## C10 · The invitation is written, the reply is not

**Complete source:** Original fiction. A maker writes a paper-game invitation: “Start at the house; use one gentle push toward the star; pause whenever you want.” The card has been written. No player has tried it, replied or shown understanding. A second picture beside the words is planned but not made. No real message is sent.

**Own invitation:** Which things have happened, which are plans, and what could you ask next?

<summary>Worked possibility and a different next teaching invitation</summary>

**Source-supported possibility:** The invitation was written; the second picture remains planned/unmade; player trial/reply/understanding are not supplied. A useful next question could ask a willing reader which instruction is clear, with an actual reply still unknown. No guaranteed usefulness follows from completion.

**Unknown/limits:** Keep every missing force, path, future attempt, actual child operation and player response within this source’s stated limits. A complete fictional record is source evidence, not performed-investigation evidence.

**Full next teaching:** Use C18’s different fold-game plan. Read its made/planned/tried limits and invite one honest status label and next question. Listen for an unknown trial kept open rather than treating a proposal as a failure or a success.
