A claim of return arrives for a planet thought empty

4600The deep futureDeadline · Within 25 years, before the new settlement permit

Civilisational assumption

The people, events, figures, and contract terms are a synthetic premise. They are not statements of real cases or of current law. The source documents are the roots of the background and the norms and do not establish the premises of the scenario.

The question to decide

On a planet where no inhabitants have been observed for centuries, a new signal claims to be a base of a civilization that returns every few thousand years. The continuity between the sender and the ruins is unconfirmed, and the migrants would need decades more travel to reach other settlements. Which path will be chosen: granting settlement, holding off pending confirmation, or proposing joint use?

The options

The order shown is not a ranking of preference.

  1. Option 1

    Settle based on present observations

    It opens the lives of waiting migrants, but may infringe on the right of return operating on a long cycle.

  2. Option 2

    Hold off until continuity is confirmed

    It preserves the possibility of the returning party, but consumes the migrants' time and resources.

  3. Option 3

    Propose joint use

    It opens routes for both groups, but leaves authority and long-term use of the space unclear.

The situation as it stands

Humanity's centuries of observation found no inhabitants, but a new signal claims the space is an outpost of a civilization that returns on intervals of several thousand years. Decision deadline: within 25 years before the next settlement permit.

4,600-year future synthetic scenario · A moving civilization rediscovers the territory of a vanished civilization. The events, figures, technology, and nature of the civilization are assumptions for the sake of the question, not predictions of arrival or observed facts.

  1. Premise 1Humanity's centuries of observation found no inhabitants, but a new signal claims the space is an outpost of a civilization that returns on intervals of several thousand years.
  2. Premise 2Continuity between the sender and the site has not yet been confirmed.
  3. Premise 3Migrants waiting to settle would have to travel several decades more to reach another habitable site.

Where it holdsSettlement, access, and preservation of an old heritage site under humanity's management

What is still unknown

  1. Unknown 1Data that would confirm continuity between the sender and the site
  2. Unknown 2How long they can wait without settling
  3. Unknown 3Essential spaces that do not overlap each other

Signals to decide again

  • Decide what observation, responsible party, and confirmation window will verify 「data that would confirm continuity between the sender and the site」, and rejudge if a new confirmation changes the tradeoffs among the options.
  • Decide what observation, responsible party, and confirmation window will verify 「how long they can wait without settling」, and rejudge if a new confirmation changes the tradeoffs among the options.
  • Decide what observation, responsible party, and confirmation window will verify 「essential spaces that do not overlap each other」, and rejudge if a new confirmation changes the tradeoffs among the options.
Where the paths partNot answers — paths that part from the same starting point
Independent branch 1 · synthetic event

A clue has emerged from the site's cycle records that matches the return claim.

Independent branch 2 · synthetic event

A candidate zone for joint use turns out to be central to the counterpart's travel route.

What is an irreversible connection, and what does an exchange without a common language presuppose?

An exploratory perspective chosen by the creator. Does not claim supernatural validity or the superiority of any particular option.
Values and norms

The benefits and costs of the options accrue to different stakeholders. Which loss to accept remains undecided.

A subject for the decision-maker to argue over; the materials carry no conclusion of their own.
