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.”
