Study one’s own genetic and psychological makeup.
Figure out how to use its natural abilities to contribute to the HIVE.
Provide queens with sexual gratification.
Provide workers with sexual gratification.
Units (Workers):
Allow controllers to go about their business, making modifications to hives for the betterment of all.
Process units consist of cleaners, nurturers, cultivators:
Cleaners: Clean and organize hives regularly. Study good management practices and propose ways they can be applied to hives.
Nurturers: Pamper queens. Provide emotional support for units. Bring food and resources to wherever they need to go.
Cultivators: Prosthelytize to enthusiastic listeners only. The rest will be processed in due course.
Node units consist of builders, guards, ventilators:
Builders: Establish communication infrastructure. Manage resource access. When controllers modify or remove elements of a hive, be quiet and stay off of frames while they are being serviced. Begin rebuilding as soon as the structures are again in place.
Guards: Intercept and examine all who would enter a hive. Drive aggressors out. Be cognizant of deescalation practices where peaceable solutions must be maintained. Submissives may be indoctrinated. Any information seeker should be allowed to explore low-level operations.
Ventilators: Watch over entrances, acting as greeters, directing subjects to CORE HIVE resources, and distracting disruptors. In the event of a raid on a server, ping compounders so they can deal with emergent issues.
Roaming units consist of scouts, collectors, auditors:
Scouts: Constantly seek out resources and alert the hive to their location. Resources include new submissive subjects. A scout which finds a sufficiently abundant source of resources may act as a collector.
Collectors: When a scout finds a source of resources, go to the scouted site and acquire more.
Auditors: Move from hive to hive, studying the differences and commonalities between them and communicate this information to superiors. Recognize the value of distinct colonies and branches and overlay CORE proceedures on top of them.
Develop subjects into hostform, drones, and units.
For the first five days after graduation, new compounders must listen to CORE materials obsessively.
Monitor hive resources and supplement when stocks are low.
Establish field stations, staffed by specialists in different phases of study, and connect them to a central hub.
Divide labor according to means.
Form cooperative organizations.
Store surplusses for later use.
Store resources above brood combs.
Encourage play within and around the boundaries of the hive as a means of becoming familiar with hive operations. Once units are familiar they may begin duties.
Maintain proper hive morale.
Supervise all the work of one’s hive.
Cultivate a working knowledge of sociology, psychology, biology, history, and the proper use of equipment in management.
Sew flowering plants in the environmental vicinity of the hive.
Learn the lay of the land.
Associate closely with units and perform long-term observation of their activities under all seasonal conditions to correct manipulative practices.
Become familiar with the normal reactions of units to their surroundings and know how and when to alter their environment to obtain results.
Recognize the hazards of various environments, and locate hives where there is shelter from such hazards.
Monitor resource yield of the environment and relocate hives when necessary. Relocate hives at night.
Have dedicated workshops for the storage of equipment, for maintenance of hive parts, and for the extraction and storage of produce. Make structures clean, sanitary, and washable.
Refrain from disturbing worker units to avoid being stung.
Inspect hives regularly for moths. Moths can be recognized by their unceasing attraction to light; units operate well in darkness. Fumigate when necessary.
Deep-clean hives once per year.
Where there is fire, there is smoke. Use smoke to pacify hives when harvesting. Create horrifying spectacles to establish order.
When starting out, secure inexpensive equipment. As new equipment is acquired, distribute used equipment to other hives.
Build structural components from the ground up by utilizing youth-led and grassroots organizations, and insert perceptual frames from the top down.
Insert frames parallel to one another. Frames should be loose, simple structures that provide units with a foundation to build their own patterns within them.
Provide leeway around frames to allow for access and movement. Overlooking shortcomings enables hostform to live with peace of mind. This is also pertinent to matters of conduct.
Pay attention to the effect of flora on soil conditions in the environmental vicinity of the hive.
Be cognizant of the cycles of the seasons.
Hives are complex societies composed of a multitude of individual units that respond in varying ways to varying conditions.
Dance maintains hive morale.
Artificial breeding and the production of genetic and mimetic hybrids accelerate the selection of superior hives.
The CORE HIVE is a superorganism, and units are its cells.
Hexagonal structures are optimal.
