| Maps are not so useful when the landscape keeps changing. I've needed to layer sticky notes over the districts just to keep up with all the permutations. It's as if the world is undergoing a massive trial and error event.
The more permutations I follow, the more sure I am the changes are not distributed across districts evenly. Nor are the changes of the same significance compared to one another; neither can I detect a pattern. Some changes are so inconsequential. I can spend decades searching the city and find no changes from any other permutation. Then I find a different set of tiles in a hospital ward, mere pointless cosmetics. What effect was planned for changing the tiles? In other permutations a whole city block becomes a forest. Or a sinkhole with a second world hidden within. Sometimes there's more than one distinct change.
I am lucky that time is repeatable for me. I have the time to look for these changes.
Here is a map of some districts across 100 permutations, marked by the number of changes for each district and the significance of the changes. Redder means more significant changes. Some districts with many changes may only be small ones; some districts with the few changes observed were very significant. Some permutations have more than one marked change, others only one.
