How this Universe behaves
Work from concept sketch to adaptation blueprint.
The structure changes with the medium instead of forcing every Universe into the same catalog pattern.
Understand
Make the unusual idea concrete enough to discuss.
Test the concept
Define a small experiment or experience check without calling it validated.
Adapt
Remix the blueprint for a different place, audience, format, or constraint.
