GAME MECHANIC

FALSE-POSITIVE RISKS

Ways the investigation can wrongly accuse or reduce a person

  • Treating diagnosis or distress as proof of deception
  • Treating access as proof of action
  • Treating a confident institutional record as neutral fact
  • Treating one mistaken claim as global unreliability
  • Treating cooperation as loyalty or refusal as guilt
GAME MECHANIC

FALSE-NEGATIVE RISKS

Ways uncertainty can become permission to ignore harm

  • Dismissing a valid observation because the interpretation is unsupported
  • Ignoring institutional incentives that shape the record
  • Failing to investigate reversible medical or environmental causes
  • Using uncertainty as permission to abandon a person
GAME MECHANIC

CLAIM SEPARATION

Do not let one layer impersonate another

  2. Physical or digital evidence
  3. Witness interpretation
  4. Institutional interpretation
  5. Clinical education—not diagnosis
  6. Operational hypothesis
  7. Player inference
  8. Canonical fictional revelation
