Goals and residual processing
Initial IFR · goal direction
Realign exposure, sequence, operations and rules at the established decision junction, prioritizing recombination of existing elements toward the recovery goals.
Final IFR · design goal
Layer state, cause, result and the next manual replan within existing base or Pal surfaces, preserving manual choice and existing control and value-write boundaries.
Residual processing
- Final residual-processing scope
- 0
- Design-based natural-resolution count
- 0
Processing completion describes the design workload. Actual resolution is established through observations and validation after application.

Compounding Growth
Explore and capture Pals → gather resources and build a base → assign Pals by Work Suitability → queue production and route inputs → collect outputs and manage Pal condition → craft, grow, fight, and expand → replan the base and return to exploration.
Outputs strengthen assets, capabilities, or access and open a stronger next cycle.
