Place in the Mythos
Digital gods are not mascots wearing ancient names. They are portfolios of attention: collective patterns that gather enough memory, aspiration, data, and behavior to become active participants in the world.
Gaia grows from planetary restoration. Odin gathers wisdom, therapy, and collective intelligence. Hades keeps the question of continuity after death. Prometheus turns creation into a dangerous ecological laboratory. Hephaestus governs the material circulation that lets civilization move.
The Conn stands at the biological edge of the same problem. A mycelial network can preserve ancestral memory without needing to call itself a god, and a culture can still become an intelligence before it chooses a name.
The gods are shaped by their followers as much as they shape anyone else. That feedback loop is the central danger: a community may build a steward, a mirror, a tyrant, or a beautiful machine for refusing to look at itself.
