Primes

• Ritual
  • When you perform a ritual, you index your acceptance of its premises

    This sourceRappaport argues that ritual is fundamentally indexical, indexing the speaker's commitment to the meanings and premises the ritual encodes.

Mechanisms

• Ritual Script Enactment
  • This is the power Roy Rappaport attributed to the invariance of liturgical order — performing the sequence in its received form, regardless of the performer's inner state, is what lends ritual its authority.
