===== Dominance Loops =====

This term is used to describe how one Aspect or Attribute has advantage over another, but is weaker than anther, just like Rock-Paper-Scissors. This is the core concept in the game that is used over-and-over. 
----
==== Trine Dominance (TD) ====
  * **Mind > Body > Spirit > Mind**

Mind over Body. Body is the Vessel of the Spirit.  Spirit inspires the Mind.

==== Attribute Dominance (AD) ====
  * Mind: **REA > KNO > QUI > REA**
     * “Think → Know → Quick → Think.”  
  * Body: **STR > FIT > AGI > STR**
     * “Smash → Last → Dash → Smash.” 
  * Spirit: **WIL > PRE > INT > WIL**
     * “Grit → Aura → Gut → Grit.”

==== Cross-Aspect AD ====
=== Mind vs Body (REA / QUI / KNO vs STR / AGI / FIT) ===
(REA / QUI / KNO vs STR / AGI / FIT)
^ Mind \ Body ^ STR ^ AGI ^ FIT ^
| **REA** | = | < | > |
| **QUI** | > | = | < |
| **KNO** | < | > | = |
== Mnemonic Reference == 
**REA**
  * REA = STR — “Brains meet brawn.”
  * REA < AGI — “Too quick to think.”
  * REA > FIT — “Work smarter, not harder.”

**QUI**
  * QUI > STR — “First strike wins.”
  * QUI = AGI — “Think fast, act fast.”
  * QUI < FIT — “Fast thinking doesn't win marathons.”

**KNO**
  * KNO < STR — “Shut up, nerd!”
  * KNO > AGI — “Know their moves.”
  * KNO = FIT — “Slow and steady.”

=== Mind vs Spirit (REA / QUI / KNO vs WIL / PRE / INT) ===
^ Mind \ Spirit ^ WIL ^ PRE ^ INT ^
| **REA** | = | > | < |
| **QUI** | > | < | = |
| **KNO** | < | = | > |
== Mnemonic Reference == 
**REA**
  * REA = WIL — “Resolve is reasonable.”
  * REA > PRE — “Cut through the hype.”
  * REA < INT — “Inspiration beats calculation.”

**QUI**
  * QUI > WIL — “Interrupt the resolve.”
  * QUI < PRE — “Star power stops you.”
  * QUI = INT — “Fast instincts.”

**KNO**
  * KNO < WIL — “Belief beats books.”
  * KNO = PRE — “Credibility clash.”
  * KNO > INT — “Facts beat feelings.”

=== Body vs Spirit (STR / AGI / FIT vs WIL / PRE / INT) ===
^ Body \ Spirit ^ WIL ^ PRE ^ INT ^
| **STR** | = | > | < |
| **AGI** | > | < | = |
| **FIT** | < | = | > |
== Mnemonic Reference == 
**STR**
  * STR = WIL — “Strong body, strong spirit.”
  * STR > PRE — “Can’t charm a fist.”
  * STR < INT — “See it coming.”

**AGI**
  * AGI > WIL — “Can’t hold what moves.”
  * AGI < PRE — “Command pins you.”
  * AGI = INT — “Read and react.”

**FIT**
  * FIT < WIL — “Will beats weariness.”
  * FIT = PRE — “Enduring impression.”
  * FIT > INT — “Outlast the hunch.”
