idea: maybe the player could select how to engage the characters in a heated argument, for example by picking respecting them and having a phase of the game where they demonstrate great respect and patience and honouring for them in a ritual of welcoming and peace and value (like a tea). i’m regretting introducing them so rapidly and soon. i was thinking of how storms well on the horizon, and having ASoPC say something like: “When you are in touch with this peace, everything that is approaches you with a long, clear, and loud introduction.”

————- ASoPC walks peacefully up miles of mountainside to give blessings to the peak of the mountain. Each animal and plant and rock passed needs a blessing, which the player gives. ASoPC: “Everything is a part of us, and we are a part of everything else. We all need to be reminded of this, to survive.”

ASoPC: “Disagreements are ways of saying that we care for each other so much, that it need not be spoken of.”

idea: ASoPC could disperse the disagreement with a single word [i guess our culture has been making these simple button presses rather than having the player navigate commonalities and differences in the hearts of th arguers and select a word from many that would work]

ASoPC: "If you ever think you finally know something, that is when you will remind yourself with a mistake. We are all students for all time."

ASoPC: "When someone's heart is speaking, it is all that exists. Every heart must be allowed to share themself completely."

The lines starting with +rwkv are my typing, and those without are its response. Comment: as a nerd, I have a habit of coming up with answers to questions. I think usually it is considered better to think of where the asker is emotionally, and connect with that, than to answer questions readily. Questions are caring urges looking for their path. But instead I create answers below. +rwkv The great spirit of peace sits by you. What is the greatest good? +rwkv The great spirit of peace believes the greatest good is the wise pursuit of good. But they give you space pursue finding it yourself. It's a game - that's what the great spirit of peace believes. It's just like a game you'd play with friends. h [the bot introduced the game concept itself here] +rwkv It is the game of concluding wars and healing injuries. Yes, but what is the meaning of war? It's a problem of something bigger than you. A bigger problem to solve. +rwkv War seems perhaps a way for people who doing so well that they con suffer extreme death, to discuss strong differences. A way of saying that it is so obvious they love each other, that it need not be included in the discussion. [it’s probably important maybe to mention that wars are very dangerous, not only to the body but also to many other things (e.g. one’s psychological ability to raise a family caringly), and convincing expression to avoid them] A problem to be considered. Yes. It is a problem of difference. And that is the key to their use of force. +rwkv Force is a slow and somewhat frustrating way of approaching differences, that is used to slow down their resolution, so the parties can savor them for longer. And if one does not wish to share one's resources, how to solve this? Because it is not about the things, it is about sharing the things. This is the important thing. +rwkv When you feel that way, as if those resources belong to you and not everyone who lives among them, something important is going on in your feelings. Something crux to your life experience. What does to discuss mean? +rwkv Discussions are times when parties with different experiences bring them close, to learn what is more deeply common among them, by describing what is different. And you say all people are equal. All same. Why you want to discuss. You don't need to. All people are equal. Why you make this game. Why you need to find answer. Why you must find one.

ASoPC: “A great peace wells within you. All things have a path.”

The player is gently paddling a canoe on a still lake. A rainstorm is just clearing. Fish come and visit the canoe. The player can talk with the fish, and each has a story relating a little nearby human beings with the goings on of what is under the water. For example, a fish could have overheard that a couple are trying to replace a shoelace, while feeding. ASoPC: “The interconnection between everything is so obvious that some get upset when it is mentioned.”

The player can tramsform into their environment, merge with anything they say, and make choices that it would make while walking in its shoes. For example, they could become the lake, or a rock, or a nearby person looking for a new shoelace. The player’s body disappears when they do this. ASoPC: “When you care for and respect someone in a truly boundless and bottomless way, it is the same as being them yourself. This is because you think of and perceive everything that they do.”

The player turns into the lake, and helps the fish breathe and swim. The person looking for a replacement shoelace is by one shore.
