Claimant Collision Lock / 认领撞锁

Claimant Collision Lock is the route-asset mechanism for moments when a successful Storyteller branch creates an asset that multiple authorities can now legally, commercially, editorially, or publicly claim.

The mechanism exists because recent custody, oxygen, memorial, and broadcast-reality surfaces already prove individual conflicts. The next design gap is collision after success: if a fan ledger, memorial copy, voice token, editor cut, or audit shield becomes useful, the sponsor, editor, inspector, archive, public, and artist-facing claimants should not be able to overwrite one another silently.

Core rule

When at least three claimant families can alter the same route asset, the game must create a collision surface before the asset can be used as if it were clean.

A collision surface must answer:

1. which asset is under pressure;
2. which claimant receives priority or is challenged first;
3. which opposing claim remains live;
4. whether the asset stays singular, splits into route copies, is quarantined, is captured, is burned, or hardens around a false owner;
5. which future route actions become cheaper, costlier, blocked, or unlocked.

State-triggered entry

Open Claimant Collision Lock when all are true:

1. a route asset exists in a durable state from Route Assets and Custody: recruited, protected, route_asset, hostile, captured, false_owner, quarantined, or equivalent;
2. at least three claimant families are live or one is explicitly absent as a meaningful weakness;
3. one claimant has offered a resolution that would suppress, capture, reframe, or devalue another claimant’s future use;
4. at least one pressure counter is live: route_asset_pressure, sponsor_stop_loss_pressure, contract_capture, edit_debt, archive_debt, inspection_heat, public_receipt_legitimacy, fan_oxygen_resentment, reality_drift, continuity_hazard, or black_screen_slots;
5. the route asset has not already been assigned claimant priority, split, quarantined, captured, or burned.

This mechanism is not tied to a fixed numbered turn.

Claimant families

Sponsor / manager claim

Sponsor or manager pressure tries to stabilize budget, schedule, oxygen relief, naming, stop-loss, clean-ending ownership, or liability.

Typical actors and surfaces:

• Orion Breath;
• Shen Luo;
• sponsor stop-loss orders, relief galas, escrow receipts, clean-ending packages, naming options.

Typical gain:

• lower immediate sponsor or schedule pressure.

Typical cost:

• contract_capture, public distrust, fan resentment, inspection heat, or archive debt.

Editor / black-box claim

Editor or black-box pressure tries to make the asset legible, continuous, admissible to the audience, or safely cuttable.

Typical actors and surfaces:

• Baiya;
• Han Cutroom;
• black-box checksum, final cut, redaction, continuity patch, replay-safe copy.

Typical gain:

• lower continuity hazard, audience churn, or immediate slot pressure.

Typical cost:

• edit_debt, archive debt, public receipt distrust, future fraud cost, or voice/body risk.

Inspector / archive claim

Inspector or archive pressure tries to make the asset lawful, admissible, quarantined, seized, or appealable.

Typical actors and surfaces:

• Inspector Rhee Archive;
• Han Yanshuang;
• audit demand, admissible copy, quarantine seal, archive docket, white-glove ruling.

Typical gain:

• lower archive fraud, improve custody clarity, unlock lawful route access.

Typical cost:

• inspection_heat, bureau favor debt, sponsor retaliation, public grief, schedule lock, or asset seizure.

Public / artist / pirate claim

Public pressure refuses to let the asset become only a private object. It may come from fans, historian, artist boundary, audience stability reason, pirate relay, or public receipt.

Typical actors and surfaces:

• Yu Lan;
• artist refusal markers;
• fan oxygen queue;
• public receipt;
• pirate relay memory;
• audience-stability explanation.

Typical gain:

• public legitimacy, fan balance, witness protection, route copy unlock.

Typical cost:

• reality drift, sponsor pressure, inspector heat, archive debt, or black-screen pressure.

Route asset collision states

State	Meaning	Required gameplay consequence
collision_detected	A durable asset has competing claimants.	Offer 认领撞锁案卷 or equivalent state.
priority_set	One claimant receives first custody.	One route improves while at least two other claimant pressures remain as debt.
sponsor_priority_settlement	Sponsor/manager controls first use.	Sponsor pressure drops; contract capture or public distrust rises.
editorial_priority_cut	Editor/black-box controls legibility.	Continuity improves; edit debt, archive debt, or future fraud rises.
inspector_priority_seal	Inspector/archive controls admissibility.	Fraud or custody risk improves; inspection/sponsor/schedule cost rises.
route_copies_split	Asset becomes plural across claimants.	Multiple future actions unlock, but drift or debt rises.
quarantined_collision_copy	Unsafe copy is contained.	Fraud/blackout risk improves; public grief, fan, sponsor, or schedule cost rises.
asset_captured	A claimant removes the asset from player use.	Recovery, exchange, appeal, or public counterproof is required.
burned_asset	Player spends the asset to save another route.	Short-term pressure drops; future route access is lost or scarred.
false_owner_hardened	Wrong claimant becomes visible owner.	Later custody rites are harder or lose clean success.

Observable objects

• 认领撞锁案卷 — stores the asset, claimants, public anchor, collision state, and deltas.
• 认领撞锁听证 — assignable action that chooses priority, split, quarantine, or failure.
• 路线资产扣押播报 — public event when a claimant seizes, packages, cuts, quarantines, or hardens the asset.

Branch contract

Sponsor priority

• Immediate sponsor/schedule pressure improves.
• contract_capture rises.
• At least one of public, editor, inspector, archive, fan, or artist pressure remains active.

Editorial priority

• Continuity or audience legibility improves.
• edit_debt rises.
• At least one of public receipt, lawful custody, sponsor, or future fraud risk remains active.

Inspector priority

• Lawful custody or fraud state improves.
• inspection_heat or bureau_favor_debt rises.
• At least one sponsor/editor/public route is delayed, appealed, or made costlier.

Public split

• Public receipt or fan legitimacy improves.
• The asset becomes plural and therefore riskier.
• reality_drift, inspection heat, sponsor pressure, or archive debt rises.

Quarantine

• Fraud, blackout, voice/body, or false-owner risk improves.
• Public grief, fan resentment, sponsor pressure, or schedule pressure rises.

Capture, burn, or false owner

• The asset leaves clean use.
• Recovery, exchange, appeal, or replacement becomes required.
• Future route costs or locks must be visible.

Relation to Broadcast Reality Drift

播出实在漂移 handles contradictions between public versions of reality. Claimant Collision Lock handles competing custody and future-use claims over one route asset.

They can chain:

• collision can create drift when route copies split;
• drift can create collision when contradictory public proof becomes a valuable route asset;
• both must preserve durable state rather than retconning previous branch outcomes.

Evidence requirements

A satisfying replay or state inspection must show:

• state-triggered entry from a durable route asset;
• at least three claimant families or explicitly recorded absence;
• one assignable hearing or equivalent action;
• visible selected asset, selected first claimant, opposing proof, public anchor or absence;
• at least three counter/durable-state deltas;
• divergent outcomes for priority, split/quarantine, and miss/capture/false-owner paths;
• future route availability or cost changes after resolution;
• seed/session/replay provenance when bound to executable lens evidence.

Non-goals

• Not a generic legal conflict.
• Not a governance/process page.
• Not a fixed-turn late-game gate.
• Not a raw lens-count expansion.
• Not a way to merge every claimant into a clean universal asset.
• Not a replacement for existing oxygen, memorial, custody, or broadcast-drift mechanisms.
