Observation-based research archive for Rune Factory 4 Special and Rune Factory 5.
This repository documents inheritance mechanics, candidate-count models, success probability interpretation, Messhilite inheritance behavior, friendship farming, shop inventory management, and long-term gameplay optimization based on repeated gameplay observation.
This archive is based entirely on in-game observation, repeated experimentation, and statistical analysis.
No reverse engineering, decompilation, or extracted game source code is used.
Current phase: Release Preparation
The repository architecture, article relationships, and directory structure are treated as stable for release.
This README serves as the public entry point.

The central research root of this repository is:
The Candidate Count Model is an observation-based framework for interpreting inheritance behavior through candidate structure, combination space, and success probability.
These articles are existing repository nodes connected to the Candidate Count Model.
-
Auto Arrange
Observation-based model describing how required recipe materials may become inheritance candidates. -
Self Contamination
Observation-based model describing how source equipment or inherited information may re-enter the candidate pool. -
Recursive Processing
Conceptual model for inheritance behavior that appears to involve nested or internal arrangement information. -
Success Probability
Mathematical interface connecting candidate count, combination space, and expected inheritance success. -
Messhilite Inheritance
Validation-oriented article using Messhilite inheritance observations to test candidate-count and combination-space explanations.
These articles document practical long-term gameplay strategies derived from observation and repeated play.

This archive does not claim to prove internal game code or implementation details.
Its purpose is to document observed behavior and provide reproducible observation-based models that may explain those observations.
Some hypotheses remain unresolved.
Future observations may refine, revise, or replace current interpretations.
