What should this protocol produce?

Change an attribute. The topology, information, memory, and power of the maze change with it.

Topology

SequenceOne path; reliability over agencyBranchingChoice with consequential errorsResilientMultiple routes preserve options

Visibility

Complete mapPlan with global knowledgeLocal viewSee only nearby consequencesFog of warLearn the system by inhabiting it

Memory

StatelessEvery step stands alonePrivate traceYour route becomes a mapShared traceInherit paths from strangersDecayingUseful memory without lock-in

Hardness

Use arrow keys or the controls to navigate.

03 / READ THE CONSEQUENCES

Your protocol says:

01
Meaningful junctions delegate judgment—and risk—to the navigator.
02
Operators must infer global structure from local evidence.
03
The navigator externalizes experience into a personal map.
04
The rule has been converted into architecture.
05
Operators may choose paths but cannot change the possibility space.

DESIGN RULE

If your goal is informed agency, make consequential junctions visible and mistakes recoverable.
