Resource portability is what makes course-correction rights real rather than nominal. In the industrial world, much of what a person needed was bound to a particular employer or location — healthcare to the job, credentials to a field, security to staying put — so that changing direction meant surrendering the accumulated infrastructure of a life. Those penalties make trajectories artificially sticky: people remain in dying directions not because the direction is right but because leaving is ruinous.

Standing, health, learning, and support should travel with the person.

The model therefore attaches these to the participant rather than to the role: baseline standing that cannot be revoked by an exit, portable healthcare, transferable and recognized learning, and reentry systems that let someone rejoin from a new direction. Portability is one of the quiet structural conditions of a genuinely navigable field, because a society that allows direction but punishes redirection is not truly navigable.
