Liminalia deaths and crimes diversify
liminalia
b891fc1 — death has more than one door, crime more than one shape.
Death was old age and only old age; illness was explicitly harmless and fire only destroyed buildings. Crime was theft, or arson when there was nothing to steal.
deaths
Untreated illness now kills after 72 simulated hours without a doctor — a city without doctors is a city with a body count. Citizens caught on a burning node when the building collapses die in the fire. The estate machinery is extracted into a shared Death.Settle used by all three causes: home and workplace released, household membership ended, estate to the household or escheat to the treasury. Death events carry a cause.
crimes
Burglary joins the escalation: a household homed at the node with nobody co-located to stop the burglar is robbed of a tenth of its savings, and a caught burglar's take is returned to the household. Vandalism is the floor of desperation — nothing to steal, nothing to burn, the node itself is damaged and the cleanup bill goes to the treasury. Crime records carry a kind.
The fire-death feature immediately caught the birth test's fixture: over a simulated decade a fire is near-certain, and without a firefighter the whole family died in it. The fixture now employs one.
Eight new tests, 328 total.
