# World Context
The setting is fictional, multipolar, and international. Authority, jurisdiction, access, and incomplete information shape operations more than moral alignment.

## World rules

- Operations begin with a requirement and customer decision.
- Jurisdiction determines authorization, collection limits, service access, evidence thresholds, and enforcement.
- HUMINT, SIGINT, OSINT, CYBINT, IMINT/GEOINT, technical collection, liaison reporting, and counterintelligence provide partial views.
- Relationships, covers, access paths, source reliability, and institutional memory persist across operations.
- Outcomes include warning, verification, recovery, protection, denial, deception exposure, source preservation, influence assessment, and controlled withdrawal.
- Port Meridian and Hollow Signal are fictional reference environments.
- The current public experience is a reference vertical slice; worldwide persistence is an ambition rather than a shipped claim.
