Command is the centre of everyday play. It connects what is happening today with the time, places and Life systems behind it.

Use this chapter when: you are organising today, checking the Calendar, choosing a Life Pace, or moving through a quieter stretch without surrendering an important decision.

Today gathers the current moment, pressing commitments, messages and useful next actions. The Day Planner is where you shape a particular day around work, errands, recovery, relationships and travel. The Map makes locations, journey time and cost visible. Calendar holds shifts, appointments, bills, care, travel, dates and routines; a commitment remains real until it is resolved, changed or cancelled.
The Day Planner turns a day’s real places, travel and commitments into a plan you can understand.
Planning records an intention. It does not make a route succeed automatically, remove a cost, or protect the day from a genuine complication.
Open Planning → Life Pace from Command. Day, Week and Month Pace all use the same underlying Life: money, work, Health, relationships, family, Calendar commitments and the wider world continue to matter. The difference is how closely you choose to live through the time.
| Pace | Best suited to | What happens |
|---|---|---|
| Day Pace | A busy, fragile or decision-heavy period. | You play one day at a time and make the individual plans and choices. |
| Week Pace | A settled routine with occasional important choices. | Several underlying days can pass while ordinary routines are handled. LIVORA returns control at the point a real decision needs you. |
| Month Pace | A mature Life with a dependable routine and fewer immediate decisions. | It gives more room for routine work, money, family and Health to continue, but still stops for consequential choices. |
Life Pace makes the three rhythms and their safeguards clear before you begin.
Choose Day Pace when you want the highest level of direct control: competing commitments, a developing relationship, a Health concern, a new job, a moving home or a period with a lot to decide. It is also a good default when you are learning a new part of the Life.
Week Pace is for a Life that has found a rhythm. It can carry ordinary days, routine time and small low-stakes moments forward without asking you to repeat the same interaction. A message, bill, work item or social moment is not automatically a stop just because it exists. The game pauses only when it has an unresolved choice that could genuinely change the direction of the Life.
Month Pace goes further, but it is not a simulation skip. Routine employment, household money, family life and ordinary Health still progress through the normal authority beneath it. The player gets more autonomy over quiet time; they do not lose responsibility for meaningful decisions.
Use it when the household and routine are reasonably stable. If a month contains a major commitment, the faster rhythm may pause earlier than you expected — that is the safeguard working, not a failed advance.
Week and Month Pace stop for material choices such as an interview or offer, an education assessment or placement decision, a relationship commitment, pregnancy or adoption development, child arrival, medical treatment, serious Health news, a housing or international move, a visa or residency deadline, a legal or financial decision, Business sale or strategy, retirement, generation change, a parliamentary vote or a leadership decision. They also stop for unresolved Unfinished Business and current interactions that need a reply or choice.
