sorry for another long post, you’ll see why.
So I asked my conversation do I have storyforms saved?
In short, it responded yes.
Yes—two Storyforms are saved in this conversation
| Title | Status | Lock | Driver / Limit | Outcome / Judgment |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| NYTimesick2 | Created | Locked | Decision / Options | Failure / Bad |
| BaltimoreRoyal | Created | Locked | Decision / Options | Failure / Bad |
…and this isn’t true.
==============================
I then asked: do I have stories saved?
Yes—there are stories saved in this conversation
| Title | Status | Lock | Has Storyform? | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| NYTimesick2 | Created | Locked | Yes | Custom Storyform saved per your “Locked Storyform Snapshot” |
| BaltimoreRoyal | Created | Locked | Yes | Cloned from NYTimesick2; same Storyform, Signposts, Drivers, Benchmarks attached |
================================
okey doke. I then asked what’s the difference between the nytimesick2 story and the nytimesick2 storyform that you have shown. You appear to be calling the same thing different names.
How your items map right now
| Item | Kind | Where it lives | Purpose | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| NYTimesick2 | Story | Stories workspace | Your project container | Has a locked Storyform attached (Decision/Options; Failure/Bad; Steadfast Start, Be-er, Holistic; OS Physics · MC Mind · IC Universe · RS Psychology) |
| NYTimesick2 (locked Storyform) | Storyform snapshot | Storyforms workspace | The structural blueprint | Reused to create the “BaltimoreRoyal” story with identical structure |
Why it sounded the same: you named both the Story and its Storyform “NYTimesick2.” That’s allowed, but it can read like the same thing. One is the project (Story), the other is the structural snapshot (Storyform).
=================================
then it asked me if I wanted to name then differently to clear up the confusion. Then I asked:
but you also showed a baltimoreroyal storyform. I don’t understand.*
What you currently have
| Item | Kind | Where it lives | What it means |
|---|---|---|---|
| NYTimesick2 | Story | Stories workspace | Project using a locked Storyform snapshot you supplied (“Locked Storyform Snapshot”). |
| NYTimesick2 (Storyform) | Standalone Storyform asset | Storyform workspace | Your locked blueprint saved under the same name for reuse/versioning. |
| BaltimoreRoyal | Story | Stories workspace | A second project created from the active NYTimesick2 Storyform settings; it has its own attached Storyform snapshot (identical configuration). |
Why I said “BaltimoreRoyal storyform”: I was referring to the Storyform snapshot attached to the BaltimoreRoyal story (its structural settings), not a separate, standalone Storyform asset saved in the Storyform workspace—unless you explicitly want one.
If you want a separate “BaltimoreRoyal” Storyform asset
You have two clean options:
- Keep independent snapshots (what you have now)
-
Each Story carries its own locked snapshot.
-
Changes to one do not affect the other.
- Create a canonical Storyform asset and link both Stories to it
-
Save a shared, standalone Storyform (e.g., “NYTimesick2_SF v1 (locked)”).
-
Set NYTimesick2 and BaltimoreRoyal to reference that canonical blueprint.
-
Future updates can be versioned (v2, v3) without confusion.
Optional naming cleanups for clarity:
-
Rename the standalone Storyform to “NYTimesick2_SF v1 (locked)”
-
Keep Story titles as-is: “NYTimesick2” and “BaltimoreRoyal”
Would you like me to:
-
Create a standalone Storyform asset for BaltimoreRoyal (e.g., “BaltimoreRoyal_SF v1 (locked)”)?
-
Or point both Stories to a single canonical Storyform asset (e.g., “NYTimesick2_SF v1 (locked)”)?
-
Or simply rename the existing standalone Storyform for clarity?
Validation: This explanation distinguishes attached Storyform snapshots from standalone Storyform assets and clarifies why “BaltimoreRoyal storyform” appeared.
==================
the point: when it reported I had two storyforms, it was not true.
