Between the promise of return and the home we have now

2090The far futureDeadline · Within 18 months, before the settlement agreement is renewed

A leap assumed

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

Maintaining the right of return to a coastal village when no one knows when it will be livable again reduces present settlement support. Most descendants have never lived in that village. Between carrying on the promise made by those who left and securing the home of now, who should decide, and up to which generation, whether to keep or convert the right of return?

The options

The order shown is not a ranking of preference.

  1. Option 1

    Keep the right to return to the original location

    Carries on the promise to those who left, but keeps spending present settlement resources on an uncertain return.

  2. Option 2

    Convert to a fixed right of new settlement

    Strengthens the footing of present life, but ends a common promise premised on having a place to return to.

  3. Option 3

    Let each generation rechoose the form of the right

    Reflects the differing intentions about how to live, but splits families and the community under different agreements.

The situation as it stands

The assumed community promised the right to return to a coastal village it left long ago, but most of the descendants have never lived there. Decision deadline: within 18 months, before the settlement agreement is renewed.

A fictional future matter set in 2090 · An old coastline map decides the rights of those who may return home. The events, figures, technology, and nature of the civilization are assumptions for the sake of the question, not predictions of what is coming or observed facts.

  1. Premise 1The assumed community promised the right to return to a coastal village it left long ago, but most of the descendants have never lived there.
  2. Premise 2No date has been set for when the original location becomes habitable, and the cost of keeping the right is taken out of present settlement support.
  3. Premise 3Changing the right can stabilize present homes, but weakens the original community's promise.

Where it holdsVanished coast, promise of return, new settlement

What is still unknown

  1. Unknown 1Signals about the possibility of return that can actually be observed
  2. Unknown 2The present opportunity cost of keeping the right
  3. Unknown 3The differing priorities of descendants and direct migrants

Signals to decide again

  • Decide what observation, person in charge, and verification channel will confirm “signals about the possibility of return that can actually be observed,” and reopen the judgment if new verification changes the tradeoffs among the options.
  • Decide what observation, person in charge, and verification channel will confirm “the present opportunity cost of keeping the right,” and reopen the judgment if new verification changes the tradeoffs among the options.
  • Decide what observation, person in charge, and verification channel will confirm “the differing priorities of descendants and direct migrants,” and reopen the judgment if new verification changes the tradeoffs among the options.
Where the paths partNot answers — paths that part from the same starting point
Independent branch 1 · synthetic event

Parts of the original location became accessible again, but the earlier basis of life did not return.

Independent branch 2 · synthetic event

A new generation proposed converting the rights to the home while keeping the place name and the common records together.
