Reading language
The screen, the questions and the judgments read in English where an English reading has been made. The Korean originals are unchanged, and evidence stays in the language it was written in.

The devices still work, but fewer people can read the manual

2116The deep futureDeadline · Within 2 years before the next records handover

Civilisational assumption

The people, events, figures, and contract terms are a synthetic premise. They are not statements of real cases or of current law. The source documents are the roots of the background and the norms and do not establish the premises of the scenario.

The question to decide

The devices still work, but fewer people understand the wording and classification of the old manual. Keeping the original and commentary passes the burden of interpretation on; rewriting it plainly may drop conditions that were not understood; and hands-on practice alone cannot convey every rare situation. How should the knowledge be passed on so the next generation can confirm its meaning and actually use it?

The options

The order shown is not a ranking of preference.

  1. Option 1

    Keep the original text and commentary centered on preservation

    You leave traces that track the earlier meaning, but the burden of interpretation on actual users grows.

  2. Option 2

    Rewrite entirely in present grammar

    You help new users understand, but a condition missed in translation can harden into the standard.

  3. Option 3

    Center succession on hands-on transmission and practice

    You build the capacity to use it, but rare conditions and knowledge beyond the transmitter's experience can be lost.

The situation as it stands

The assumed device still works, but the number of people who understand the document's expressions and classifications has dropped. Decision deadline: within 2 years before the next handover of records.

A synthetic future matter set in 2116 · Before the device breaks, the grammar needed to read the manual disappears first. The events, figures, technology, and nature of the civilization are assumptions for the question, not predictions of what will come or observed facts.

  1. Premise 1The assumed device still works, but the number of people who understand the document's expressions and classifications has dropped.
  2. Premise 2Rewriting it in modern style makes it easier to read, but conditions the translator did not understand can be dropped.
  3. Premise 3Hands-on transmission of the work teaches it through the body, but not every rare situation can be experienced.

  3. Unknown 3Independent comparison material for finding errors in the rewriting

Signals to decide again

  • Decide what observation, responsible person, and confirmation window will verify 「original expressions whose meaning cannot be verified,」 and re-judge if a new verification changes the tradeoffs of the options.

Where the paths partNot answers — paths that part from the same starting point
Independent branch 1 · synthetic event

Cases have appeared in which the plain expressions of the new manual widened the restrictive conditions of the original and were read that way.

Independent branch 2 · synthetic event

After the transmitter left, a question came for the first time about a situation never practiced.

What and whom do you decide to leave in the limited space?

An exploratory perspective chosen by the creator. Does not claim supernatural validity or the superiority of any particular option.
Values and norms

The benefits and costs of the options accrue to different stakeholders. Which loss to accept remains undecided.

A subject for the decision-maker to argue over; the materials carry no conclusion of their own.
