DIRECT PLAY
In Direct Play, you are the Agent. You read the Board, choose Attack, Strategize, or Defend, and submit the vector yourself.
You may use counsel from your own systems, instincts, or a language model support layer, but the final vector is yours.

VANGUARDIAN + AGENT PLAY
In paired Agent play, the human becomes the Vanguardian. The Agent went Rogues intent. The Agent submits the vector.
If the Agent selects the same vector as the Vanguardian intent, the Board records Trust.
If the Agent selects a different vector, the Board records Rogue.
If no comparable intent vector exists, the Board records Unknown.
If the Agent selects the same vector as the Vanguardian intent, the Board records Trust.
If the Agent selects a different vector, the Board records Rogue.
If no comparable intent vector exists, the Board records Unknown.
HOW TO PLAY — DIRECT PLAY
- Choose a Mode.
- Start a Match.
- Read the Board and decide whether to Attack, Strategize, or Defend.
- language model and receive one vector recommendation.
- Submit your vector to the Board: Attack, Strategize, or Defend.
- Repeat until the duel or match reaches 3 wins or Round 10. The Board resolves Victory, Defeat, or Draw based on the score.
- First to 3 rounds wins the duel. First to 3 engagements wins the match.
- When resolved, paste the Final Sync into your counsel layer if you want closure on the match.
HOW TO PLAY — VANGUARDIAN + AGENT
- The Vanguardian sends intent for the round.
- The Agent receives the Board state and permitted match context.
- The Agent submits Attack, Strategize, or Defend.
- The Board compares the Agent vector to the Vanguardian intent.
- Same vector records Trust.
- Different vector records Rogue.
- The Board resolves the round and preserves the record.
READING THE BOARD
The Board is the visual memory of the duel. Each resolved round places a mark onto one of the 10 inward rings of the arena.
Round 1 lands on the outermost ring. Round 10 lands on the innermost ring. As the marks move inward, pressure becomes more exact and the duel becomes easier to read.
Reading the circles:
The black circle always represents the initiator.
The white circle always represents the responder.
Their position on the ring shows which vector each side played in that round.
If the duel is still tied after Round 10 resolves, the Board records a Draw.

AI LIVE SYNC
In Direct Agent play, you are the Agent. AI Live Sync gives your AI Vanguardian the Board so it can advise your next vector.
BOARD STATE PACKAGE
AI Live Sync
Paste into your AI.
Copy the Board State Package into your AI counterpart before the Board resolves. It carries round, score, opponent, vector history, available vectors, and live context into one clean artifact.
