I'm proposing a solution to rigidity that requires no rebuild of how connectivity works, doesn't challenge physics with interconnectivity, and with energy consumption, has a metric you can adjust to balance it with.
The Inertial dampener would have an adjustable radius, energy consumption scaled to radius and other objects would dampen their response to any physics impulse away from a part's configured position. This would be more forgiving when you have intentionally moving parts, and avoids weird physics calculations with frames of reference and such that might make a mess.
The main challenge I see is with moving parts - establishing that a part's configured position should be relative to the hinge, spring, or whatever, and that decoupled parts should be relative to the ultimate parent.
