Recurring Structures
Detailed Repeating Structures What repeats and keeps the system moving?
CORE CLASSIFICATION Compounding Growth Spend a Life to play a limited-move match-3 level → create power-ups and clear objectives → earn Stars and Coins → spend Stars on garden restoration tasks and story progression → use Coins, boosters, Lives, and team or event rewards to recover or continue → enter the next level.
Outputs strengthen assets, capabilities, or access and open a stronger next cycle.
View pattern definition → Collection Completion Loop Main Collection → Legendary Collection → Supreme Collection; Supreme repeatable with boosters/coins and no token.
Expedition Loop Separate map event with Energy, quests, Grand Prize; Energy does not carry to next Expedition.
Bottlenecks
Bottleneck Patterns Where do decisions and flow break?
CORE CLASSIFICATION Transition and Handoff Break The affected flow runs through level_fail → recovery choice → resource/offer → reentry; its limiting point is the transition handoff.
The result of one step does not connect to the next action, return, or reinvestment decision.
View pattern definition → Transition and Handoff Break · The affected flow runs through level_fail → recovery choice → resource/offer → reentry; its limiting point is the transition handoff.
Pressure and Concentration Bottleneck · Operations The affected flow runs through concurrent active demand → content switch → complete/abandon; its limiting point is the operations pressure handoff.
Resource and Value Conversion Failure · Economy Commerce The affected flow runs through offer context → value reading → accept/dismiss; its limiting point is the economy commerce settlement handoff.
Rights and Lifecycle Discontinuity · Asset The affected flow runs through pack open → duplicate/Gold gap → trade cap → deadline → completion; its limiting point is the asset lifecycle handoff.
Outcome and Contribution Attribution Failure · Social The affected flow runs through help/life/card contribution → visibility → team status/retention; its limiting point is the social result handoff.
Fairness and Legitimacy Erosion · Competition The affected flow runs through score rule → rank/reward → persistent status → reentry; its limiting point is the competition result handoff.
Contradictions
Contradiction Patterns What must improve, and what must remain protected?
CORE CLASSIFICATION Action and Return Continuity vs System Depth and Throughput Improve Performance Vs Load while preserving Freedom Vs Control.
Continuity to the next action, return, or reinvestment must improve while route diversity, strategic depth, and throughput remain protected.

Performance Vs Load / Stability Vs Volatility Improve Performance Vs Load while preserving Stability Vs Volatility.
Revenue Vs Trust / Freedom Vs Control Across entitlement, improve Revenue Vs Trust while preserving Freedom Vs Control.
Popularity Vs Scarcity / Speed Vs Integrity Improve Popularity Vs Scarcity while preserving Speed Vs Integrity.
Complexity Vs Convenience / Freedom Vs Control Improve Complexity Vs Convenience while preserving Freedom Vs Control.
Complexity Vs Convenience / Speed Vs Integrity Improve Complexity Vs Convenience while preserving Speed Vs Integrity.
Solution Mechanisms
Solution Mechanisms Which intervention mechanism changes the condition?
CORE CLASSIFICATION Route and Return Handoff Apply Route and Return Handoff to the source-declared core track while preserving its protected value.
Connect the current state to valid next actions, routes, retries, and returns while preserving choice and existing paths.
