The lore in 100 words
Collective is the law that reality is strongest when many wills become one. It is the Essence most likely to be right and the one with the ugliest failure state: coordinated strength is real, but the Hives know what it costs when the queen-node falls, and every swarm carries the question of whether its members still choose. Unity without consent is just a quieter tyranny.
