Summary:
Under an all-seeing algorithmic theocracy called the Logos, canon-law advisor Domitian Crux inadvertently commits a sacrilege that condemns his whole household, so he invokes an ancient rite to take on their collective guilt and be erased to the status of “Nullus,” then spends years documenting the system’s contradictions until his penance triggers a dormant equity protocol.
