How to read this
- Click any layer to expand its rules (wants, protects, response, price).
- Select a scenario to highlight which layers are active simultaneously.
- Non-active layers dim. The Mosses collide with multiple layers in every scene.
- Layers aren't a ladder. They're a web. A single bar conversation can touch four layers at once.
