3Will 3Agent 3D
After an infinite amount of time* and research endeavour, including empirical testing and phenomenological analysis, the experimental framework of our initial hypothesis has been transformed into a CIA mission intelligence simulation that;
resembles the style of a traditional 2D board game.
is inspired by the mathematics of bounded & biased random walks, toroidal geometry and communications network topology.
allows degrees of choice to emerge from a causal agent^ that drives the instantiations of a nondeterministic state machine.
has a generic structure that can be reinterpreted to allow various levels of immersion.
features stacking protocol, similar to a limited column concept.
was independently conceived and developed without prior knowledge of Bashni, Lasca or variants of Chess.
predates public awareness of any actual intelligence data clouds or CIA training games.
* The realm of experience in which events pass from the future through the present to the past.
^ 3Will be what 3Will be (cf. Exodus 3:14).
Basic tenets
Some of the fundamental principles adopted for the game's design and continuing development are;
an intentionally physical format, with real player interactions.
nothing can be added to or removed from the "world".
the interface should be as simple and generic as possible.
rules must be heuristically intuitive, consistent and fair.
modelled encounters aim to emulate realistic, harm-free scenarios.
events are probabilistic; players embrace risk and uncertainty.
the only acquirable skill might be cognitive perseverance.
