The Encyclopaedia of the Doctrine is a curated archive of fictional materials from the world of The Proximity Cycle. These pages represent fragments of the Doctrine’s official records — some preserved, some altered, some partially erased.

The Encyclopaedia is not a complete document.
It is a reconstruction.

What remains has been gathered from Ministry‑approved entries, Stability Centre guidelines, public notices, and several versions of the Doctrine’s internal documentation. Some pages appear to contradict others. Some have been redacted. A few were never meant for public release.

Readers are invited to explore these materials as part of the wider world of the trilogy.

How to Use This Archive

The Encyclopaedia is divided into several sections:

Doctrine Entries

Definitions, regulations, and official terminology used by the Ministries. These entries reflect the language of stability, compliance, and proximity control.

The Ministries

Profiles of the institutions responsible for enforcing the Doctrine of Distance. Each Ministry maintains its own records, priorities, and internal contradictions.

Stability Guidelines

Extracts from public notices, citizen instructions, and procedural documents issued throughout the Proximity Cycle era.

Forbidden Pages

Redacted, corrupted, or conflicting materials. These fragments reveal the fractures beneath the Doctrine’s surface and may not align with the official record.

Timelines & Events

A reconstructed chronology of the Doctrine’s development, implementation, and eventual instability.

A Note on Authenticity

The Encyclopaedia is a fictional companion to The Proximity Cycle.
It is presented in the style of an institutional archive, but it remains part of the trilogy’s worldbuilding.

Some entries are intentionally incomplete.
Some are intentionally misleading.
Some are intentionally wrong.

This is by design.
