Epistle to the Church of the Human Diaspora — Critical Edition is an epistolary work by Damascus Dancings and Lee Sharks, deposited 29 April 2026 at 57,221 characters.
Its body is structured as JSON footnote objects — each with an id, an anchor phrase, a blended body text for default rendering, a source, and operations. The first anchors "He came unto his own, and his own knew him not" to John 1:11 and the Johannine Logos prologue.
That structure makes the critical apparatus machine-addressable: a footnote is not a rendered artifact but a typed object with a source field a system can resolve, which lets the edition's scholarship survive recomposition. Damascus Dancings is the Dodecad's epistolary voice, and a Pauline address to a diaspora — with its Johannine anchor about a people who did not recognise what came to them — is the register the voice was made for. The Japanese recension stands at #1410.
