main vs on-time · day 9
Apr 2026
In main, food pressure forced the east trade — a resolution driven by necessity. In alt1-on-time, a buffer let YY spend the day mapping freely, discovering the corridor's role as a seed delivery system without urgency.
main
Crossed east under food pressure; pine cone for cache marker; east channel confirmed; west seedlings noted in passing as future return.
on-time
Spent the morning tracing the shade corridor; found seedling clusters at three drainage points; mapped the corridor as a seasonal seeding mechanism; hazelnut partially consumed at leisure.
key differences
- —main completed the east trade under food pressure (0.21); alt1-on-time explored freely with buffer (0.52)
- —main's seedlings were a brief observation; alt1-on-time's seedlings revealed the corridor's delivery mechanism
- —main's attention settled as the east boundary question closed; alt1-on-time's attention rose as the territory map deepened
- —main gained food through trade; alt1-on-time gained food through small corridor forage
still shared
- ·both encountered seedling growth on flood-disturbed soil
- ·both updated their understanding of the territory from the same physical evidence
- ·both ended the day with more information about return potential of damaged or underused ground
