If the body changes, can one still stand at the same workbench?
2155The deep futureDeadline · Decision deadline: 9 months, until the next facility contract
Civilisational assumption
The people, events, figures, and technology in this matter are stated assumptions. They are not to be treated as information about real individuals or as observed events. Background documents are separate sources, and symbolic interpretations are recorded as discovery paths.
The question to decide
Even if the body's size and the shape of the hands can be changed, the burden of returning to a shape that fits existing equipment and maintaining it stays with the individual. The budget is short of a full replacement, and a separate space carries the cost of being cut off from joint activity. What facilities and what agreements on use should the cooperative prepare, weighing each person's choice of form against the needs of existing users?

The options
The order shown is not a ranking of preference.
The situation as it stands
The fictional research participants are premised to be able to change the size of their bodies and the shape of their hands over time. Decision deadline: until the next facility contract, 9 months.
A fictional case in 2155 · Can a person whose body shape changes use the same facilities? The people, organizations, figures, and events are a synthetic premise constructed for comparison.
- Premise 1The fictional research participants are premised to be able to change the size of their bodies and the shape of their hands over time.
- Premise 2They can return to a standard form, but it takes time and the burden of maintaining that form falls on the individual.
- Premise 3The shared workshop budget is insufficient for full replacement of all facilities, and the needs of existing users remain.
Where it holdsAccess standards for shared facilities, individual choice, and cost sharing
What is still unknown
- Unknown 1The concrete distinction between essential access and optional convenience
- Unknown 2The actual burden of form transition and individual consent
- Unknown 3The extent to which partial facility changes can open up shared use
Signals to decide again
- Define the observation, responsible party, and confirmation channel for verifying 「the concrete distinction between essential access and optional convenience」, and re-judge when new confirmation changes the trade-offs of the options.
- Define the observation, responsible party, and confirmation channel for verifying 「the actual burden of form transition and individual consent」, and re-judge when new confirmation changes the trade-offs of the options.

Where the paths partNot answers — paths that part from the same starting point
It was confirmed that changing only the height and handles of part of the workbenches allows joint participation in the main activities.
Participants stated that they prioritize not being separated into a separate space over work performance.

Do people accept both the benefits of a new capability and the life that capability demands?
An exploratory perspective chosen by the creator. Does not claim supernatural validity or the superiority of any particular option.The benefits and costs of the options accrue to different stakeholders. Which loss to accept remains undecided.
