## Missed clues and reversed order
-
The chain does not depend on order. A player who begins at the open panel, where the duct is plain, may first consider the "duct" reading — but it still takes the stringed walkway to move past it, so the chain completes the same way with its steps in a different sequence. A player who meets the walkway first may consider the broader reading early and compare later crawlways against it. Strings recur at several sites under fixed geometry, so nothing is permanently lost by walking past one. Order changes which hypothesis is held first, not whether the chain can be finished.

The chain's inference does not depend on the order in which its evidence is reached. A player who begins at the open panel, where the duct is plain, may first consider the "duct" reading — but it still takes the stringed walkway to move past it, so the same practical inference follows once both are observed. A player who meets the walkway first may consider the broader reading early and compare later crawlways against it. Strings recur at several sites; walking past one does not itself consume the clue. Revisiting a recorded instance requires finding its marked room or surface in the current arrangement. Earlier recorded routes become historical after death. Given the same reached evidence, order changes which hypothesis is held first; routes and access after each shift remain subject to the current arrangement.
