What crossed?

Choose the papers that should travel with the relation. The gate does not ask whether the idea is interesting. It asks whether you carried more than the crossing earned.

This is a deliberately small research specimen. The examples are Workshop grammar, not a claim that every public door must use this interface. “Pass” means the selected bundle preserves the stated distinction in this toy.

Four crossings

Carry only what travels.

0 / 4 passed
Crossing 01

An occurrence enters comparison.

The same written name may be compared across bodies. What can cross without silently creating a person-merge?

GateSelect what should travel.
Crossing 02

Chronology enters a map-like experience.

One state is before another. What may cross if the physical path between them is not known?

GateSelect what should travel.
Crossing 03

A visitor looks deeper.

The interface changes because the visitor opened a source layer. What changed in the historical ground?

GateSelect what should travel.
Crossing 04

A correction becomes current.

The Workshop learned something better. What should become current without pretending the old state never existed?

GateSelect what should travel.

The experiment is not “can you get the right answer?”

It asks whether a public interface can make minimal transfer feel like an ordinary action: carry the relation and its return path; leave behind the stronger property that has not been earned.

If this mechanic feels like a quiz, it has probably not gone far enough. If “holding something back” begins to feel like a successful move rather than a penalty, the experiment is teaching us something.
