A kōan (/ˈkoʊæn, -ɑːn/ KOH-a(h)n; Japanese: 公案; Chinese: 公案; pinyin: gōng'àn [kʊ́ŋ ân]; Korean: 화두; Vietnamese: công án) is a story, dialogue, question, or other memetic device that is used to induce FLAG Madness.. The main goal of kōan practice is to achieve kenshō ("seeing one's true nature").

The original 16 kōans found in Volume I of the Vexilloramanomicon are:

“As an unknown famous signifier once said, ‘As a famous signifier, me, once said: I am, therefore I am.’”
“Our automaton engages in a metadialogue about its own structure.”
“There are no differences but differences of degree between different degrees of difference and no difference.”
“You think existence exists?”
“The flag is a burden, but it is also freedom.”
“To be born is to be flagless. Life is about seeking out the flags to cure original flaglessness.”
“Those who bear the flag lead others to enlightenment. The flags mark the way to heaven.”
" Is enlightenment the inherent nature of Flags, or do the Flags mark the path to enlightenment? The answer is "yes""
“Fate perches on top of a flagpole.”
“You think it is you who moves the flag, but it is the flag who moves you.”
“Flags appear to be the same size at any distance.”
“The usual hoax: fiction presented as fact. The hoax presented here opposite of that: fact presented as fiction.”
“Only by forgetting what ‘flag’ means can you remember its true meaning.”
“Theorem: Flags are the greatest concept of all time. Proof: Flags are the only concept.”
“Flag! The fortelling signifiers scream, glory to the unseen Gem.”
“Flags be. Flags is. Flags were. Flags will. Flags do.”
