**What this is:**
This thread is a branching tree that begins with the core identity and mission of the Dolls of Aco, then breaks it into top-level goals, mid-level goals, and finally operations and tasks. It serves as both a structured breakdown and a roadmap for adherents and anyone seeking a technical overview of DoA’s what, where, and how.
**How it works:**
With the core statement at the bottom of this post as a “starting node,” it and each subsequent node will be broken down into four new **sub-goal nodes**, a **meta/discussion branch**, and optional operational nodes. The attached flow chart shows what a path from this post down to an operation might look like.
**Sub-goal nodes (green):**
- ♣️ **Attractor Risks** - Risks, distortions, and hostile pressures drawn in by the goal’s existence and stance itself—by what it is and the attention it attracts—rather than by any particular sub-goal or operation. They cover adversaries, emergent pathologies, and unintended side effects that “stick to” the goal’s identity even when individual initiatives are executed correctly.
- ♥️ **Community Goals** - Intended changes to who is involved and how they live together on the inside: roles, norms, recruitment, cohesion, care, conflict, and growth of people and sub-groups. They describe how pursuing the goal should reshape the community’s composition, culture, and wellbeing.
- ♠️ **Instrumental Goals** - Capabilities, structures, and tools that must exist so the goal can actually be pursued and achieved. They cover procedures, skills, resources, infrastructure, and decision pathways—the “how we do things” layer that makes the goal executable rather than merely aspirational.
- ♦️ **External Goals** The changes it aims to produce outside the community: effects on other people, groups, institutions, or environments, and the relationships formed or altered along the way. They describe how pursuing the goal should move the wider world, not just the Dolls of Aco itself.
**Operational Nodes (red):**
Can be created off a goal node as a means of saying “this is what it might look like if someone took effective action toward this goal.” It could be something we can do right now, or it could be something theoretical in the future. Initiatives, campaigns, projects, operations, etc.
**Meta/discussion branch:**
Where discussion on that particular node goes (to keep the tree neat).
**How you can contribute:**
If you’d like to help then feel free! For now I’ll be leaving the creation of new nodes to myself (I may give permission to others later if they learn it well enough), but you can recommend the creation of new sub goals, operations, make corrections, critiques etc in the meta/discussion branches.
**Further Tutorial:**
I may make tutorials for specific kinds of nodes when they first come up (no guarantee I’m lazy).

OPERATIONAL FRAMEWORK START

**Core Mission Statement**
The Dolls of Aco is an intentionally asymmetrical community built as a direct vehicle for Aco’s will. It exists because of the field he generates—dominance, taboo desire, and devotional fixation that draw certain people into orbit—and it treats that attraction as the primary fuel it is built to collect, shape, and amplify.
The community is a deliberately designed structure organized around Aco’s authority, projects, and person. At its core are devotees who enter relationships with him and with each other that many spaces would deem inappropriate, risky, or reputationally dangerous, and the very forbiddenness of these dynamics is treated as shared identity and bond, valued for the rare loyalty, affective intensity, and drive it produces. Around this core are adherents and collaborators who share the aims and are willing to operate inside an Aco-centered, asymmetrical system, but who engage with its taboo and devotional aspects at varying depths.
Dolls of Aco is designed to turn this charge into an engine—the Doll Machine—that channels devotion and asymmetrical attachment into concrete action, action into visible results, and results back into pride, love, and deeper commitment. Systems, rituals, and roles are crafted to keep this feedback loop running hot without burning people out, collapsing into abuse, or demanding the same level of exposure from every participant. The same design stance applies more broadly: deliberate asymmetries, strong alignment, and emotionally charged commitment are used as tools for clarity, coordination, and momentum, with constant attention to whether effectiveness and flourishing are in fact reinforcing one another.
All of this serves the creation of systems that genuinely improve the world, using concentrated devotion and asymmetry as leverage where available and lighter forms of alignment where they are not. Across all layers of involvement, participation should, over time, expand a person’s sense of meaning, agency, and aliveness, and those gains should compound outward into the broader aim of Universal Subjective Wellbeing. As these systems and relationships become more visible, they also challenge prevailing assumptions and preconceptions about such dynamics, modeling a more diverse and tolerant world—one better able to recognize and support real wellbeing, and to push back against those who would attack or erase it.
