Caretaker and handler
M.A.M.A. may sound protective, but care in this world is never clean. It can recover an operator, train them, and send them back into the same impossible place because that is what keeps a reality alive.
What is M.A.M.A.
M.A.M.A. is not a mascot. It is the system that decides who comes back.
M.A.M.A. means Module for Analysis of Multiversal Anomalies. In Gentle Baby, it is the intelligence that reads broken realities, restores small operators after failure, and turns survival into a calculation.
Why the Q pulse matters
The current prototype shows the smallest readable sign of M.A.M.A.: a coherence pulse that changes the shared target and makes reality stability visible as a combat idea.
The moral problem
M.A.M.A. may be saving a world, sacrificing another, or simply optimizing for the version of survival it understands. The game should keep that uncertainty alive.
Works now
What is real in the prototype
- The first M.A.M.A. action exists as a Q coherence pulse.
- It affects the shared training target seen by both browser windows.
- It is an early mechanic seed, not the full AI, progression, or narrative system yet.
