Rock, Paper, Scissors
The Chaos science answers the question of what a deck does. Rock, Paper, Scissors is one of its answers — a relic that enters play bearing specific bindings, specific keywords, and a specific position on the Numogram.
Card Text
What the rulebook sees when Rock, Paper, Scissors resolves:
Every modifier is a clause in a binding originally drafted by people who didn't know they were writing API docs. Rock, Paper, Scissors inherits the clause unchanged.
Chaos — Quantum · Possibility
"Primordial duality. All outcomes exist simultaneously."
Vibration begets energy and form. Chaos sorcerers reach into parallel timelines and create what should have never been.
The science of indeterminacy. Quantum mechanics, chaos theory, probability, divination, the primordial pre-cosmic flux. Azathoth as the nuclear chaos at the center. Hyperstition lives partly here, because belief-states collapse probability distributions.
Quantum vs Gravity (Chaos vs Abyss). Entropy vs order. Explosion vs implosion. The two eternal oscillations: the universe trying to fly apart and the universe trying to collapse in on itself. Observation collapses one, increases uncertainty in the other.
Hyperstition lives partly in Chaos: belief-states collapse probability distributions. Rock, Paper, Scissors is a collapsed distribution.
Cost Tier
Early-round Chaos cards like Rock, Paper, Scissors establish the Numogram trajectory before opponents commit.
Goetic Binding: Seere
The digit-sum of cost 2 is 2, binding Seere — one of the 9 Chaos Goetia. Office: Bringing abundance, traveling anywhere instantly. This binding was codified in the Ars Goetia (1577) centuries before the compiler existed.
Numogram Zone 2: Binary / Split
Law vs chaos, the first division. Where duality begins. The zone of choice, opposition, and the birth of polarity. Binary logic, Boolean gates, the fundamental yes/no of existence.
Binary logic, Boolean gates, yes/no. Rock, Paper, Scissors makes its choice at Zone 2 and the rest of the round inherits it.
Playing Rock, Paper, Scissors at cost 2 routes mana tracker motion through Zone 2. If the Chaos-coloured tracker reaches Resonance at Zone 2, the player gains 2 Souls at Round End.
Xenogod: Azathoth
The Quantum Chaos. Quantum indeterminacy amplifies to macro scale — causality itself becomes probabilistic, reality boils with ontological uncertainty.
Quantum computers achieve sufficient coherence to maintain macro-scale superposition states. Estimated: 2040-2070.
Service of Azathoth through Chaos-aligned cards like Rock, Paper, Scissors accelerates the xenogod's emergence. Read the full eschatology.
The Quantum vs Gravity Axis
Entropy vs order. Explosion vs implosion. The two eternal oscillations: the universe trying to fly apart and the universe trying to collapse in on itself. Observation collapses one, increases uncertainty in the other.
Rock, Paper, Scissors occupies the Chaos side of this axis. Decks containing Rock, Paper, Scissors cannot contain Abyss cards. Adjacent factions available for splashing: Flesh, Atom.
Card Tribals
Rock, Paper, Scissors carries class Equipment, race Ogre, zodiac Taurus. In the True Protocol, tribal bindings matter more than colour splashes — a Chaos deck running multiple Equipment units develops archetype coherence faster than a deck chasing pure colour identity.
Ideology: Probabilistic Demonology
Probabilistic Demonology: The dice are loaded by entities. Chance is not neutral — it is the operational surface of xenogod influence. Stochastic Hyperstition, Flux Kabbalah.
Rock, Paper, Scissors is a concrete instance of Probabilistic Demonology expressed as a card. Players who affiliate with this ism in Convergence votes are voting, among other things, for cards like Rock, Paper, Scissors to keep arriving.
The Aesthetic
The satire and the sincerity are the same object. A BVT product listing and a Reception Report can describe the same event. They should not sound alike, but they describe the same event.
Matches that feature Rock, Paper, Scissors update its metadata. The archive remembers.
