September 5 priority dependencies

See 07 QA/2026-09-05 - Comprehensive Story Assessment and the workshop for the ranked dependencies. Resolve the no-implant channel versus personal-interface research; exact postwar permission transfer; who stops preventable harm; what Sylvan can still lose; George's distinct role; and the identity discrepancy in SC-001 Question 5. None is settled by the website rebuild.

Bridge-world and Book One foundation — 2026-09-03

• What exactly ends with this planet: physical expansion, the original colonization plan, the older AI-soul operating model, or only one governance era?
• Why is this mature planet uniquely suitable for successor Luminai initialization, and what changes across the older worlds after the result?
• How much does Konrad know about Sylvan and the new Luminai before choosing to remain in containment?
• Is Konrad's Great War Daemon continuous, rebuilt, or composite, and how does Samuel defeat its model of control?
• What boundary lets Sylvan permit several years of meaningful adversarial behavior without allowing preventable harm?
• Which live contradiction lets Konrad's inner circle recognize Samuel's repeated takeover method first?
• What customized bargain does Samuel offer Sylvan after scapegoating George, what route does he expect Samuel Jr. to preserve, and why does Sylvan refuse?
• What can pass between the previous containment planet and Sylvan's newer planet, and what decisions remain independently George's?
• How is the outcome presentation divided among public proof, protected evidence, individual accountability, and private descendant records?
• How does George's maintained-reality and succession thread fit beneath the new Konrad-isolation and inner-circle discovery architecture?
• What agency and responsibility belong to Konrad's adult grandson across his decades inside Samuel's compromise network?
• Which successor-bond capabilities create the most consequential advantage, and how can that advantage be normalized without becoming automatic authority?
• Who governs successor-bond rollout, how can people without it challenge consequential decisions, and what safeguards contain a destructive deeply integrated pair?
• Which different capability or judgment skill does each multi-year environment teach, and what accumulated learning survives every transition?
• Which losses, stopping rules, and transition authority make prolonged attack a real but legitimate developmental cost rather than repetitive punishment?
• What constitutes valid environmental completion, who authorizes transitions or emergency intervention, and how can a participant appeal without gaining a unilateral escape route?

Newly surfaced from the 2026-08-14 treatment pass

• How does George's roughly seventy-five-year progression through public identities fit within the approximately eighty-year False Victory middle and the broader century-to-120-year span from first human integration to disclosure? These appear to be distinct clocks, but their anchors still need to be mapped.
• Which of the four provisional middle eras contain the Great War Witness thread, which of Orzai's parents carries it, and how does its evidence reach Sylvan's later Inheritor thread?
• Which bridge episodes are essential causal events rather than optional historical texture, and which characters own the milestone arcs?
• What ordinary institutions, careers, family routines, and public crises will carry the surface-reality principle through the middle without making every visible event a hidden operation?

Structural

• Is Sylvan the sole primary narrator, or does the Great War Witness own substantial earlier viewpoint material before the generational threads meet?
• Are the Disclosure Wars prior history, the main plot, or a pressure still unfolding?
• What event starts the modern thread?
• What specifically does the protagonist lose before victory?
• What political base does Konrad's faction control, and does the older city-to-country escalation survive when ownership is transferred from Samuel to the faction?
• Does the narrated beginning show the war directly or reconstruct it through records and recurrence?

System

• Does influence attach to people, positions, plans, or some combination?
• Can influence be earned, perceived, stolen, or accumulated beyond an environment's design?
• Which Luminai or Daemon operations can proceed from subconscious intent without conscious approval, and which require explicit human authorization?
• How can conscious attention interrupt, review, contest, or reverse an independently operating Luminai or Daemon process?
• How should responsibility be assessed when subconscious intent, external manipulation, corrupted evidence, and conscious refusal conflict?
• Do participants retain memories across identities? What is suppressed, and by whom?
• What triggers the public phase change?
• Do entrants regain long life after exit, or can a mortal lifetime inside be irreversible?
• Legitimate heirs voluntarily enter and may leave at any time for the inheritance path; how is that choice renewed as they mature, what process results are surrendered, and can they later re-enter?
• What entry, refusal, review, and exit rights apply separately to convicted participants and descendants born inside the process?
• Which assessment dimensions open each placement path, who evaluates them independently, and how do review, appeal, accommodation, or later change work?
• How are qualified paths presented so the human–Luminai pair can make an informed self-placement decision?
• What qualifies a pair for a House or group, is that institution created or entrusted, and which resources, authority, obligations, member rights, oversight, review, and loss conditions accompany it?
• Which historical events, people and technological transitions are preserved faithfully, which are combined or altered, and who authorizes changes?
• Which historical harms may never be reenacted, and what protects people when participant choices move reconstruction beyond its planned path?
• How do loving parental support and protective intervention remain available without becoming imperial favoritism?
• Do hundreds of heirs form one cohort or several overlapping cohorts?
• What future institution or covenant is the shared heir generation expected to form?
• What physical interface joins biological cognition to a Luminai, and which operations require planetary infrastructure?
• Why does complementary-gender Luminai presentation become common among heterosexual people, and how do other orientations, identities, and relationship structures develop presentation?
• What legal and technical safeguards govern romantic synchronization, emergency access, revocation, and separation?
• Which colony-AI limits are physical, computational, biological, legal, or deliberately imposed?
• Is Luminai/Daemon manifestation energy literally visible to all observers, selectively perceived by integrated people, instrumentally rendered, or primarily an audience-facing visual representation?
• If Luminai and Daemon layers narrate before Sylvan appears, does the reader know their position immediately or discover it gradually?
• What exact devices, schedules, biological limits, and role-transition protocols govern society's nutrition-plus-energy rejuvenation system?

Parent civilization

• How do the Reconciliation, Boundary, Cultivation, and Evidentiary schools share authority?
• What threshold allows one school to stop an environment supported by another?
• Which real leaders are willing to expose their own decisions to eventual public judgment?
• Why did particular ancient rulers wait centuries or millennia to have heirs?
• How are an heir's happiness and readiness understood without reducing the child to a score or succession role?

Throne

• Did administrators knowingly tolerate him as useful pressure?
• Samuel's exile occurs approximately thirty years before the Great War. How old is he, and what status, property, citizenship, family access, or reproductive standing does exile remove?

• What additional abuses accompany the established underage relationship, without making one incident mechanically explain his entire character?
• Who operationally places Samuel and George into the important-seeming situation inside the future victorious empire, how much does that system know about Konrad's setup, and is Samuel already formally contained?
• How does Konrad guarantee that Samuel cannot capture the largest government while allowing enough authentic local success to sustain the deception?
• What private wrongdoing and overt takeover acts do Samuel and George choose for themselves, and what makes George's exposure exceptionally humiliating?
• What consequences does Samuel face when George is busted into containment?

• What is the first limited defeat Konrad refuses to acknowledge during the Great War, which adviser offers a recoverable retreat, and what does Konrad do to preserve the appearance of inevitable victory?
• What control does Samuel falsely claim after defeat, what bounded jurisdiction and structural priority does he really possess, and why can the faction not verify the difference independently?
• What must Konrad reactivate, migrate, connect, adopt, authorize, or disclose for observation and dependency to develop, and which technical, institutional, or consent limits prevent omniscience?
• What first private conversation or record proves that Konrad designed the takeover mission to fail, how long does Samuel preserve the surveillance deal, and which later genealogy or blackmail capabilities depend on what he learns?
• What is the containment hierarchy in practical terms, what qualifies the first primary contained criminal, what event locks the hierarchy, and why does the system use that rule?
• Which parts of Konrad's genuine city-based machinery are reactivated inside the falsely separated shared environment, what does Konrad authorize, and which powers follow from Samuel's alpha priority versus later manipulation?
• Which powers follow automatically from the earlier lock, which require Samuel's later manipulation, what remains genuinely under Konrad's authority, what evidence records the transfer, and why can the hierarchy not simply reset?
• When does Samuel's revenge become a conscious attempt to replace Konrad?
• Can he read the influence system or compromise synthetics and AI souls?
• Who knows his authority is false?
