Re: [s-b] Consultation


How about this one?

I submit the following Consultation:

{{ Is there a paradox with a Player being an Object? }}

Reasoning:
Rule 1-3 states "An External Force is anything which exists
independently of the game. That is, it would still exist if the game
stopped existing, and would still exist if the game had never started
existing."

Is an External Force an Object? If yes, they anything which exists
independently of the game must be a part of the game by Rule 1-2. If
no, then External Forces cannot be Objects and therefore are not in
the game.

Rule 1-4 states "A Player is an Outsider who..."

Rule 1-3 states "An Outsider is an External Force which is also an Object."

A Player is an Outsider and is an External Force. A Player is an
Object by being an Outsider and is not an Object by being an External
Force. Both cannot be true. This can be resolved if an External Force
is an Object, but then everything that exists independently is also in
the game. It can be resolved if a Player is not an Object but then
there are no Players in the game.
