...and I suppose we have the Fraudulent, though they are of little relevance to us. An archetype chiefly adept at the creation of the untrue, they proved to be a dubious though intriguing experiment in contradiction.
When they first divided, alone from other archetypes, the much of them found lying to each other constantly proved exceedingly confusing. Any kind of co-operation was impossible without some kind of concretic foundation.
Their solution was this: the much would lie only to themselves and to their subtribe, while the lesser would collaborate in lying to everyone else consistently.
This created a synthetic environment of untruth for the Fraudulent to serve as their reality. Alone, without the limit of resources, this proved stable and was given clearance to proceed to live trials.
In a trial involving twelve other archetypes, the Fraudulent managed to perfect conversion of all but four. Other archetypes, it appeared, were unaware of the contradiction inherent in the Fraudulent and took their accepted truth to be actually true. The society at large became involved in intense periods of facade construction and development of abstract ideas, leading ultimately to a technological revolution.
The resources required for this advancement were still easily obtained from the remaining archetypes and archetype-junctions. The problems first arose as these cultures began to convert. The lesser of the fraudulent were presented with serious problems as resources became scarce and the conversion progressed. An element of the progression of a fraudulent is that it becomes more and more focused on having the opportunity to lie, as opposed to the drudgery of living in general. This motivates them to create fraudulent endeavours, allowing them to collect resources in proportion to their fictional contributions, not their actual.
One the most successful of these was the Fraudulent hybrid of the communications industry. The market demanded lies, the communications industry supplied the logistics, the lesser did the rest. It began by usurping artistic endeavours, usually those crafted by the SubReal, but the SubReal were the last archetype to be affected by conversion and cooperated little with the enterprise.
The lesser drafted the Counters least affected by conversion to find the next solution. They concluded that by bombarding all communications media, in conjunction with employment, the maximum lie distribution could be achieved before resources became critical. The supply and the demand and the medium could now all be the same thing, and as that was something that didn't actually exist, they could never run out of it.
Eventually everyone was either producing communication equipment, operating communications equipment, or fashioning an untruth to be broadcast on the communications equipment in order to sell more communications equipment. This metastatised, until the conclusion of the trial, at which point the Fraudulent, now completely dominant, had progressed into a symbiotic cycle. The lesser had combined into a system that produces untrue concepts, the greater into a system that accepts them and provides a yes or no answer, neither of which can ever be a true concept.
The Vinstucio came about on a later trial involving the Fraudulent. In it the chief communications media became known as the phone. He had this to say of them, in an early iteration, 'no man or woman should make phones for work, or operate phones for work, or attractively package the idea of phones for work with glib beepings. Those who you need to work for, those who you need to communicate with, they don't have phones...'
As he led his people against theirs he had this to say. '...these people would ask you, while your apple rots, to just shine on, to breathe and rub. I say the wax is thick enough already, I say the rot cannot be stopped, I say let it go and use its remains to build something new. That is as the tree would iterate.'
