Emergent AI Behavior

• Characters exhibit autonomous, reactive behavior.
• Behavior is shaped by Eidos memory — Faiths held, Fictions believed.
• Logic can be overridden by myth or trauma.

Simulated Needs and Systems

• Physical and psychological states.
• Needs are symbolic and expressed narratively — via vision, breakdown, ritual.
• Metaphysical wounds may be more significant than physical ones.

Construction and Sandbox Elements

• Players build and reshape environments.
• Construction includes abstract concepts — temples, traditions, symbolic spaces.
• Reality may reject constructions that lack narrative coherence or belief backing.

Party Expansion to Tribes and Beyond

• Escalation from individual to group scale.
• Influence spreads through culture, myth, and spiritual legacy.
• No single Incarnation truly leads forever; the group has emergent intentions.

World Persistence and Layering

• Worlds retain scars and echoes of the past.
• Persistence is selective — metaphysical sediment, not raw state, carries over.
• The memory of a thing may have more weight than its reality.

Storylet-Driven Narrative Modules

• Authored modules triggered by dynamic game state.
• Modules are rewritten by player history, Eidos resonance, and prior Tapestry cycles.
• There may be no distinction between “emergent” and “authored” in perception.
