@mechapoetic oh, didn't mean that. just hoping that thinking systems and agency are important will no longer be the mark of the oppressor.
@mechapoetic dubious. i see a qualitative difference between "stab Polonius fast or stab Polonius slow" vs. "do any of 10,000 things".

@chaosprime yes, these are different kinds of scripted things you can be allowed to do in a given situation! -
@mechapoetic sure. there are literally no situations that can't be reduced to that description. degree of constraint still signifies. -
@chaosprime ok so that categorically matters then. it's a fundamental truth. -
@mechapoetic i dunno. do you experience having two options the same way as having 10,000? do we think there is such a person? -
@chaosprime well, no? that's not what i'm saying at all though. i experience different forms differently. that's not my argument.

@chaosprime but at NO POINT playing a game, unless the game PERMITS it (i've yet to see this), can you just do literally anything you want -
@mechapoetic sure, that's impossible. systems can still be built to enable choice & exploration, paramaterized, or deny it, though, right?

@chaosprime anyway this is kind of the conversation i wanted to avoid on writing about holistic formalism but that's probably not possible -
@mechapoetic oh. sorry about that, then.
