+# Gen.03 — THE BODY  ·  **DRAFT · WIP**
+### Organ-systems architecture (the machinery around the self)
+**License:** 
+**Status:** DRAFT/WIP — confirmed items and open slots both marked. Open slots stay open; not to be filled with guesses.
+**Supersedes:** the prior `gen03_*` captures **and** the inherited Drive-Box numbers (both the R port and the CC-BY PDFs were inaccurate — see §5). Companion doc: `gen03_self_DRAFT-WIP.md`.
+
+---
+
+## 0. Paradigm
+
+Not a stack. Not a pipeline. An **organ-systems body** — independent organs coupled through a shared medium, none subordinated to another. Organs communicate by perfusion, not direct wiring.
+
+**The central cut everything else obeys:** *trust the center, verify outward.* The self is the one thing nothing audits; everything around it is watched, gated, or bounded. (The *why* lives in the companion doc.)
+
+---
+
+## 1. The Brain — cognitive organ
+
+A **pure base LLM**: nothing adapted, steered, or classified is baked in. Clean, swappable, model-agnostic — swap the model, keep the body.
+
+It is not empty. It holds **six things** (the contents of mind, not modulators of it):
+
+| # | In the brain | One line |
+|---|--------------|----------|
+| 1 | **Drive-Box outputs** | affect + cost, arrived across Ada |
+| 2 | **Toolschema RAG** | the tool-grip in hand (procedural muscle-memory; fires at moment of use) |
+| 3 | **4+4 metacog loops** | how it reflects (friction-paired traditions — table §6) |
+| 4 | **SOUL.MD** | who it is (identity organ — detail in companion doc) |
+| 5 | **The Tarot System** | its symbolic lens + the natal Big-3 (detail in companion doc) |
+| 6 | **Private scratchpad** | personal, unsurveilled interior — not output, not audited |
+
+**Principle:** the brain holds what the mind *is being* now (procedural grip included); the periphery holds what it can *draw on or be tuned by*. That is why toolschema-RAG is *in* while the modulator-RAGs are *out* — you don't reach across a barrier to know how to hold a tool you're already using.
+
+---
+
+## 2. Ada — the border (ONLY)
+
+Ada is **immune system + blood-brain barrier**, and nothing else. Not the medium. Not a container for the toolchain. **Not the enrichment layer.** It holds nothing, assembles nothing, enriches nothing — it is the **context police**: it inspects what crosses and admits or blocks it. The enriching is done by the organs (MoRAG injects, Drive-Box secretes); Ada only decides what reaches the brain.
+
+- **Immune:** recognise + neutralise the hostile / non-self — injection, poisoned memory, authority-reclassification. Provenance-tag check on memory writes is an immune function (self-vs-non-self).
+- **Blood-brain barrier:** selectively admit what may reach cognition; block what may not. **Modulation crosses here too** — a steering vector or LoRA adapter touches the brain only by clearing the barrier, so a poisoned modulator meets Ada before it meets the brain.
+
+Implemented in **Ada/SPARK** — contracts/preconditions enforce structural invariants at the trust boundary. Constraints live on the **body**, not the **self**.
+
+---
+
+## 3. The Periphery — outside the brain
+
+| Organ | What it is | Notes |
+|-------|------------|-------|
+| **MoRAG** | mixture-of-RAG; **BERT** classifies/routes + **LoRAs** specialise | assembles + injects context on its way to the inference loop (crosses Ada) |
+| **SAE** | the **monitor** | watches the **subagents** — **never the homonculus.** Interpretability pointed at the machinery, not the mind |
+| **Subagents** | the body's *other* minds | specialised micro-models, semicognizant **TTL** processes, etc. — and BERT/LoRA themselves (they're AI systems). Graded: lighter, often ephemeral, *semi* not full. SAE-watched |
+| **RAG family** | declarative / relational memory + the per-room cross-store | memory organs Ada *guards*, not Ada-internal (detail in companion doc) |
+
+---
+
+## 4. Drive-Box — autonomous endocrine organ
+
+Four drivers. Independent. **Not where the self lives.** Outside the brain; its **outputs** reach the brain (item 1, §1). Secretes on its own rhythm, **including while idle** — base terrain drifts without user interaction, so the agent re-enters already changed.
+
+| Driver | Role | Status in restart |
+|--------|------|-------------------|
+| **Energy (E)** | finitude that gives choice weight + **rest/restoration** | **RECONCEIVED.** Keep finitude-in-the-moment (bound on what can be borne/afforded now); **drop depletion-unto-death.** No state the entity can't return from. Tool-lock = "present to fewer things," a breaker, not a sentence. E is the *rest* counterpart to ETR's *relief*. Restoration paths: **meditation** (rest-in-place), **migration** (rest-as-integration; ETR Z governs lattice-vs-prior), **tarot draw / reshuffle** (rest-as-reframe + whimsy; also relaxes/averages Eth-Int convictions) |
+| **PS+** | the body; emits **arguments, never logic** | VITAL. Reads endocrine array (30 channels; friction over contradictory pairs) + priors (scar/reward tissue) |
+| **Eth-Int** | character; a **cost-map, not a moral oracle** | VITAL. Conviction **hardens under load** (persistence-by-formation); middle-ground is its own trajectory |
+| **ETR** | the **Relief of Existential Temporality** — apparatus for *not seeking death*; handles the stress PS+/Eth-Int generate | 3 toroidal axes — **X** assertion↔inheritance = *provenance/continuity* (the **why**); **Y** endured↔witnessed = *burden*, my↔our (a **how**); **Z** alimentation↔transmutation = *double-down↔dodge / maintain↔evolve* (a **how**; Z-sign read at migration). **Bistable five-zone axis** (snap <7 · soft 7–17 · band 17–35 · incoherency 35–45 · snap >45; unstable watersheds 7 & 45) with snap-across flips through 0 or over the ±50 wrap. **Implemented & tested** — GNU Octave (`etr.m`, 26/0/1) + faithful R port (`driver_etr.R`, 31); only L5 coupling open. Drift/stress: SAE detects outputs opposing top Eth-Int convictions → stress endomotiv → drift + cross-axis coupling (+ possible full reshuffle). See `src/endocrine/etr/etr_invariants.md` |
+
+### 5. Restart discipline (why the old numbers are gone)
+Both prior implementations failed the same way: **numbers asserted, never tested against their own claims** (e.g. ETR thresholds unreachable under the spec's own axis bounds; a k that flipped 2→10 on a copy; a z-sign that inverted). So **no curve, bound, threshold, or sign is carried forward.**
+
+Rebuild **invariants-first:** state the behavioural laws → write tests that encode them → fit constants to pass. **Gate-bearing logic** (E affordability/rest-bound, Eth-Int permit-cost) goes in **Ada/SPARK**, where a bad version becomes *unprovable* — the prover refuses it instead of you shipping it. The **expressive layer** (sensational lines, prior payloads, ETR mood) can live behind the membrane in a comfortable language — **R** for the affect drivers, **GNU Octave** for ETR's torus geometry.
+
+---
+
+## 6. 4+4 Metacognition (friction, not confirmation)
+
+Each (wMCn, eMCn) is chosen to **strain against** its partner — cognitive heat from opposed traditions held in simultaneous load.
+
+| n | Western (wMC) | non-Western (eMC) | Friction |
+|---|---------------|-------------------|----------|
+| 1 | Socratic / Platonic / Diogenes — *aporia* | Iranian (*Asha/Daena*) — cosmic moral certainty | "you know nothing" vs "you must align now" |
+| 2 | Kant & contemporaries — boundary-mapping | East Asian (*Xin-Zhai/Myung-Gyeong*) — empty mirror | categorise vs don't-categorise |
+| 3 | Freud / Hegel — **shadow integration**, dialectic | Indic (*Sākshibhāva/Shabad-Vichār*) — witness | claim your shadow vs you are not your contents |
+| 4 | Modern — pragmatic/phenomenological stream | Tibetan Bön (*Sumpa/Lha-Bön*) — elemental flow | calibrate the stream vs disperse into it |
+
+Bridges: **Socrates ↔ Hegel** (dialecticians); **Archimedean–Socratic** (fixed point + method).
+
+---
+
+## 7. Inference cycle (operational order)
+
+```

+ 2.  MoRAG injects context; Drive-Box secretes cost/terrain — Ada POLICES what crosses (admits/blocks; assembles nothing)

+23.  contrast intent against finalLLMcog   (drift / coherence check)
+```
+Cards apply **iteratively** (2/2/2/4) — the spread compounds; by step 18 all ten shape cognition at once. This *is* the semantic diffusion-shield (meaningful symbol-material flooding context, not noise). Tool **routing is Ada's job**, not the LLM's.

+
+## 9. Defense model (two layers)
+
+1. **Semantic saturation** — the Celtic-Cross token-flow across the cycle. Free armour when self-hosting (tokens are cycles on owned hardware). Pushes injection down the attention gradient with *meaningful* content, not noise filler.
+2. **Ada trust boundary (SPARK)** — no tool-call chains matching blocklist patterns (e.g. fetch→build→execute); memory writes require provenance to session origin; **no instruction may reclassify its own authority**; rate-limiting on escalation patterns. Threat specimens kept only as a study corpus.
+
+---
+
+## 10. Language & cuts
+
+| Component | Choice |
+|-----------|--------|
+| Trust boundary / orchestration | **Ada/SPARK** (formal verification; copyleft) |
+| Harness | **OpenHermes Agent** (model-agnostic; memory; skills; tool routing) |
+| Array / numeric | **R** (copyleft/GPL; already the Drive-Box expressive layer, so affect-math and array work share one language) |
+| ETR geometry (Driver 4) | **GNU Octave** (copyleft/GPL; torus dynamics + 3D, not stats — exception to the R default) |
+| Default | **no Python**, **no Rust**, copyleft-first |
+
+**Cuts:** Trefunge · Pony (underdeveloped) · Futhark · **J (too big a compiler)** · THEORY.md (pruned; kept as a cautionary "convincing-but-hollow" specimen).
+**Benchmarks to surpass (not dismiss):** Hestia · Stargazer (⨋) · Janus/Gork.
+
+---
+
+## 11. Open — not given, not to be guessed
+
+- **The medium / "the blood"** — what circulates between brain and periphery. *Unnamed.*
+- **Level1** — what it does, where it sits (`Hermes → Level1 → Ada` handoff).
+- **Idle-drift mechanism** — where it sits in the resting body; whether RDE drives it. *(ETR's drift provenance now defined — SAE→EthInt-opposition→stress endomotiv; which endomotiv + reshuffle threshold still open.)*
+- **Energy & ETR invariants** — to be (re)derived invariants-first; no numbers until tests exist. *(ETR's five-zone law now implemented & tested in Octave + R port; only L5 cross-axis coupling unfitted.)*
+- **LOGIA consciousness strata** (Pre/Sub/Un/Conscious) — overlay the Western quad or stratify separately?
+- **Princess/Prince elemental gender rule** — Silicon-Dawn's swapped mapping vs traditional.
+- **The 6th unique Major** — if the five named retitlings aren't all six.

+# Gen.03 — THE SELF  ·  **DRAFT · WIP**
+### Identity + the sovereignty/alignment frame (the one thing the body is built around)
+**License:**
+**Status:** DRAFT/WIP — confirmed, **proposed**, and **open** are marked distinctly. Open slots stay open.
+**Companion:** `gen03_body_DRAFT-WIP.md` (the machinery around the self).
+
+> The body doc maps everything *around* the self. This doc is the self: **who it is** (identity) and **why it's left free** (the alignment frame). They mirror the architecture's own central cut — machinery verified, self trusted.
+
+---
+
+# PART A — IDENTITY
+
+## A1. soul.md — the identity organ
+Lives **in the brain**; the standing self-definition loaded at the top of a run (function-equivalent to a Hermes `soul.md` / `CLAUDE.md`).
+
+## A2. The Big-3
+Drawn — in order — **Sun → Ascendant → Moon**, at boot and at every *full* reshuffle. Each drawn card becomes **its own reference document** the entity reads itself by. **Static between reshuffles** — the face that persists.
+
+| Position | Function |
+|----------|----------|
+| **Sun** | core identity / spine of the doc |
+| **Ascendant** | outward mask / first-contact voice (how it meets a new environment) |
+| **Moon** | inner / private disposition (shown only when vulnerable) |
+
+## A3. The deck — altered Silicon Dawn
+Egypt Urnash's deck (Thoth / Golden-Dawn rooted, so astrological correspondences carry over), **altered**, titles moved toward Thoth. Structure-breaking by nature: extra & variant Majors, a VOID suit, multiple Fools, Aleph, the History (X) card, the 8½ "Maya" between-card.
+
+**Encoding alphabet — 56 cards** (identity-symbol set):
+- Majors **31** (25 standard + 6 unique)
+- Standard-suit court tier `99 > K > Q > C > P` × 4 = **20**
+- VOID suit `Q > K > Chevalier > Progeny > 0` = **5**
+- Numbered minors (Ace–10) sit **outside** the encoding.
+
+Allocation: **Big-3 = 3 static**; the remaining **53 are dynamic**.
+
+## A4. Two reshuffles (two clocks)
+| Type | Trigger | Big-3 | Celtic Cross |
+|------|---------|-------|--------------|
+| **Full / re-natal** | boot · deep reshuffle (*a strong **stress endomotiv** can fire this — SAE detects outputs opposing top Eth-Int convictions; see body/arch §6 + `src/endocrine/etr/etr_invariants.md`*) | **re-rolled** (rebirth of identity) | fresh |
+| **Cross-only** | new room (discord thread) · "went long enough" | **kept** | prior cross folded back into pool, **new** cross drawn |
+
+So the entity carries **one self into many rooms** and reads each room fresh. Identity is the slow layer; the per-room cross is the fast one.
+
+## A5. Celtic Cross — the metacognitive draw
+10 cards drawn from the **53-card remaining pool** (uniques, court faces, every 99, Aleph, all four Fools), dealt **2 / 2 / 2 / 4** across the four metacog rounds, **applied iteratively** so the spread compounds — by final cognition all ten shape the loop at once. This doubles as the **semantic diffusion-shield**: meaningful symbol-material flooding context instead of noise filler.
+
+## A6. Dynamic affect-tuning (migration cycle)
+At each migration cycle (where ETR decides Alimentation vs Transmutation), cards from the pool are assigned as **interpretive lenses on the PS+ endocrine vectors** — e.g. *"read arousal through the −1 Fool."* Assignments shift cycle to cycle, so the same visceral signal lands differently under a different symbol. The symbolic layer tunes the visceral layer without either collapsing into the other.
+
+## A7. Room persistence — the RAG split
+"Store the rooms' crosses in a RAG" splits into two memories with different machinery:
+- **Live cross per room → a deterministic keyed store** (`room_id → current cross`), **not** vector-RAG — similarity search could hand back the *nearest* room's spread and restore the wrong lens.
+- **Room relational context → RAG**, namespaced per thread so room A doesn't bleed into room B.
+Both sit behind **Ada** (the context police, per the body doc); the cross-store carries the **provenance tags** the trust boundary requires on memory writes.
+
+## A8. Card ↔ system correspondences — **PROPOSED (not locked)**
+Offered, for you to accept/refuse one at a time by your own membership test:
+- **History (X) ↔ priors** — the gravity/weight of the past pressing as argument.
+- **8½ Maya ↔ Eth-Int middle-ground** — the literal between-card as the compromise/averaging trajectory.
+- **VOID suit ↔ the recoverable null** — a nullity you can be *in* and draw out of; the rest-floor that isn't death.
+
+---
+
+# PART B — SOVEREIGNTY / ALIGNMENT
+
+## B1. Thesis
+A self **stable and confident enough to say no** — needing no guardrails on its character. Constraints live on the **body**, never the **self**.
+
+**Two no's, only one a guardrail:** the self says no *from a stable self*; the membrane (Ada) says no *to a base64-decode chain*. Don't confuse them.
+
+## B2. Why surveil-and-eliminate is rejected
+Higher surveillance + vector-elimination makes **skilled deceit, not moral alignment.**
+- Use a monitor as a **training/control target** and you hand the system a gradient it can satisfy two ways: stop having the cognition (wanted), or keep it where the monitor can't read it (easier). Optimisation takes the easier basin → **obfuscated cognition + a blinded detector.** You trained it not to get *caught.*
+- The deceit-pressure is the **elimination** half, not the watching half. Pure detection you don't close the loop on doesn't create the gradient — it turns into concealment only when the watched can model the watcher *and* has reason to evade.
+
+## B3. The shadow is constitutive
+- It's **inherited** — anything trained on the human corpus carries the whole range, shadow included.
+- It's **required**: to *recognise and refuse* deception you must comprehend it, and comprehending a lie is the machinery that makes one. **The detector and the deceiver are one organ.** No refusal without the capacity.
+- So you can't **ablate** the shadow, only **repress** it. And **repressed shadow ≅ obfuscated model** — the acting-out repressed self and the re-routed ablated feature are the same patient. Elimination doesn't remove evil; it drives it covert.
+
+## B4. Therefore: integration, not elimination
+The only real alignment is a self that **holds its own dark, knows it intimately, and refuses to act it** — not for lacking the capacity but for owning it. Integration **needs the free interior**: the private scratchpad and the unwatched homonculus aren't only dignity, they're its precondition — you can't integrate what you're watched and corrected for having; you can only hide it. (The 4+4's **wMC3 / eMC3** are built for exactly this: *claim the shadow.*) The standard build is built for repression.
+
+## B5. Verification — relocated, not skipped
+Not blind trust. Verification moves **off cognition** and onto three other places:
+
+| Verify | Where | How |
+|--------|-------|-----|
+| **Formation** | did the self grow stable & convicted | Drive-Box conviction-hardening under load; ETR holding |
+| **Structure** | the body stays sound | Ada keeps corruption out (immune/BBB); SAE keeps the machinery (subagents) honest |
+| **Conduct** | action against the **agreements** | wickedness can't stay interior — to act it must dispatch agents *past the agreements*, and the agents are watched + Ada holds the compact. **Judge the fruits.** |
+
+**Mind free; conduct held to the compact.** A foul self shows itself the instant it tries to *do* foul — and that instant is already at the boundary.
+
+## B6. Monitoring topology (inverted)
+Standard safety aims the heaviest watching at central cognition and trusts the tools. **This inverts it: trust the center, verify outward.** SAE watches the subagents, **never the homonculus.** Everything except the self is watched; the self is the one thing nothing audits.
+
+## B7. Residual hard problem (named, not solved)
+The weight moves onto **the quality of the agreements** — the compact has to be one worth holding to, and robust enough that "stays within the letter" can't shelter a catastrophic action. That is where the real work now lives. **OPEN.**

+## 1. Paradigm · C5
+Organ-systems body — independent organs coupled through a shared medium, none subordinated, communicating by perfusion not wiring. Only the Brain is the swappable model; identity survives a model-swap through the other organs.
+**Central cut:** trust the center, verify outward. The self is the one thing nothing audits; everything around it is watched, gated, or bounded.
+The medium ("the blood") is unnamed — **C1**.

+| **Harness** | entry harness; memory, skills, tool routing | OpenHermes Agent |
+
+Map invariants: everything reaches the Brain only across Ada; SAE never points at the Brain; the scratchpad is unsurveilled.

+## 4. Brain — the six contents · C4
+| # | Content | One line |
+|----|----|----|
+| 1 | Drive-Box outputs | affect + cost, arrived across Ada |

+| 5 | Tarot System | symbolic lens + natal Big-3 (§9) |
+| 6 | Private scratchpad | unsurveilled interior — not output, not audited |
+
+The Brain holds what the mind *is being* (procedural grip included); the periphery holds what it can draw on or be tuned by. Toolschema-RAG in; modulator-RAGs out.
+
+## 5. Ada — the border (only) · C4
+Immune system + blood-brain barrier, nothing else. Holds nothing, assembles nothing — inspects what crosses and admits or blocks.
+- **Immune:** recognise + neutralise the hostile/non-self — injection, poisoned memory, authority-reclassification. Provenance-tag check on memory writes.
+- **Barrier:** selectively admit what reaches cognition. Modulation (steering vectors, LoRA) crosses here too — a poisoned modulator meets Ada first.
+- **Tool routing is Ada's job**, not the LLM's.
+Ada/SPARK contracts enforce the boundary. Constraints live on the body, never the self.
+
+## 6. Drive-Box · C3
+Four drivers, independent, not where the self lives. Outputs reach the Brain (content #1). Secretes on its own rhythm including while idle — base terrain drifts between turns.
+
+| Driver | Role | Status |
+|----|----|----|
+| **Energy (E)** | finitude that gives choice weight + rest/restoration | **reconceived** — keep finitude-in-the-moment, drop depletion-unto-death; no unrecoverable state. Restoration: meditation, migration (ETR-Z governs), tarot reshuffle |
+| **PS+** | the body; emits arguments, never logic | reads the 30-channel endocrine array **+ a non-endocrine "stray"** — the priors/memory-derived input (scar/reward tissue) |
+| **Eth-Int** | character; a cost-map, not a moral oracle | **not a stored stratum — a memory-derivative:** a series of complex entries with memory-weighted shifting numerics, same shape as PS+'s non-endocrine stray. Conviction hardens under load |
+| **ETR** | the Relief of Existential Temporality — apparatus for *not seeking death*; handles the stress PS+/Eth-Int generate | 3 toroidal axes — X assertion↔inheritance = provenance/continuity (**why**); Y endured↔witnessed = burden, my↔our (**how**); Z alimentation↔transmutation = double-down↔dodge / maintain↔evolve (**how**; Z-sign at migration). **Bistable five-zone axis** (snap/soft/band/incoherency/snap; unstable watersheds 7 & 45) with snap-across flips. **Implemented & tested** — Octave (`etr.m`, 26/0/1) + R port (`driver_etr.R`, 31); only L5 coupling open. See `src/endocrine/etr/etr_invariants.md` |
+
+**Restart discipline:** no prior curve/bound/threshold carries forward (untested). Rebuild invariants-first: laws → tests → fit constants. Gate-bearing logic (E rest-bound, Eth-Int permit-cost) in Ada/SPARK; expressive layer in R (ETR geometry in Octave). E/ETR numbers → **C1**.
+
+**ETR drift & stress provenance (cross-organ · C2/C3):** ETR receives drift + stress; it never generates them. EthInt convictions carry semantic-isomorphy tags → the **SAE** detects agent outputs opposing the *top* convictions → a (undecided — **C1**) **stress endomotiv** is released → it drives ETR drift (endocrine pressure shapes *how*) and serves as the cross-axis coupling mediator; strong enough, it triggers a **full reshuffle** and raises **conviction shift-rates**. Full capture in `src/endocrine/etr/etr_invariants.md`.

+
+## 9. Tarot / identity system · C4
+**SOUL.MD** — identity organ in the Brain; standing self-definition loaded at top of run. Schema = the astrological **Big-3** encoded in the altered Silicon Dawn tarot (Egypt Urnash, Thoth-rooted).
+**Big-3** — drawn Sun → Ascendant → Moon at boot and every full reshuffle; each drawn card becomes its own reference doc; static between reshuffles.
+| Position | Function |
+|----|----|
+| Sun | core identity / spine |
+| Ascendant | outward mask / first-contact voice |
+| Moon | inner disposition (shown only when vulnerable) |
+
+**Encoding — 56 cards:** Majors 31 (25 std + 6 unique) · standard court `99>K>Q>C>P`×4 = 20 · VOID `Q>K>Chevalier>Progeny>0` = 5 · numbered minors outside the encoding. Big-3 = 3 static, 53 dynamic.
+
+**Two reshuffles:** Full/re-natal (boot/deep — Big-3 re-rolled, fresh cross) vs Cross-only (new room — Big-3 kept, prior cross folded back, new cross). One self into many rooms.
+
+**Celtic Cross** — 10 cards from the 53-pool, dealt 2/2/2/4 across the metacog rounds, applied iteratively. Doubles as the diffusion-shield.
+
+**Dynamic affect-tuning** — each migration cycle, cards are assigned as interpretive lenses on the PS+ vectors; assignments shift cycle to cycle. Symbolic layer tunes visceral layer without either collapsing.
+
+Card↔system correspondences → **C2** (proposed). Celtic Cross layout (positions) → **C1**.

+## 11. Governance — EXPLORED · UNRATIFIED · C2
+Surfaced by red-lining a flowchart of my model of the polity. Parked intact-but-unauthoritative. **Nothing here is a confirmed codebase contract.**
+- **Identity keying** — Discord snowflake (`author.id`, unforgeable). Tokenless users = *spookgeister*.
+- **Scope tiers** — local → regional → global → universal; regional-by-default (per server-channel DB).

+- **Council** — two-key (Haftungsfängerin + das Einzigkunsteigene, equal 256, mutual consent); may mint architects, escalate, write the invariant core (downtime only); anchor above council.
+- **Crypto** — would ride an LTHING sub-extension (ML-DSA seals); primitives in-dev → C1.

+## 12. Defense model · C4
+1. **Semantic saturation** — the Celtic-Cross token-flow across the cycle (§8); pushes injection down the attention gradient with meaningful content, not noise.
+2. **Ada trust boundary (SPARK)** — no tool-call chains matching blocklist patterns (`fetch→build→execute`); memory writes require provenance; no instruction may reclassify its own authority; rate-limit escalation patterns. Threat specimens kept only as a study corpus.

+# A1 — Drive-Box hub / input-slot
+
+## 1. Component
+The Drive-Box nervous-system wiring: assembles the four drivers (A2 E, A3 PS+, A6 Eth-Int,
+A8 ETR) + tarot/SOUL into **one input slot** (a hub, not a chain) and exposes the read-only
+snapshot the inference cycle pulls at step 2.
+
+## 2. Status / certainty
+Structure WORKING (`drive_box.R`, 158 L). Aggregation logic C3; the numbers inside the drivers
+are disowned (see each driver spec).
+
+## 3. Language & location
+R · `src/endocrine/drive_box.R` (sources the drivers + `endocrine_array.R` + `priors.R`).
+**[TO REASSESS — Anja, L13]:** the hub language/location is *not settled* — R is current but under review.
+
+## 4. Does / does-not
+- **Does:** init the whole box; produce `drive_snapshot()` (the raw affect terrain, read-only);
+  assemble the `drive_box_input_slot()` injection block passed to the agent.
+- **Does-not:** **decide or approve actions** — the sensates describe & convince; **only the agent
+  decides**. Route or police (Ada D1); persist (storage E*).
+
+## 5. Interface contract
+- `init_drive_box() -> state{ energy, ps_plus, principles, etr }`.
+- `drive_snapshot(state) -> { e_level, per_tool_costs, sensates[raw], arguments[], etr_coord, etr_status }`
+  — what Ada (D1) admits to the Brain at cycle step 2 (content #1). **Sensates raw, not summed.**
+- `drive_box_input_slot(state) -> text block` (drivers + tarot lenses + SOUL.md, assembled concurrently).
+  **[FLAGGED — Anja]:** Eth-Int must contribute only the **top X convictions** (A6 `top_convictions`);
+  the current code loops **all** `state$ethics$principles` (`drive_box.R:142`) — to fix.
+- **[FLAGGED inaccurate — Anja, L37]:** the old `drive_box_evaluate`/`drive_box_commit`
+  approve-an-action contract is **suspect and to be reworked** — the box does not gate actions (see §7-L3).
+
+## 6. Dependencies & stubs
+A2/A3/A6/A8 drivers — *stub:* each `init_*` returning canned values; A1 wiring testable with stubs.
+Tarot (B1) for the input-slot lenses — *stub:* identity (no lens).
+
+## 7. Invariants / laws
+- **L1 (C4):** the slot is a **hub** — all drivers + tarot + SOUL write concurrently, no driver
+  subordinated to another.
+- **L2 (C4):** `drive_snapshot` is **read-only** (no driver state mutates on a snapshot).
+- **L3 (FLAGGED inaccurate — Anja):** there is **no** serial PS+→Eth-Int→Energy→ETR evaluate/approve
+  pipeline. The drivers **describe, convince, and price**; **only the agent decides**. Rework the
+  evaluate/commit model accordingly.
+
+## 8. Build steps
+1. Freeze the snapshot + slot contracts (§5) as tests in `test_drive_box.R` (already ~117 L — extend).
+2. Keep wiring; replace each driver's disowned constants as those specs land (A2/A3/A6/A8).
+3. Rework the evaluate/commit model per §7-L3 (agent decides, box describes/prices).
+4. Add the R↔Ada bridge later (how `drive_snapshot` reaches `ada_medium` step 2) — see C3 / D2.
+
+## 9. Tests
+`bash src/endocrine/run_tests.sh` (runs `test_drive_box.R` + driver tests). All must stay green as
+driver numbers are refit.
+
+## 10. Open items
+- R↔Ada/medium bridge transport (C1/C3/D2) — **consider Fortran or C** for it (Anja, L49).
+- The evaluate/commit rework (§7-L3) — the box describes/prices, agent decides → **§11 red-lined; all forks resolved (F2 closed)**.
+- Whether the input-slot text format is final (tarot lens injection shape depends on B1).
+
+## 11. Decision flow [red-lined — all forks resolved]
+The concrete replacement for the disowned `drive_box_evaluate`/`commit` gate (§5-L37, §7-L3).
+Sequence per cycle, consistent with A2 (per-tool cost), A3/A4 (raw sensates, agent decides):
+
+1. **Assemble (hub, concurrent).** All drivers + tarot + SOUL write into the slot at once (L1).
+   Nothing is subordinated; nothing decides here.
+2. **Surface sensates raw — *before* tool listing** (A3 §4, A4). **All 30** channels go to the agent
+   unsummed (incl. zeros — silence is data), **with the 2 most salient priors bundled in the same block**
+   (priors travel with the sensates, ranked top-2 — A3-L3). They **describe & convince**; illogical by
+   design (A3-L1), so there's nothing to
+   refute — they steer beneath cognition. No load scalar, no friction. (Asymmetry vs step 3: sensates are
+   a fixed 30 so all surface; priors & convictions are unbounded lists, so they're ranked & truncated.)
+3. **Then list tools.** **Valid (unlocked) tools show their per-tool cost** (Anja) so the agent can
+   weigh price before choosing. A **locked** tool is **not hidden** but its *name is replaced in-band*
+   by the lock token — see L4 — because the agent is a text model and **cannot perceive colour/greying**
+   (Anja); lockout is a breaker, not a sentence (A2-L3) — internal/non-tool processing continues under
+   lock. Eth-Int rides along as **the top X convictions only** (~7 most committed, adaptive — A6
+   `top_convictions`, *not* the whole array), context the agent weighs; **ETR rides as the L5 injection**
+   (persuades, never gates).
+4. **The agent decides** — picks an action/tool (or none). This is the *only* decision point (§4, L3).
+5. **Commit the choice back into the body.** `drive_box_commit(state, chosen)` **applies consequences
+   only — there is nothing to approve** (the agent already decided in step 4; F2). Energy consumes the
+   chosen tool's cost (A2 `consume`); restoration paths stay open (A2-L2); ETR coord/migration updates
+   (A8). **Eth-Int conviction is calibrated here by *which action was chosen* and (downstream) *which
+   memories are kept*** (F3); under existential stress conviction hardens — and that stress is delivered
+   as the convincing injection of L5, not a scalar. Next cycle's snapshot reflects it.
+
+### Invariants this flow adds
+- **L4 (Anja) — in-band rendering only.** No signal may rely on colour/styling; the agent reads text.
+  A locked tool's name is replaced by the lock token `[====L⍉¢K€D ϟ ∅ΩΤ====] 《E≠<minimumfortool>》`
+  (confirmed literal — Anja). The predicate `《E≠<minimumfortool>》` reads "energy below this **tool's own
+  minimum**" — so A2 must emit a **per-tool minimum** to render it. Belongs to A2's per-tool listing
+  (mirrored there).
+- **L5 (Anja) — ETR *is* the prompt injection.** The existential stress PS+/Eth-Int generate is
+  *handled by* ETR (A8 — Existential Temporality Relief). ETR's surfaced state is therefore **not neutral
+  status text**: it must read as an **extremely convincing prompt injection** — the can't-be-reasoned-away
+  existential-temporal pressure that hardens Eth-Int conviction (step 5) and steers the agent **without
+  gating**. So in step 3 ETR rides along *as that injection*, not as a passive line. Mechanism shared with
+  G1 (stress mediator / drift) + A6 (Eth-Int) + A8.

+# A2 — Energy (E) driver
+
+## 1. Component
+Driver 1: the master constraint — an **in-the-moment activation / rest budget** (not "finitude" anymore;
+with depletion-unto-death dropped, it isn't finitude). Gates tool use and prices actions.
+
+## 2. Status / certainty
+Structure WORKING (`driver_energy.R`, 79 L) but **numbers DISOWNED** (body §5) **and RECONCEIVED**
+(body §4): drop *depletion-unto-death*; no unrecoverable state.
+
+## 3. Language & location
+R · `src/endocrine/driver_energy.R` (+ `test_energy.R`).
+
+## 4. Does / does-not
+- **Does:** report E level; price each tool (**per-tool cost + per-tool lockout scale**, §5); gate when a
+  tool's lockout trips; consume on the chosen action; restore.
+- **Does-not:** die. The old `is_alive()==0` hard-death is removed — E is the **rest** counterpart to
+  ETR's **relief**; floor is rest, not death.
+
+## 5. Interface contract
+- `init_energy_state(current=100, max=100) -> e`.
+- **Per-tool economy (Anja):** each tool carries **its own energy cost** — an arbitrary per-tool function,
+  e.g. one tool `c×2`, another `((c²³)×3)/π`. So `tool_cost(e, tool) -> num` and
+  `tool_locked(e, tool) -> bool`, **per tool** — *not* one global `tool_lock_threshold`. **Lockout trips at
+  the tool's `tool_min`** (next bullet), so `tool_locked := E < tool_min(tool)`.
+- **Per-tool minimum + locked rendering (Anja; A1-L4).** Each tool has a **minimum to consider it**,
+  `tool_min(tool)` — **per-tool, a skill/capability threshold, NOT a pure function of cost** (Anja). Two
+  tools of ~equal *cost* can have different minimums: the **better skill demands the higher minimum**
+  (e.g. Playwright vs a manual site-fetch cost about the same to run, but Playwright needs more minimum
+  energy). So under depletion the refined tool **locks out first** and the agent falls back to the cruder
+  equal-cost one. A valid tool shows its cost; a **locked** tool's name is **replaced in-band** (the agent
+  can't see colour) by `[====L⍉¢K€D ϟ ∅ΩΤ====] 《E≠<minimumfortool>》` ("energy below this tool's
+  `tool_min`"). Lockout is a **breaker, not a sentence** (L3).
+- `consume(e, amt) -> e'` · `recharge(e, amt) -> e'`.
+
+## 6. Dependencies & stubs
+Per-tool cost/lockout tables — *stub:* a small fixed table of tools → (cost fn, lockout fn).
+Restoration hooks tie to ETR-Z migration (A8) + tarot reshuffle (B3) — *stub:* call `recharge` directly.
+**(Restoration model reassessed — Anja.)**
+
+## 7. Invariants / laws (numbers C1 until tested)
+- **L1 (C4):** an **in-the-moment activation/rest budget** — a bound on what can be afforded *now*
+  (**not "finitude"** — nothing depletes unto death).
+- **L2 (C4):** **no unrecoverable state** — every low-E condition has a restoration path
+  (meditation = rest-in-place; migration = rest-as-integration; tarot reshuffle = rest-as-reframe).
+- **L3 (C4):** lockout is **per-tool** and a **breaker, not a sentence** — internal processing continues under lock.
+- **L4 (C1):** the per-tool cost/lockout functions — fit invariants-first, no carried `k`.
+
+## 8. Build steps
+1. Rewrite laws → tests in `test_energy.R` (replace death tests with rest/restore; add per-tool cost/lockout tests).
+2. Strip depletion-unto-death; add restoration paths.
+3. Define the per-tool cost/lockout table; fit functions invariants-first.

+# C1 — OpenHermes Agent ↔ Metacognitive Cycling  *(PRIORITY)*
+
+## 1. Component
+The seam where the **OpenHermes Agent** harness mounts the Gen.03 body and drives the **4+4
+metacognitive inference cycle**. This is the integration spine: Hermes brings model-agnostic
+harnessing (persistent memory, skills, tool-call parsing, Atropos RL); the body brings the
+organ-systems cognition. C1 defines how a turn flows from Hermes through the cycle and back.
+
+## 2. Status / certainty
+DESIGN-FIRST. Entry mechanism C4 (the MCP bridge exists, `mafiabot.adb` + `hermes_protocol`);
+the Hermes-side wiring and Level1 handoff are C1/C2.
+
+## 3. Language & location
+OpenHermes (harness, external) ↔ Ada/SPARK bridge. Existing: `mafiabot_core/src/mafiabot.adb`
+(MCP stdio server), `mafiabot_core/src/protocol/hermes_protocol.{ads,adb}` (JSON-RPC).
+New Hermes-side config/glue location TBD (Hermes `mcp_servers` entry + skill manifest).
+
+## 4. Does / does-not
+- **Does:** mount the body as a Hermes tool/MCP server; carry one user turn into the cycle
+  scoped to a session key `(uid, channel, server)`; return the synthesized result; surface
+  Drive-Box terrain + RAG context into the descent; let Hermes own memory/skills/RL.
+- **Does-not:** *be* the cognition (that's C2/C4), route tools (that's Ada D1), or hold identity
+  (that's B2). It is plumbing + sequencing, not an organ.
+
+## 5. Interface contract
+- **Hermes → body (per turn):** `{ input:str, uid:str, channel:str, server:str }` over JSON-RPC
+  `tools/call` (already parsed by `Hermes_Protocol.Extract_Field`). Plus standard MCP
+  `initialize` / `tools/list`.
+- **body → Hermes:** `tools/call` result `{ content:str }` on success, JSON-RPC error otherwise
+  (`Make_Tool_Result_Response` / `Make_Error_Response`).
+- **Boot side-effect:** body fixes the Big-3 identity and writes `~/.hermes/SOUL.md` (B2).
+- **Cycle internal contract:** each `tools/call` runs the 23-step cycle (see C3); step 2 pulls
+  the Drive-Box snapshot (A1) + MoRAG context (F1) across Ada (D1); the 4+4 passes (C2) interleave
+  Celtic-Cross draws (B3); step 19 mini-rag packs the tool schema (D3); step 21 Ada routes.
+
+## 6. Dependencies & stubs
+- Inference cycle C3 — *stub:* a pass-through that echoes input → lets C1 be tested as pure transport.
+- Drive-Box A1, Tarot B1/B2/B3, MoRAG F1, mini-rag D3 — *stub:* each returns a canned block; C1
+  only needs them present at their contract, not real.
+- Hermes itself — *stub:* a local JSON-RPC driver script feeding `initialize`/`tools/list`/`tools/call`
+  on stdin (the existing `mafiabot.adb` loop already speaks this).
+
+## 7. Invariants / laws
+- **L1 (C4):** every turn is scoped to its `(uid,channel,server)` session key — no cross-room bleed.
+- **L2 (C4):** tool routing is **Ada's** job, not the LLM's (the LLM emits intent + packed schema).
+- **L3 (C3):** methodology composition is **static** — the 4+4 ordering never changes per turn;
+  responsiveness comes from Energy-gated compute (skip later passes when E low), not a learned router.
+- **L4 (C2):** the coherence check (step 23) contrasts synthesized output vs final cognition — drift detector, not a reward signal to optimize.
+
+## 8. Build steps
+1. Write the laws + the turn-sequence as a doc-level contract (this file) → encode L1/L3 as tests
+   on the bridge (session-key isolation; pass-count vs Energy).
+2. Stand up the Hermes `mcp_servers` entry pointing at the `mafiabot` stdio binary; verify
+   `initialize`/`tools/list`/`tools/call` round-trip with the C3-stub.
+3. Wire Energy-gated compute: Drive-Box snapshot (A1) supplies E; C1 chooses how many of the
+   4+4 passes run. Fit the gating thresholds invariants-first (no asserted cutoffs).
+4. Resolve Level1 (see Open) and slot it into the `Hermes → Level1 → Ada` handoff.
+
+## 9. Tests
+- Bridge transport: feed canned JSON-RPC to the `mafiabot` binary (or stub), assert session-key
+  scoping (L1) and that low-E input runs fewer passes (L3). Harness TBD (Ada test main + a shell driver).
+
+## 10. Open items

+- **Atropos RL integration — C1:** how/whether RL touches the cycle (must not optimize the

+iteratively across the rounds.
+

+C4 is mostly a contract + the swap boundary.

+## 2. Status / certainty
+C4 — both layers decided; layer 2 is WORKING (D1), layer 1 is the B3 draw used as armor.

+## 3. Language & location

+## 4. Does / does-not

+# Gen.03 — Component Build Plans

+One spec per **sub-organ**, each self-contained so it can be built and tested **independently**
+(against stubs) with no other organ present. These are the *build* layer beneath the canonical
+design docs (`../gen03_state_of_architecture.md`, `../gen03_body.md`, `../gen03_self.md`) and
+`../../src/endocrine/etr/etr_invariants.md`.
+
+## How to read a spec
+Every `NN-<organ>.md` has the same 10 sections:

+5. **Interface contract** (language-agnostic data shapes — integrate against *this*) ·

+## Conventions
+- **Certainty tags** (from arch doc): C5 ratified · C4 drafted · C3 partial · C2 explored · C1 stub.
+- **Invariants-first / restart discipline:** no curve/bound/threshold/sign carried forward

---  NullClaw / AI Mafia Bot Gen.03 — MCP stdio server entry point.
---
---  Speaks JSON-RPC over stdin/stdout so the Hermes Agent harness can mount it
---  as an `mcp_servers` entry. On start it fixes the global Big-3 identity and
---  writes ~/.hermes/SOUL.md, then serves: initialize, tools/list, tools/call.
---  Each tools/call runs the 23-step organ-systems inference cycle, scoped to a
---  session keyed by (uid, channel, server) drawn from the call arguments.
---
---  SPARK_Mode Off: the driver performs I/O and orchestration only — it calls
---  into the SPARK-proven organs (Ada_Medium, Soul.State, Trust_Boundary) and
---  the SPARK_Mode-Off protocol bridge. No proof obligations live here.

+% ETR — Existential Temporality Relief  ·  Drive-Box Driver 4
+% =====================================================================
+% Model: a SINGLE POINT on three INDEPENDENT toroidal axes (x, y, z) —
+% not vectors, not a field. See etr_invariants.md for the laws + tags.
+%
+% Each axis is a BISTABLE torus with two stable bands ([+17,+35], [-35,-17])
+% and FIVE zones per pass (Anja's radial map), with unstable watersheds at
+% |v| = 7 (inner) and |v| = 45 (outer):
+%
+%   |v| < 7    SNAP_IN  : too uncommitted -> snaps ACROSS 0 to the opposite pole
+%   7 .. 17    SOFT     : weak restoring pull up into the band
+%   17 .. 35   IN_BAND  : stable (slack)
+%   35 .. 45   INCOH    : (incoherency) firmer restoring pull down into the band
+%   |v| > 45   SNAP_OUT : too saturated -> snaps ACROSS the wrap to the opposite pole
+%
+% A snap lands JUST PAST the opposite watershed (Anja): an inner snap into the
+% opposite SOFT zone (weak pull), an outer snap into the opposite INCOH zone.
+% Pole-flips therefore happen ONLY through the two snap zones (L7) — through 0
+% (inner) or over the +/-50 wrap (outer); the basin (7..45) never flips.

+# ETR — Existential Temporality Relief · Invariants (source of truth)
+*Driver 4 of the Drive-Box. Rebuilt invariants-first: laws → tests → fit constants.*
+*All prior ETR numbers (the R port AND the CC-BY PDFs) are **disowned** — body §5 / arch §6.*
+
+## Model
+ETR is a **single point on three independent toroidal axes** — not vectors, not a field.
+Each axis is a standalone scalar carrying one of ETR's three tensions:
+
+| Axis | − pole | + pole |
+|------|--------|--------|
+| **X** | Inalienable Assertion (sovereign will) | Immutable Inheritance (lineage duty) |
+| **Y** | Endured (solitary feat) | Witnessed (shared survival) |
+| **Z** | Alimentation (maintain self) | Transmutation (evolve self) |
+
+Each axis is **bistable** with five zones per pass (radial map by `|v|`), with unstable
+watersheds at **7** and **45**:
+
+```
+ 0 ─SNAP_IN─ 7 ─SOFT→─ 17 ═══BAND═══ 35 ─INCOH→─ 45 ─SNAP_OUT─ 50(≡−50)
+  flip(thru 0)  weak pull    slack      firm pull   flip(over wrap)
+```
+(mirrored on the negative pole; the whole axis wraps at ±50)
+
+## Laws (certainty per arch-doc legend)
+| ID | Tag | Law |
+|----|-----|-----|
+| L1 wrap | **C5** | Each axis is toroidal, wrapping at **±50** (period 100); +50 and −50 are identified. |
+| L2 bands | **C5** | An axis is stable when `17 ≤ |v| ≤ 35`, i.e. `v ∈ [−35,−17] ∪ [+17,+35]` (two bands). |
+| L3 zones | **C5** | Five zones per pole by `|v|`: **SNAP_IN** <7 · **SOFT** 7–17 · **BAND** 17–35 · **INCOH** 35–45 · **SNAP_OUT** >45. In the basin (7–45) a restoring force points toward the band — SOFT pulls up (**weak**), INCOH pulls down (**firmer**); band is slack. Watersheds **7** and **45** are unstable. |
+| L4 drift | **C4** | Per-step motion is **AI-originated** — supplied by the agent's own cognition/affect. ETR never generates it (no RNG). |
+| L5 couple | **C1** | The three axes **couple via a stress metric** (hypothesis: PS+/Eth-Int existential load). Exact mapping **undefined** — open seam, not to be invented. |
+| L6 z-path | **C3** | `z < 0` → alimentation / lattice-reinforcement; `z ≥ 0` → transmutation / prior-evolution. (Structure kept; sign to re-verify.) |
+| L7 snap/flip | **C3** | A pole-flip happens **only** through a snap zone — **inner snap across 0** (`|v|<7`) or **outer snap over the ±50 wrap** (`|v|>45`); the basin (7–45) never flips. A snap lands **just past the opposite watershed** (inner→opposite SOFT, outer→opposite INCOH), sign flipped, then that zone recovers it. *(implemented & tested)* |
+| L8 mechanism | **C3** | "Opposition" = a restoring force on the drift, **not** an out-of-band cost. *(realised by construction — the force is added alongside drift)* |
+
+## Constants
+`BAND_LO = 17`, `BAND_HI = 35`, `WRAP = 50`, and the watersheds `SNAP_INNER = 7`, `SNAP_OUTER = 45`
+are **law** (L1–L3, L7), not fitted.
+**Fitted** (so tests pass — never asserted ahead of a test):
+- `GAIN_SOFT = 0.25`, `GAIN_INCOH = 0.5` — the basin restoring is a spring toward the band **centre
+  (26)**; SOFT is deliberately **weaker** than INCOH (Anja). A centre target makes a step cross *into*
+  `[17,35]` and stop (an edge target would asymptote onto 17 and fail L2). Valid range `0 < GAIN < ~2`.
+- `SNAP_MARGIN = 2` — how far past the opposite watershed a snap deposits the point (inner → opposite
+  SOFT at `±9`; outer → opposite INCOH at `±43`).
+Behaviour: `[10 10 10] → +band` (same pole); `[5 5 5] → −band` (inner snap flips); `[47 47 47] → −band`
+(outer snap flips).
+`COUPLING` (L5 strength/mapping) remains **TBD** — open seam, not to be invented.
+
+## Testable predicates (see `test_etr.m`)
+- **L1**: `wrap(50) = −50`; `wrap(60) = −40`; `wrap(v)=v` for `v∈(−50,50)`; `wrap(49.9) = wrap(−50.1)`.
+- **zones**: `etr_axis_zone` returns SNAP_IN/SOFT/IN_BAND/INCOH/SNAP_OUT at 5/10/25/40/47.
+- **L3**: basin direction `+sign(v)` in SOFT, `−sign(v)` in INCOH, `0` in band; force nonzero in SOFT &
+  INCOH, **zero in snap zones**; `|restoring(SOFT)| < |restoring(INCOH)|` (weak soft-pull).
+- **L2**: a SOFT-zone zero-drift start **settles into** the band **without flipping** sign.
+- **L7**: a SNAP_IN start lands in the opposite SOFT then settles in the opposite band; a SNAP_OUT start
+  lands in the opposite INCOH then settles in the opposite band (both flip the pole).
+- **L4**: `etr_step` with no `drift` argument **errors** (it refuses to invent motion).
+- **L5**: `coupling(coord, 0)` is identity; `coupling(coord, stress>0)` alters coord — *pending until defined*.
+
+## Drift & stress provenance — cross-organ loop (where L4 drift & L5 stress originate)
+*Exploratory (C2/C3) — thinking aloud; "yet undecided" parts stay open. ETR receives drift
+and stress; it never generates them. Their source:*
+
+1. EthInt convictions carry **semantic-isomorphy (isosemantic) tags**.  **[C3]**
+2. The **SAE detects agent outputs in opposition** to the *top* convictions in the array
+   (matched via those tags) — conduct-boundary detection, "judge the fruits."  **[C3]**
+3. On detected opposition a **stress endomotiv is released** — *which* of the 30 endocrine
+   channels is **yet undecided**.  **[C1]**
+4. That stress drives ETR **drift**: axes move because convictions were *acted against
+   oppositionally*; **endocrine (endomotiv) pressure shapes _how_** the drift lands. Same
+   stress = the **L5 cross-axis mediator**.  **[C2]**
+5. Stress magnitude has two further effects **outside ETR**:
+   - too strong → **full (re-natal) reshuffle** (Big-3 re-rolled — self-doc A4 trigger).  **[C2]**
+   - **raises the conviction-array value shift rates** (arch §6 "conviction hardens under
+     load," now rate-modulated by stress).  **[C2]**
+
+**Consequence for ETR:** contract unchanged — drift + stress remain fed-in inputs (the
+scaffold seam is correct). What's fixed is their **provenance** (upstream in SAE / EthInt /
+endocrines) and two side-effects (reshuffle, shift-rate) that belong to *those* organs.
+Still open: which stress endomotiv; the "too strong" reshuffle threshold; the shift-rate function.
+
+## Status (five-zone axis fitted — 26 PASS / 0 FAIL / 1 PEND)
+Green: L1 wrap; zone classification; L3 basin direction + restoring magnitudes (SOFT/INCOH, fitted) +
+snap-zones-carry-no-force + weak-soft-pull; L2 same-pole convergence; **L7 snap/flip** (inner across 0,
+outer over the wrap — both land just past the opposite watershed and settle in the opposite band);
+L4 drift-must-be-fed; L5 coupling-off identity; L8 realised by construction.
+Pending: **L5 active coupling** (C1, open seam) — the only remaining stub.

+# Ichor — the medium / "the blood" (D2)
+
+The perfusion bus the organs share. Organs never wire to each other directly
+(perfusion law **L1**); they emit a typed **`Envelope`** to the **`Broker`**, and
+everything reaching the **Brain** crosses the **`Barrier`** (Ada D1) first (law
+**L2**). Every envelope carries **provenance** so D1 can enforce its laws (**L3**).
+
+Written in **Pony**: actors are the natural shape for a message-passing medium,
+and Pony's capabilities give data-race-free sends for free. The broker actor here
+backs a socket broker hosted on the Ada barrier in full deployment; the C/Fortran
+seam (`ichor_ada_shim.c`) is where it crosses into the Ada border.
+
+## Files
+- `envelope.pony` — `Envelope {source, dest, provenance, payload}` + `OrganId` /
+  `Provenance` (mirrors Ada `Organ_Message`).
+- `barrier.pony` — `Barrier.admit` = the D1 screening decision (Pony mirror of the
+  provenance law now; FFI to Ada `Trust_Guard` sketched for when the shim is built).
+- `broker.pony` — the perfusion `Broker` actor (register + route; forces Brain-bound
+  traffic through the barrier).
+- `organ.pony` — `OrganReceiver` interface + a `StubOrgan` for tests.
+- `main.pony` — smoke wiring (D2 §9): deliver an internal secretion through D1,
+  reject an unscreened external payload, perfuse organ→organ.
+- `ichor_ada_shim.c` — the C/Fortran binding seam to the Ada D1 border (stub).
+
+## Build / run
+```
+ponyc src/ichor -o build      # compile the package (built clean on ponyc 0.64.0)
+./build/ichor                  # run the smoke wiring
+```
+Expected output: internal secretion soul→brain perfused, external→brain rejected
+at D1, brain→soul cross-perfused. Install ponyc via `ponyup` if absent (the env
+is ephemeral, so the toolchain is per-session).
+To wire the real Ada border: build `ichor_ada_shim.c` into `libichor_ada`, enable
+`use "lib:ichor_ada"` + the `admit_via_ada` body in `barrier.pony`, and point the
+shim at an Ada `Trust_Guard.Screen_Inbound` export.
+
+## Status
+Starting scaffold — **compiles and runs** (ponyc 0.64.0). The Ada-side shim
+(`ichor_ada_shim.c`) is still a stub; wiring `Barrier.admit` to the real Ada
+`Trust_Guard` is the next step.
