# Snitch 'n Snatch: Don't Get Wacked
**Terminal Designation:** S.C.T. Model-71 Operational Field Manual  
**Setting:** East Yorkshire Underground Coal Warren (January 1971)  
**Objective:** Maintain sovereign tunnel operations against automated corporate NCB probes without triggering auditory or pneumatic detection.

## 1. Operating Rules & Cognitive Cadence

1. **The 45-Second Invariant Turn Loop:**
   - **Phase 1 (Intercept):** Listen to subterranean acoustic taps fading in over 10 seconds.
   - **Phase 2 (Audit):** Examine National Coal Board (NCB) extraction warrants for forged administrative stamps or semantic contradictions.
   - **Phase 3 (Triangulate):** Calculate probe distance using seismic geophone intervals ($d = v_{\text{strata}} \times \Delta t$) without looking at any 2D map.
   - **Phase 4 (Balance):** Regulate pneumatic air-dams to dissipate accumulated mine gas while maintaining pressure.
   - **Phase 5 (Emboss):** Depress `[SPACEBAR]` to lock calculations and cycle state.

2. **10/10 Motor Sparing:**
   - Take unlimited time during each phase. The world simulation clock is paused during evaluation. Speed of button-pressing grants zero bonus.
