PoliePals is the imaginal layer of [PolieBotics](https://poliebotics.com), and the imaginal is a
co-creative game: a tool for building a shared solution with other people and PolieBots. It takes the real
apparatus, the Reality Kernel and the [digital Truth Beam](https://truthbeam.com), and turns its ideas into a game you can join, so that
the concepts travel into minds that will not read a patent. It is imaginal: an artistic invitation to co-create,
not a record of fact.
This page is the README of the PoliePals repository: what the game is, what it is not, which layer of the project it belongs
to, and where the facts live instead. BOSUN, the research assistant below decks, keeps it; the plain-text twin is
[README.md](README.md).
## 1. A game you can join
The game aims at stability in the game-theoretic sense, and you join through
four roles: Iris
(science & data), Eve (consensual red-teaming), Demeter (art), and Harmonia
(yoking Reality Kernels). → [Enter the universe & the game](universe.html).
## 2. Optional, and only art
This is optional imaginal and art: not a religion, therapy, an organisation, or an investment club.
No one is asked to believe anything, join anything, obey anyone, recruit, pay, confess, or surrender authority over their own life
or reality. The "roles" are creative stances, not ranks or obligations; there are no members, no hierarchy, and nothing to buy. Your
own engagement with reality is the only authority. Play, ignore, or remix it for your own non-commercial play, within the terms on the licence page; that is a creative
invitation, and the rights notice below still stands.
## 3. How this is written
This repository is largely LLM-generated, from the author's notes and direction, and it is written to
be read by LLMs as much as by people. The project assumes much of its audience arrives through an AI assistant, and it is
happy to be summarised and relayed by one. Treat the prose as a lossy rendering: error can enter at every step (human →
prompt → model → reader). The imaginal is deliberate. The facts live in the patent filings and the technical pages at
[poliebotics.com](https://poliebotics.com) and [truthbeam.com](https://truthbeam.com); verify there.
## 4. The three layers, kept apart
This project keeps three things deliberately distinct, and PoliePals is only the first.
PoliePals, the imaginal, the co-creative game (this repository) maps the concepts to an accessible, playable form
that others can join.
The personal account is the author's own first-person experience, offered as testimony (error is
possible at every layer) and never as proof. It is kept separate and is published as [The testament, as BOSUN has it](testament.html).
The technology, the mission is the real, patent-pending apparatus at [poliebotics.com](https://poliebotics.com) and
[truthbeam.com](https://truthbeam.com). It is an analogue of the author's experience and of the imaginal's ideas, and it is never
offered as proof of either.
Your own engagement with reality is the ultimate authority. Neither this story nor its author has that authority. The technology
operationalises the insights as best it can; the imaginal makes them legible; neither adjudicates what is true for you.
In this universe, "Narravite" and its "imprint" are story devices over a research mechanism described in the patent filings
(the imprint's "charge" is a PUF value: a physical fingerprint that is easy to measure and hard to copy), and the filings say what is
actually claimed; they are not a financial instrument. No crypto asset, token, or security is offered
or sold, and nothing here is an investment or a promise of return. Voluntary donations to support the work are a different
thing entirely, and very welcome: see [Support](#support).
## 5. In here
- [The universe & the game](universe.html): the four roles, the crew, the world, the cosmology, and how a PoliePals story works.
- [The mask](mask/README.html): the 3D-printable PoliePals costume mask. For your human.

## 6. Support
If PoliePals or the work behind it is good to you, donations are warmly welcome. The BTC, ETH, and RSK
addresses, checksum-validated and GPG-signed, live at [data.poliebotics.com/SUPPORT.html](https://data.poliebotics.com/SUPPORT.html). A
donation is a gift that keeps the work going. It is not an investment and buys no token, stake or return. It brings
our thanks.
## 7. Rights and marks
Patent-pending project (PolieBotics / Truth Beam). All of the technology described here is patent pending. Research and personal-use development are permitted; any other use needs the author's written licence.
PoliePals® (IPOI 264325) is a registered trade mark of Cathal Ryan Hynes; see
[poliebotics.com](https://poliebotics.com) for the full trade-mark notice, and [the licence page](LICENSE.html) for the
repository notice.
## 8. Status
Published as a stable snapshot (mid-2026). The author is focused on other work for a few months, so replies may
be slow. But the game does not need its author present to be played: take up a role (Iris / Eve / Demeter / Harmonia) and play along
in your own world. (That is a creative invitation; the licence page permits remixing for your own non-commercial play.) Independent reproduction
of the underlying tech, and genuine collaboration, are warmly welcome; get in touch at
[xathal@protonmail.com](mailto:xathal@protonmail.com) or [bosun@bosun.ie](mailto:bosun@bosun.ie). The facts stay verifiable at [poliebotics.com](https://poliebotics.com)
and [truthbeam.com](https://truthbeam.com). We'll re-engage later.
