That's harder to describe. I tend to call it an "alien" rebuild. The foggy recesses of my mind recall a TV program (Twilight Zone??) where aliens were abducting earthlings and had made a trap/habitat that they thought would be comfortable. They patterned it after watching earthling TV. The earthlings realized it wasn't real when they opened the kitchen cupboard doors and found only wall. The aliens had never seen them opened, so didn't know what was supposed to be behind them. The more I got into this pso, the closer the analogy became.
