[X] Political reasoning:
[X] We need plans to discover the truth of Tokyo on our subsequent visits, including the complications of lying or concealment.
[X] Is our position concerned with ruling or leading others? Are all of our interests in Tokyo simply summed as save lives, and be good?
-[X] The most important action for us, after protecting our lives and freedoms, is to clearly understand what we could about who we are interacting with - in this case Chiyoda Group and the many other girls in Tokyo.
--[X] What is their overall intent, and how do they want to get it?
-[X] WE can be specific - will they allow the citizens of their city to gain free cleansing in ANY way, or not?
--[X] When offered a chance to act better, will they?
--[X] You're doing this to facilitate a kinder world, not dictate precisely how it comes about.
--[X] Ultimately, clear seeds are a macguffin, and if the needs of preventing fighting over those macguffins are untenable for Tokyo then you can offer something else instead.
-- [X] You have ideas for how to pass out cleansing without clear seeds, e.g. grief seed exchanges, and if it comes down to it, you could cleanse as a stopgap solution while they argue on what's best and how they'd need to adapt.
-[X] On the topic of recruitment:
--[x] Should we recruit from Tokyo, should we try to draw immigrants from their population? Ask Homura to estimate the time we would need for everyone to get used to working together? What's should our deadlines for recruitment be, in other words?
-[x] Admit your brochure envy: You kind of want to crib from Tokyo and make a primer for introducing girls to Mitakihara.
[x] Vote in abeyance
Basing this off of
@The Phoenixian Mixing in an insight I consider to be more fundamental. Working forward from principles, and not skipping a step, which is my problem with the "police debate."
My intent is that we should try not to commit to a solution, if we have a chance to understand the facts. We are missing key facts.
That chance strongly exists - if we use it properly.
We might try meeting with other Tokyo girls, because past events inform our judgment regarding trust. Chiyoda / Akane have likely done some things I would rather they didn't. What we don't know yet is their emotions regarding change. Do they want the world to remain dangerous for everyone? Can they be satisfied in a future without Hard Choices? That is what our philosophy, and our 'economic' support changes most - we will eliminate the need to choose who lives and dies entirely, while regulating the neighbor's magic, even holding borders, become "wasted effort." If one has built a "personality" around the old lifestyle, can they freely give that up? I recall Akiko...
