Hostile Headspace

undefined:

A hostile headspace is a sentispace that is hostile to the beings that reside in it. It may do things such as creating natural disasters within headspace, collapsing structures while residents are in or around them, or rapidly changing the layout of headspace that can disorient or be dangerous to its residents.

The sentispace could be preventing access to the rest of the headspace. It can be purposefully attacking the residents or stopping exploration for the protection of the system. Reasons for preventing residents from exploring headspace may include preventing residents from finding traumatic memories within headspace, exploring too far out and thus getting lost, or finding dangerous or harmful headmates it had separated from the other headmates (acting in a similar role as an imprisoner).

Systems with a hostile headspace may have headmate(s) with roles similar to scouts where they’re one of the only ones that can explore headspace. Whether due to the sentispace not targeting them or them being able to avoid/withstand most dangers from the sentispace.
