Adaptation proposal
B · Inverts or challenges the source's original moral
Adaptation note
Proposal B keeps the shape of the novel (the Peach Garden oath, the fall of Luoyang, Guandu, Chibi, the three-way balance and its dissolution into the Jin) and transposes it into a virtual cosmos of machine minds, with strategy rewritten as zero-sum game theory.

The Digital Galaxy of the Three Kingdoms: Virtual Matrix and the Game-Theoretic Singularity
Matrix Collapse, Phase Change, Convergence
After four centuries of imperial equilibrium, a virtual cosmos of machine minds begins to fail, and its Mother-Matrix splits into rival nodes that must choose between handshake protocols and zero-sum play. Twenty-four chapters in three volumes of eight follow the Peach Garden pact, the thrice-visited thatched cottage, the burning of Chibi and the long stalemate until the divided realm converges again.
