John is a feral child who needs to figure out what he's doing by himself.

In the real world, there would be at least efforts to have some rules for how HEPs and MOSHes interact, even if those rules can't be enforced reliably.

We don't have exactly any HEPs around now that I know of. The first ones may live in something analogous to a state of nature, however, until new social norms emerge to regulate their behavior.
