario

mbutler

The Red Amulet Protocol is a method for Enacting Digital Objects.

We believe that a digital file is not "Real" until it has suffered Consequence.

It must be Caged. (It cannot be infinite; it must be constrained to one hardware anchor).

It must be Blind. (It cannot be visible to the web; it must be obscured by the Fog of War/Encryption).

It must be Played. (It cannot be passive; it must require active human input—a key, a gesture, a ritual—to exist).

Awesome — I’ve ingested all five .dnd4e XMLs and mapped out their structure. To make this concrete, I parsed each file, inventoried every element path, attributes, and common child patterns, then surfaced the results for you to browse:

• Download the JSON schema summary — machine-readable union of structures across the five files
• Download the union of XML paths as CSV

I also put three interactive tables in your workspace:
