The paper motivates the distinction between changing length and moving material through a structure. Three ribbons, integer units, linked groups, renewal quotas, synchronizers and all puzzle rules are original fictional simplifications. Renewal here counts units reeled, not physical flux velocity. This is not a scientific or medical simulator.
