GAME DECISION MAP
Distinct repeating structures operate together to shape the game's play flow. The action and return cadence of each structure continues in the detailed analysis below.
Recurring Structures
What repeats and keeps the system moving?
Distinct repeating structures operate together to shape the game's play flow. The action and return cadence of each structure continues in the detailed analysis below.
Preserves every repeating structure identified in the analysis without selecting a representative Core.

Bottlenecks
Where do decisions and flow break?
The decision path breaks across Action Feedback and Failure Attribution Break. Preserve the protected value identified in the analysis.
Outcomes, causes, rules, rewards, and retry information do not close the feedback loop needed for correction.

Contradictions
What must improve, and what must remain protected?
Improve reproducible choice → build/result → stress/continuation → next-choice interpretation while preserving build diversity, Evolution, Arcana, mastery, achievement.
Continuity to the next action, return, or reinvestment must improve while route diversity, strategic depth, and throughput remain protected.
View pattern definition →Improve reproducible choice → build/result → stress/continuation → next-choice interpretation while preserving build diversity, Evolution, Arcana, mastery, achievement.
Improve access → result → unlock → next-access provenance legibility while preserving route/content breadth, exploration autonomy, achievement, ownership distinctions.
Improve interpretable Gold allocation and choice agency across source/sink, balance, price/cap, result while preserving currency simplicity, Refund, economy stability, non-cash boundary.
Improve visible, timely rule/platform/build state at choice and result while preserving legitimate rule diversity and lifecycle integrity.
Improve predictable role-specific ownership, settlement, and re-entry provenance while preserving cooperation, participation, accepted progress, ownership integrity.
Improve consistent release → Ascend reset/point → re-entry interpretation while preserving Adventure/replay, platform/lifecycle distinction, accumulated value.
