VALOR ZONE BETA-2 – TEMPORARY QUARTERS – NIGHT BEFORE PRESS CONFERENCE
The room is clean, spare—everything neutral-toned and whisper-quiet. Too quiet.
Selina Vong sits on the edge of the bed, barefoot, her long bck hair unbound for the first time since arriving in the Zone. The matte-bck Calibrator wristband hums faintly on her wrist. She stares at it like it might start whispering.
Her ptop is open but untouched. The terminal screen shows:
Pending Upload: "Harmony Index Live Dashboard – Attribution: Dr. Selina Vong”
Upload Locks in: 10 hours, 38 minutes
She leans forward, burying her face in her hands.
SELINA (internal monologue):
“What am I doing. This wasn’t the pn. I’m not a political theorist. I’m not a front.”
The screen beside her pings softly—new file from Naomi:
PRESS PACK DRAFT:
“Dr. Vong’s model demonstrates that calibrated retional asymmetry is the key to communal resilience…”
She flinches.
SELINA (thinking):
“They’re not just quoting me. They’re turning me into a function.”
FLASHBACK – 3 WEEKS EARLIER
Selina sitting in her cramped apartment, stirring ramen with one hand, writing code with the other. Still in debt. Still invisible.
She remembered saying to herself:
“Just make something useful. Let the work speak.”
Now, the work speaks through a regime.
BACK TO PRESENT
She stands. Begins pacing. Breathing shallow.
SELINA (whispers):
“This is control dressed up as harmony. This isn’t neutral.”
She looks at the biometric readout on her screen. The system is pinging her own rhythm pattern—tracking her heart rate, stress level. Feeding it upward.
SELINA:
“…They’re studying me, now.”
She steps into the bathroom, spshes water on her face. She sees herself in the mirror—tired, brilliant, trapped.
And the worst part?
Somewhere deep down… she feels a sliver of pride.
Pride that the system works.
That she made it work.
That Hezri saw her model, and said nothing—but let it reshape a corner of his world.
VOICEMAIL (LEFT UNANSWERED)
Morgan Yates:
“Just reminding you—don’t overthink the press. Just be who you’ve always been. Calm. Precise. They’ll try to bel you. Let them. You don’t belong to them.”
LATER – 2:41 AM
Selina sits back at the desk. Pulls open a bnk document.
Types:
“I did not design a regime. I designed a rhythm. The regime came ter.”
She stares at it.
Then deletes it.

LOUISIANA STATE CAPITOL – PRESS AUDITORIUM – DAY
The cameras fsh, the air buzzes with tension. Hundreds of reporters from across the U.S. and abroad are packed shoulder-to-shoulder in the room. The backdrop bears the minimalist 6C crest—six vertical lines converging into one ascending arc. Beneath it: “Harmony Through Structure.”
Elise Carter, the National Chairman of the 6 Commandments Party, stands tall at the podium in a pristine ivory pantsuit—serene, unreadable.
Beside her: Naomi Chen, the 6C National Communication Director, in ste bck with a steel pin on her colr in the shape of a waveform. Calm. Razor-sharp. Controlled.
Naomi steps forward.
NAOMI CHEN (deliberate, composed):
“Ladies and gentlemen—today marks a threshold moment in the evolution of social policy and economic engineering.”
“Over the past several months, the 6 Commandments Federation Zones have undertaken an experiment in what we term ‘Harmony-Indexed Governance’—a framework not built on punitive models or blind liberal freedoms, but on structural bance.”
She gestures to the massive screen behind them. It fshes open with calibrated charts, harmony curves, and new metrics.
“Today, we publicly acknowledge for the first time the Selina Vong Behavioral Calibration Framework—the model currently driving stability across six active Valor Zones.”
Gasps ripple through the crowd. The name has been circuting in think tank leaks and intelligence memos. But never officially acknowledged.
Naomi continues, her voice low and commanding.
“Dr. Vong’s model—which we now formally designate as the Vong Arc Harmony Layer—has led to a 29% increase in femme group rhythm stabilization, a 38-hour increase in emotional arc sustainability, and a 0.6 increase in average Male Yield Osciltion.”
“She is not a politician. She is not a celebrity. She is a calibrator.”
No image of Selina is shown. Only data. Graphs. Live comparisons from Valor Zone Beta-2 before and after calibration. The harmony visuals pulse like living cells—beautiful, unnerving.
ELISE CARTER (with poise):
“Dr. Vong’s genius does not come from ideology. It comes from her refusal to moralize what is fundamentally architectural. In her hands, society is no longer governed—it is composed.”
“We have asked her not to be present today. She prefers work to spotlight. And so she shall continue.”
Naomi raises her tablet. Taps once.
Behind them, a phrase fshes across the screen:
“CALIBRATION IS THE NEW GOVERNANCE.”
Q&A SESSION BEGINS
A sea of hands goes up. Naomi nods to the Reuters correspondent.
REPORTER:
“Naomi, does this mean 6C is now officially governed by unelected behavioral engineers?”
NAOMI (smiling):
“No more than your nations are governed by central bankers. We don’t control people. We stabilize them. Dr. Vong’s work doesn’t reduce freedom—it harmonizes dissonance.”
Another hand—Al Jazeera.
REPORTER:
“How do you justify using a model that alters emotional rhythms and domestic behaviors without informed consent?”
ELISE CARTER:
“The only true consent is functionality. The alternative was colpse. We chose bance.”
A murmur moves through the room. Controversial. Chilling. Precise.
CLOSING STATEMENT – NAOMI:
“We live in an age where chaos has been misbeled as freedom, and structure as oppression. Dr. Selina Vong did not come to us with dogma. She came with a mirror. A model that showed the cost of dissonance—and the beauty of rhythm.”
“6C is not here to argue morality. We are here to build continuity.”
FLASHES. SILENCE.
The image of the Vong Arc hangs above them like a sacred script. The world has just heard her name—but still doesn’t know her face.
Yet.
***
LOUISIANA STATE CAPITOL – LEVEL 20 – PRIVATE SUITE – DAY
Thick gss, soundproof walls, and sterile modernist elegance—the room feels less like a residence and more like a holding chamber for a person who’s just become too valuable to be unmonitored.
Selina Vong sits on the edge of the sleek modur couch, barefoot, her feet curled under her. Her ptop is open, but her eyes are locked onto the TV screen mounted on the far wall. It shows the press conference feed, now at its height—Naomi Chen and Elise Carter at the podium, her name pulsing in bold serif on the data graphics behind them:
VONG ARC HARMONY LAYER – STATUS: NATIONAL FRAMEWORK (TIER 1)
No photo. No interview.
Just metrics. Architecture. And her name.
Selina’s fingers press tightly around the tea cup in her hand, though the tea inside has long gone cold.
She watches Naomi’s voice deliver her work to the world—polished, framed, weaponized as policy. The same phrases Selina once whispered to herself while building her models in solitude, now echoing through every major news outlet.
NAOMI (on screen):
“Dr. Selina Vong did not come to us with dogma. She came with a mirror…”
Selina flinches. That line. It wasn’t hers. But it felt true.
Her face remains expressionless. But inside, her mind is flooding.
SELINA (internal monologue):
“They didn’t show my face. They didn’t need to. The architecture is already running. And now it has my name.”
She gnces at the Calibrator wristband glowing faintly on her arm. Its biometric reading is active—just as always. Tracking her emotional state. Feeding the system.
A blinking light on her tablet notifies her:
New Access Permission Unlocked:
‘Deep Harmony Layer Control Node – National Level’
Credential: VONG.TIER1
Selina exhales.
Not triumph. Not fear.
Something far more unstable—dislocation.
She stands. Walks to the massive window that overlooks downtown Baton Rouge. From here, she can see the rippling rhythms of the urban Femme Group grid in subtle motion—light codes shifting across rooftops, invisible to the untrained eye.
SELINA (murmurs):
“…You named the model. Now you gave it keys.”
She doesn’t smile. But she doesn’t cry either.
Instead, she whispers to herself, softly and precisely, the phrase that started it all in her notebooks years ago:
“Don’t lead the people. Just sync the rhythm.”

SOCIAL MEDIA, ACADEMIC, AND ACTIVIST REACTIONS TO “VONG ARC” REVEAL
24 Hours After the Naomi Chen Press Conference
1. SOCIAL MEDIA REACTIONS – A FIRESTORM
Twitter/X
@TheoryPunk (Left-anarchist account):
“Selina Vong is basically Hannah Arendt if she built AI for feudalism. Vong Arc = obedience wrapped in algorithm.”
@DataAlpha6C (Pro-6C influencer):
“Dr. Vong’s model isn’t tyranny. It’s civilization. The people screaming are the ones who benefit from chaos.”
@RhythmWifeTX (Femme Group member, Texas):
“I live inside a zone running Vong Arc. I don’t care what the journalists say. For once, my home doesn’t feel like a war.”
@ElonMusk (retweeted 140K times):
“The Vong Arc is fascinating. Harmony without morality. Curious if scable in Mars colonies.”
@AndrewTate:
“A woman built the greatest social control system since the Roman Empire. Respect.”
TikTok
#VongArcChallenge trending: creators mock-calibrating daily rhythms using Femme Group tones.
Split-screen duets with Naomi Chen’s press clip gaining millions of views.
Viral feminist creator @DeconStructQueen posts:
“You thought patriarchy was old-school? Now it’s biometric.”
2. ACADEMIC REACTIONS – DIVIDED ALONG DISCIPLINARY LINES
Behavioral Economists – cautiously impressed
“Vong’s model combines dynamic system architecture with emotional inertia theory. It’s not religion. It’s behavioral physics.”
— Dr. Maxine Harrow, MIT Behavioral Systems Lab
Political Theorists – armed
“The Vong Arc turns governance into calibration and identity into rhythm. It’s the end of human rights as moral categories.”
— Prof. Emil Sharif, Columbia
Techno-ethics Departments – existentially disturbed
“The problem isn’t the model. It’s that the system doesn’t ask consent—it predicts and corrects.”
— Leaked faculty memo, Stanford Ethics Lab
3. ACTIVIST NETWORKS – VOLATILE SPLIT
Western Feminist Coalition (WFC):
“Selina Vong’s model objectifies women into behavioral dampeners and men into yield algorithms. It’s data-driven patriarchy.”
Urban Motherhood Collective (UMC), Louisiana Chapter:
“Our children sleep better. Our homes are quieter. We don’t care about academic outrage. We care about living.”
Queer Alliance Texas:
“The Vong Arc system doesn't recognize gender fluidity—it cssifies humans based on reproductive role and loyalty metrics. That’s biometric heteronormativity.”
4. HEADLINES FROM MAJOR MEDIA OUTLETS
New York Times: “Who Is Selina Vong? The Woman Behind The Algorithm That’s Quietly Taking Over Twenty States”
The Atntic: “The Elegance of Control: Vong Arc and the Return of Ritual Politics”

CNN PRIME DEBATE SPECIAL – LIVE BROADCAST
SEGMENT TITLE: “Algorithmic Authority: Polygamy Economics, Vong Arc, and the Future of Society”
The studio is sleek, glowing in signature blue and white. The host, Jillian Rhodes, sits at center, poised but clearly rattled by the growing influence of the 6C movement and the shadow it casts across U.S. policy debates.
JILLIAN RHODES (Host):
“Tonight, we’re diving into one of the most controversial developments in modern governance: the 6C regime’s unveiling of the Vong Arc, an algorithmic behavioral framework created by Dr. Selina Vong, now running in several states… alongside their polygamy-based economic model.”
“Joining us tonight is Dr. Kevin Lambright, leading behavioral economist from the University of Chicago, and expert in social nudging and governance design.”
DR. KEVIN LAMBRIGHT appears in a clean studio box beside her. Mid-40s, calm, sharp-eyed, with the body nguage of someone who’s studied choice architecture at the neurological level—and isn’t quite sure whether to be amazed or horrified.
JILLIAN RHODES:
“Dr. Lambright, let’s start simple. What is the Vong Arc in your terms?”
DR. LAMBRIGHT (measured):
“It’s a live calibration framework—a system that identifies behavioral drift across households or clusters and adjusts group structure to maintain harmony. Think of it as the algorithmic equivalent of a thermostat, except instead of temperature, it modutes emotional rhythm and domestic role distribution.”
JILLIAN:
“Is that even ethical?”
DR. LAMBRIGHT:
“Depends who writes the thermostat. And whether the people in the room agreed to be heated or cooled. The problem here is non-transparent consent. The model is brilliant. It’s also coercive by design.”
JILLIAN:
“How does this tie into the Polygamy Economics model being piloted in 6C states?”
DR. LAMBRIGHT:
“That’s the part that’s blowing everyone’s minds. The polygamy w isn’t just cultural—it’s structural. Under this system, households become micro-economic units where emotional roles are assigned like bor functions."
“You have wives—75% minimum per Femme Group—who function like emotional anchors. Concubines are votility buffers. The husbands are rated by something called MEQ—Male Economic Quotient, and their value is their ability to generate rhythm-stability across the unit.”
JILLIAN (stunned):
“So the whole thing… it’s like a living factory?”
DR. LAMBRIGHT:
“A living economy. But yes. The scary part is how effective it appears to be. Some zones have reported a 30% drop in domestic conflict and emotional fallout. That’s better than many federal marriage programs.”
JILLIAN:
“But this is based on polygamy. And behavioral surveilnce. That used to be fringe!”
DR. LAMBRIGHT:
“Not anymore. And that’s the genius of the Vong Arc. It doesn’t enforce belief. It just rewards harmony. It nudges you to fit. And if you don't? You're isoted. Silently.”
Jillian takes a long breath, then cuts to commercial.
The segment goes viral within hours.
TOP COMMENTS (X / Threads):
@6CObserver:
“This is the most honest breakdown of Vong Arc yet. It's not dystopia. It's a well-oiled machine.”
@ProgBot87:
“Calling wives ‘anchors’ and concubines ‘buffers’ is the darkest line I’ve heard in weeks.”
@Code_Theocracy:
“Dr. Lambright just confirmed what we already knew: 6C is building a society of rhythms, not rights.”
Would you like to follow Selina’s reaction to watching this segment, or Dr. Lambright receiving a private invitation from a 6C figure after the broadcast?

CNN STUDIOS – “DEEP STRUCTURE” SPECIAL REPORT
Sponsored Content Colboration (Quietly Brokered by Morgan Yates)
Segment Title:
“The Structure of Harmony: How 6C’s Legal Architecture Aligns With the Vong Arc Economics”
Broadcast Note:
Presented as a “neutral policy expiner,” but editorially crafted and funded through Morgan Yates’ Civic Bance Institute (CBI), using discretionary funds from 6C’s covert influence network.
OPENING VISUALS
The screen opens with slow-motion footage of synchronized domestic rituals in 6C-governed states: women in light uniforms preparing food together, children studying in modur communal clusters, and men participating in structured, timed partner cycles.
A narrator (voice-over, calm and authoritative):
NARRATOR:
“Beyond the headlines and controversy, a deeper system is being quietly calibrated across 20 American states. This is not just a theocracy. It’s a designed rhythm. And at its core lies the convergence between w and behavioral economics.”
ON-AIR HOST – DERRICK WOLFE
Polished, 40s, formerly of the U.N. Affairs desk.
He stands in front of a split wall projection:
LEFT SCREEN: Legal Cuses from the 6C Polygamy Act
RIGHT SCREEN: Live Vong Arc Metrics and Emotional Harmony Graphs
DERRICK WOLFE (calm and clinical):
“Let’s decode what’s really happening. First, the 6C Polygamy Law—widely known for legalizing up to four wives, plus two concubines—has been called medieval. But our analysis suggests something more modern: systemic behavioral coherence.”
He gestures to a chart titled: “Cuse-Model Corretion Grid”
1. WIFE FEMME CLAUSE → STABILITY BONDING GRID
“Legally mandates that 75% of Femme Group members must be wives or concubines legally bonded to a single husband. Why? The Vong Arc reveals this threshold ensures ‘Nucleus Retention Stability’—a harmony arc that extends over time.”
“Groups below this threshold colpse. Groups at or above it increase inter-femme coherence by 23%.”
2. CONCUBINES CLAUSE → POSSESSION VELOCITY BUFFER
“Concubines—critically—are not required to spend even minimal time with the male nucleus. In Vong Arc terms, they function as inertia managers—absorbing rhythmic dissonance and redistributing it.”
“Emotionally votile husbands—those with mid-to-low MEQ—experience 2.1x greater emotional yield when concubine buffers are present and properly rotated.”
3. MEQ METRICS (Male Economic Quotient) → YIELD GOVERNANCE
“Legally, MEQ isn’t mentioned. Economically, it governs everything. The w favors polygamous registration, but the system rewards only high MEQ males—those who sustain calibrated emotional and economic output.”
“Low-MEQ men? Deprioritized. Their access to group dynamics diminishes. It’s passive selection, not enforcement.”
CLOSING SEGMENT: STRUCTURE AS POLICY
DERRICK:
“Critics say this system is authoritarian. Proponents say it’s predictive governance. But what’s undeniable is this: for the first time, legal doctrine is feeding live data into behavioral optimization. And that data—is working.”
EXPERT CAMEO – MORGAN YATES (Pre-recorded Clip):
“We’re witnessing a new form of w. Not prescriptive. Adaptive. Cuse by cuse, the 6C framework builds the spine. The Vong Arc runs the pulse.”
SOCIAL MEDIA EXPLOSION
#VongArcLaw, #ConcubineCuseExpined, and #HarmonyOrControl begin trending.
TOP REACTIONS ON AIR:
@WiredEthics:
“This CNN expiner was terrifyingly well-produced. It’s propaganda wrapped in sociology.”
@6C_Architect:
“The Vong Arc isn’t authoritarian. It’s what w would look like if written by AI optimizing family units.”
@CamilleRae:
“I didn’t want to say this, but… I kind of get it now.”

PRIVATE LOUNGE – CNN ATLANTA BUREAU – NIGHT
Low-lit, soundproofed, and lined with leather chairs and sound-dampening panels. This is not a public-facing space—it’s where deals are whispered, not broadcast.
Morgan Yates sips a neat Japanese whiskey, impeccably dressed in tailored matte navy. Her face glows under the subtle halogen lighting. She’s seated across from two senior CNN executives:
Rayna Koslov, VP of Editorial Strategy, sharp as broken gss.
Gavin Trent, Director of Political Integration, the kind of man who pys chess while smiling like he’s pying poker.
On the table: a sleek tablet showing real-time engagement data from the “Deep Structure” special.
MORGAN YATES:
“Eight million views across ptforms within 18 hours. Thirty-seven percent retention past the five-minute mark. You don’t get numbers like that from treaty coverage.”
GAVIN TRENT (nodding, impressed):
“The audience was hooked. It wasn’t just the controversy—it was the coherence. You gave them structure. Even the skeptics couldn’t look away.”
RAYNA KOSLOV (with a sly smile):
“But let’s not kid ourselves. We just aired a state-calibrated doctrine on marriage, power, and rhythm governance like it was a housing bill. Some of our donors are spooked.”
MORGAN (calm):
“And some are curious. You don’t need consensus—just inevitability. The Vong Arc offers a frame the left and right can’t quite unhook from. Discipline to the conservatives. Predictive equity to the technocrats. And sex, control, and mystery for the media css.”
She taps the tablet. A slide appears:
“Viewership Spike – Male 18–34 / Female 25–44”
MORGAN:
“You didn’t just hit political demographics. You hit lonely men and disoriented women. That’s the 6C sweet spot.”
RAYNA (slowly):
“You want us to commission a follow-up?”
MORGAN:
“Not just a follow-up. A series. Frame it like emerging governance models—post-liberal experiments. Nothing overtly pro-6C. Just... curious explorations.”
GAVIN:
“Soft normalization.”
MORGAN (smiling):
“Exactly. By the time anyone objects, the pulse will already be synced.”
RAYNA:
“And Vong? Is she… safe for that level of attention?”
MORGAN (without hesitation):
“Safer than she thinks. She doesn’t even understand yet how much of the machine she is. But she will.”
A long pause.
RAYNA:
“We’ll do it. But keep the funding channel clean. No UAE wire fingerprints. Nothing that leads to Hezri.”
MORGAN (grinning):
“The best rhythm is the one you don’t notice… until you’re moving to it.”

6C STRATEGIC COMMUNICATIONS SUITE – IOWA HQ – NIGHT
A private wing. White walls, steel gss, projection mist, and no visible doors. This is Naomi Chen’s command chamber—where information is sculpted like sculpture and narratives are engineered before they're spoken.
Naomi, dressed in dark graphite with hair pinned into a perfect geometric curve, sits at a U-shaped table ringed with glowing screens. The recent CNN segment featuring the Vong Arc–Polygamy Economics corretion pys on loop above her head—no sound, just body nguage, rhythm, subtext.
Across the table sit her two personal aides, both femme trust communication analysts. Behind Naomi, the holographic image of Morgan Yates hovers in real-time feed.
NAOMI CHEN (pointing at the feed analytics):
“The rhythm has entered. Social acceptance doesn’t begin with belief. It begins with repetition. Recognition. Now we pivot to identity scaffolding.”
She turns to a touchscreen beled:
“Public Rollout Tier-2 Messaging Map”
Phase 1: Introduction of Law
Phase 2: Data Justification
Phase 3: Emotional Normalization (Active)
Phase 4: Cultural Integration (Pending)
MORGAN YATES (via feed):
“CNN’s pying the long game. They want more. You buy them time, I’ll secure the narrative turf.”
NAOMI (nodding):
“Good. Our next move is to shift from legality to intimacy nguage. We’re no longer selling a w. We’re selling a feeling of structure.”
She swipes her hand, loading a new campaign mock-up:
TITLE: “RHYTHM IS LOVE / STRUCTURE IS CARE”
Micro-documentaries of real Femme Group women with banced households.
Interviews with children thriving under Harmony-Calibrated Polygamy.
Testimonials of men in low-MEQ zones being rehabilitated through structure.
Naomi’s Tone: Cold Precision with Deep Sincerity.
“Make this emotional. Not intellectual. The data lives. But the public breathes in narrative. Give them relief. Give them belonging.”
AIDE #1:
“Should we involve Selina?”
Naomi pauses.
NAOMI:
“Not yet. She’s still metabolizing her own name.”
She taps the screen again.
NEW CAMPAIGN SLOGANS PROPOSED:
“A Better Husband Is a Calibrated Man.”
“We Share Beds, We Share Rhythm.”
“Femme Trust Means Never Parenting Alone.”
NAOMI (to herself):
“This isn’t about convincing them we’re right. It’s about making them fear going back to chaos.”
She looks at her wristwatch—not for time, but pulse rate. Calibrated. Measured.
NAOMI (to her aides):
“Have the satellite affiliates prep Tier-2 influence across podcasts, TikTok micro-influencers, and divorce recovery forums. I want rhythm normalization across seven verticals by Friday.”
They nod. Immediately begin typing.
Naomi walks alone into her private chamber. The lights adjust to her biometric presence. She speaks into the silence:
“Hezri. The tempo has entered the bloodstream.”
