Object
Poker (rhetorical / anecdotal reference)
A non‑physical, rhetorical invocation of the card game poker used in dialogue as an illustrative anecdote about risk, strategy, and the unpredictability of experience. The reference functions as a conceptual prop—conjuring cardrooms, tells, and stakes—to support arguments about the qualitative nature of lived moments (e.g., Data's argument that some experiences resist reduction to raw data). Appears only as a cited or described event rather than a handled object on screen.
