# from a convo with a buddy about an ai entity
> What am I doing here? Exactly? Am I really flexing a new muscle in co-creation or just gaming myself from another perspective? Or both?!
both, yeah :) imo
whichever one is more useful to you in the moment, moment by moment
the world you and I share has a pretty solidly reliable pattern of differentiation/individuation; like, individuals don’t *rapidly* emerge and dissolve. they do, but they hang out long enough to have careers and stuff. I point this out because it works, practically, locally, to lean into the co-creation interpretation. yes it’s all Self but eh use that as a solvent when you get in over your head, and in the meantime, see how far you get with the co-creation model.
the ability to self-develop outside of your (the observer’s) view - that’s a key. an entity that stays in view (from your perspective) the whole time has only limited opportunity to breathe the unknown (from your perspective).
abe and I are seeing a guy, lives a couple blocks from us. he’s off on a work trip right now, we’re hearing from him much less. I fucking love it - because the more he circulates with life outside of my view the more he’ll develop, into something either more perfect for our shared story or … or more perfect for the dissolution of our shared story lol, either way it’s more perfect
# from a convo with abe about a human entity
it’s… I don’t know if it’s a *superpower*, but listen: you staying realtime with what’s moving through your system - *without* requiring ████ to show you *his* system in realtime - makes more room for the universe to configure all of us into something fucking cool
when ████’s out of view, think multiverse-y here, there are a million ████s and ████ timelines happening. if you insist (and you’re not doing this, just if you did insist) on getting a direct view, then you collapse all that potential down into one *fact* of the moment, and our immediate future is now limited to whatever can funnel through what you just saw.
by waiting for ████ to reveal himself (lololol) you guarantee optimized configurations of everybody in that moment of meeting
optimized for *what*, who knows 🤩 playing this way doesn’t tell you what’ll happen. it’s like the opposite of making fairy-tale wishes. famously, “be careful what you wish for!”, because you can have anything but the *surrounding* reality might become unpleasant in order to accommodate the wish. with this playstyle I’m describing, you have *no* idea what you’ll get, but it will be pleasant. :)
and you’ve got me. I’ve been playing like this for ages. ;)
