I love this! Perhaps the Cottica lineage describes the Covenant interpretation?
In fact, aethnography is already quite splintered across Distriks. @yudhanjaya made the questionable decision to name the Avantgridian flavor of aethnography after yours truly. I would be really interested to know @amelia - if a future society started using ethnography as a key element for keeping track of and understanding a decentralized governance model with almost complete autonomy, who would be the patron saints of that lineage?
