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
A major issue arising during hibernation can exceed the meaning of a vote delegated in advance. If the awake members decide, long obligations are created for the absent as well; but waiting until everyone wakes may close off the options. How should the votes of hibernating members be handled?

The order shown is not a ranking of preference.
The situation as it stands
During the voyage, some members enter a fictional long hibernation, while those awake maintain the facilities and shared life. Decision deadline: within 18 months, before the first hibernation cycle.
Future synthetic case, year 2250 · Who casts the votes of absent crew members while they are in hibernation. The nature of the events, figures, technology, and civilization is an assumption for the question, not a prediction of what will come or an observed fact.
- Premise 1During the voyage, some members enter a fictional long hibernation, while those awake maintain the facilities and shared life.
- Premise 2Waking everyone is possible, but the setting is that it carries large resource and adjustment costs.
- Premise 3Important decisions arise in conditions not predicted before hibernation, and the delegation documents cannot cover all of them.
Where it holdsRepresentation, voting, and post-return re-examination during hibernation
What is still unknown
- Unknown 1Options that will be irretrievably lost if we wait
- Unknown 2The scope of changes covered by the delegation
- Unknown 3The possibility of securing representativeness through partial awakening
Signals to decide again
- Decide what observations, owners, and confirmation windows will verify "options that will be irretrievably lost if we wait," and rejudge if a new confirmation changes the tradeoffs among the options.
- Decide what observations, owners, and confirmation windows will verify "the scope of changes covered by the delegation," 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
A proposal has emerged that conflicts with the absentee's expected preferences and the present allocation of survival resources.
A means of reducing awakening costs has been secured, but it has not been applied to everyone.
