Wisdom
A trait for Covenant objects
Wisdom is a trait for the covenant class. Like all traits, it is a Developmental Object and derives its periodicity from that class. It corresponds to the intelligence trait for character objects and represents the pseudo-intelligence of the emergent entity.
It is based on the covenant's OrderHold? statistics and enables the use of stories which are known by the covenant (as opposed to those lived by the covenant). Higher levels of wisdom reflect a greater diversity of stories available to the covenant.
Periods
The periods? of Wisdom represent qualitative advancements which redefine the way the covenant? looks at its own intelligence.
