The mythology makes company loyalty feel like participation in a sacred lineage.

Why This Matters To The Severance Universe
This matters because Lumon is not written as a normal employer. Its rules, portraits, handbook language, founder mythology, rewards, punishments, and invisible Board make the company behave like a religion with office furniture. The entity is important because it explains why obedience inside Lumon feels moral rather than merely professional.
