It is also worth noting that navigators are effectively [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One-way_function one-way functions], meaning movements are easy to replicate in one direction but are difficult or impossible to replicate in the reverse direction. This means that you should never make a permanent safe using navigators if the starting point is a celestial, upwell structure, or any other known point. This introduces the risk of an attacker with the correct navigators following the path to your safe. However, if you make 2 safes based on the same starting point but using different navigators for each, then an attacker that discovers one will be unable to backtrack to the starting point and your second safe will remain secure.
