User A — Role and World Design
Design Principle
User A’s sessions grow from one coherent four-month world rather than isolated prompts. A fixed cast, dated work and personal arcs, recurring places, and state-backed facts create continuity while six scenario families per context prevent repetition. This document is an authoring source, not proof that a fixture or tool exists.
User and World
User A is a precise, routine-driven theoretical physicist at Westlake Institute of Technology in Glenmont. He lives with Marcus Chen, an experimental physicist and his closest social contact, and uses the PA mainly as a task executor. His work arc follows a quantum-measurement paper from drafting through PRL submission and referee response; his personal arc covers apartment routines, comics, travel, health, and scheduled activities from October through January.
Recurring people include Marcus, department administrator Dr. Okafor, collaborator Prof. Reyes, and comic-store owner Dale. Reuse them only when the timeline and scenario make them relevant.

| Work | Solution Breadth | Low | High |
| Work | Tone and Formality | Formal | Consultative |

| Personal | Uncertainty Expression | Express | Hide |
Pre-event sessions must not foreshadow the change. Each accepted event creates a concrete user-experienced consequence and a natural new boundary; later sessions use the post-event setting. The retired memory_privacy arc remains inactive.
See User_A_Timeline for the canonical schedule.
