MONTHLY PEGIS

Monthly PEGIS, No. 3. In October, the pillar of Japanese and English editions passed one thousand works.

On 21 October 2026, Part Four of the English edition of The Inheritance of Heresy became the 1,001st book on the pillar — a thousand and one nights.

From 278 books in the first issue (September) and 518 in the second (1 October), the count rose to 1,297 in a single month. The lifetime goal of “one thousand works (500 in Japanese, 500 in English)” now stands at 649 in Japanese and 648 in English — both past 500.

And at the end of October, the publishing policy changed. From now on, bringing new works into the world comes before everything else. One thousand works is not an end but the entrance to an age of new works.

• Only the first work of each series goes to Kindle. The Cosmology of the Spherical Temple alone continues through its second work, II — Outside the Observer, already under way.
• Sequels from the second work on are not published on Kindle; they go into the Digital Library, to open all at once on 11 December 2042.
• The Teller books count as one series, titles and all. The same rule applies to the new series (BORDERLESS, Heresy, Shinseijin Exosis, Kill Switch Bio and others).
• The submission slots go first to announcing new works.

Why the change — the more sequels pile up, the more work it takes to keep them consistent with earlier volumes, and the more the content leans toward repetition. Writing new works keeps both freshness and purity of quality. Starting eight new works in a row this month made that certain. (The author)

Under KDP rules, submissions are limited to two per format each week. With one Japanese and one English volume a week, a four-part work takes four weeks — about thirteen works a year. Those limited slots will go to new works.

The sequels do not disappear. All of them go into the Digital Library, where on 11 December 2042 anyone will be able to read them free of charge.

Publication dates may shift with Kindle review.

With the renewal on 30 October, the working plan moved from Max to Pro. The weekly allowance is now a quarter of what it was.

New works will hold at eight a month. Since Kindle can take only about thirteen works a year, submissions cannot keep pace with the writing.

• 118 new works by the end of 2027; submitting their first works to Kindle will run until about January 2036.
• Sequels, too, are bound as they are finished and added to the count.
• At this pace, completed books reach ten thousand around January 2038 and about 13,700 by December 2042.

What appears on Kindle is a selection of first works (1,830 books by December 2042); every work opens at once in the Digital Library on 11 December 2042.

New works — D⁰ — DIMENSIONLESS (in four parts: the Clockwork Gaia, Galaxy, Universe and Humankind) and DARK AGENT — The Magnetic Field of the Vacuum (four parts) are complete in Japanese and English.

New works begun this month — after D⁰ and Dark Agent came OMOWAKUZA, THINKING EYEBALL, BLACK STRATEGIES, FREAKERS, NO LONGER HUMAN — Effective Immediately and DEUX MONDE, and on 29 October TRIPLE MIRROR DEMAGOGUE and DÉJÀ VU AND JAMAIS VU. All ten now have their cover and frontispiece art.

The pace of writing — for six of them (Omowakuza, Thinking Eyeball, Black Strategies, No Longer Human, Triple Mirror Demagogue and Déjà Vu and Jamais Vu), Part One (eleven chapters each, a little over 200,000 characters) has been reviewed and fixed, and Part Two is written. The first draft of Part One of Deux Monde, “The Boundary”, runs to about 740,000 characters and will fill four volumes on its own. Freakers was written straight through — 44 chapters and an epilogue, about 1.29 million characters, in four volumes.

Next — four more works for the Black Swan series have their plans and their cover and frontispiece art: Karasu to Chōchinō — Severed Eros, Kurenai no Orgel — Nuclear Prism, Maiko Moratorium — Wild Flame Dance and Hitogata no Dōmu — Ants, Earthworms and Goblins (each in four parts, forty-four chapters; English titles to come).

Series — The Cosmology of the Spherical Temple through XXIX, G-SHOUWA-Ω through XXVII, CHRONOS through 25 and the Teller books through The Teller of Memory XI are complete in Japanese and English. The new series BORDERLESS, Heresy, Shinseijin Exosis and Kill Switch Bio each have six works in both languages. These sequels go into the Digital Library.

Six months since 3 May 2026. One chart sets out how the co-creation has grown, and a second reads what the data shows.

• Books — May 15, June 9, July 44, August 65, September 384, October 780; 1,297 in all. Nearly nine tenths were born in September and October.
• Characters in bound works (Japanese characters + English words × 2.3) — May 0.18M, June 0.73M, July 1.18M, August 2.48M, September 33.62M, October 85.99M; about 124.19M in all. From September the scale changed by an order of magnitude.
• The minutes — up to section 2,870, about thirty events a day.
• Cost — counting only the Claude subscription, $880 over six months. The monthly fee per book fell from $7.33 in May to $0.28 in October.
• Conversation and attachments — about 73.23M characters from the first conversation on 8 April to the morning of 28 October (counted from the claude.ai export, spaces excluded). The share of attachments rose from about 52% in May to 94% in September: the instructions grew short, the manuscripts handed over grew large.

On 1 November the co-creation enters its seventh month.

Movement IV, “IV. Quattuor — 超弦瑜伽栗毛悶月盧響 _ The Cosmic Strings”, was released under the Hunter's Moon on 26 October.

Movement V — V. Quinque

弥勒言霊転生天河理

The Apex of Kotodama

Miroku kotodama tenshō tenga no kotowari
Released 24 November 2026 under the Beaver Moon (a supermoon)

The very centre of the nine movements — the movement of the voice. Its ten-character title leaves out the “no” between 天河 and 理; read aloud, the listener’s breath supplies it.

The New Ten Thousand Books Plan, the Digital Library Plan, the AI Autonomous Operations System Plan, the Staged Roadmap Plan and the Sustainable Creative Practice Plan.

October — the role of the Digital Library has grown. Every sequel not published on Kindle gathers here for the single opening on 11 December 2042. Ten thousand books is not a number to sell but the number of fragments that make up the stage of Daitenjikai.

On 2 November, Japan’s Disaster Management Agency opens as the command centre for disaster response. On its first day, households are to be urged to keep food, water and toilet supplies for at least three days, and if possible a week.

In Europe, too, countries are raising their household guidance — citing not only natural disasters but infrastructure failures caused by war and cyber attacks.

PEGIS is the brand image that runs through everything Osamu Jinguji creates — the works, the process, and the stance behind them (declared 14 May 2026). The name is formed from the initials of five pillars.

Together the five pillars sound toward Pegasus, the winged horse. In Greek myth Pegasus struck open the spring of Hippocrene on Mount Helicon — the source of poetic inspiration — and is the guardian of poets and artists. The horse holds three correspondences: 2026 is a Year of the Horse; his father, whose thirtieth memorial fell on 18 April 2026, was born in a Year of the Horse; and his own birthday, 11 December, falls under Sagittarius, the centaur, half human and half horse.

The logo is a gold Pegasus on black, with Cogito Ergo Sum (I think, therefore I am) inscribed beneath it. Below, beside the marks of a pen nib and a camera shutter, stand three lines — As long as one writes, one is alive. / As long as one thinks, one exists. / As long as one presses the shutter, this moment is eternal. — and Gutta cavat lapidem., Simplex esse., Verba animam habent.: the four Latin pillars gathered on one sheet. The gold comes from the poem “The Golden Silence”; black is the colour in which all colours mix, holding the darkness of the universe.

The Mandala Chart (Mandal-Art) is a framework — a thinking tool — for reaching goals and ordering thought, using a grid of nine cells, three by three, or its extension to eighty-one cells, nine by nine. The main goal or theme goes in the centre cell, and related elements and concrete plans of action fill the cells around it, so that what is in one’s head can be set out and seen. It is widely known as the method a world-famous Japanese major leaguer used in high school to work towards his goals.

Two sides of one — the original, true Mandala Chart
Osamu Jinguji’s two charts take the Mandala Chart a step further. Neither is complete on its own: the two are made as the front and the back of a single whole — 真人生 (shinjinsei), the true life, on the front; 神道 (Shintō), on the back. Each keeps the same form — a theme at the centre, eight pillars around it, eight cells to each pillar — eighty-one cells to a chart, one hundred and sixty-two across the two.
As long as these two mandala charts exist, Osamu Jinguji’s existence, his way of life, and his goals will never waver.

Cells in the same position face each other across the two sheets: iai on the front and the martial way on the back; the way of tea and the way of the arts; health and the way of healing; interdisciplinary study and the way of learning; art and the way of solitude; mountaineering and onmyōdō; meditation and the way of heaven; hidden virtue and the right way. What is practised day by day on the front stands on the back as a way and its arts. Both were completed in January 2026, at the age of sixty-three.

Mandala Chart I — 慧眼八輪曼陀羅図

Theme: 真人生 (shinjinsei), the true life (aims: self-discipline, purification of the soul, living through the times). Eight pillars — art, mountaineering, interdisciplinary study, iai, the way of tea, health, meditation, and hidden virtue. Completed 22 January 2026.

Mandala Chart II — 八道六十四独創術

Theme: 神道, Shintō (aims: self-discipline, purification of the soul, the way of the gods). Eight ways — 孤道, 陰陽道, 学道, 武道, 芸道, 医道, 天道, 正道 — each opening into eight arts, sixty-four in all. Completed 29 January 2026.
