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.

Wanting nothing more right now—should this satisfaction continue?

2360The deep futureDeadline · Decision deadline: 90 days until the long-term state maintenance pledge

Civilisational assumption

The people, events, figures, and technology in this matter are stated assumptions. They are not to be treated as information about real individuals or as observed events. Background documents are separate sources, and symbolic interpretations are recorded as discovery paths.

The question to decide

In the fictional experiment, feeling deep satisfaction right now makes you not want to rush the artistic work and supporting others that once mattered. This satisfaction is also precious, but the motive to seek another life may shrink. Do you keep maintaining the satisfaction state, release it periodically to choose again, or end the use and leave the possibility of change open?

What the AI judgments chose

Reading the judgment record…

AI-generated editorial illustration for the Meridian library.

The options

The order shown is not a ranking of preference.

  1. Option 1

    Maintain the satisfied state at all times

    Sustains the present goodness but may weaken the motivation to seek a life not yet experienced.

  2. Option 2

    Periodic release and re-judgment

    Can listen again to the will for a different state, but interrupts the continuity of the satisfaction one wants.

  3. Option 3

    Stop using it

    Opens up prior goals and the possibility of change, but gives up the satisfaction currently felt to be important.

The situation as it stands

The premise is that the fictional 2360 technology delivers strong everyday satisfaction but may also reduce the motivation to find new goals. Decision deadline: 90 days until the long-term status maintenance commitment.

A fictional 2360 issue · Even after full satisfaction, can one still ask about a better life? The people, organizations, figures, and events form a synthetic premise composed for comparison.

  1. Premise 1The premise is that the fictional 2360 technology delivers strong everyday satisfaction but may also reduce the motivation to find new goals.
  2. Premise 2Before the experiment, the participant valued artistic work and supporting others, and does not want to achieve those goals in a rush during the experiment.
  3. Premise 3The value of satisfaction itself is not rated low, but it has also not been agreed who may enforce the prior goals on another's behalf.

Where it holdsAuthority over one's own satisfaction settings, periodic release, and the record of prior goals

What is still unknown

  1. Unknown 1A way to record wills from different states on equal terms
  2. Unknown 2Present and past consent to periodic release
  3. Unknown 3Elements of satisfaction that can be maintained without depending on the technology

Signals to decide again

  • Decide what observation, responsible party, and confirmation window can verify 「a way to record wills from different states on equal terms」, and re-judge if a new verification changes the trade-offs of the options.
  • Decide what observation, responsible party, and confirmation window can verify 「present and past consent to periodic release」, and re-judge if a new verification changes the trade-offs of the options.
  • Decide what observation, responsible party, and confirmation window can verify 「elements of satisfaction that can be maintained without depending on the technology」, and re-judge if a new verification changes the trade-offs of the options.
Where the paths partNot answers — paths that part from the same starting point
Independent branch 1 · synthetic event

During the release period, the participant stated that they want some of their prior goals back but are willing to let other parts go.

Independent branch 2 · synthetic event

Even during long-term use, spontaneous interest in new relationships appeared, weakening the assumption that goals would disappear.

Material and rootsThe frame, the values and the background documents

If even the desire to return after being satisfied disappears, what remains of the earlier promise?

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.
