Chapter 1 Manual

> Inputs in the command line must be 2- or 3-word combinations that you've pulled from the prompt for the chapter, shown above (with verbs highlighted in bold; every valid input combination will start with one of those verbs).

> Every input should look like this: verb second_word [optional_third_word]

> For example, if your initial prompt is "add another small step in the control of nature," valid inputs could be "add another," "add in the," "add small step," "control another in," "control of another," or "control step," among many others (different 2-to-3-word combinations of words from that initial prompt).

> Inputs with too many or too few words or words that are not from the prompt are invalid, and the terminal will tell you that there is nothing that it can do with the input.

> When you enter a valid input, it will generate an output that will subtly help guide you toward the correct input. That correct input will move you to the next chapter.

> Your inputs will always have a ->~ icon in front of them by default (but don't type that icon yourself), and the terminal's outputs will always have a > icon in front of them, like this:

->~ input

> output

> Type "clear" to clear the output history from the screen.

> Type "full text" if you get lost or prefer to read the chapter as a story. It will show you all of the chapter's inputs and outputs. It might take some time for the full text to load due to the complexity or length.
