what your Dunbar number really represents is how many low-resolution tulpas you can maintain. when you end a relationship and add a new one, your new tulpa will have glitchy residue of the last occupant of the slot. given sufficient intimacy this can infect the actual person

So if you maintain social relationships by simulating people as tulpas, does that mean fictional characters take up some of the slots? Also I'd kind of expect it to really be the size of the index and for tulpas to be shared, maybe with a few parameters to modify their behavior.

pretty sure yeah. what if monotheism outcompetes polytheism because fewer slots taken up seems likely yeah

I think my Dunbar's sorting is object oriented, and affects my memory in a weird way. I'll remember "The friendly woman at work with a bunch of kids knows karate." Later I realize those properties are true of 3 different people, and now I don't know which to call for backup.
