# HorizonReview

Keep at least one item beyond the immediate horizon in every planning cycle

Layer: Mind · Category: Strategy

## Mechanism

Each planning cycle reviews at least one item on the [Roadmap](https://mindscape.world/scapes/bootstrap/Roadmap.md) beyond the current horizon. If a plan has held only near-horizon items for a stated number of cycles, the contraction is recorded and the horizon is reconsidered.

## Invariants

- Each planning cycle reviews at least one item beyond the current horizon.
- A plan that has held only near-horizon items for the stated number of cycles is flagged.

## Failure modes

- Horizon collapse: urgent work crowds out everything distant.
- Distant theatre: long-range items are reviewed in name and never acted on.
