NarcyVerse Comparative Framework

Awareness — Not Accusation · Patterns, Not People

🧠 Orientation: NarcyNarc, MarcyMach, and PattyPath.

This comparative framework introduces three core characters within the NarcyVerse: NarcyNarc , MarcyMach , and PattyPath . Each represents a distinct behavioral cluster that helps visualize how manipulation, control, and collapse circulate in emotional systems.

What this is: A lens for recognition, not judgment. These fictional archetypes help bring clarity to recurring emotional dynamics seen in personal relationships, institutions, and cultural cycles.

What this is not: A clinical diagnosis. These are illustrations of energy flow and motive , not pathology checklists.
