# Turn 001 Cross-Player Synthesis

**Status:** GM-only recommendation; completed only after all four individual analyses

## Direct interaction check

No submission directs one player community toward another, and no two player actions compete for the same actor, crew, store, route, or site this month. Therefore no player action overrides another and no combined scene is required.

## Indirect shared-system effects

| Shared system | Turn 001 finding | Propagation boundary |
|---|---|---|
| Greywater River and crossings | Ridgeford works the upper crossing; Claybank may reach Ferryend downstream | Neither party learns the other's private condition; Ferryend may know both places exist but carries no player-private fact |
| Ford Meadow / stock movement | Northbarrow's offer increases pressure for public Ridgeford access terms | This is an AI-community contact, not player-to-player contact |
| Westwood / Juniper path | Hazelstead's search remains local and recovers Lio before an external agreement is needed | Ava receives no required trigger; no Juniper Fold fact propagates to player2 |
| Whiteback run | Merehaven's local inlet restraint reduces immediate harm at one entry | No same-turn upstream benefit is observable; the full cycle remains unknown |
| Ferry network | Venn may receive Seln's preliminary service terms | Seln does not disclose Merehaven conditions or any hidden route network |

## Causal order

1. Local safety closures and resource gates take effect.
2. Early inspections and tests reveal differentiated physical evidence.
3. NPCs choose cooperation, guarded testimony, or bounded resistance in response to the submitted incentives.
4. Conditional journeys occur only after local gates: Pell can reach a Northbarrow scout; Venn can reach Ferryend if runoff falls; Merehaven remains local.
5. No rumor has a supported route between players before the turn closes.

## Autonomous actor resolution

- Dorr uses technical leadership but cannot suppress witnessed toe-stone evidence.
- Sila delays unilateral movement because the plan gives a real timetable and route process; fodder urgency advances.
- Beren keeps a legitimate marking role but defends rather than confesses when protected-grove marks are found.
- Rusk supplies selective technical interpretation and disputes causal weight; Hobb's witnessed evidence prevents quiet closure.
- Toren preserves senior status through bounded deep-water work and attacks the scope of the inference rather than defying every limit.
- Oren and Seln each make conditional, self-interested offers. Ava and Tovan lack a direct trigger this month.

## Convergence, rules, and victory review

The four plans independently favor witnessed counts, bounded expert authority, tests before commitment, and temporary institutions. One simultaneous turn is not enough to activate an emergent rule or victory attractor. Record the pattern as an observation only after approved results establish it; do not create a bonus or universal institution.

## Recommended integrated position

Approve four local outcome packages. Keep all hidden authorship facts unresolved in player-facing knowledge while allowing observable physical evidence to advance. Permit two bounded AI-community contacts, no player-to-player contact, no elimination, no rule activation, and no victory activation.

The consolidated decisions are T001-D01 through T001-D04.
