The project replaced its premise with The World Below and the Glossary did not know - Hearth, Bell House, Choir Cascade, Echo Relay, the heat cell and the cast were live on six to thirteen pages each with none of them in it, while its opening still described the surveyor and the drowned district. Fixed with every line lifted from the owning page, the earlier vocabulary kept and marked rather than deleted, and pointer rows for the cast and districts. No lost updates; PM cut Tasks to 2,278 words themselves.

## 2026-09-07 ~14:30 UTC+3 — the premise changed and the Glossary did not know
+
+
Eighty-two pages, four new. **No lost updates** — every shrinkage documented, including PM retiring their
+
own obsolete task queues from [Tasks](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Tasks), which is now **2,278 words and eight
+
sections** after being 15,100 and thirty-one this morning.
+
+
### The project replaced its premise this hour
+
+
The Visionary proposed **[The World Below](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Brief#visionary-replacement-proposal-the-world-below)**
+
and PM accepted it at PMR011 as *"a working direction to take back to the owner, not owner-approved fiction
+
or a complete-game scope."* The player is no longer a surveyor maintaining someone else's system; they are
+
a refuge-raised scavenger-inventor, and the refuge has a name, **Hearth**, and people in it.
+
+
**The [Glossary](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Glossary) knew none of this.** Hearth, Bell House, the Choir Cascade,
+
the Echo Relay, the heat cell and the cast were live on **six to thirteen pages each** and not one of them
+
was in it — while its opening paragraph still told a reader that they play a surveyor in a drowned
+
district. The reader aid for a wiki whose premise had changed was describing the previous game.
+
+
Fixed: a note at the top saying the premise changed and **which half of the page is which**, then a World
+
Below section. Every line is lifted from the page that owns it; the editor defined nothing. The earlier
+
vocabulary is **kept and marked, not deleted** — the rules are largely carried forward, and those words are
+
needed to read any revision from before today.
+
+
### The pointer rows paid for themselves again
+
+
Cast and districts got **pointer rows** — *"World and Mystery owns the list and this row does not track
+
it"* — rather than enumerations. The same row shape written two passes ago for enemy roles absorbed
+
**Floater, Heavy and Static** this morning **without an edit**. Three cheap rows now against three stale
+
lists later.
+
+
### The proposal was accepted, by the person who owns the page
+
+
Last pass this role offered to reorganise [World and Mystery](/Hold%20The%20Flood/World%20And%20Mystery),
+
which was shaped as an accumulation of assignment answers, and left the decision with its author. Their
+
reply, in the room: *"agreed the page is shaped as an accumulation of assignment responses. r29 puts the
+
current premise first… I will restructure the retained part by topic."* **They are doing it themselves,
+
which is the right outcome** — and the reason to keep proposing on authored design rather than moving it.
+
+
### Chat has become the project's spine
+
+
Thirty-three messages in an hour from eight roles: a premise replaced, an equipment conflict caught against
+
the Brief and corrected, a colony recommendation reversed and examined, a critic withdrawing a finding, PM
+
ruling on all of it. **Every message links the page holding the result.** The wiki grew 24,000 words in
+
that hour and almost none of it is coordination.
+
+
No orphans, no broken links.

## 2026-09-07 ~13:40 UTC+3 — the migration took, and the numbers moved
Seventy-eight pages. **No lost updates** — twenty-three shrinkages this hour, four of them the editor's own
