Predict the next void

A simple points system, learned from the stories behind today's voids. Flip a factor and watch the math.
How the odds are calculated
start −2.2 +1.4 dispute +0.9 flood +0.7 shops +0.5 access +0.6 neighbours +0.8 waste =−2.2 pts
fewer pts more pts
The S-curve turns points into a chance:
−2.2 pts ≈ 10% · 0 pts = 50% · +1.5 pts ≈ 82%.
Every block starts at −2.2 (most blocks survive).
Each risk factor adds its points when true. Bigger points = stronger cause, weighted by how often that factor shows up in the history of the atlas's voids.
