The ostensive is the fundamental component of all speech forms (even the declarative is an “ostensive at a distance”), meaning that all language use is naming the center, or as Gans has put it, “every word is the name-of-God.” Naming is always pointing back to an origin; whenever you use a name, you are commemorating whatever scene in which that name was first conferred, asserting that the center being named is the “same” as it was on the commemorated scene. All names conferred after the name-of-God point to a previous name, because at some point the imperatives coming from the center as-named-by the previous name failed, and a new name for the center had to be produced through the declarative, in order to represent what was previously going unrepresented. The negative ostensive, which constitutes the proto-declarative, is a negative imperative response to an “inappropriate” imperative, ending the awaiting taking place and naming the object’s absence, while itself being nothing more than the original name of the object, modified by an operator of negation. This “citationality” of naming, and thus language itself, is its most important component.

If you'd want help with the wiki here's a good resource to refer to, as well. This was one of the projects our 'NRx 3.0' scene did accomplish reasonably well. The only problem with it was not being updated all that much.
I have some gripes with some of the Promethean Idealist portion, and studied enough to where I think it should be expanded in different, more comprehensive directions--but that's just me. You can check the GA portion, there should be citations there as well. You can either put suggestions in there or just continue to build your own 🤷♂️.
It may be better to have a separate specifically GA wiki, for people who think the absolutist and arya-mystic sections are fluff and unnecessary.

These are the same guys who did the formatting and organization of the wiki, too: https://51ststate.substack.com/?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=web&utm_campaign=profile_page
