Any specific order?

[Virtus]

I'm about 15-20 hours into Narration with my Tulpa, she's shown no signs of recognition yet, although I wasn't expecting anything yet so soon anyway. I was just wondering, is there any sort of order of signs I should be looking out for when it comes to her showing signs of sentience? Things like: Moving on her own in our Wonderland, talking, emotion surges, head pressures and obviously talking. Does this usually happen in an order? She's currently done none of those things as far as I'm aware of, although It would to be nice to know what to look out for first.

I don’t think finding that accumulative list of assurances of them being sentient in some way has to be contingent to a specific experiential order. Try to look out for those signs in any way you can, but just know that the list of those assurances are just stepping stones to gain the belief that you can find someone (e.g. your tulpa) other than yourself as self-conscious, and them being able to recognize you’re aware of them, so that in turn, it may further their implied propensity to be aware of their sentience in some way.

 

But them being able to presumably do that could be partially contingent on your faith in them doing so, i.e., determined thought that they can be self-conscious and extend that towards recognizing you while you have subsequent action to sustain this when progressively treating them as sentient. It's almost like engaging in a perpetual state of being where both of you can seek validation of your sentience by mutually acknowledging each other in some way, albeit it happens without it being mentally taxing over time.

 

When that point comes where you don't worry about mental relapses of validating their sentience, you can start learning to appreciate existing with them in any shape or form of reference you can imagine of them, and the presumed list of experiential cues of their sentience you feel might be necessary becomes the least of your worries.

Not everyone even gets all of those signs. I've been working with Fenchurch for a year and a half now, and she has never given me head pressures.
