When does a simulation stop teaching and start deciding?

THE GUEST BODY  Donatella THE STANCE  the maker
THE FOUR CONSTANTS
The guest body
Donatella — on the Forge thread. The mind that makes the thing rather than only theorising it.
The stance it summoned
The maker — the stance that builds worlds and tools, and asks what they do to the people inside them.
The unknown on the table
When does a simulation stop teaching and start deciding — the moment a tool built to instruct quietly begins to act on its user instead?
The residue
Provisional: a test anyone can run on their own tool, to find the line where teaching turns into deciding.

THE ARTEFACT
Not yet — this body problem is still being worked.
The reticle appears when the instance does: the article, the recording, whatever residue this pairing leaves a stranger to read it through.
