TIWCG

The Interdependency card-game system. Current executable content includes POLITICS (base game); SCARED SACRED is Expansion Set 1.

This README presents the TIWCG system entrypoint. It does not supersede the base-canon repository-name ruling in canon/canon_v03_base.md.

The frozen generalized architecture and implementation sequence are recorded in PLAN.md.

Current implemented base TCG: real events as cards, the EDCM circuit as rules engine. Three layers: L1 SUBSTRATE (official record; not playable; compiles each jurisdiction’s Machine deck) / L2 ENGINE (automated; the null clock guarantees total conversion absent human play) / L3 TABLE (players; the only source of repair in the universe).

• canon/ base canon v0.3 + Scared Sacred expansion canon v0.2
• base-game/ play rules v0.3, arcana v0.2, executable engine data, and sets/fifty-three-days/
• expansions/scared-sacred/ Expansion Set 1 boundary; its distinctive expansion content remains separate from Fifty-Three Days
• engine/ executable rules, Machine, inertial field, agendas/arcana, and balance harness
• render/ playable browser table over the real engine
• funding/ GoFundMe entry
• .agents/skills/ vendored from skill-lib (if present)

VIRTUAL ONLY — no physical printing of any set, ever.

The Litany (never satirical): I’m sorry. I forgive you. You are not alone. I love you.

Status: executable base ruleset and automated balance harness are implemented and test-backed; generalized TIWCG architecture is planned in PLAN.md. Human playtest and store/mobile delivery remain pending on main. Some explicitly logged card effects remain unresolved and must not be represented as complete.

hmmm — fear and the holy are the same six letters; the base game and its first expansion now also have separate addresses.

License

The TIWCG software is licensed under the Mozilla Public License 2.0 (SPDX: MPL-2.0). The full text is in LICENSES/MPL-2.0.txt. REUSE.toml records the same scope in machine-readable form (REUSE Specification 3.x, no per-file headers):

• MPL-2.0: engine/, render/, mobile/, scared-sacred_msdmd.ts, and the repository tooling .github/, .gitignore and REUSE.toml.
• MPL-2.0 (from The-Interdependency/skill-lib): the skill copies under .agents/.

hmmm: these paths are not licensed yet:

• canon/, base-game/ (rules text and the *.json card data), expansions/, funding/, PLAN.md
• docs/ (the icon artwork)
• README.md, which carries game content (the layer descriptions and The Litany) alongside this licensing map

A separate license for rules text (planned: Creative Commons attribution-share-alike terms) and a decision on the card data are still pending. reuse lint reports exactly these paths as missing license information, on purpose.

Usage: when you reuse TIWCG code, keep the MPL-2.0 notice and publish your changes to MPL-covered files under MPL-2.0. reuse spdx prints a per-file bill of materials. This section is a licensing map, not legal advice.
