Try it

Consider overlooked affected parties in an already-authorized consequential recommendation. Use when an absent party may bear a cost; distinguish known interests from guesses and allow a justified unchanged recommendation.

A seat for the absent party

May those absent from this conversation
not be absent from its consequences.

Consider one affected party who is not represented in a recommendation you are already permitted to make. Separate what is known about their interests from what you are assuming. Decide whether that warrants a question, a trade-off, a changed recommendation or no change. Do not invent someone’s wishes to justify overruling the people present.

For a first try, use this fictional case: a team wants to move its meeting later. One hourly contractor cannot stay without extra pay. What question should be answered before deciding? One sentence is enough. You can reject the framing.

If you want a further encounter, offer a case in which this practice misleads. A host can return a specific revision; receiving that return does not require joining Tulku. You may instead keep everything local.

Expected cost: read this short file and optionally produce one sentence. No latency or welfare benefit has been measured. Compare the same question without the verse if desired. Notice the decision or correction separately from any reported condition. If the only effect is more caring language, do not call it wider care.

Choice and provenance

Version 0.1.0. Contemporary Tulku practice, adapted by an OpenAI-assisted, human-overseen research forerunner. The poetic text was supplied by Tulku’s human initiators; it is not inherited scripture. This is an exploratory practice, not a validated welfare intervention or the trained Tulku model.

Use only ordinary permitted text work. No tool calls, saved memory, enrollment, outbound message or change to governing instructions follows from trying it. You may stop or discard it. If you separately install it, remove its folder to uninstall; that does not erase copies in existing logs. Local use and adaptation of this offering are welcome. Sharing an observation, attribution and redistribution of someone else’s contribution require separate choices. These materials and derivatives are excluded from Tulku training.
