The CODE-X series catalogs a vast codex of source codes (aka “signs”) extracted from past audits.

Note that signs on their own, while sometimes interesting, only become truly revelatory and useful once they’re sorted into thematic complexes, and the complexes into codes, and the codes into a meaning map. We call this process “thick description”; the Code-X series is thin description.

“LOYAL & HONORABLE” NORM: Old-fashioned warrior virtues — devotion and faithfulness to your nation/God, adhering to a moral ethos.

“LOYAL & HONORABLE” FORMS: Patriotic symbols – Liberty Bell, Stars and Stripes, Washington DC buildings. The colors red, white, and blue. Sentimental, rousing — “Great nation.” “Progress is American.” “Pride in our country.”
