Synthesized Effect Model

When RELiK works:

1. A world is authored with enough internal coherence to hold its own.
2. The world stays open enough for participants to submit themselves into it.
3. The experience absorbs participant fear, curiosity, belief, doubt, or desire.
4. The payload is not instruction. It is changed agency.
5. Participants leave with altered narrative musculature: they can ask better questions, author better worlds, or see an existing world differently.
