	2	+
	3	+Traversal defines the means through which the player explores the game world, and includes the mechanics and tools that allow the player to move from one point to another.
	4	+
	5	+== 0.1 - Disclaimer ==
	6	+
	7	+The terminology used in this document (e.g. "Rock Climbing") functions as a conceptual descriptor of how the player's movement is affected by specific mechanics rather than literal items or objects.
	8	+
	9	+== 0.2 - Design Philosophy ==
	10	+
	11	+Due to the high verticality of the game's level design, multiple vertical traversal mechanics are required to ensure fluid and engaging player movement. The goal is to combine these systems seamlessly, allowing the player to chain various traversal actions dynamically without breaking gameplay flow.
