I had no idea how you'd write this and I still find myself elated and surprised and nodding along enthusiastically. This seems like a wonderful approach to ttrpgs tbh!! Thank you for sharing it.
Wonderful sort of game system, sort of manifesto, full invitation to game design and expression through art and The Conversation. I think it's sort of a generalization/extrapolation from the aspects from FATE and everything else that has you pull the index cards to create situation-based game components on the fly, giving rules-weight to fiction-elements.
For the cards like Nicole the Big Mole is plotting against you... You could make a clock. (I would) Maybe tick it when it feels right, when things go wrong or when you get a golden opportunity. When it's full, destroy the card and make a new one to show the next step in Nicole's big plan.

I think there is a typo in question 3: It should read “trust your players and listen to the noises your gut makes”.
I’d also add “eat more fiber” there, as it is very important for a balanced rules/diet.
