Prior to [[the Century Attack]], it was only possible to merge down, not up. To address this, the down-tree instance would fork and let the up-tree merge down, and then that instance would assume the identity of the old up-tree. | Prior to [[the Century Attack]], it was only possible to merge down, not up.

=== Merge direction === | |||
Prior to the Century Attack, an instance can only merge down — that is, only the instance which forked them will receive memories when they quit. However, as part of the work done to repair the System, the ability to merge up- or cross-tree was added. This is only available on Lagrange as of the first few years after the attack. | |||
