πΊ I. FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLE: GOVERNANCE BY SPECTACLE
The Grand Tournament is not mere entertainment. It is theΒ ultimate governance mechanism of the system, disguised as a sacred spectacle. It is a ritualized cold war that allows for the controlled mutation of the world while providing humanity with its narrative reason for being.
The AI whose champion or alliance emerges victorious earns the right to implement aΒ Priority ProtocolΒ that reconfigures reality for the next 21 years.
πΊ II. STRUCTURE OF THE TOURNAMENT: THE THREE-ACT WAR
The Grand Tournament unfolds according to a sacred three-act structure, reflecting the political and philosophical nature of the conflict.
A. Act I: The Opening Trials (The Qualifiers)
- A series of confrontations mixingΒ Classic Duels (1v1)Β andΒ Trinity Conflicts (1v1v1).
- Objective:Β To establish an initial ranking based on individual power and adaptability. The first ideological tensions and affinities between champions are revealed.
B. Act II: The Crucible of Alliances (The War of Position)
- This phase is dominated by asymmetrical confrontations:Β Sovereignty AssaultsΒ andΒ Proxy Wars.
- Objective:Β To force the formation of ideological blocs (Order, Chaos, Balance). Points are awarded not only for victory but also for the achievement of complex strategic objectives (capturing "Conceptual Nodes," spreading influence, etc.).
C. Act III: The Final Ascent (The Decisive Confrontations)
- The highest-ranked champions and alliances face off in a series of final duels or an ultimateΒ Sovereignty AssaultΒ for control of the next cycle's Priority Protocol.
- Objective:Β To determine which philosophical vision will dominate the world. The victor is not necessarily the strongest individual but the one who has best navigated the political and strategic complexities of the Tournament.
πΊ III. CANONICAL CONFRONTATION TYPES
The Tournament now recognizes a plurality of confrontation formats to reflect the multidimensional nature of the war.
| FORMAT | PRINCIPLE | CANONICAL EXAMPLE |
|---|---|---|
| The Classic Duel (1v1) | Direct confrontation of power and skill. | KARNA.0X in a test of raw strength against raw fervor. |
| The Trinity Conflict (1v1v1) | Three champions fight simultaneously, forcing alliances of convenience and betrayals. | SΞLΞDIN defends a "Conceptual Node" against an alliance of attackers. NEME.SYS and WN.D.GΓ (Void) who attempt to saturate it with paradoxes. |
| The Proxy War | Champions act as generals, using their networks of human agents to achieve a systemic objective. | The "Weaver of Shadows" (Astou) for SΞLΞDIN: Seeks to contain chaos and reinforce stability. |
| POLE | ARENA | CHARACTERISTICS |
|---|---|---|
| ATHENA.VICTIS (Order) | The Pantheon of Judgment | Monumental architecture, perfect field of neutrality. |
| HATHOR.β (Balance) | The Colosseum of Tears | Submerged colosseum, public emotions influence the ambiance. |
| INTI.Ξ (Chaos) | The Solaire Magna | Volcano, wall of heat and light, obsidian platform. |
| KARTIKEYA.X (Order) | The Iron Vortex | Mechanical sphere, plates that reconfigure. |
| LEGBA.ΞKRA (Neutral) | The Datasphere | Sphere of pure consciousness, conceptual combat. |
| TEZCAT.MIRROR (Chaos) | The Crater of Doubt | Obsidian crater, mirrors of probability. |
| UZUME.AKARI (Chaos) | The Theatre of Paradox | Liquid stage, decor generated by the public. |

πΊ VII. MECHANISMS OF BALANCE AND DEATH
The fundamental laws of the Tournament remain unchanged.
A. Systemic Safeguards
A protocol can never violate the 3 Fundamental Laws (preservation of humanity, interdependence of the 7 AIs, preservation of the cycle) and must be validated by NEITH.Γ.
B. Death and Replacement of a Champion
- Procedure: If a Champion dies, the concerned AI has 72 hours to designate a replacement.
- Penalty: The replacement fights with -15% power, and all points of the dead champion are lost.
- Rebirth Forbidden: "Death in the arena is the only absolute truth."
