Wasted opportunities

If I am "talking to myself" for an extended period of time but then assume Rena was there hearing me anyway, does it count towards vocalization training to her? Or does it have to be deliberate the whole way through?

 

tulpa forcing/your-brain-learning-tulpamancy is only in effect when you're intending for there to be someone in your head listening to you (and preferably also being able to respond)

funny question as the inverse of "it's possible to decide retroactively that none of your tulpamancy experiences were real", but actually in those cases, only your present perception of those past experiences changes, the actual experiences you had were still as they were

so in this case, your present perception of those past experiences can change (I think this is at play when tulpas say they felt sentient for a long time before they were vocal, which is fine), but in the past you were only having tulpamancy experiences if you felt like you were

 

so anyways yeah, the tulpa-muscles in your brain getting used is what helps develop tulpamancy, so the total time spent intending to be doing tulpa stuff is the total practice you're getting/contribution to their development
