## Update check after every skeleton or chapter rewrite After every Part 7 chapter skeleton or prose change, update here: * Chapter summary. * Continuity sequence. * Objects and motifs. * Injuries and medical continuity. * What each character knows. * Word count if prose exists and changed. * What is locked for the f
## Revision holding notes These notes preserve useful older planning without treating them as a dated update stack. They should be placed inside the relevant chapter entries during the new skeleton pass.
### Community-gap planning lock For every Part 7 plan, check what community gap is now taking shape. The original core is not enough by itself for a large city, so the part must show how new and old characters complete a system. Every chapter must ask: * Who holds civil politics and boundaries, not only combat? * Wh
# part7_chapter_logic_map Chapter logic map for Part 7, **The City Chooses Life**, chapters 182-212.
## How to use this logic map 1. This file holds chapter logic, not prose. 2. `chapters_summaries.md` remains the short chapter-summary index. 3. `worklist_by_parts_part7.md` holds the broader part engine and extended planning layer. 4. This map holds, for every chapter: physical frame, knowledge, continuity, objects,
## Part overview Part 7 is not a long epilogue. The city already exists, and now it has to choose what kind of life it wants. The central conflict is values, not another base-in-danger plot. The question is whether a city strong enough to close its gates still chooses to open them.
## Timeline Roughly month 65 to month 83 after Day Zero.
## Opening physical state * The city exists and functions after the Part 6 transformation. * The gate system, clinics, stores, docks, school, farm, faith/culture spaces, and rescue convoys are active or becoming formal. * The core characters are no longer only surviving on the road. They are now maintaining institutio
## Ending physical state * The city is alive. * The river is open. * The farm works. * Rescue convoys keep leaving. * The main saga closes with the understanding that they did not only survive, they built a world. * A separate future epilogue may exist, but long time jumps belong there, not inside Part 7.
## Arc blocks | Chapters | Block | Function | |---|---|---| | 182-185 | Root / Shaw | Practicality, dangerous morality, shortcuts, and the first values test of a mature city. | | 186-189 | Catra / Adora | Emotional fire, damage, force, animals/defense, and the question of whether the city can hold people with destruct
## Global constraints * The four core couples remain the emotional center: Clexa, Ronance, SwanQueen, and Vauseman. * Side couples and later arrivals expand the city, but they must not steal the structural center. * Do not write future-summary language inside scenes. * Do not explain to the reader what can be shown th
## Active contradiction to resolve during skeleton pass The older chapter logic map placed a Caskett-road summary under Chapter 212. The Part 7 worklist and broader arc structure define Chapter 212 as the main-saga close. Treat the Caskett-road note as a misplaced older leftover until resolved in the new skeleton pass
## Living People, Rescue Roads, and Moving Vehicles Logic Part 7 civic logic depends on a world where living people still move beyond the city. Continuity requirements: * Rescue convoys, returning families, values crises and new arrivals must come from living routes, not blank geography. * Roads, rivers, farms, gate
## Standalone Entrance and Values-Test Logic Part 7 skeletons must make each arrival serve the city's values test through a lived pre-contact or contact arc. Continuity requirements: * Root/Shaw, Catra/Adora, Veronica/Logan, Matt/Julie, and later arrivals must not be inserted only as names or trope packages. * Each
