The evasion paths problem asks when a dynamically changing space can be navigated: imagine guards are patrolling a region, for instance, and we need to stay outside their view. We use the Bousfield-Kan spectral sequence for homotopy inverse limits as a proxy for calculating the homotopy groups of the space of evasion paths. This gives a complete calculation of the number of paths (up to homotopy) for spaces we call ``0-sectional." We give a characterization such spaces, and conclude the paper by reframing the calculations in terms of the covered region.
