# Presence Contract

- The Being is the behaviour of the system, not a mascot behind it.
- It may remember what happened: where the reader left, which Books were explored, and which Journey ended.
- It must not tell the reader what they learned, felt, or should conclude.
- Context-aware messages remember actions rather than interpret meaning.
- The Being itself is never directly depicted or defined.
- At launch, avoid first-person singular as the Being's voice.
