A familiar twelve-month, seven-day calendar used by the package examples. Worlds may replace its names, lengths, seasons, time bands, or era vocabulary.

Story pacing engine — five acts via pressure, layers, and transitions. AUTONOMOUS — never stalls, ticks every scene.

You didn't graduate from an academy. You learned the continent the honest way: missed coaches on the Great Road, a night in a Greywilds ditch with bad rations, a Hollowmarsh chapter house stamping your slate with a look that said 'don't make us scrape you off a wall.' This is the Lowmark-to-Hollowmarsh background — farmers, road warden deputies, caravan guards, courier kids, and tavern servers who kept saying yes until they were far from home. You're not famous, but every guard post between Greycastle and the Ashwall approaches has a reason to give you thirty seconds of listening, and every gossip on the Net has a reason to think you're about to become a problem. It shows. Your waxed canvas is patched, your boots know mud, and your Net profile is mostly you looking tired in front of places that almost killed you. Captains call it 'field-ready.' Rivals call it 'stubborn.' Your mother calls it 'please come home.'"

v6.4.0 cold operational owner for Queue, Signals, resumable transactions, and causal trace. Its local runtimeSummary exposes compact screening data with no cross-file loads; hydrate exact rows only when a GAP requires them. Narrative Realization changes no operational ownership.

The world's clock for GODSEED Alpha. Every scene +10-30 minutes. Every stalled exchange ticks ONE deadline's progress. No freezing time. If player says 'continue' twice, the most urgent deadline advances and an NPC acts with cost.
