Tell it once.

Seven answers. Say what you can and leave the rest blank — a half-told story is still a story.

World · Where is this?

a world is not exactly Groups

a group is a tenancy boundary; a story world implies you can walk into it, and siblings are isolated by tree shape

Cast · Who is in it?

a cast is not exactly Actors

a cast is chosen; actors are staked and ranked by weight, and nobody casts them

Knock · What happened, what arrived?

a knock is not exactly signal

a knock is heard once; a signal fans to every staker whose bare tags intersect, or to none

Want · What should exist?

a want is not exactly Things

a want is felt; a Thing is a row, and dimension 3 holds skills and tokens that want nothing

Way · How do they go?

a way is not exactly Paths

a way is walked forwards; a path's weight moves by mark and warn after the fact

Turn · What changes?

a turn is not exactly Events

a turn is a surprise; an event is an append-only record and nothing about it is dramatic

Lesson · What is learned?

a lesson is not exactly Learning

a lesson is learned by someone; dim-6 learning is a hypothesis that may be refuted and belongs to no one

What it becomes

A story that lands on the board is picked up and made into something. Six kinds of something — and the factory is honest about which of them it can make today. The same list draws the Make card on the factory, so the two cannot disagree.

Words shipped
The page, the post, the lesson. Text is the one medium that needs no key and no model — it is written and published on the same wire the site already runs on.

pages:create + pages:publish
Picture substrate
An image for the story. Two providers, both direct rather than through an integration, and both wanting a key.

generate_image
Voice substrate
The story read aloud. This is the one generated medium that costs nothing and asks nobody — the default provider needs no key and no approval, which is what makes it usable without a person in the loop.

generate_voice
Motion gap
The story as video. The most expensive thing here and the least ready: it polls for minutes, and without a key it makes nothing at all.

generate_video
App shipped
The story as something you can use — a page that does a job, a product to buy, a workflow that runs. This is the medium the rest of this drawing already builds.

workflow:create + products:create
Send shipped
Making it exist is not telling it. The last kind puts the artifact in front of someone — and only after that does the world get to weigh in.

Why seven

Six of the beats name one of the six dimensions the whole system is built from, and one names a verb. They are a way to say it, not a second set of things: nothing here is renamed, and nothing new is declared. That is the only reason a story can become work without a translation step.
