Signal Vessel Manual
Origin Signal
The engine begins with an eclipse charge: a dark core wrapped in gold emission. The charge is unstable until it is read as geometry.
Emergence Process
Energy -> Geometry -> Vessel Form. Dust and corona become rings, axes, nodes, ribs, and finally a vessel body.
Vessel Purpose
The ship is a signal vessel. It stores, carries, and transmits decoded temporal states rather than simply traveling through space.
Morphologies
Vase stores the signal. Ark transports the signal. Spire broadcasts the signal.
Gate Capabilities
The four gates stabilize the extracted vessel, open cardinal channels, amplify probe confidence, and use signal digits as activation keys.
Engineering Capability
The core behaves as a dark solar capacitor. The corona bleeds charge into rings, probes calculate navigable geometry, and the gates convert signal lock into travel permission.
Travel Modes
Ark performs spatial transit. Gate performs temporal slip. Spire transmits the vessel as signal. Imprint recalls a stored return-state.
Destinations
Use DS to choose Local Orbit, Star System, Origin Constellation, Remote Beacon, or Return Anchor. Use GO to attempt transit after nav and stability are ready.
Source A Link
RX listens to Source A. TX broadcasts the vessel signal. LINK attempts two-way lock. Source A can also be selected as a destination with DS.
Captain Guidance
The simple operating purpose is: read the field, align the gates, save a return imprint, request the Source A map, then travel only when the ship says ready.
The learning loop observes this simulation state only: probes, gates, signal, route, source link, map packet, and imprints. It does not prove real physics or read anything personal outside the sim.
The manifest export includes travelHistory and truthSummary. Travel history records holds, arrivals, returns, and safe-off parking. Truth summary separates confirmed simulation evidence from inferred vessel capability.
Trip Autopilot
Use RT for a safe round trip. It prepares probes, opens gates, locks a return imprint, travels to the selected destination, then returns to the starting location.
Safety States
Low navigation lock means the ship can form but not travel. Low stability means gates may shear, signal drift may occur, or an imprint may restore with morphology shift.
Probe / Imprint System
Probes sample the field. Imprints preserve successful states. Restoring an imprint recalls its morphology, signal, probes, and trace memory.
Operating Ritual
Use S to seed probes, A for analysis, D to decode, GATE to open gates, L to lock an imprint, and X to export the manifest.
Presets
Core isolates the eclipse. Lab reveals measurement. Extract activates the vessel. Poster presents the artifact.

Research Basis
Read this as a reverse-engineering worksheet. Real spacecraft are broken into power, structure, guidance/navigation/control, propulsion, communications, thermal control, and telemetry. The speculative parts below are marked as engine interpretations.
1. External Evidence
The artifact shows no cockpit, no windows, no exhaust, and no ordinary hull paneling. It shows a central power core, measurement rings, axes, probes, gates, decoder keys, and archived imprints. That means the first confirmed function is field control, not crew transport.
2. Subsystem Reverse Engineering
Power: dark eclipse core, corona bleed, pulse surge.
Structure: extracted ribs and morphing hull lattice.
Navigation: rings, axes, probes, signal key, nav lock.
Propulsion: not visible as thrust; inferred as field/gate motion.
Comms: spire broadcast, decoder key, signal telemetry.
Memory: imprints store return states and coordinates.
Identify the core as the only persistent energy source.
Read the rings as coordinate solvers, not decoration.
Use probes to sample the local field and raise nav confidence.
Decode the signal key from probe geometry and morphology.
Extract hull ribs only after the signal becomes ordered.
Compare vessel forms: Vase, Ark, Spire.
Open gates and watch whether Nav and Stable rise.
Lock an imprint before any travel attempt.
Select travel mode and verify gate behavior changes.
4. Capability Finding
Confirmed by interface: storage, signal decoding, gate regulation, state imprinting, and morphology change. Inferred by engineering model: travel becomes possible only when navigation and stability are high enough.
5. Travel Capability
Ark Transit: physical galaxy travel, slowest and safest.
Gate Slip: shortcut travel through stabilized gate geometry.
Spire Transmission: signal-body broadcast and reformation.
Imprint Return: recall travel to a saved state anchor.
Relativistic Drift: not yet confirmed; likely an Ark sub-state when charge, nav, and stability are all high.
6. Required Maps
Field Map: probe layout. Gate Map: four regulator strength. Origin Map: constellation/signature source. Transit Map: selected route. Imprint Map: saved return anchors. Time Drift Map: relative time offset.
7. Gate Compass Finding
The gate compass maps route classes to four directions: North for Source A and Origin Constellation, East for Star System and Remote Beacon, South for Return Anchor, and West for Local Orbit calibration.
The ship does not use Earth GPS. It uses a signal address: SOURCE-A / SIGNAL / CHARGE / ORDER / MODE / DESTINATION. This behaves like a digital compass coordinate.
8. Transit Readiness
Minimum launch condition: Nav >= 72, Stable >= 68, at least three probes, one locked imprint, destination selected, travel mode selected, and gates open. Below that, GO reports hold instead of arrival.
