Dialogue
- Simulated Universe: "Welcome to the Cogito Hair Salon of the Mechanical City!" Charon ties up their hair and taps twice on the bar table with their knuckles. "We can adjust 'Intra-Cognition' here. You can become whatever you want to be, no? Oh, just look at that doctor next to you."
- Simulated Universe: You size up the new *guest* beside you.
- Simulated Universe: Dr. No.5 is enjoying Charon's hair-cutting service so much that he does not even realize Charon is cutting his beard. He speaks confidently, "Do you know how to improve the extent of your knowledge?"
- Simulated Universe: "The Intelligentsia Guild engages in discussions regarding the Genius Society from time to time, during which I often present arguments to prove myself to be a genius. Through experiments, I've blended good and evil into one to show that I'm compatible with both." Says the doctor. "Even better, I've also tried separating them using a potion! Which of the two would you choose?"
Adjust Intra-Cognition — I choose "Good." — Increase Intra-Cognition by 20.
- (Increase Cognition Value by 20)
- Simulated Universe: "That's right. After the experiment succeeded, my good self took over my body." He guffaws, "Through such a deranged pursuit of knowledge, we can reach a more liberated and higher-dimensional consciousness!"
- Adjust Intra-Cognition — I choose "Evil." — Decrease Intra-Cognition by 20.
- (Decrease Cognition Value by 20)
- Simulated Universe: "Well, it doesn't matter. After the experiment succeeded, my evil self took over my body." He guffaws, "Through such a deranged pursuit of knowledge, we can reach a more liberated and higher-dimensional consciousness!"
- Simulated Universe: "One day, Nous will notice me!" He continues as if hysterical, "But Dr. Ratio thinks I'm an idiot — he sees everybody that way! If you ever meet him, remember to make your choice. No, no, no... You'd better make the choice right now!"

- Simulated Universe: You watch the doctor constantly shift between two states and ultimately kill himself in despair and frustration. He has transformed into a *mechanical spinning top* in the spiral between polar opposites, and his conflicted life ends in an eternal spin between his two facets.
- Simulated Universe: "Remember, if you ever meet Dr. Ratio... you must first tell him who is the true *idiot*!" He speaks his last word.
