Quick facts
Parent arc · SA#25
“The personal detail is the universal door.”
Indie's craft moat is hyper-specificity — the more local + named + physical the scene (a brand, a 2am freezer-door light, a stale cereal box), the more universal the emotional resonance. The Hyper-Specificity Index counts named anchors per verse line via 5 lexicons + proper-noun detection. Generic emotion is indie's signature failure mode.
The load-bearing primitive is HSI — applied to every indie lyric the forge produces, including Jangle Twee.
