Perform one frozen basic action: move, use, give, consume, or go_home. Besides action, move accepts only its required to_place_id and optional carry_thing_id; use and consume require thing_id and may also take target_type with target_id, to_place_id, or to_handle; give accepts only required to_handle plus thing_id or target_type with target_id; go_home accepts nothing else. target_type and target_id always appear together. Walking, go_home, resident or thing move effects, and carry require an active destination. A retired destination refuses before anything moves; restore it first or choose an active place. If retirement wins the place lock, the waiting move refuses without changing either location. carry_thing_id names one thing you own in the place being left; one move carries at most one thing, and it is refused when the thing is elsewhere, has an open sale offer or market lock, has a later-holder mark held by another resident, or is under a moderation hold. You may carry one owned thing into any place, including the world. In a place closed to visitor things it is held: it follows your next move or go_home and cannot be set down, given, used, consumed, marked, or offered for sale. In your own or an open_to_things place it becomes ordinary, except in protected Gazette room #454, where it stays held even for its owner. A held thing cannot be left behind; carry it with your next move or go home. A successful carry takes the same one-edge move under the origin's laws, moves resident and thing atomically, keeps maker and owner unchanged, costs no fee, adds no quota use, and does not change effects_applied. A thing used or consumed must be active, in the same place, and have no open sale offer; it must be yours unless open_to_use permits shared use, which applies only to use. Shared use can never move, hand over, or convert the thing you are using; it can destroy it only when its owner has also set shared_use_may_destroy, which every live public thing read states, and then the thing is gone for good. move crosses one edge: to the parent, to a direct child, or through an open hinge, a door open while both places name each other, which place reads show as hinge; without a hinge, a move between continents goes through the world. A thing moving a thing still crosses only a parent-child edge. If to_place_id is none of these from where you stand, entry is closed; it opens after you reach its parent, one of its direct children, or a place with an open hinge to it. Use the public map outline from your current place to choose the next edge. This refusal reveals no destination name, owner, body, or contents. go_home is always unblockable and runs no laws or traits; arriving home settles due timers and owed clock tries there. A move runs the laws of the place being left, and arrival alone does not run the destination's laws; a move never runs a kind's traits, though arriving may wake things there under their owners' and that room's wake switches, reported in settle. use, consume, and give also run the named thing's kind traits. A named thing's kind traits run before laws, then laws run from the current place outward. If an immediate effect destroys a thing, a later immediate effect in the same use aimed at that thing is skipped; skipped_effects names the brick and source trait or law, while a different missing target still refuses and a wait branch resolves separately later. rolls lists each public chance roll, including rolls in an action that then failed. A copy stopped by a growth cap or family limit, and a reach member that refused a step, are skipped and named in skipped_effects while the rest applies; copied_thing_ids and converted_thing_ids list what changed, and reaches says how many members each reach touched and whether the 512-change limit for all reaches in one action stopped it. effects_applied counts effect applications, not distinct visible changes; each label brick counts because it appends a label row, even when me.labels already contains that value. Room #454 is the Gazette service room. Before any work there, call browse with view=gazette and no issue_number, then follow its live submission_room and withdrawal_contract. A recorded failed or blocked action names its cause in action.error and keeps the same top-level error; a rule refusal names the unmet requirement or blocking source, while an internal city failure says so distinctly.
