**Intervening revisions, stated rather than hidden.** Six of these moved under the Systems 528 alignment while this article was stopped. Every room, control and object fact cited below was re-verified against the **new** revisions; the R03, R13, R18, R19, R32 and R36 rows this article depends on are unchanged by those edits. Where a Systems edit later changes a cited passage, the finding here is what needs rechecking, not the identity map.

The index uses the source revisions above. A later change to a cited observation or state boundary requires checking its consumers; a new revision alone does not rename the underlying room, person or object.
**Counts.** 8 chains (L1–L4, S1–S4) · 15 primary scenes (Y1–Y3, A1–A3, D1–D3, M1–M3, I1–I3) · **26 evidence index entries**, reusing their actual records and objects · 7 mutually exclusive rescue host variants · 5 Story30 personal variants · 2 dependency orders. Existing inventories are unchanged: 24 modules / 40 rooms, 10 encounters including 2 setpieces, 13 major mechanisms.
## 0. Identifier provenance
-
**Canonical, cited to their owners:** chain IDs L1–L4 (Two Language Discovery Map), S1–S4 (Story and Ending Map), scene IDs Y1–I3 (Cast and Short Rescue Map), room IDs R01–R40 and module IDs M01–M24 (Station Room and Module Inventory), objective numbers 1–12 (Regional Discovery Map).
+
**Established identities:** scene IDs Y1–I3 belong to Cast and Short Rescue Map; R01–R40 and M01–M24 to Station Room and Module Inventory; objective numbers 1–12 to Regional Discovery Map. **L1–L4 and S1–S4 are index labels here for the four numbered chains in Two Language Discovery Map and Story and Ending Map respectively.** Those parents do not literally define these prefixed IDs. Room32 already uses L2 as shorthand for the second language chain; this index preserves that reference without inventing a parent-owned ID register.
-
**Not canonical:** every `A-…` evidence key below. **Language29 defines no evidence keys at all**, and neither does any other parent. An earlier draft of this page implied two classes — that `E-…` keys were canonical and only `X-…` keys were invented — and that was wrong: **all of them are locally invented indexing aliases created by this article**, and every one carries a proposed source owner. Nothing here renumbers or renames an established room, scene, chain, module or objective identity, and no parent needs to adopt these keys for its own text to be correct.
+
**Evidence aliases:** every `A-…` key below is a locally created index handle for observations in the cited source descriptions. The source-owner table below names those descriptions and the player decisions they inform. A handle can group the readings needed for one comparison; it is not a new object or a promise that the game captures a whole sequence in one action. No established identity is renumbered, and parents need not adopt these aliases.

**One observation, several kinds of consumer.** `A-TRANSFER` feeds L3 as a role distinction and S3 as movement evidence; `A-REPLY` feeds L4 as register evidence and S2/S4 as evidence about what the line is; `A-PROFILE` feeds S2 causally and Y3/M3 as something a person reacts to. Shared observations are reused; distinct stages still require their own actual captures.
**The chronology is three records, not a reader.** `A-STRIP`, `A-CARD` and `A-BERTH` share explicit cross-references and together support *old seal state → human profile installation → current docking registration* **for these records only**. The player compares them in the paused journal; nothing declares the chronology true, and no diagnostic reads history.
-
**The comparison needs an actual earlier capture.** `A-PROFILE`'s controlled comparison requires a **before** capture that the player actually committed. Two post-isolation results establish only current disconnection. No prior record is generated retroactively to complete a comparison the player did not make.

**Each comparison needs its actual observations.** The initial side-by-side active-profile/bypass test needs both committed outcomes; it has no additional earlier-capture prerequisite. Comparing behavior **before and after isolation** does require a before-capture the player actually made. Two post-isolation results establish only current disconnection. No prior record is generated retroactively.

These are Regional25's two viable orders. The arrows are **dependency priorities, not corridors**; current access can interleave eligible objectives, and either order can defer R-3 until its short geometry exists.

Objectives 2, 3, 4 and 8 earn movement, impact and positional parts and give L2 its broad wall-access reading at 1 and 8 **before** any language work. **Objective 6 completes without language**, from gauges and the long access, so `A-R18SEAL`, `A-CYCLE` and D1 are available before L2's shortcut is understood; 10 then exposes the conditional apparent-departure preparation. Only afterwards do 5, 7 and 9 supply `A-RUNS`, `A-TAAN`, `A-TRANSFER`, `A-AB`, `A-ADDRESS` and `A-REPLY`, which **reinterpret evidence already stored** rather than unlocking it. Objective 11 asks for the same physical pressure-equalisation action it always asks for; the language routes make it predictable, never optional. Objective 12 depends on authored placement and a selected joining rule — not on 10, rescue, treatment or an ending.

Objectives 2, 3, 4 and 8 earn movement, impact and positional parts and expose the physical wall/panel/slab differences used by L2 at 1 and 8, before systematic language comparison. Seeing those differences does not automatically grant their interpretation. **Objective 6 completes without language**, from gauges and the long access, so `A-R18SEAL`, `A-CYCLE` and D1 are available before L2's shortcut is understood; 10 then exposes the conditional apparent-departure preparation.

**Language-and-network first — 1 → 5 → 7 → 3 → 6 → 9 → 4 → 8 → 11 → 2 → 10 → 12.** Riskier observation comes early: 5 and 7 give L1/L3 before most parts exist, and tested predictions shorten 6 and 9. Objective 4 arrives late, so R-3 and its rescue wait for a current short geometry — and **no chain stalls**, because 5, 7, 9 and 11 never require a survivor. Objective 11's iris is reached before the ship assemblies are complete; the physical action is identical. `A-STRIP` is therefore available early here and late in the other order, which changes when the three-record chronology can be assembled but not what it supports.
