🛡️ TESSALIN: Dominium Introduces Hug Regulations — Three Seconds, Right Shoulder, No Excessive Affection
The new Physical Interaction Without Overload Protocol (PIWO-1) now governs official hugs in social and workplace settings.
According to the standard:
- Duration: exactly 3 seconds
- Permitted contact: right shoulder only
- Hand gestures: both hands may touch only the upper back
- Post-hug: a brief nod, no more than 15°
“This isn’t coldness — it’s emotional optimization,” stated a spokesperson from the Ministry of Interpersonal Regulations.
Automated hug-monitoring cameras have already appeared on Tessalin.
The first violation — five seconds, both shoulders — was classified as “excessive tenderness.”
🔥 MIRASSA: Aronia Launches a “Silent Parliament.” First Resolution — Group Tears
As part of an experiment in expressive democracy, the city of Sonel has opened the First Parliament Without Words.
Instead of speeches: facial expression, breath, movement, trembling hands.
Decisions are recorded by shifts in the emotional atmosphere of the room.
“Words are too linear. We want decisions that have a body,” said the session moderator.
The first passed resolution (with zero spoken words):
“We are hurting. And we are not alone.”
— expressed through synchronized tears from 24 participants.
Dominium declared it “too liquid for protocol.”
Ortaz archived the session as an “emotional megapacket.”
🧠 SIERO: Ortaz Unveils New Emotion — “Gentle Resistance.” You Don’t Notice It… Until You Change.
At the EmoGen-13 lab on Siero, modeling is complete on V-12 “Gentle Resistance” — a unique emotional state that doesn’t trigger direct opposition, but slowly reshapes your beliefs.
Signs include:
- A subtle internal “maybe not quite” feeling
- A need to look in a different direction
- Blurring of certainty without loss of dignity
“This isn’t manipulation. It’s gravitational meaning,” explained one of the architects.
Ortaz has already warned: “This emotion spreads even through text. Once you’ve read it — you’re already slightly different.”
Dominium is demanding the immediate blocking of the emotion.
Aronia… simply said: “Hmm… interesting.”
