re: the archive.pak+entry dictionary is 20 keys and misses the 2D blocker entirely

Browse Source 
A path that names its own archive is a free name->key fact, since a pak TOC holds
only hashes. Swept them disc-wide and aimed the result at the 2D /
GP_READY_ROOM blocker.

Seven fields carry a game: value - BackGroundPackage 18, StageResourcePackage 23,
TBL_3D 6, LodEnumTable 7, MotionEnumTable 7, one PATH, one anonymous - giving 63
distinct paths in two forms: 42 file-form (41 present on the extracted ISO, the
single miss being the bare directory game:\hidden\Resource3D\, which is not a
file) and 21 archive+entry (20 of 20 resolve inside the archive they name; the
21st is sound.pak+ with an empty entry).

The blocker test is a measured zero. The six 2D paks and GP_READY_ROOM hold 1817
distinct keys between them and NONE is named by a + path. The dictionary's total
reach is 20 of 16630 keys, 0.12%, and every one lands in DefTables or
GP_HANGAR_ARSENAL - archives that are already partly named.

The route is exhausted rather than unlucky: these paths exist only in the seven
fields above, and none of those fields ever addresses a 2D or ready-room asset.
The blocker keeps its earlier structural reason (six identical 711-key TOCs, 0 of
711 shared with any other archive).

The full dictionary is recorded: 6 x <lang>\GP_HANGAR_ARSENAL_3D.tbl in
GP_HANGAR_ARSENAL.pak, and EnumGameModel_* plus EnumLODSet_* for S24, S26, S27,
S28, S29, Tutorial and test in DefTables.pak.

Left unexplained: both DefTables families are seven names with S25 absent and no
story stage present at all.

All fifteen artefacts byte-identical.

* Why `DefTables` (8.9 %) and `GP_HANGAR_ARSENAL` (22.6 %) sit in the middle;
probably just that most of their entries are tables referenced by records this
harvest does not treat as filenames. Not chased.
## ❌ The `archive.pak+entry` dictionary does not touch the 2D blocker — 0 of 1 817
`StageResource` turned up a path form that names an archive *and* an entry
inside it ([[stage-definition-table]]). Since a pak TOC holds only hashes, any
such path is a **free name→key fact**, so it is worth asking whether the disc
carries enough of them to crack the two blocked archives.
Swept disc-wide, **7 fields** carry a `game:` value — `BackGroundPackage` (18),
`StageResourcePackage` (23), `TBL_3D` (6), `LodEnumTable` (7),
`MotionEnumTable` (7), plus one `PATH` and one anonymous. That is **63 distinct
paths in two forms**:
* **file form, 42** — 41 exist on the extracted ISO; the one miss is the bare
directory `game:\hidden\Resource3D\`, which is not a file.
* **`archive+entry` form, 21** — **20 of 20** resolve inside the archive they
name (the 21st is `sound.pak+` with an empty entry).
🔑 **The whole dictionary is 20 keys**, and here it is in full:
| archive | entry |
|---|---|
| `GP_HANGAR_ARSENAL.pak` | `deu\`, `eng\`, `esp\`, `fra\`, `ita\`, `jpn\` + `GP_HANGAR_ARSENAL_3D.tbl` |
| `DefTables.pak` | `EnumGameModel_{S24,S26,S27,S28,S29,Tutorial,test}.tbl` |
| `DefTables.pak` | `EnumLODSet_{S24,S26,S27,S28,S29,Tutorial,test}.tbl` |
❌ **The blocker test is a measured zero.** The six 2D paks and `GP_READY_ROOM`
hold **1 817** distinct keys between them; **0** are named by any `+` path. The
dictionary's total reach is **20 of 16 630 keys (0.12 %)**, and every one lands
in `DefTables` or `GP_HANGAR_ARSENAL` — archives that are already partly named.
**The route is exhausted, not merely unlucky**: these paths exist only in the
seven fields above, and none of those fields ever addresses a 2D or ready-room
asset. The blocker stands on its earlier structural reason (six identical 711-key
TOCs, 0 of 711 shared with any other archive).
❔ **One asymmetry left unexplained**: both `DefTables` families list
`S24, S26, S27, S28, S29, Tutorial, test` — **seven each, with S25 absent** and
no story stage present at all. Whether the other stages' `EnumLODSet` tables are
referenced by a bare name elsewhere, or simply not referenced by path, is not
settled here.
