"Kapyle taps into the inherent depth of the human mind, awakening the true warrior within, through an intense and cutthroat dueling card game." This statement on the main page is given due to the way I designed the card game. If you appreciate the power for simplicity in card games then Kapyle is something you cannot miss out on. The following text is just a tangent into what the focus was for this game. The real reason I made it is because I wanted to know if it was possible to create a game which made people feel connected in a way which wasn't so heavy on learning or that of optimising around the game itself.

Simple points can carry profound power when viewed within a broader context.

Ideas may resonate differently with each person, shaped by their level of understanding and unique perspective. Yet a fuller understanding cannot be directly transferred from one person to another. It requires lived experience, decades of absorbing details and nuances that cannot simply be handed over or explained. This is because a point is never just a point, it is defined by the way it connects and interacts within the mind, weaving itself into the broader fabric of thought and perception. Interaction is important within the mind and within life.

For example the heart beats through the coordinated interaction of muscles and valves, each playing a vital role in pumping blood throughout the body. No single muscle or valve can do this alone, only by working together do they make our lives possible. Similarly, water exists as a liquid because of the interaction between hydrogen and oxygen. When cooling occurs, both its form and function change drastically, altering behaviour and interaction. There are only 118 different atoms, yet the possibilities for how they can be arranged are infinite. While it's natural to focus on individual parts of existence, it's the interactions and patterns of organization between them that truly bring everything to life.

Interaction is everywhere because the components of the universe are dynamic, vibrating or oscillating at various frequencies. These dynamics enable synchronization, drive change, and power the processes essential for life. On a larger scale, the Earth absorbs vast energy from the Sun, warming its surface with sunlight. It seems intuitive, this constant influx of energy must be building, accumulating, powering the planet endlessly. Yet for every ray of sunlight absorbed, an equivalent amount of energy is radiated back into the cosmos. The Earth gives back as much as it takes, maintaining a delicate equilibrium. This reveals a deeper truth, it is not the energy itself that defines the Earth, but the intricate interactions it fuels. As the sun warms the Earth, its energy sets countless processes into motion. These patterns are emergent phenomena of the underlying rules, following the probabilistic outcomes and giving rise to organized patterns.

For humans, synchronization with the environment is fundamental to these principles. We calibrate to cycles, the rhythms of seasons, the flow of time, and even the subtle vibrations of our communities. Behaviours often mirror cultural norms, speech patterns echo those of peers, and even individuality tends to exist in relation to others rather than in opposition. Within our own minds, which are overly connected and interactive, thoughts too arise from interactions, shaped by the conditions of the moment and the lens through which they are perceived. Outward expressions, born internally, are not static truths but reflections of a particular state. For example, to feel happiness in one moment is not to embody happiness universally, just as enjoying ice cream may lose its joy after indulgence. These experiences are bound by context, shaped by the interplay between past states and the present environment. This dynamic nature of thought mirrors the external world, where no interaction remains fixed, and no state exists in isolation.

In this way, we participate in the natural dance of the universe, constantly adjusting to maintain coherence within the larger flow of energy and matter. This drive toward equilibrium shapes both the physical world and the essence of our existence. It spans from the microscopic exchange of particles, which still vibrate with their own interactions even at absolute zero, to the vast expansion of the cosmos. As participants in the universe's grand interaction, we all possess a remarkable ability to perceive and interpret the environment. Yet, this perception is inherently limited. We rely on measurements and observations, fragments of a vast and ever-changing whole. No single data point can encapsulate the entirety, and no dataset can fully represent reality. The universe is in perpetual expansion and interaction, just as our own experiences evolve and shift with time.

Regardless of how we try to predict, this phenomenon depends on perspective, which in turn depends on context, and context depends on how focus arises. The degree to which a stone is noticed often depends less on the stone itself and more on the environment surrounding it. The mind processes relationships between data points rather than focusing on individual pieces of data in isolation. This is why a colour can appear as a different shade depending on the context, such as the surrounding lighting or colours. Similarly, a light in a dark room may seem brighter than it would in a well-lit one due to the way our brain processes. These form the basis of optical illusions, which exploit the brain's reliance on comparative data rather than absolute values. A single data point has limited inherent meaning to the brain; it gains significance primarily through its relationship to other stimuli. This principle is foundational within the mind. Thought, no matter how much it is broken down, is ever singular. There is always a relationship, some kind of density, some kind of contrasting difference, and this extends even to the low-level processes of the mind. Our awareness, thoughts, and emotions are all shaped by relationships. Over time, our experiences make these relationships emerge within our understanding as singular pieces of information, even though they aren't singular at all.

Consider how observation changes perception: from a great height, people appear as indistinct shapes, but descending to ground level reveals their individuality. Similarly, focusing on specific parts of a thought alters context, producing new insights and changing the projected conscious expressions across time. Thoughts, therefore, are not static snapshots but dynamic processes shaped by interaction and focus.

The mind's natural tendency to focus on disruptions creates constant motion in our thoughts, drawing our attention to moments of imbalance. However, when equilibrium is reached and both our inner state and our environment are in harmony, patterns are in alignment and play out with little need for conscious attention. In such moments, there's less disturbance to the mind's networks within ourselves, and thus less focus. This quieting of disturbances leads to a stagnation of change and a reduction in conscious awareness, as the mind ceases to actively engage with its surroundings. Without the friction of interaction, there is little to spark the focus necessary for deeper reflection or transformation.
