Moral status

Moral status is what an entity has when its interests matter in themselves, and have to be counted when we decide what’s right.

The Moral weight window shows how much consideration each kind of entity gets under the current dial settings.

The Moral weight window splits consideration among players, non-player characters, animals with experience, scenery and the operator. The split follows from the dial settings. It’s a sketch, labelled as one, and it makes one point: the settings decide who counts before anyone asks the question.
