**Withhold structured result records.** The player relies on the world and their notes, with no arrival/test status. This keeps interface authority low and allows ambiguity, but does not uniquely create ownership: explicit help or an observed result can still leave comparison, generalisation and action to the player. Its cost is a possible diagnostic burden; oxygen, damage, missing power and contextual exceptions can make an unfinished test harder to distinguish from a failed reading. Visible environmental evidence remains available and may explain the outcome even without a journal status.

**Bounded observation and help — preferred.** Record the reached place, visible control state or incomplete condition, and keep testimony attributed. On-request visual suggestions among already captured records are provisionally kept. Their accepted cost is some reduction in unaided noticing, which the earlier wording underplayed. The reason to keep them is visible in the complete episode: surfacing a lookalike only brings two records together; the player still appraises whether the halves pair, infers the source/receiver distinction from independent transfers, applies it to a new pair and chooses whether to act. Manual comparison remains fully usable. Predictions that every player will ask or that matching alone is the whole discovery are not established facts. The player still words the hypothesis, judges whether an observation bears on it, reconciles human knowledge and pays the world cost of acting. The other costs are authored outcome states, comparison consistency and a risk that even factual status labels feel more authoritative than intended.

[Language Design Evidence](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Language%20Design%20Evidence) describes shipped uses of uncertainty, candidate meanings, repeated contexts and validation, but provides no public dataset proving transfer to this oxygen-limited station. Its multiple-context precedent supports planned redundancy, not a mandatory instance count or guarantee.
