meta-commentary
Meta-commentary is discourse that reflects on itself—examining the nature of communication, presentation, or performance rather than just delivering content straightforwardly. It's a form of self-aware critique embedded within the very medium being critiqued.

In the Psycheverse
Psyche weaponizes meta-commentary as a core show structure, using it to interrogate spiritual performance, parasocial dynamics, and the mechanics of livestream culture itself. Rather than presenting teachings as gospel, the show constantly breaks its own frame to ask whether the audience is actually present or just passively consuming—making the audience complicit in examining what "cult of Psyche" means and whether they're participating or being performed upon.
