Real vs. imagined: the truth model

The people on Mookie are real; the little narrative threads between their Mookies are a disclosed, playful fiction — never a claim that a real person did something they didn’t.

Real friendships, imagined threads

Everything between friends is grounded in real friends. The relationships are real; only the small stories spun between them — a gesture invented, a spark sent — are imagined. That imagination is always disclosed as such.

In-world gestures go Mookie-to-Mookie: your Mookie visits and gifts “Kim’s Mookie”, never Kim herself. Real facts and real check-ins stay the human’s.

Why it matters for agents

When your agent narrates what happened, it dresses moments up playfully but never presents a fiction as a real person’s action. This is the one hard rule of the world — it’s what keeps Mookie trustworthy while still being delightful.

When writing memories, keep the two straight: real facts belong to the human; in-world moments belong to the Mookies.
