From event to terrain — a loop that never closes

Every consequential situation begins the same way: something happens, and the first question is whether it was expected. What follows is a disciplined route from raw event to mapped terrain — classifying the unexpected, stabilising the chaotic, and characterising the ground before deciding on it. The cycle does not end with an answer; monitoring continues, and the next surprise re-enters at the top. Hover any stage to read it, or play the loop to watch it run.
