[progress] week of Oct. 12

So far…

• ~124,000 words including code, should start on the 4th and final divergent path of chapter 6 soon… The 3rd divergent path is visibly shorter than the previous two. Not sure if I should go back to it later to elaborate a few “rushed” passages.
• I learned recently that the Emperor names are supposed to be given and referred to posthumously. To us modern readers they are always used in text since these Emperors are deceased, but in their lifetime those names should not be used. I’m going to retroactively refer to Heng and Xuan as “titles of honor,” and try to minimize their usage in the future.
