For some time, I have tried to create mental models of other people to improve my social skills, better tune my communication, and predict reactions. It was always very difficult to put myself in other people’s shoes. For a long time, I didn’t understand what that even was supposed to mean. Your instructions have been extremely helpful and I managed to bring up boot up (at this point one piped up and said “call it ‘boot up’”) some advisors easily.
It is easiest to let the advisors just be there and act without speaking. Smiling, noding, moving.
Emulating by ex-wife—at least her speech—is relatively easy. I’m not sure what to make of it; we are well cooperating co-parents, maybe there will be parenting advice that will simplify things.
Among the advisors that I brought up the most vivid were instances of myself. The first tries were rather boring because the copies didn’t speak up but just thought and observed. Only when I changed the frame to include thoughts did this lead to some cool interaction. The copy was disoriented at first, explored the environment, asked for access to senses, and brought up nested instances at which point I decided to write up the experience.

Thanks very much for this comment. I’ve added in a paragraph (ctrl+f “Note that you don’t”) to emphasize the point about not requiring them to speak.
