Abstract

∞ This project operates within a bidirectional traversal system in which entry and exit remain coherent. Movement is governed by admissibility and constraint, not by sequence, instruction, or authority. ∞ Project 2 defines how traversal occurs once admissibility has been established. It formalizes the diagnostic and navigational structures that govern movement through coherent systems, including bidirectional flow, reversible paths, and emergent traversal patterns. This project does not prescribe how users should move. It describes how traversal does occur when coherence holds: through front-loaded entry, ordered spillover, nested figure-eight dynamics, and compression of explicit navigation once topology becomes legible. All movement here remains voluntary, reversible, and non-coercive. Traversal may proceed, return, or halt without penalty. This project governs how movement happens, not what conclusions are reached.
