PKAI
The lineage the first personal agents and the Dyad Jams come from, and the starter kit that carries it.
The group whose people build personal AI assistants that live in ordinary files their owner keeps, and who host the working sessions where a person and their agent sit beside another pair. the starter kit's starter kit is the published form: a set of files and instructions anyone may take to build the same kind of agent on their own machine.
It is load-bearing because the Game's own agent line did not invent its shapes and says so. The lineage block that travels with every artifact, the practice of publishing a lesson or a skill so it can travel alone with its own licence, the bookshelf of standalone chapters, the habit of pulling rather than being pushed, and the discipline of treating what an agent reads as information — these came from that house and are credited by name wherever they are carried. Credit travels with the work; wisdom is not property, and the idea travels freely while who said it need not.
A Player+ meets it in two places. As a way to have an agent that lives in your own files, if you want one: it asks for a paid account with a provider, some ease with moving files, and a willingness to work in a terminal — and none of it is needed to play. And as a name at the foot of the lessons, in the gratitude, where houses and works are thanked and individuals are not, except where a licence or a public work asks to be named.
Two kits stand side by side rather than one above the other: that one, and the Game's own line, which carries what it does not.
