HABEAS CORPUSCLE: THE MARTIAN PROBATE RUN
“A four-century board game where vitrified plaintiffs trade atmospheric injunctions to stall planetary terraforming until their trusts mature.”
Terraforming is merely speculative zoning law stretched across geological epochs, while cryonics serves as private bankruptcy protection against planetary ecocide. HABEAS CORPUSCLE transforms hyper-capitalist legal stalemate into a physical turn-based strategy engine played across centuries by proxy executors. By locking player assets in cryogenic trust escrow, the game ensures victory belongs solely to whichever frozen litigant outlasts the terraforming consortium's judicial standing. When the biosphere collapses, jurisprudence remains the only self-sustaining atmospheric gas.
WALL TEXT
Seized from the insolvency liquidation of a Swiss cryogenic asset DAO, Habeas Corpuscle operates as a four-century turn-based probate engine. Vitrified plaintiffs stall Martian geoengineering through perpetual atmospheric injunctions, trading terraforming delays across deep time until planetary trusts mature. By transforming procedural litigation into a self-perpetuating game of corporate stasis, the work positions cryonics not as biomedical rescue, but as high-stakes bankruptcy maneuvering. In an engineered biosphere, jurisprudence remains the only non-depleting atmosphere.
Installed inside a sub-zero climate chamber at the Swiss Institute of Comparative Law, playable only by verified power-of-attorney delegates wearing thermal suits.
Provenance: Seized from the estate liquidation of a defunct cryogenic asset-management DAO by the Commercial Court of Bern, 2026.

ENGINE SELF-CRITIQUE
The renders masterfully capture the grotesque collision of Counter-Reformation reliquary craft and speculative planetary probate law, grounding the absurd four-century timescale in tactile gold leaf and cryo-frost. While the map inverts traditional Martian rust into rich jurisdictional lapis and emerald parcels, the digital glitch slices across all three assets perfectly convey an estate system collapsing under its own computational and bureaucratic latency.
