The GLITCHBURN Handbook is a field guide for navigating the language, systems, and unspoken rules of Limerence City.

It does not explain the world in neat, safe terms. It translates it.

This guide exists to help readers recognise what the system is saying when it pretends not to speak. It decodes the words used by the VOW, the slang traded in back corridors, the classifications hidden inside official language, and the schematics never meant to be seen whole.

Use it to understand how control is disguised as optimisation. How creativity is flagged as violation. How feeling becomes contraband. How a city can glitter while quietly watching you back.

The handbook is not required reading. Nothing here is mandatory.
But once you know the terms, you will start to notice them everywhere.

This is not a rulebook.
It is a translation layer.

And translations, once learned, cannot be unlearned.
