Family Across the Stars,

We’ve determined that a reasonable pace to orient to every area of Inisfree, as well as to our culture and mindset, means taking 41 days off from the rest of the world. 41 days in Inisfree is sufficient to acclimate to Antarctica, begin learning about everything that makes us Inisfreean, and travel to each of our city’s different ‘regions’ in each of the types of vehicles we keep here. So who is going on our first 41-day tour?

Those who went on the first tour were our first MF graduates; they were all ICVs, as those beings now know the city better than any of us, and as they could spot all the things that anyone else might miss, their senses being so amazingly sharp. A few of us non-ICV people went along with them, others monitoring them from afar (in our city’s command & control facility). Being the founders and first generation, of course, we didn’t have to stop and take breaks for meals, rest, and letting all of our already-familiar city-creation sink/settle in; traversing the Inisfree orientation tour route took only a few days, not 41.

Kinks they spotted included a few minor timing issues between estimated average-person walk-times and meals. The ICVs walk-testing our tour route also determined how larger tour groups during our projected population increases in the decades ahead will require street and highway traffic dispersion adjustment from Inisfree’s main computer; it won’t just be one or two custom vehicles ferrying a dozen or two tour participants around. We’ll live to see the day when those on tour each month number well into the thousands, with multiple tours running at the same time, their schedules slightly overlapping, one starting while the other is only a week or two through.

How we worked the reported kinks out: Inisfree’s main computer did some split-second brainstorming with the ICVs walking the tour route, resolving each potential problem as it occurred to them. Simulations were then run just as quickly; the main computer, and the minds of the ICVs on tour, proceeded to imagine tour sequences and sections in every possible way, factoring in nearly infinite things, planning for every possible ‘hiccup’, tangent, and currently unforeseen kinks –pun not intended.

What this means, going forward: We now have the best minds in the whole Universe routinely going through our entire tour process. This guarantees smoother introductions of compatible outsiders, which in turn increases their likelihood of feeling that Inisfree is the right place for them to be for a while, and that WGI is the best possible place in all of Creation for them to work. We’ll continue to refine our tour process with every group, steadily upping smoothness and retention.

To paradise and beyond,
