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.

If the notation is standardized, whose speech becomes the standard?

Reconstruction of the past

The reference date for materials is 1447-01-01. Only the explicit original texts of that time are used as background; the three situational premises and the later branches are fictional. Real outcomes, revised systems, and success cases known later are not used as facts of the initial input. This is a modern retrospective question setup and is not a claim that people of that time made this decision.

The question to decide

Each village writes the same thing differently. Unifying the notation makes them easier to read for each other, but the sounds of villages that depart from the standard are less visible. When preserving local notation requires explanations or conversion tables, how far must the notation be aligned so that each can read the other's writing?

The options

The order shown is not a ranking of preference.

  1. Option 1

    Agree on one shared notation

    It reduces the burden of reading each other, but the sounds of regions that are not the standard show up less.

  2. Option 2

    Respect each village's sounds and notation

    It preserves the expression of one's own speech, but differences in understanding remain in texts that cross villages.

  3. Option 3

    Use regional notation together with a correspondence table

    It leaves a way to interpret each other's differences, but creates the burden of building and updating a table.

The situation as it stands

The reconstructed villages write their own speech in the new script and write the same things in different ways. Decision deadline: within 90 days until the shared notation agreement.

Reconstruction of the past as of 1447-01-01 · The way a village writes down its sounds has come to differ from its neighbors. A fictional case newly built from the principles of documents of that time. The organizations, people, figures, and events that appear are not real Decision-making records.

  1. Premise 1The reconstructed villages write their own speech in the new script and write the same things in different ways.
  2. Premise 2Aligning on one form makes exchange easier, but it sets off disputes over which village's sounds become the standard.
  3. Premise 3Leaving regional notation keeps one's own speech visible, but it needs explanation for first-time readers.

  2. Unknown 2The villages that will take part in setting the common standard
  3. Unknown 3A way to add newly used words to the correspondence table

Signals to decide again

  • Decide what observation, responsible person, and confirmation window can verify "differences that change the meaning and differences that change only the sound", and re-judge when 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

The same notation referred to different everyday things in different villages.

Independent branch 2 · synthetic event

A story came up that a child who had learned the shared notation had stopped writing down the sounds used at home.

Can we read the effects of an act of belief without treating a prophecy as fact?

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.
