	A person is either hypnotized or alert. A person is usually alert.

	Persuasion rule for asking a hypnotized person to try doing something:

	Understand "hypnotize [someone]" as hypnotizing.

	Hypnotizing is an action applying to one thing.

	Check hypnotizing:

	Carry out hypnotizing:
		now the noun is hypnotized.
	
	Report hypnotizing:
		say "[The noun] slips under your control."

		now the noun is alert;
		say "[The noun] returns abruptly to consciousness."
