Broken Bot is a treadmill and a fitness tracker for chaos. It's a way to:
- experience fast, unpredictable change outside of everyday life filled with obligations, responsibility, and routine
- track your mental, emotional, and behavioral reactions to chaos
Now
Broken Bot is one game — Chat, pure verbal chaos — running in six modes across two axes:
- How you play: Chat gives you a Next button to pull up each prompt at your own pace; Squeeze Chat sets a time limit on every prompt and drops the Next button, so prompts advance on their own; Flow Chat adds a Skip, so you can pass on any prompt nothing comes up for.
- Whether it's measured: just play; or with measurement — a pre-test, the game, a post-test, and a breakdown of how your reactions shifted (or didn't).
Any mode, solo or as a group, taking turns reacting to the prompts.
In the works
- Games beyond words — movement, images, sound
- Game scripts on other principles alongside Chaos — Squeeze, Flow, Expansion, Stability, and more
- Custom games — for productivity, creative range, teams
- Offline formats
Why I make it
- To do what no one else does
- To play
- To test my system of 12 Universal Principles in practice
- To keep pace with the times, maybe a step ahead — training myself to treat uncertainty and fast change as an advantage, not a threat
Who I am
Yulia Winslow — founder of the 12 Universal Principles, built on my Theory of Values. Writer, researcher, New Yorker interested in collective thinking and experience far more than the individual kind.
How I do it
I play — launch myself into chaos and measure the result.
Where to watch
