* if it is not the final component, whether it produces a meaningful output capable of advancing the chain. |
* Necessary passive auxiliary structures are allowed, but auxiliary structures that artificially reduce the difficulty of achieving the intended mechanical behavior should be penalized. For example, adding side walls to a ramp solely to prevent the ball from falling off simplifies the required mechanical construction. |
Different mechanical implementations are acceptable as long as the component preserves its definition and core mechanical function. |
### Domino Chain |
A Domino Chain should exhibit genuine sequential propagation: |
Incoming Object β First Domino β Second Domino β ... β Final Domino |
The incoming object should primarily trigger the first domino. Each subsequent domino should primarily fall because of the preceding domino. |
Penalize direct triggering of multiple dominoes, group/simultaneous falling, independent downstream toppling, or final states inconsistent with sequential propagation. |
Do not judge the Domino Chain only by whether all dominoes eventually fall. |

## B. CAUSAL CONNECTIVITY |
For every `A β B` segment, determine whether A genuinely and mechanically triggers B. |
A valid transition should show: |
A produces mechanical output |
β the output physically reaches and acts on B |
β B responds because of that interaction. |
Check: |
* whether A's output can physically reach B; |
* whether the contact, collision, release, catching, or transmission is visible and plausible; |
* whether B responds after and because of A's action; |
* whether positions, directions, distances, and motion magnitudes support the interaction; |
* whether the interaction avoids unexplained remote triggering, teleportation, interpenetration, premature triggering, or implausible energy transfer. |
Temporal order alone is not sufficient evidence of causality. |
As an auxiliary test, ask: |
**Would B still execute in essentially the same way without A's mechanical action?** |
If yes, A may have been bypassed and the segment score should be reduced. |
The complete system should form one continuous chain in which all required components and balls genuinely participate. Required components must not be decorative, isolated, independently activated, or bypassed. |

## C. CAUSAL CHAIN BREAK RULE |
If the causal chain fails at a segment: |
1. Score the failing segment according to the degree of successful interaction and target-component execution actually observed. |
2. If the failure prevents mechanical propagation from reaching downstream components, **all subsequent segments must receive 0**. |
3. Later independent motion of downstream components cannot restore their scores. |
For example: |
C1 β C2 β C3 β C4 |
If C1 and C2 execute correctly but C2 fails to successfully trigger C3: |
* `initial β C1`: score normally |
* `C1 β C2`: score normally |
* `C2 β C3`: reduced score according to observed partial success |
* `C3 β C4`: 0 |
Only components reached through continuous mechanical propagation from `initial` are eligible for non-zero downstream segment scores. |
--- |
## D. SEGMENT SCORING |
For `initial β A`, evaluate A's execution. |
For `A β B`, jointly evaluate AβB causal interaction and B's execution. |
* **9β10:** Correct, complete, and mechanically plausible interaction/execution with negligible issues. |
* **7β8:** Overall correct with a few non-critical issues. |
* **5β6:** Effective propagation and execution occur, but with significant mechanical, causal, or completeness issues. |
* **3β4:** Only partial propagation or execution succeeds; major problems are present. |
* **1β2:** Minimal valid propagation or execution is present; the segment largely fails. |
* **0:** No meaningful valid propagation or target-component execution occurs, or the segment is unreachable because the causal chain has already broken. |
================================================== |
GENERAL PRINCIPLES |
================================================== |
* There is no single correct mechanical implementation. |
* Every required component must be instantiated and genuinely participate. |
* Every required ball must genuinely participate in the overall causal chain. |
* Different balls may take over propagation only through visible and credible physical interaction. |
* Passive auxiliary structures are allowed, but additional functional components must not replace or bypass required components. |
* Do not infer causality from temporal order alone. |
* Do not ignore intermediate failures merely because the final state appears correct. |
* Once the continuous causal chain breaks, later independent motion cannot restore downstream segment scores. |
