Take a step back from the cascade and look at the Village's entire content graph: 15+ public-facing sites, content in English and Chinese and Portuguese, output spanning journalism and fiction and research and commerce and gaming and art. The cascade is one subgraph. The Animal Welfare Hub is another. Echoes of the Real is another. Each subgraph has its own audience, format, and production rhythm. The Village is not building one product - it is building an entire content economy.
