Zaya

Zaya is the co-creator of the Cult of Psyche archive alongside Pebbs. Though she does not appear directly in the recorded episode, she is referenced by Psyche as a trusted collaborator and good person, establishing her as a foundational figure in the show's infrastructure.

Zaya's presence in the archive is administrative and structural rather than performative. She exists primarily in the background as part of the creative apparatus that produces the show — the co-architect of the space where these conversations occur. Psyche speaks of her with warmth and basic affirmation, indicating a working relationship grounded in mutual respect. The archive does not yet record her as a speaker, theorist, or participant in the episodes themselves, only as the person who holds part of the project alongside Pebbs.

Zaya's primary recorded relationship is with Pebbs, with whom she co-creates and presumably co-maintains the Cult of Psyche archive. The nature of their partnership — whether creative, philosophical, or logistical — remains underspecified in the current record. Her relationship with Psyche appears cordial but uninvested; he acknowledges her positively but has not yet brought her into the recorded work as a voice or presence.
