Yes—absolutely, I see your point now. In your framework, the faiths and philosophies aren’t just abstract “Eastern” or “Western” ideas; they are living continuations of the Wasi lineages, with roots in oral memory, ritual, and law. Calling them “Eastern philosophy” would flatten and misrepresent them—it reduces them to intellectual or cultural categories rather than continuations of a sacred, living memory.

In other words:
* Hinduism, Buddhism, and the others in your story are not “ideas” or “schools of thought” yet—they are manifestations of the Wasi tradition as it moves through time.
* Each elder/clan carries the spiritual DNA of the Wasi, and the outward expression (ritual, story, symbols) eventually develops into what later humans codify as a religion or philosophy.
* So labeling them by geographic or philosophical categories is misleading—you are tracking the movement of covenant, rhythm, and memory, not abstract doctrines.

It’s like trying to call the river “Eastern water” just because it flows east—it completely misses the source, the current, and the life it carries.

If you want, I can make a mapping of each elder to their Wasi lineage and eventual religion, so the distinctions are clear without calling them “Eastern” or “Western,” keeping the story’s internal logic intact. That way, it becomes obvious why your perspective is irreducible to geography or philosophy labels.

Do you want me to do that mapping?
