She nodded, agreeing with whoever designed this as she saw the descriptions of the parental relationship on the coin, and the absolute attachments section of the cap. She put everything back as it should be typing.
“Detach Coin Cap”
RC confirmed.
@rayKonfigure
Detached Coin Cap
Time for some relativity, or whatever this option gave. She tried.
“Attach Cap Coin -relative”
She read the response.
@rayKonfigure
Attached Cap Coin <0,0,0> <0,0,0> relative
She checked the Cap, typing.

It was a similar response to the previous Join.

What was she doing! She felt herself being sucked into the CLI paradigm. There she was messing with the fabric of space and time, or something very close to that, and instead of observing the ‘real’ world objects she was querying the command line. It was an easy thing to get suckered into as a programmer. Unless you worked on robots or 3d printing or automotive and alike, most of your code was hidden. Everything you did was not ‘real’ in the sense of atoms and their connections. Roisin mentally gave herself a kick and looked at the cap and the coin. A push of the cap, then of the coin, showed things behaving as per normal. This was just a symbolic link of some kind.
Roisin had another test to check this relationship. She first of all decided to be a little safer. She typed.
“Save slot2”
She was happy to see a response.

Then she tried to make the Cap go away, just like the shards before, typing.
“rm Cap”
RC replied dutifully.

Cap
She didn’t really notice the subtle twinkle of light but she did notice the complete absence of the Cap on her desk and the fact she had seemingly removed ten whole pennies of the realm from existence too. She had un-minted a coin, practiced whatever the opposite of quantitative easing was?
She hoped that she would get the items back, typing.
“Load slot2”
RC confirmed the request.

Loading slot2
Hey Presto, and back in the room. One useless bit of plastic and one round metal token of value. If nothing else she would have a career in magic now. Not ideal, not a great profession to pick. Whilst fascinating how the human mind can be distracted by misdirection, magic is just weird she thought. She always felt a slight embarrassment for the performers too, with their perfectly practiced and timed routines. What happened if it went wrong and they dropped a card, sat on a dove or walked straight into a non-fake wall? No matter, she wasn’t really going into magic, and if she did it would be real science anyway, so there!
Just Join and Split to try? She mentally noted. Given the freaky nature of the absolute Attach this might get a bit messy. She best just get on with it, she thought, so she typed.
