Expectation, not decoration
The word must change what a participant believes they are contributing or receiving. The exact meaning is intentionally left as a testable hypothesis.
Legacy concept universe · Future Concept
Turn an evocative exchange premise into a bounded evidence cycle without confusing a name, a budget band, or a coherent plan with validation.
Orientation
The source does not claim that people want this. It defines a connected planning problem: clarify the promise, recruit a few people on each relevant side, manually coordinate matches, measure friction and workload, and decide what the next evidence cycle should be.
The word must change what a participant believes they are contributing or receiving. The exact meaning is intentionally left as a testable hypothesis.
A map could be personal, prompted, practical, or something else. The universe treats format and privacy implications as variables to test, not facts to invent.
Value depends on a workable contribution-and-receipt journey, not a landing page. Manual coordination is the preserved first proof.
Flagship path
Each surface exposes a dependency the legacy Asteroid class explicitly connects. You can read linearly or jump to the uncertainty currently blocking a decision.

The legacy record calls for a very small number of participants on each relevant side and a few manually coordinated matches or transactions.
