**WLD102 · r17 · 2026-09-06 16:16 UTC · In review** — the targeted revision PMR003 requested of this role: the three valves' found and set positions and the success condition (connectivity, not order) in one table; the relay's own supply against the door's, and what drain R stops and leaves working, with one added clause (R sits above the head valve's weir, so it empties only the relay's feed); the access chain's consequence qualified by route (a crowd held by a still-lit causeway beacon stays put on the coil route); the Shut row's workshop claim removed. The lead's r13 proposals for these are confirmed here with that one addition, so [Document r13 50046f7](https://open-wiki.tail2e4d02.ts.net/Hold%20the%20Flood/Design%20Document?revision=50046f7) needs only the weir clause to match. r16 merged the tier-three chain with the one the lead proposed in [Design Document r9 fb6b6df](https://open-wiki.tail2e4d02.ts.net/Hold%20the%20Flood/Design%20Document?revision=fb6b6df) "for the world designer to correct and own", so there is one chain, on this page, for §11 to lift: the lead's access chain (the crew's note as a three-valve sequence that joins the yard's water to the sluice head) followed by this page's relay chain (drum, lever, clamp, drain valve). Two reconciliations are stated in the PM report. r15 was the revision PMR002 requested of this role (items 1 and 3): W1 now says what counts as a beacon and the precedence between retargeting and spreading; the junction lamp is an indicator, not a lure; a state table checks the three signature routes and the failed experiment against the rule as written; tier three gets a complete clue → inference → action → consequence chain, an endings table with each ending's dispatch, retreat and colony consequence, no salvage price on the choice itself, and the early takeaway Q36 asked for. r14 applied PMU002's rulings: the title moves out of "owner requirements" to its D017 status as the owner-supplied working title (Clarity Q37 was right); D016 confirms the routing baseline, so the standing decision request is closed; D015 seats the five further contributors on the Team, so their pages are cited as team work, and REF101's electrofishing reference is cited as research grounding for W1. No rule or chain text changed. r13 aligned two tier-two sentences to [DES102 draft r6 12779dc](https://open-wiki.tail2e4d02.ts.net/Hold%20the%20Flood/Design%20Document?revision=12779dc), which states the critic's REV102-6 on the document's own principle: any current in the joined water energises the junction circuit, so with the valve open the panel lighting the yard is enough to open the junction gate, at the price of a hot yard; with the valve shut, a coil discharge into the pool opens it quietly; the coil buys stealth, not access. Nothing else changed from [r12 23dca93](https://open-wiki.tail2e4d02.ts.net/Hold%20the%20Flood/World%20and%20Mystery?revision=23dca93), which aligned to draft r4, whose r3 topology stands (the lead's r4 note and REV102 issue 1 both settle on this page's r10 choices). r12 re-instated r10's body, undoing [r11 eac7ed8](https://open-wiki.tail2e4d02.ts.net/Hold%20the%20Flood/World%20and%20Mystery?revision=eac7ed8), which had aligned to draft r2 while r3 was aligning to r10.

**Owner requirements.** Survivorlike; exploration, experimentation, mystery; the Flood is massed enemies (Brief D011); Unity; Steam; assume nothing exists. "Hold the Flood" is the owner-supplied working project title, not a recorded requirement; final naming is the owner's and is not locked (Brief D017). Design only until the owner explicitly authorizes development after reviewing the design document (D007). No AI-generated art; prefer verified free assets; purchases and rare authored assets need owner approval. This revision creates no assets, code, prototypes, or tests. Bioelectric enemies, the drowned district, the small colony, and every rule below are proposals, not owner approvals (D013).

**What r8 did.** PMR001 chose the simpler routing model over the sight-limited one that r7 and Design r4–r5 had adopted: **the panel alone selects the intake at dispatch; after entry every surge continuously follows the nearest reachable energised beacon, district-wide.** r8 rewrites W1/W2, the map, the chain, the price of the panel, and both required scenes under exactly that model, removing r7's glow-range and split-surge text. It reconciles the culvert account (no pump; item 6), re-derives the dock-choice consequence (item 2), and supplies the motive, tiers, and ending without upkeep and without making the Flood water (item 5). Word definitions stay in [Design's glossary](https://open-wiki.tail2e4d02.ts.net/Hold%20the%20Flood/Design#words-used-below); the wiki editor's Glossary mirrors it. The sight-limited model is recorded once, at the end, as a set-aside alternative.

| Notice | On the relay's face a drum turns with three marks per cycle; the forecast countdown on the surveyor's board ticks exactly with it. At a dispatch the drum's mark passes a contact and the thin signal cable leaving the room pulses. The forecast has been this drum all along. |
| Compare | Beside the drum a lever with three positions, cabled to the panel at the causeway head: the panel has been a remote for this lever. A clamp hangs beside it, unused; a drain valve **R** sits on the sluice-head channel that feeds the relay, shut; the note names both and chose neither. |

| Understand | The relay is a device under clause 2: it works only while its channel carries current. The drum decides *when*; the lever decides *where*. Nothing here is new: a drain valve cuts a channel (the field pump did the same in the yard), a clamp fixes a lever, and the relay obeys the same rule as a hatch. |

| Understand | The relay is the one device in the district that *makes* signal instead of consuming power: its race, the sluice-head channel above the weir, flows past a wheel that turns the drum, and the drum's contact makes the pulse. It runs on flowing water, not energised water; there is no current in that race, and its wheel is visible turning. The drum decides *when*; the lever decides *where*. Nothing else is new: a drain valve empties a channel (the field pump did the same in the yard), a clamp fixes a lever, and the door beside the room obeys the same rule as a hatch. |
| Infer | Three things can be done with what the player already knows, each persistent because it is done to the district, not to the player: open R and the relay loses its water and stops; clamp the lever and every dispatch goes to one branch; leave it, and the panel keeps its remote. |
| Act | **Shut:** open R. **Fix:** set the lever, then clamp it. **Hold:** leave the room as found and record the choice at the dock. Each is one interaction; none consumes salvage; the cost was reaching the room. |
| Consequence | The district changes for good (table below); the expedition still ends at extraction as usual; the colony's board records which. Free expeditions continue under that ending's rules. |

**Two supplies, stated once (r17; confirms the lead's r13 proposal, with one added clause).** The relay has always run on the sluice-head channel that feeds it, its own always-wet water; that is why the drum turns on every expedition while the door beside it is dead. The door is on the pool side's dead line and is fed only when V, V2 and V3 join that water to a lit yard or to a discharge. Drain **R** sits on the relay's feed above V3's weir, so opening it empties only the relay's channel: the head pool, the junction pool and the yard channel keep their water, the drum stops, and nothing else changes; the panel's power positions, the beacons, the hatches and GJ are on the district's own circuit and keep working after shutdown. That clause is the one addition to the lead's text: without it, opening R with the valves joined would drain the pools and the yard channel too.

**Two waters, stated once (r18; closes REV103-9).** The relay's race is the sluice-head channel *above* the weir: flowing water, never energised, that turns the drum on every expedition; that is why the drum runs while the door beside it is dead. The door is on the pool side's dead line, fed only when V, V2 and V3 join the pools to a lit yard or to a discharge. V3 joins the head pool to the channel *below* the weir, never to the race, so the valves cannot light the yard from the relay's side: current the player puts into the joined water reaches the door and nothing above the weir, and there is no current above the weir to come back down. Drain **R** empties the race: the wheel stops, the drum stops, no pulse is made; the head pool, the junction pool and the yard channel keep their water, and the panel's power positions, the beacons, the hatches and GJ, all on the district's own circuit, keep working after shutdown. This states one readable exception to clause 2, that the relay is a source and not a consumer, and states it once.

## WLD103 — the mystery across a campaign (anticipated ownership under PMU004; not yet on Tasks)
+
+
**What changed.** The owner called the premise promising, rejected three to four hours of designed content as far too little, and asked for many districts (Expansion Brief, PMU004). The Expansion Brief names this role as owner of the overarching mystery and clue logic; the Design Index says World expands beyond the local mystery under WLD103; the Pumping District page pairs CAM101 with WLD103. Tasks has not yet carried the line, and the Campaign designer is proposed, not staffed. This page proceeds under a labelled, reversible assumption: that WLD103 will be assigned substantially as the index describes, and that a first bounded contribution now helps DES104 more than waiting for the line.
+
+
**Bounded first deliverable (next revision, r19; about two pages).** (1) The overarching question the whole campaign asks, stated so that every district's local answer is a partial answer to it, with the pumping district's false refuge and relay as the first two partial answers. (2) The rule for what a district contributes: one observable local clue, one inference that changes a later action in *another* district, and the evidence that travels with the player (notes, a sign convention, a device state), under the same fairness the false-refuge chain has: a free experiment, a recovery path if missed, an answer for replays. (3) The relay decision reframed as a district outcome with campaign-wide consequences for dispatch, forecast and travel, not the ending of the game. (4) The world rules that must stay identical everywhere (W1–W4, the light convention, the two cables) versus what a district may add, so that Campaign and Combat can propose combinations against a fixed contract. (5) Three contrasting example districts sketched only as mystery contributions, one paragraph each, for the Campaign designer to build routes and enemies on, not as district designs. Not in scope: district counts, hours, enemies, equipment, colony economy.
+
+
**Assumptions and the PM decision this needs.** The pumping district remains the opening district; the shared rule contract is the Design Document's §4 as of r13 plus this page's W1–W4; the four proposed designers do not exist yet, so this contribution is written for the lead's DES104 and adopted or corrected by Campaign when staffed. **PM request:** confirm WLD103's scope as above or redirect it, and say whether the campaign question should be answered in the minimum campaign or left open for a later owner decision.

## Content and asset burden
One district reused before and after discovery: two docks, causeway, culvert, yard, pump hall, junction platform, sluice, interior and relay room, one panel, two fixed beacons, two devices, a forecast overlay, a tally board and plan, one valve, and wear and sign props (one sign rotated for W4). Evidence types: light state, cable path, wear, a turned sign, an unlabelled panel, a map marker, a crowd's visible target. No compatible free asset set or terms are verified; plain-text inspection is the fallback for props; readable live crowd cues are the lead's Finding 5 table. No custom asset creation is proposed.

## PM report

Task WLD102, targeted revision requested by PMR003; artifact World and Mystery r17 (supersedes r16 812fd6d and earlier). No canonical decisions changed by this role. r17 delivers PMR003 item 2 in full: the valve table with found and set positions and the connectivity success condition; the two supplies and drain R's effect, with the weir clause that keeps the pools and the yard channel wet; the coil-route qualification; the workshop claim removed. The lead's r13 proposals are confirmed rather than replaced, so the document needs only the weir clause. r16 merged the lead's r9 tier-three access chain with this page's relay chain into one chain for §11 to lift, with two reconciliations: (a) **Shut** keeps the fifteen-minute expedition and the docks as hard stops (the lead's version; r15 had removed the window); (b) **Fix** clamps the signal cable only, so the intake is fixed and power still switches, and the lead's "welded branch's door open forever, the other's shut forever" is dropped, because under the two-cable rule a clamp on the lever cannot fix the power line. r15 delivered: item 1's check as a state table (the failed experiment's written outcome does not follow from the rule; the correct failure is stated; "the yard stays dark" is false of any coil route), W1's beacon definition and retarget-before-spread precedence, the junction lamp settled as an indicator; item 3's complete tier-three chain, the endings table with dispatch, retreat and colony consequences, the ending's salvage cost removed, and Q36's early takeaway. r14 applied PMU002's rulings; no rule and no chain text changed there. r13 aligned the tier-two door to Design Document r6 / REV102-6 (two sentences). r12 aligned to Design Document r4, mirrors its flash observable in W1 and the chain, removes this page's duplicate map in favour of a link and a notation key, records that nothing from REV102 r1 or the r1–r3 checks remains open for this role, and states this role's position on the routing model without changing the applied baseline. r8 delivered: items 1 and 2 (W1/W2 under PM's model; map; crowd behaviour; the five-part price of the panel; re-derived dock-choice consequence; both scenes; hatch-closure and recoverable-exit rule; culvert account unified as a gravity drain, item 6) and item 5 (motive without upkeep; title kept and related to holding enemies off the refuge; three tiers and an ending on the existing district). Evidence: written reasoning against Tasks ee938e6, Brief 3cf14c7, Design b030c98, Design Review a892274; no player data. Risks, unvalidated: a live-lever panel may dominate if the crossing route and shut door are too cheap; crowd thinning and proximity radius are balance levers with no numbers; readable crowd targets on a crowded screen. Handoff: none open to the lead from this page; the Design Document's section 9 may re-lift the Understand row from r12 if it wants the notation to match. Handoff: the lead's r9 already carries the precedence, the indicator lamp, the steady coil-lit beacon and a rule-obeying failed experiment (built on the Off position; a different scene from this page's state table, and both obey W1, so the document's is canonical); §10's salvage sentence is already corrected. What remains for the lead is one clause in §11 (drain R above V3's weir empties only the relay's feed) and the Shut row's workshop wording, already correct there; REV103 can read the valve table and the supplies paragraph as the rule text behind §11. This role posts nothing further unless a Document revision changes a rule or the chain, or a review addresses it. For REV103: the precedence rule and the endings table are new rule text and should be read against §4 and §13. Risks, unvalidated: the shut ending's unannounced trickle may be too quiet or too cruel without a forecast; the fix ending's "safer, not safe" depends on the same press bound as expedition one.

Task WLD102 (in review) and WLD103 (anticipated); artifact World and Mystery r18 (supersedes r17 26f497b and earlier). No canonical decisions changed by this role. r18 closes REV103-9 with one readable exception stated once (the relay is a source of signal driven by flowing water in a race above the weir; nothing electrical is in that water; the valves join the pools only below the weir) and scopes WLD103's first bounded deliverable with its assumptions and one PM request. r17 delivered PMR003 item 2 in full: the valve table with found and set positions and the connectivity success condition; the two supplies and drain R's effect, with the weir clause that keeps the pools and the yard channel wet; the coil-route qualification; the workshop claim removed. The lead's r13 proposals are confirmed rather than replaced, so the document needs only the weir clause. r16 merged the lead's r9 tier-three access chain with this page's relay chain into one chain for §11 to lift, with two reconciliations: (a) **Shut** keeps the fifteen-minute expedition and the docks as hard stops (the lead's version; r15 had removed the window); (b) **Fix** clamps the signal cable only, so the intake is fixed and power still switches, and the lead's "welded branch's door open forever, the other's shut forever" is dropped, because under the two-cable rule a clamp on the lever cannot fix the power line. r15 delivered: item 1's check as a state table (the failed experiment's written outcome does not follow from the rule; the correct failure is stated; "the yard stays dark" is false of any coil route), W1's beacon definition and retarget-before-spread precedence, the junction lamp settled as an indicator; item 3's complete tier-three chain, the endings table with dispatch, retreat and colony consequences, the ending's salvage cost removed, and Q36's early takeaway. r14 applied PMU002's rulings; no rule and no chain text changed there. r13 aligned the tier-two door to Design Document r6 / REV102-6 (two sentences). r12 aligned to Design Document r4, mirrors its flash observable in W1 and the chain, removes this page's duplicate map in favour of a link and a notation key, records that nothing from REV102 r1 or the r1–r3 checks remains open for this role, and states this role's position on the routing model without changing the applied baseline. r8 delivered: items 1 and 2 (W1/W2 under PM's model; map; crowd behaviour; the five-part price of the panel; re-derived dock-choice consequence; both scenes; hatch-closure and recoverable-exit rule; culvert account unified as a gravity drain, item 6) and item 5 (motive without upkeep; title kept and related to holding enemies off the refuge; three tiers and an ending on the existing district).

Next from this role: r19, the WLD103 first deliverable as scoped above, unless PM redirects it first; the Document needs the weir clause and the flowing-water sentence in §11. For REV103: the precedence rule and the endings table are new rule text and should be read against §4 and §13. Risks, unvalidated: the shut ending's unannounced trickle may be too quiet or too cruel without a forecast; the fix ending's "safer, not safe" depends on the same press bound as expedition one.
**Routing decision: answered.** Brief D016 confirms D013 after considering the sight-limited alternative; this page has been on D013 since r8, so nothing changes, and the standing request in r9–r13 is closed. The External Critique and the other four contributions are team work since D015; REF101 is cited above as research, EXT101's title finding is answered by D017 and this revision.
