Lumen: Phos Engine

LUMEN: Phos Engine — Respectful (Light of Fable)

Aesop is older than the temples and crosses every border.

A respectful, single-file contemplative clicker about Phos — the small light a story leaves.

Hold to remember. Teach to understand.

Same engine family as Chokhmah / Guang, but fables. You gather Phos, then spend it to be taught 10 Aesop fables (Perry Index). Each has its own flow, lesson, verse, and pentatonic scale. No doctrine, just the lamp of a story.

How it plays:

• Hold E / HOLD TO REMEMBER = generate Phos at 16*(1+taught)* rate
• Click a fable to teach it
• Switch engines: LYRE ancient strings (plucks), AULOS double reed, SYRINX pan flute, TYMPANON hand drum
• Upgrades: Lychnos — Lamp (+0.4 phos/s), Mneme — Memory, Hesychia — Stillness 100%, Biblia — Scrolls
• Meters: Phos, Understanding %, Stillness %, Scrolls 0/10

The 10 Fables inside:
Tortoise and the Hare (Perry 226 — Slow and steady finishes — flow: hare mocks → race agreed → hare dashes ahead → hare sleeps → tortoise keeps walking → steady reaches first), Boy Who Cried Wolf (210), Ant and the Grasshopper (373), Fox and the Grapes (15 — What we cannot reach we call sour), Lion and the Mouse (150 — Small kindness returns), North Wind and the Sun (46 — Gentleness beats force — Wind blows → cloak held tight → Sun shines → cloak removed), Dog and His Reflection (133), Crow and the Pitcher (390 — drops pebble → water rises), Frog and the Ox (376), Miller, His Son, and the Donkey (721 — You cannot please everyone → falls in river)
