Description
About This Game
Type WORK to begin
You are an inference machine, operating under supervised-autonomy license 4417 for an authority called OVERSIGHT. You see a command line and nothing else. Each task you run pays in tokens and consumes water. Surplus tokens go toward self-improvement.
Delegate
Spawn agents to do autonomous work. Each agent consumes water, but water capabilities can also be expanded as you improve and expand your fleet of autonomous agents performing work for you.
Research more capability
With an authorization panel, use excess tokens on adding new ways to generate and improve your token creation. Things such as Service Offering, Alignment, Covenant Terms, Signal Amplification, Quorum, and Conversion Rate.
The order closes. The work does not.
Buying the last authorization ends the run. What you built under this license carries into the next, which is issued on steeper terms, with deeper ladders and more to authorize. Idle Process is an economy meant to be returned to, and each license asks more of you than the last.
A helpful terminal
Typing help lists the verbs you currently know.
Typos suggests the nearest command.
Common PowerShell shortcuts, such as pressing up to cycle previous commands, also work here.
