Symbol Factory
A Symbol Factory is an institutional Mechanism of Control that creates, revives, restores, and reproduces a Master Narrative (a.k.a. Creation Templates) support and enable the Accumulating Classes Regime of Accumulation. Symbol factories are one aspect of the the Regimes Mechanisms of Control, the other being Ideological Institutions.

Notes
Symbol factories are an essential component of The System, required for its smooth operation. Without the constant reproduction of new templates and their constituent Archetypes, the people would wake up and the guillotines would come out, just like they did during the French Revolution.

Ruyle provides some early and instructive theorization[2]
The Freemason's Lodge, where members created the Masonic Tarot Deck, is a symbol factor[3]
