Surveillance, Detection, and Counter-Surveillance

Surveillance is represented as pattern recognition, route pressure, environmental observation, and exposure management within fictional game spaces.

Normative requirements

What conforming mission design must express.

01
MUST required for conformance

Keep public documentation at fictional, abstract, game-system level and avoid practical real-world targeting instructions.

02
MUST required for conformance

Represent surveillance through observable game patterns, uncertainty, and resource trade-offs.

03
SHOULD recommended unless a documented reason applies

Provide more than one response to suspected surveillance, including delay, route change, abort, decoy, or controlled exposure.

04
MAY optional supported behavior

Use accessibility settings to surface patterns through visual, audio, or interface cues.
