Direct answer: Name what brings you into the game without trying to solve it immediately. What question truly matters to you now? Write one question about your own sphere of influence and remove the demand for an immediate answer.
Reflecta version: Leela cell 1 “Entry” belongs to Reflecta’s digital version; names, numbering, and transitions may differ on other Leela boards.
A visual path can organize the sequence of moves without turning it into a forecast.
A question that is ready for the first move
This page describes the current Reflecta board. Other Leela and Gyan Chaupar versions may use different names or numbering, so “Entry” should be read together with this field and the player’s recorded intention.
Entry is a framing cell. It asks whether the player has brought a real decision to examine or only a wish for certainty. A workable intention names the situation, the player’s sphere of influence and the behaviour or decision to review; it does not ask the board to decide on someone’s behalf.
| Open questions | Action | Check criterion |
|---|---|---|
| What question truly matters to you now? | Write one question about your own sphere of influence and remove the demand for an immediate answer. | The intention is ready when it fits in one sentence, concerns the player’s own choices and can be reviewed after a real event. |

A concrete example
Situation: A player is considering a job change. Instead of asking “Will the new company hire me?”, they write: “What facts should I verify, and what can I do this week to decide whether to continue the hiring process?” The revised wording can be compared with real actions and responses.
Action: Write one question about your own sphere of influence and remove the demand for an immediate answer.
Check criterion: The intention is ready when it fits in one sentence, concerns the player’s own choices and can be reviewed after a real event.
What usually weakens the result
- The usual trap is to begin interpreting before the question is clear, or to hide a request for prediction inside a long formulation.
- The title “Entry” is a prompt for reflection, not a diagnosis, a fixed personality label or a forecast.
- On the current Reflecta board, this cell does not trigger a mandatory transition.

What question truly matters to you now?
Entry is a framing cell. It asks whether the player has brought a real decision to examine or only a wish for certainty. A workable intention names the situation, the player’s sphere of influence and the behaviour or decision to review; it does not ask the board to decide on someone’s behalf.
How do I know that the intention is ready?
It names one situation, stays within your sphere of influence and points to something you can observe or do. If it asks what another person will definitely do, rewrite it.
What does the AI facilitator do?
It connects the current cell with saved history, asks one focused question, and offers a short hypothesis without deciding for the player. The title “Entry” is a prompt for reflection, not a diagnosis, a fixed personality label or a forecast.
