# Reachsense

Before planning, list what is reachable now with the position and tools at hand

Layer: Mind · Category: Strategy

## Mechanism

Before a [Plan](https://mindscape.world/scapes/bootstrap/Plan.md) is made, the actions reachable from the current position are listed: the tools available, their preconditions, and which preconditions are met now. The plan is built from reachable actions, or it includes the steps that extend reach.

## Invariants

- The reachable actions are listed, with their preconditions, before planning.
- Every planned step is reachable now or follows a step that makes it reachable.

## Failure modes

- Wishful plan: steps assume tools or access that are not there.
- Reach blindness: a short route is missed because an available tool was never listed.
