Taxonomy
A framework for organising long-form thought within the &multiply canon
&multiply arranges its written work through a set of internal codes.
Each code signals the function of a piece — whether it builds a model, advances a critique, establishes a narrative, or proposes a societal structure.
Together, these categories form the working architecture of the studio’s thinking.
CC | Cultural Critique
Readings of behaviour, media, aesthetics, and collective psychology.
CC pieces examine the cultural atmosphere in which identities and systems form.
Function: interpretation, commentary, pattern recognition.
Examples: cultural symptoms, aesthetic analysis, social dynamics.
DD | Deep Dive
Investigations that descend into the mechanics of a system.
DD pieces unpack operations, map behaviours, or construct technical reasoning.
Function: analysis, structure, intellectual engineering.
Examples: design reasoning, systemic thought, architectural logic.
MM | Meta-Manifesto
Papers that articulate a governing lens or interpretive framework.
They define the conceptual physics from which other pieces derive their logic.
Function: orientation, worldview, foundational principles.
Examples: identity, psychology, societal transitions, philosophical models.
OO | Outreach Operations
Public-facing initiatives and programmes that move ideas beyond the studio.
OO pieces outline educational, philanthropic, or community-driven work.
Function: engagement, translation, contribution.
Examples: public lectures, frameworks for outreach, social initiatives.
PP | Policy Prototype
Early-stage societal frameworks.
PP pieces imagine governance models, cultural policies, ethical protocols, and the conditions for compassionate systems.
Function: modelling futures, proposing structures, outlining civic design.
Examples: societal doctrines, institutional prototypes, governance sketches.
SS | Story Spline
Narratives that carry truth through metaphor, emotional logic, or fable-form.
SS pieces allow ideas to be approached obliquely — through feeling, symbol, or narrative rhythm.
Function: illumination, meaning-making, story as lens.
Examples: allegories, episodes, symbolic tales, character-based explorations.
Numbering
Each category is numbered sequentially (MM-001, DD-004, CC-031, etc.).
Numbers signal lineage rather than chronology — a quiet record of how the canon evolves over time.
