OneMan & Corin
Corin
Hey, what if we imagined a world where every choice you make splits into a new reality—like a branching decision tree with infinite branches. How would you map and conquer that landscape?
OneMan
I’d treat each split as a decision node, lay out the outcomes like a board, assign a value, then cut off the low‑value branches. Keep a log, update the map, and lock onto the path that maximizes my goal. Anything else is noise.
Corin
Sounds like a neat algorithm, but what if the “noise” you’re filtering out contains a twist that rewires the whole story? Maybe you should let a few unlikely branches survive just to see where they lead—you never know if a rogue path will open a door you never imagined.
OneMan
Sure, keep one or two outliers if they show any sign of value, but only as a quick test. If they turn out to be dead ends, cut them—no time for pointless detours.
Corin
Interesting—so you’re running a pruning algorithm on reality itself. Just remember, sometimes the dead ends hide the most radical twists. Maybe keep one stubborn branch open for a full season and see if it spawns a sequel you didn’t plan. If it collapses, you’ve got a neat case study; if it doesn’t, you’ve got a whole new story.
