ANALYTICAL FRAMEWORK ARCHITECTURE
PEI → E² → MPM → EMSQT
PEI supplies expert system interpretation; E² retains five time-windowed observations; MPM carries the source report's MDML 4.0 diagnostic landscape without renaming its values; EMSQT converts evidence into structure, qualification and a reversible direction.
Interpret play before formalizing evidence
Establishes the system context, player task logic, and expert reading required to distinguish designed friction from a decision-relevant failure.
Register experience across time
Structures direct observation into time-windowed evidence, tracking friction, passage quality, and changes in the governing value contract.
Measure perception without flattening variance
Separates modeled value, dispersion, and validation pressure. Every reading remains governed by evidence grade, variance, and its declared confirmation boundary.
Convert evidence into decision architecture
Progresses from evidence and evaluation through structure, diagnosis, and strategy while preserving the authority and boundary of every stage.
FULL METHODOLOGY DISCLOSURE

MapleStory: Idle RPG makes automatic growth immediately legible through Guide Quest, unlock progression and Chapter Idle Hunting. The primary evidence candidate appears from 6–20h, when Daily Growth Dungeons and Offline / Sleep Rewards caps may change voluntary return into preventable-loss management, then carry trust pressure into probabilistic growth, competition and LiveOps.
The public E derivative preserves chronology, exact system context and independent value purposes. It records observed value, pressure and confirmation coordinates without converting the evidence into a causal claim or a design prescription.

PEI × E² EVIDENCE AUTHORITY
Observe the value inversion without manufacturing its impact
Expert interpretation fixes the task and system context; E² fixes when the meaning of the same system changes.
Read one idle-growth contract
CONTEXTAutomatic combat, resource receipt, build investment, competition and LiveOps are interpreted as connected scenes rather than isolated screens.
Retain the transition point
OBSERVEFive windows prevent an early promise, a midgame cap and a late schedule from becoming one averaged opinion.
Coordinates are not outcomes
BOUNDARYEntry, cap arrival, claim timing, re-entry and later return identify what client logs can confirm; they do not establish effect size.
FIVE EXPERIENCE WINDOWS
The return contract changes across the first 100 hours
Each interval retains the dominant value question and the systems that carry it.
- 0–1hRule and first value
Guide Quest, unlocks and Chapter Idle Hunting establish automatic growth while the first package, summon and skill-order surfaces open.
ORIENTATION→ - 1–6hCompetence and configuration
Skill Order, presets, summons, ad removal and membership add setup and convenience judgment to the idle promise.
FORMATION→ - 6–20hCap-routed return
Daily Growth Dungeons tickets and Offline / Sleep Rewards caps create cadence and may make missed value feel like avoidable loss.
PRIMARY CANDIDATE→ - 20–60hProbability and competitive trust
Weapon and Companion Summon, Ability, Potential, Arena, Colosseum and Red Diamond Refill combine completion, fairness and payment judgment.
TRUST TRANSFER→ - 60–100hLong-run operating contract
Guild competition, PC login, Hot Time, battle pass and event exchange overlap on schedule, scope and reward interpretation.
LIVEOPS DENSITY
SIX INDEPENDENT VALUE CONTRACTS
The same cap or offer can mean a different loss
The six lenses remain separate through handoff; no purchase or return behavior stands in for all purposes.
Meaningful continuation without purchase
Caps and offers are tested against whether free tickets, event exchange and core hunting still form a viable route.
Comparable rules and explainable results
Arena refresh, Red Diamond use, Colosseum timing and settlement must make preparation and outcome interpretable.
Calculable time and resource use
Caps, presets and fixed windows should support planning without making optimal play a calendar obligation.
Collection and build closure
Summon, Ability and Potential require a readable safeguard, duplicate value and distance to the next complete state.
Credible post-purchase relief
Membership, pass and ad removal must state what behavior changes, what remains and how the benefit is received.
Durable proof of progression
Competitive and guild outcomes should preserve earned recognition without making expenditure the only interpretable route.
EVIDENCE-TO-DECISION BOARD
Protect, qualify and confirm separate objects
A public expert record keeps guarded value and open evidence on the same page.
Automatic growth and free continuation
GUARDEDProtect the compact hunt-to-power loop and a meaningful non-purchase route.
Explicit event reward targets
GUARDEDClear exchange goals can strengthen voluntary return without increasing schedule pressure.
Cap-routed return
OPENTreat loss-avoidance management as a conditional bottleneck until behavior closes it.
Convenience after purchase
OPENCompare pre/post action, mail receipt, routine time and later return rather than offer exposure.
Probability and safeguard trust
OPENUse information dwell, pre-purchase exit, duplicate outcome and later completion behavior.
Competition, guild and high-value status
MONITORRead segment-specific fairness, contribution and status without inferring value from spend alone.
Preserve voluntary growth and keep the bottleneck conditional
E establishes a strong idle-growth asset and a time-specific pressure candidate. Downstream stages may qualify the decision object, but client-source behavior is still required for exact magnitude and priority.
The accepted source uses an initial 100h direct-observation frame across six value-contract lenses. This does not identify an external respondent sample, justify a 600h aggregate claim or establish market prevalence. System rules and operating details remain baseline-bound.

MDML 4.0 READING ORDER
Measure perceived value without turning the model into a user claim
Provider and Customer fields are interpreted through three investment capitals and a cross-cutting trust gate.
Locate the landscape
Domain and field means show where accepted value and validation pressure sit relative to this report baseline.
Retain disagreement
Standard deviation and range prevent one average from hiding different value-contract responses.
Keep the six lenses visible
Fairness, efficiency, completion, free path, convenience and status can read the same system differently.
Gate all three capitals
Trust amplifies, holds or blocks time, money and passion; it is not a fourth capital or a replacement score.
SIX-DOMAIN LANDSCAPE
Needs value leads; passion trust remains the floor
Domain means are orientation coordinates and must not be presented as market performance.
Core
59.04Graphic and mechanics support the first value baseline while character attachment is comparatively weaker.
System
60.23Growth and structural provision form the strongest Provider-side cluster.
Operation
54.41Probability, store and event surfaces carry more interpretation pressure than the core system.
Experience / Time
59.79Satisfaction is strong while practical and emotional relief remain less secure.
Needs / Money
63.01Growth, ownership and recognition create the strongest domain-level reinvestment value.
Engagement / Passion
51.41Fairness, stability and consistency define the lowest long-run trust floor.
18-FIELD PANORAMA
Accepted value and validation pressure in one structured view
Higher fields identify value to protect. Lower fields identify questions to validate, not proven failure.
Character
51.72Attachment is comparatively lower than visual-mechanical appeal.
Graphic
62.96Visual presentation supports immediate readability and expression.
Mechanics
62.43The short idle-growth circuit is a strong system asset.
Growth Provision
62.43Progression structure makes power and the next gate visible.
Economy
55.82Resource supplementation and pressure require separate interpretation.
Structure
62.43Multiple modes reinforce one core but also increase rule density.
Probability
56.61Summon and completion value depends on information and safeguards.
Store
56.61Convenience and price need a legible before-and-after contract.
Event
50.00Return value coexists with rule and schedule burden.
Enjoyment
58.99Short progression and immediate feedback support repeat enjoyment.
Satisfaction
65.61Achievement and visible growth form the strongest field-level signal.
Practical Benefit
54.76Convenience claims require post-use behavioral confirmation.
Possession
63.10Collection and customization create durable account value.
Competition
61.64Recognition provides value while fairness and settlement remain gates.
Growth Need
64.29The next progression state is a strong reason for continued investment.
Fairness
51.32Rule legitimacy and comparable competition require confirmation.
Stability
48.94Balance, recovery and long-run predictability form the lowest field.
Consistency
53.97Continuity is present but depends on reliable operation.
EIGHT VALUE-DIVERGENCE OBJECTS
Every accepted value carries a reinvestment boundary
The objects translate structured assessment into bounded confirmation questions.
Progress versus management labor
Confirm whether caps preserve rhythm or make return primarily about avoiding unrecovered loss.
Acceleration versus value interpretation
Confirm price, benefit, scope, receipt and the actual post-use difference.
Collection versus probability trust
Confirm information, safeguards, duplicates and distance to completion.
Return value versus calendar burden
Confirm event type, window, exchange rules and voluntary re-entry.
Convenience versus scope trust
Confirm multiplier, inclusion, correction and claim history.
Recognition versus fairness
Confirm matching, settlement and reward comparison before reading rank as passion.
Connection versus efficiency obligation
Confirm whether contribution remains voluntary social value.
Relief versus exposure pressure
Confirm reasonableness, exposure density and operating predictability.
TIME · MONEY · PASSION
Three investments move through different trust gates
A strong average in one capital cannot substitute for another.
Growth and routine
Time continues when progression is visible and return remains voluntary rather than a cap-recovery task.
Ownership and purchase
Money continues when price, probability, benefit range and post-use value form one credible contract.
Recognition and cooperation
Passion continues when fairness, settlement and social contribution remain understandable and autonomous.
Protect accepted value; validate every reinvestment gate
MDML 4.0 identifies a strong growth and ownership field beside weaker operating trust. The report does not convert those coordinates into population claims or predicted business outcomes.
MDML 4.0 values are structured assessment outputs, not external respondent data, telemetry, market statistics, causal estimates or forecasts. Element ranks and persona differences identify diagnostic pressure only; exact scale and priority require comparable client-source evidence.

IDLE CORE AND EFFICIENCY-RETURN SYSTEM REPORT

Chapter Idle Hunting forms a compact progression circuit in which basic resources become growth investment, power, the next gate and higher core efficiency. Dungeons, bosses, parties, presets, competition, commerce, offline rewards and LiveOps all reinforce that circuit while adding tickets, caps, settlement, probability and schedule rules.
S preserves the short idle-growth asset and maps the support loops that return value to it. Transfer tensions remain structural candidates until Q qualifies the core diagnosis.

- 01Chapter Idle Hunting
Automatic combat produces the recurring baseline of currency and experience.
CORE INPUT→ - 02Basic resources
Accumulated currency and experience make the next investment possible.

The improved character returns to idle hunting with greater output.
RETURN
FIVE SUPPORT LOOPS
Different systems reinforce the same core through different contracts
Shared output does not erase separate rule ownership.
Competition and cooperation
Rank, victory and contribution return as buffs, cubes, coins and further growth.
Configuration switching
Saved setups reduce mode-switching friction while increasing checklist density.
Summon, store and exchange
Growth bottlenecks meet probability, offers, boosters and event exchange.
Non-play becomes growth
Offline rewards and dungeon tickets support re-entry while defining collection moments.
Periodic goals and schedules
Hot Time, PC login, battle pass and events add time-bound reasons to return.
STRUCTURAL TRANSFER REGISTER
Five questions move to diagnosis
These questions locate possible transfer cost; they do not establish cause or priority.
Cadence or management labor?
Determine whether capped or expiring value changes the reason to return.
Collection or deferred completion?
Determine whether information and safeguards preserve the next complete state.
Mastery or cumulative advantage?
Determine whether refill and settlement rules remain fair and explainable.
Convenience or interpreted pressure?
Determine whether the offer produces a measurable post-use difference.
Voluntary return or calendar compliance?
Determine whether fixed windows and exchange limits preserve choice.
Protect the compact core; qualify the cost of its attachments
The structure is a map of value and transfer pressure. Q must determine whether combined cap and schedule rules materially invert voluntary return.
S is a structural map, not a causal diagnosis, implementation priority or impact estimate. The support-loop count and ordering do not imply business importance.
QQ · CORE DIAGNOSIS · AUTHORITATIVE NATIVE REPORT · 2026-04-30AVAILABLE
CAP-ROUTED RETURN DIAGNOSIS
qualified value inversion · five transfer paths · protected idle-growth contract
The qualified core diagnosis is that ticket, cap and offline-reward cadence can convert voluntary re-entry into preventable-loss management. Evidence converges across experience, perceived value and structure, while exact magnitude, segment intensity and business relevance remain open to client-source confirmation.
Q locks the decision object rather than an effect size. Fixed windows, limited exchange, growth sinks, probabilistic safeguards and pass scope are transfer paths from the same recoverability contract.

OPEN
FIVE CONNECTED TRANSFERS
One diagnosis, multiple rule owners
Each path remains separately verifiable and separately changeable.
PC login and Hot Time
A useful schedule becomes pressure when participation or recovery is inaccessible.
Inventory and deadline
A reward goal becomes unfinished obligation when stock, priority and substitution are unclear.
Multiple resource demands
Progression becomes repair cost when the next meaningful state and route are disconnected.
Safeguard and duplicates
Collection weakens when protection and duplicate value do not reveal completion distance.
Inclusion and receipt
Convenience becomes regret when scope and correction cannot be judged before purchase.
PROTECTION & CONFIRMATION
Keep the diagnosis falsifiable and value-safe
Every diagnostic lock carries a protection contract and an open-evidence register.
Automatic growth and offline recovery
Do not remove the accessible progression identity while addressing schedule pressure.
Free path and voluntary time
Do not replace one obligation with paid recovery or stronger FOMO.
Scarcity and completion
Do not flatten limited reward value, collection meaning or economy stability.
Entry, cap and return behavior
Compare cap state, collection timing, routine completion, abandonment and later return.
Unmeasured impact claims
Do not claim retention, churn, revenue or causal effect from the diagnostic record.
Lock the decision object; keep impact open
The diagnosis is sufficient to define a conservative direction and confirmation plan. It is not implementation approval or a forecast.
Diagnostic qualification identifies a decision object and protection contract. It does not establish causal effect size, authorize production changes or support retention, churn, conversion, revenue or market-representative claims.

SHARED STATE-AND-RECOVERY GRAMMAR
Explain state, consequence and continuation in one reading order
A shared grammar does not merge rules or ownership; it makes separate systems consistently interpretable.
- STATEName the current condition
Distinguish active, approaching cap, capped, missed, claimable and recoverable.
→ - CONSEQUENCEExplain what changes
Show time, inventory, safeguard or benefit consequence without exaggerating loss.
→ - CONTINUATIONExpose the next viable passage
Connect claim, limited recovery, milestone, alternative or defer path.
→ - OWNERSHIPRetain the original rule owner
Dungeon, offline reward, event, summon and pass remain separately governed.
→ - CONFIRMATIONMeasure interpretation and action
Check comprehension, selection, completion and later return rather than click volume alone.
SIX SEPARABLE WORKSTREAMS
One decision language, six independent interventions
Each stream can be tested, held or rolled back without forcing the others.
Cap, overflow and receipt
VALIDATESeparate cap arrival, overflow state and pending receipt, then connect each to its valid next action.
PC login and Hot Time access
VALIDATESeparate notice, activation and limited recovery so schedule value does not require exact-time compliance.
Stock, priority and substitution
VALIDATEShow limited inventory, scarcity rationale and alternate claim possibilities before deadline.
Blocked state to next milestone
VALIDATEConnect constrained resources and limited recovery to meaningful progression without store pressure.
Protection and duplicate state
VALIDATEShow probability information, protection progress, duplicate value and carryover before commitment.
Pass application before purchase
VALIDATEExpose inclusion, exclusion, receipt, correction and claim route as a scope contract.
VALIDATION & ROLLBACK CONTRACT
A direction remains conditional until it survives its protection tests
Conservative design still needs stop rules and non-claiming interpretation.
Comprehension and voluntary selection
Compare state recognition, chosen path, completion and later return across equivalent conditions.
Free path and scarcity
Check whether recovery narrows non-purchase play or devalues limited reward and completion meaning.
Economic stability
Check whether recovery changes long-run resource pressure or expected purchase routes.
New obligation or opaque exception
Stop if the stream creates another checklist, alert dependency, paid-recovery expectation or hidden exception.
No forecast from explanation
Do not turn improved comprehension or early behavior into retention, conversion or revenue impact.
Build recovery continuity, not a larger reward machine
The direction preserves the idle-growth identity by making limit systems easier to understand, defer and recover from. Every workstream remains conditional on evidence, protection and rollback.
This report defines a bounded direction, confirmation plan and rollback contract. It does not authorize production changes, guarantee performance or establish retention, churn, conversion, revenue or market effects.
