A series of moments, experiences that are likely unique at least throughout their day, if not their lives.
Step 1: Gated Airlock
Airlocks can be implemented for enhanced security, controlling access to sensitive areas.
An airlock is a chamber or compartment, often with two airtight doors, designed to minimize the transfer of air or other substances between areas of differing pressure or cleanliness. It acts as a buffer zone, preventing contamination or pressure changes from disrupting the environment on either side of the airlock.
Key Moment: Seeing the first gate
After living there a while, recognizing the gate will trigger anticipation of the entire process, calming by seeing a familiar waypoint that leads home, FIND OUT what the chemical response is to knowing a secret, since they'll know the fence contains a secret--a door that doesn't look like a door.
Key Moment: Opening the first gate
Right from the very beginning, the experience of coming home to Cloud Nine is notably different.
The opposite of ostentatious gate, hidden in plain sight--easily looked over as just a fence, speakeasy door, non-standard key, 5' wide, power-assist.
Key Moment: Closing the first gate (Or hearing it close, with auto-opener) Neurochemical effect: Lower cortisol, decrease amygdala activity
Key Moment: Walking through the airlock
Key Moment: Opening the second gate Viewing the tableau from a private place of safety -- exposure to nature can decrease amygdala activity
Key Moment: Closing the second gate
Step 2: Winding Path
Key Moment: Building up to center
Key Moment: Multiple elements align
Key Moment: Viewing the Lunar Beacon

"Episodic memory involves the ability to learn, store, and retrieve information about unique personal experiences that occur in daily life." -- Dickerson B.C., Eichenbaum H. The Episodic Memory System: Neurocircuitry and Disorders. Neuropsychopharmacology. 2009;35:86–104. doi: 10.1038/npp.2009.126.
