About

This site is written under the name Spirit B, an authorial identity used across a small body of work. For the cluster overview see the colophon below; for the descriptive vocabulary used in the prose, see sources & vocabulary.

The case-file voice you will find here — third-person designations, dated entries, restrained prose — is a writing convention, not an attempt at concealment. Spirit B is named openly at honto.me, and this site is part of that cluster.

Where the name comes from

The experience documented here began with a brainstorm. The first thing I did, when the situation became visible to me, was sit down with a piece of paper and try to figure out what in the hell was happening to me. The brainstorm became, in my private vocabulary, the storm — both for what I had been trying to make sense of and for the thing itself.

Around me there was already a narrative in circulation — pieced together by the actors who set the storm in motion and repeated by the people they convinced. This site is the other one. Narrative B. The B doubles as Spirit B and as a case-file designation: the subject of this account, the narrator of it, the figure who came through it and made the work.

What this is for

The storm is the spine — a targeted-person record of the experience, in chronological diary form. Each day collects whatever entries happened on it: video clips, photos, written reflections.

Where descriptive specificity matters, the prose tends to link a descriptive word to a published reference work that defines the kind of actor or pattern in question rather than naming specific people. The mechanics of that convention are in sources & vocabulary.
