Shannon,
Today a thought occurred to me.
The reset effect in DMSI v3.0.1 seems imperative. So in a sense the affected resets and then puts the user in a category/role of ... let's say "must **** now and forever".
1) The reset might best be complementary based on the role/category, which could include a reset of the user in the mind of the affected, as well as the affected self-reseting to a compatible category that would be congruent with fulfilling the goals of the program repeatedly. In the words, the affected would re-categorize (redefine their role) themselves relative to the user.
2) Now what seems to me is that it would be important for the new category/role to be reinforced or reiterated. But I don't know how, other than by an every day object like the phone. Such as every time the affected sees their phone (or any phone for that matter), they feel impatient to engage in reciprocal/complementary roles with the user that are congruent with fulfilling the goals of the program repeatedly.
3) "The affected self-reseting themselves relative to the user." What also occurred to me is that the affected reset their role relative to the user. In other words, (I know it's supposed to be gender neutral) it's occurred to me that many people have some sort of top down processing that occurs when they put themselves into a role. It's like a meme. Defenses are by passed. Rather than individual behaviors explicated, the desired behaviors are implied by the role. Let's say the affected resets themselves (e.g., self-resets) to "significant other of the user". Now that would imply a series of behaviors. Perhaps it would vary from person to person, but there would be a common overlap based on cultural consensus of what the role/category is of a "significant other".
4) I'm not suggesting the affected self-reset to "significant other" rather that was just a concrete example to demonstrate. But there must be some sort of role/category that could be inserted that is complementary/reciprocal based on how the user is reset and cast into a category/role in the mind of the affected.
5) Such a reset effect may also be helpful for the user, in that the user self-resets their ideas of the affected, as well as themselves relative to the affected. In other words, suppose the healing isn't done and the user thinks a perfect 10 is out of their league. The reset could be done inside the user in such a way to effectively achieve the goals of the program repeatedly, where the user resets their role relative to the effected and the affected's role relative to the user. However I would think it would have to be done such that the user behaves in a socially appropriate and restrained manner to be effective and "stay out of trouble" while the effect is manifesting in external reality.
6) This reset/re-categorization/"casting into a new role" effect would also have to be compatible to other parts of the script. For example, the "sharing the user" module. The reset/re-categorization/"casting into a new role" would have to be accomplished so that the affected are accepting of (or perhaps even happy about) sharing the user, be it in that moment, with other people they know, with other people they don't know, etc.
