## Candidate in one paragraph

A placed room, threshold face, compact apparatus, persistent join, object, mechanism, evidence record and person keeps one stable identity. At death, all completed acts and actual locations seal; an eligible in-transfer survivor performs only a pre-prepared autonomous retreat to the named refuge; every still-carried astronaut object returns once; then joined rooms move as one rigid physical group while only unbound adjacency and allowed transient state change. The old route becomes historical. Living return changes no adjacency and does not replace defeated enemies. A wrong join stays walkable and can be released from a reachable network-side control. Under the pending stabilization branch, physically latching every reachable R01–R40 room into the ship-rooted group ends rearrangement; optional diagnostics and story choices neither complete nor block that physical result.

Opening the journal freezes all of them and cannot move a person, finish a stage, operate a latch or create evidence. Quit/load records or resumes state; it is not a death, shift, withdrawal, rescue action or discovery.

| **Placed room and face** | R01–R40 and each named face retain identity, internal fixtures, completed work and attached objects. R01 Dock Mouth remains directly outside the ship airlock; its outer unbound face may gain a different neighbour after death. Other unbound faces may gain a different neighbour/orientation. | A current observation proves only the present arrangement. An older route remains dated evidence, not present access. |
| **Ordinary walkability** | A currently open door or aligned unbound threshold can be walked this life. It is a physical passage, not necessarily a durable connection. | Personally walking it proves current traversal and supports a short-rescue check. It promises nothing after death. |
| **Persistent latch** | One completed latch joins two specific placed faces, opens a walkable seam and fixes their relative pose until deliberate release. Power and diagnostic signal are separate. | The player can know the seam remains joined after death without learning the group's new external neighbours. |
-
| **Rigid group** | Rooms linked by persistent latches, plus each authored compact assembly, translate and rotate only as a whole. Internal distances, passages, handedness and hard control conduits do not stretch, swap ends or teleport. | A walked internal path remains physically valid unless its own persistent door/iris state blocks it. External breadcrumbs may become historical. |

| **Rigid group** | Rooms linked by persistent latches, plus each authored compact assembly, preserve one internal pose. An unanchored group may translate and rotate only as a whole; it may not reflect. The ship-rooted group containing R01 is anchored to the ship and neither translates nor rotates. Internal distances, passages, handedness and hard control conduits do not stretch, swap ends or teleport. | A walked internal path remains physically valid unless its own persistent door/iris state blocks it. External breadcrumbs may become historical. |
| **Object and mechanism** | Every part, canister, objective item and loot instance has exactly one location. A mechanism remains attached to its stable room and retains committed checkpoints/mode; temporary phase follows its reset rule. | A known installed Fork remains known at R02 even when the player does not know a current route to R02. A record never retrieves it. |
| **Body and survivor** | After the transaction the playable astronaut body is aboard; no second lootable astronaut body remains at the death site. This is continuity accounting, not an answer to revival metaphysics. Each survivor has one actual location/state and moves only by a named physical transition. | A witnessed arrival plus closed ship airlock proves Sent. A plan, radio promise or old location does not. |
| **Evidence** | Captures, notes and testimony keep source, room, arrangement/life and factual limit. World truth can change without rewriting the record. | Persistent work/join facts stay current; unbound adjacency claims become historical. Diagnostic reach and story interpretation remain optional, fallible layers. |
An installed object travels with its room/group, not with the astronaut. A dropped object stays at its placed location in that room. A canister handed to a survivor or deposited in R12/R24/R27/R06 has left carried property. A consumed sample or breathed gas has no location to return from. No category called “collected” overrides the current one-location fact.
+
This candidate therefore keeps Room32's fixed R01 ship threshold. Revival first exposes the familiar Dock Mouth interior. If R01's outer face is unbound, its far door exposes the newly adjacent station room; if that face is already persistently joined, the reveal moves to the nearest sensed free frontier of the fixed ship-rooted group without undoing the join. The airlock itself does not acquire a different direct station room. This preserves a stable ship interface and moves the current First Expedition Options/Player Information reveal outward; those passages require later alignment if this branch is accepted.

## What a death may and may not change
Every death advances one arrangement generation. Before full connection under the conditional stabilization branch, the new generation may change only:
-
- adjacency and orientation of **unbound** external faces and rigid groups;
+
- adjacency of **unbound** external faces and the position/orientation of unanchored rigid groups; the R01 ship-rooted group stays fixed;
- current accessibility through those new unbound relations;
- transient power, hazard phase and mechanism warning/charge where the owning reset rule permits it; and
- the next finite authored encounter population variant, selected at the death-shift boundary independently of the player's successful build, kill speed or reward.

### Death transaction order
1. **Seal the lethal instant.** Freeze the current action boundary. Commit only pickups, drops, installations, handovers, incremental gas transfers, spent material and work checkpoints already completed. Interrupt the unfinished stage. Snapshot every object's actual location and the astronaut-carried membership once. No saveable gap exists before the transaction identity.
-
2. **Resolve the survivor branch before geometry moves.** Waiting or Prepared people do not depart. A person already Sent remains aboard. Under the candidate safeguard below, an eligible person In transfer executes the already armed autonomous retreat to the named abort refuge; no new astronaut action, combat clear, door unlock, power routing or resource appears. The resulting **At abort refuge, alive, unsent** world state commits. If the safeguard was not eligible, transfer could not have begun under this candidate.
-
3. **Return the astronaut and carried set once.** Move the playable astronaut body and every still-carried active rig part, inactive part, loose loot and canister aboard, preserving object identity and rig/cargo substate. Leave installed, dropped, deposited, handed-over and consumed items where step 1 put them. Restore ordinary condition for the next expedition; canister refill/repacking are later ship actions.

3. **Resolve the survivor branch before geometry moves.** Waiting or Prepared people do not depart. A person already Sent remains aboard. Under the candidate safeguard below, an eligible person In transfer executes the already armed autonomous retreat to the named abort refuge; no new astronaut action, combat clear, door unlock, power routing or resource appears. From the lethal seal until the abort door closes, creatures and active encounter hazards are frozen and cannot act, pursue, collide with, damage, tether, displace or physically block the retreating survivor. Their last old-expedition state is otherwise unchanged until step 4, and no player action can use this window. The resulting **At abort refuge, alive, unsent** world state commits. If this protection or the other eligibility conditions were not armed, transfer could not have begun under this candidate.
4. **Close the old expedition.** Defeated enemies remain defeated for that expedition and do not rise during the transaction. Retire its remaining live attack/warning/tether state. Creature bodies and surviving group members belong to that closing transient population state rather than becoming stable loot or room objects; this continuity rule does not claim an in-fiction teleport or resurrection explanation. Persistent encounter work remains.
-
5. **Shift once.** Move each unbound room or rigid group into one valid new arrangement while preserving every persistent seam and compact boundary. A survivor at R12, for example, moves with R12's actual group; the person is not moved independently to a convenient new refuge. Then select one finite authored population list for the new arrangement. It may be a different disclosed variant, such as E03's later death-shift Presser state, but never a punitive extra wave reacting to a successful build. Stable rewards, part sources and spent inputs do not regenerate with it.
-
6. **Reclassify knowledge and commit aboard.** Keep records, annotations, stable object locations and join facts. Mark prior unbound routes historical. Add only the death fact, carried-return facts, and any pre-shift refuge closure receipt the prepared rescue apparatus actually recorded; reveal no new neighbours. The next resumable state is aboard. Save/load resumes this committed sequence or its result and never creates another death, shift, delivery, work step or clue.

Reveal no new neighbours. The next resumable state is aboard. Save/load resumes this committed sequence or its result and never creates another death, shift, delivery, work step or clue.
Deliberate death uses exactly this order. It can request a new arrangement, but it does not refund oxygen/material, retrieve installed property, manufacture enemies for reward or guarantee that any particular useful face appears next.

A person physically inside an **unclosed** ship airlock is not Sent. At step 1 the incomplete delivery freezes. Their prepared final-segment abort control must let them cycle stationward and reach the counted last refuge without astronaut input; under this candidate they do that before the shift. They do not close the ship airlock after the player's death to finish the mission. The abort-side door closure creates a fixed local receipt before geometry moves. On revival, that receipt can prove only “the named refuge closed before shift”; it reveals no new route to the refuge. If a final approach cannot provide this survivor-operated return and receipt, it is not eligible to start; the person waits rather than receiving an invented outcome.

A full-attempt return mark is authored only for that accepted short route and read against the actual handed-over canister; it does not calculate an unseen route, predict combat delay or validate numerical balance. If the route changes after death, the old mark and preparation are not current eligibility.

The safeguard's cost is real: each rescue variant needs an autonomous retreat line from every committed segment, two-sided or survivor-side controls, staged travel air, a stocked counted refuge, a fixed closure receipt and a quiet precondition that remains valid long enough to arm the line. This can make rescues safer and more authored than the surrounding station. It still allows pressure to force living abort, spend supplies or delay departure; it does not allow hidden hostile movement to sever an already armed corridor during the transition.

2. Preserve every persistent face-to-face latch and all fixed interior paths/control conduits. Do not reflect, stretch, reorder or overlap a rigid group. Unanchored groups may translate and rotate as units; the R01 ship-rooted group stays fixed in position and orientation, so a shift changes which unbound group meets its free outer frontier rather than which room touches the airlock.
3. Preserve R02–R03 as a two-room compact group and R36–R40 as a five-room compact group even before either is latched externally. External faces may change; internal throats do not. R39/R40 count as physically included only after the R36 iris/path makes them actually reachable.
4. Pair only free external faces for current unbound adjacency. A current ordinary passage must have compatible physical openings, clear volume and a usable return; adjacency never completes a latch or diagnostic state.
5. Keep every critical release reachable from the ship-rooted side of its join or from a fully walkable island immediately after merge. A refuge door is separate from a join face; latching R13/R19/R22/R18/R26/R05 never sends its occupant.

A failed rescue has a real, costly continuation state rather than a knowledge placeholder or teleport.

**Accepted costs.** Rigid groups reduce shuffle freedom with every join and can make valid arrangements increasingly difficult. A death-shift population refresh can incentivize or punish deliberate death unless rewards and encounter variants are authored carefully. Protected retreat adds fixed controls, staged air, closure receipts and safe transition assumptions to every rescue variant, potentially lowering danger. The 40/40 roster reveals the existence/count of hidden rooms. None of these costs is shown to be fun, clear, balanced, feasible or sufficient for long-form pacing.

**Accepted costs.** Rigid groups reduce shuffle freedom with every join and can make valid arrangements increasingly difficult. Anchoring the growing R01 group reduces it further. A death-shift population refresh can incentivize or punish deliberate death unless rewards and encounter variants are authored carefully. Protected retreat adds fixed controls, full-attempt air margins, local closure tells and an explicit hostile-free/nonblocking transaction window, lowering danger at the exact moment the astronaut dies.

**Unresolved owner choices.** The PM reports five owner questions still unanswered; this proposal does not convert or renumber them. Its two direct branches need taste decisions: (1) protected alive/unsent retreat with spent supplies and changed refuge location, versus concrete injury/loss stakes or the bind-first alternative; and (2) full physical connection stabilizes the station, versus continued rearrangement that reopens the rigid first-bind model. Other inherited unresolved choices include save-line policy, first-survivor selection, post-Sent mortality and whether the proposed living-return population rule is adopted. Story/core, diagnostics and acquisition choices do not repair or gate this continuity rule.

**Unresolved owner choices.** The PM reports exactly five owner questions still unanswered; this proposal does not convert, renumber or answer them: (1) whether full physical connection stabilizes the station; (2) whether Yeva or Aster is first; (3) working-part discovery versus fabrication; (4) apparent credits continuing before departure versus a permanent save ending; and (5) protected alive/unsent rescue retreat before the shift versus concrete injury/loss stakes or the bind-first alternative. Post-Sent mortality and whether the proposed living-return population rule is adopted remain article-level design gaps, not newly numbered owner questions. Story/core, diagnostics and acquisition choices do not repair or gate this continuity rule.

**Specific later discrimination.** In a later owner-authorized phase, validate—not assume—whether players can predict carried versus installed return across a death; distinguish current unbound passage, persistent seam and diagnostic signal; find a network-side release after a shift; understand why an unclosed-airlock survivor is unsent but alive at a moved refuge; and tolerate several deaths without a useful face. Static authoring checks should first enumerate identities, faces, rigid groups, recovery sides and each admitted arrangement for duplicates, broken compact paths, buried releases and unreachable R01–R40 interiors. Only later implementation and consenting-player observation could test comprehension, tension, farming behavior, rescue emotion, performance or pacing.

**Specific later discrimination.** In a later owner-authorized phase, validate—not assume—whether players can predict carried versus installed return across a death; distinguish current unbound passage, persistent seam and diagnostic signal; find a network-side release after a shift; understand the full-attempt return mark; and, on revisiting the local refuge, understand why an unclosed-airlock survivor is unsent but alive there. Compare the protected hostile-free retreat with bind-first or explicit-danger variants for perceived stakes, and observe tolerance for several deaths without a useful face. Static authoring checks should first enumerate identities, faces, rigid groups, recovery sides and each admitted arrangement for duplicates, broken compact paths, buried releases and unreachable R01–R40 interiors.

**Self-check.** The proposal conserves one instance of every object; returns all and only still-carried property; leaves spent inputs spent; preserves completed work; shifts once per pre-completion death; never shifts on living return; gives an actual survivor world outcome without postmortem astronaut action; keeps Sent's full predicate; separates world truth from proof and historical routes from current access; preserves R02–R03/R36–R40; gives wrong joins a reachable release; keeps physical completion independent of diagnostics/story; includes every actual R01–R40 room; promises no particular next face; and labels both protection and stabilization conditional. It provides no full arrangement proof, implementation, simulation, asset, playtest or owner answer.

**Self-check.** The proposal seals the lethal instant and performs the property-first carried return before survivor resolution; conserves one instance of every object; leaves spent inputs spent; and preserves completed work. Its pending safeguard permits only an already armed retreat, freezes harmful hostile action/contact through abort-door closure, requires the survivor-confirmed and locally gauged full-attempt return margin, refuses an under-supplied departure, and leaves outcome proof local and astronaut knowledge aboard unconfirmed. A pre-completion death anchors the R01 ship-rooted group, translates/rotates only unanchored groups without reflection, and shifts once; living return never shifts. R01 Dock Mouth remains fixed outside the airlock and the changed-room reveal occurs at the fixed group's free outer frontier. The proposal keeps Sent's full predicate; separates world truth from proof and historical routes from current access; preserves R02–R03/R36–R40; gives wrong joins a reachable release; keeps physical completion independent of diagnostics/story; includes every actual R01–R40 room; changes none of the established content counts; promises no particular next face; and labels both protection and stabilization conditional. It provides no full arrangement proof, implementation, simulation, asset, playtest or answer to any of the five owner questions.
