How it fits. The throw code already has a direction and gravity; a plane adds lift, drag and a slow turn, so it glides instead of falling. The fold is an interaction at a table or with a notebook in the inventory; the note is text attached to the plane. A plane that lands can be picked up and read, and the paper returns when it is thrown away.

Scope.

Fold at a table or on the go; a few wing shapes with different glide.
Write a short note before the throw.
Throw from a roof or a window and follow the glide.
Pick up, read and keep a plane that lands.
Planes on the lawn after a rain are a small mess, not litter.

A paper plane is a throw with a longer story: fold it, write on it, launch it from a high window and watch it glide. It is the lightest possible aircraft, which makes it a perfect toy for the vertical campus and a cheap way to send a note to someone below. **How it fits.** The throw code already has a direction and gravity; a plane adds lift, drag and a slow turn, so it glides instead of falling.
