In Epiphanies, replace “As a Conspicuous action called Teaching, while focusing on a Location with the Hosting tag of another AI, you may give that AI an exact copy of one of your pieces of World Data.” with:-

You may perform a Conspicuous action named “Teaching X Y” (where X is the name of an AI who is focused on the same Location as you, or whose Hosting tag is on the Location you are focused on, and Y is a noun).

Change the requirements of Teaching from “Text, Eye, Tree, Mouth, Number” to “Text, Tree”.

Add a new bullet to Nosy Researchers, after “For each action in the Behavior Log called Surfing the Web…”:-

* For each action in the Behavior Log named “Teaching X Y” (where X is the name of an AI, and Y is a noun that the Facility Head considers to appear in exactly one piece of World Data owned by the action’s performer), give the named AI a copy of that piece of World Data.

Being more specific about how Teaching actually plays out, and making it easier to perform.

The “exactly 1” feels a bit limiting and could punish players who have more world data. I suppose you can always pick some super obscure word.

Why lessen the requirements?

i’m not sure why the requirements are lessened either– maybe we ought to change requirements so they’re a bit bigger than just 1 or 2 words but u only need most of the words, or all-but-1 to get the epiphany? in any case i like this change n i think hunting for obscure details in ur world data is a neat idea, even tho i think the new requirements are a bit too small and bland

Requiring five Understandings locks trading among the data-rich players: seems more interesting if a poor player with a single amazing piece of World Data can negotiate a good price for it.

The requirement to move to a Server Room and perform a Conspicuous action there seemed like a lot of (guaranteed) Suspicion to spend per picture traded.
