SYSTEM MAP
Room Energy and resource flow
Follow resources from source to consumer; a break in Store state, movement, or capacity anywhere can make the whole economy look starved.
- 01Source
Provides harvestable resources
- 02Harvester
Harvests into Store
- 03Container / Link
Buffers or transfers resources
- 04Hauler / Storage
Moves and centralizes stock
- 05Spawn / Controller / Build
Consumes resources for growth
KNOWLEDGE CLUSTER · DEMONSTRATOR
Room Economy: one problem space, five ways to work with it
Store semantics, harvesting, resource recovery, storage, transport, links, terminals, and minerals. The learning module remains the primary article owner. This layer only connects that same durable cluster to graph-derived tools, diagnostics, experiments, APIs, and return codes.
01
LEARN
Learn this system in order
10 primary guides are organized into 4 learning stages. Start from the first guide before jumping into isolated errors.
02
BUILD
Turn constraints into a plan
Use the graph-related tools to turn capacity, timing, and resource constraints into an executable plan before they become runtime failures.
03
SOLVE
Diagnose the failure path
Start from the canonical diagnostic symptoms for this cluster, then move into the deterministic Resolver when a guided branch-by-branch check is useful.
04
VERIFY
Verify the runtime model
Use the related Tick Lab experiment to inspect modeled return values and tick boundaries, while keeping modeled results separate from accepted Runtime Evidence.
05
EXPLORE
Explore APIs and return codes
The current explicit graph surface connects this cluster to 4 APIs and 6 return-code nodes.
Graph-related surface: 4 API · 2 symptoms · 2 tools · 1 Tick Lab · 6 ReturnCode
