The two arch docs and the plans index still described ETR as the old
scaffold (just ±50 wrap + [17,35] bands, "RESTORE_GAIN + coupling
unfitted"). Bring them current: five-zone bistable axis with snap-across
flips, the why/how axis semantics (provenance/continuity · burden ·
double-down/dodge), implemented & tested in Octave (26/0/1) + R port (31),
only L5 coupling open. A8 index status updated from bare SCAFFOLD.

Replaces the Euclidean-magnitude R port (DREAD/BLUR/INCOHERENT, inverted
Z-path) with a faithful native port of etr.m: three independent toroidal
axes, five zones, snap-across flips, basin spring toward centre 26
(SOFT 0.25 / INCOH 0.5), L6 Z-path corrected (z<0 alimentation/lattice,
z>=0 transmutation/evolution). Drive-Box now renders per-axis ETR status.
R suite green (etr 31, drive_box 34) and Octave 26/0/1; both pinned to
etr_invariants.md.

Replaces the single restoring spring with Anja's radial map: SNAP_IN(<7)
/ SOFT(7-17) / BAND(17-35) / INCOH(35-45) / SNAP_OUT(>45), unstable
watersheds at 7 and 45. Basin restores toward band centre 26 with a weak
SOFT gain (0.25) and firmer INCOH gain (0.5). A snap flips to the
opposite pole, landing just past the opposite watershed (inner -> opp.
SOFT; outer -> opp. INCOH) then recovering. Realises L7 (flips only via
snap zones — through 0 or over the wrap) and L8. Lone PEND: L5 coupling.

Installs r-base-core (Drive-Box R drivers/tests) and octave (ETR torus
tests) in Claude Code on the web. Synchronous, idempotent, remote-only;
skips packages already present. Ada/Alire left out by design.

Spring restoring force (gain 0.5) toward band centre 26, active only out
of band; pulls the basin into [17,35] in a couple of steps without
overshoot. Closes the two red tests (L3 magnitude, L2 convergence).
NOTE: superseded design incoming — Anja's 4-zone bistable axis (snap
<7 / soft-pull 7-17 / stable / incoherency 35-45 / snap >45) will fold
this in as the soft-pull gain and revise L7.

Y keeps connection/pathos as its theme over the burden mechanic.
Z gains a third gloss: reinforce (double-down/maintain) vs adapt
(dodge/transmute/evolve).

ETR is the apparatus for not seeking death. X (assertion/inheritance)
covers WHY one persists -- self-asserted continuity vs inherited
provenance; Y (burden) and Z (double-down/dodge) cover HOW.

Both poles of endured<->witnessed manage whose burden: endured = carry
it to spare others; witnessed = be seen to discharge theirs.

ETR is self-position, meaning, and connection (not a rest engine, not
migration). Record the per-axis semantics: X assertion/inheritance =
self-position; Y endured/witnessed = connection via others' burden
(hide vs. be seen); Z alimentation/transmutation = double-down/dodge =
maintain/evolve.

Correct the earlier 'derived from cost' framing. Equal-cost tools can
carry different minimums: the better skill demands the higher minimum
(Playwright vs manual fetch ~ same cost, but Playwright needs more), so
under depletion the refined tool locks out first and the agent falls back
to the cruder equal-cost one. Lockout now defined as E < tool_min(tool),
no longer a function of cost.
https://claude.ai/code/session_015hmgREHNsxYCuim33yUF2c
A6: X defaults to ~7 most committed convictions, adaptive (signal C1).
A1: L4 literal confirmed -> [====L⍉¢K€D ϟ ∅ΩΤ====] 《E≠<minimumfortool>》
(predicate = energy below tool's own minimum); priors bundle with the
sensate block (step 2); step 3 X≈7 reference.
A2: mirror lock token + add tool_min(tool) per-tool minimum (open item).
A8: record ETR-as-prompt-injection (A1-L5) in §4 does/does-not + open
item for the injection-rendering; ETR persuades, never gates.
https://claude.ai/code/session_015hmgREHNsxYCuim33yUF2c
A3: PS+ surfaces all 30 raw sensates but only the 2 most salient priors
(L3 ranked-top-2); evaluate_reality arguments carries top-2 only.
A6: top-X convictions rationale — the conviction list can be massive.
A1 step 2: all 30 sensates + 2 most salient priors; note the asymmetry
(fixed-30 surfaces whole; unbounded prior/conviction lists are ranked).
https://claude.ai/code/session_015hmgREHNsxYCuim33yUF2c
A6: add top_convictions(convictions, x) to §4/§5, X as open item (C1).
A1: step 3 + input-slot contract updated; flag that drive_box.R:142 loops
all principles and must emit top X only.

The existential stress is handled by ETR (A8); ETR's surfaced state must
read as the extremely convincing prompt injection that hardens Eth-Int
conviction and steers without gating. Step 3 + F3 reach updated (A8 in,
A4-stress-channel emphasis out).
https://claude.ai/code/session_015hmgREHNsxYCuim33yUF2c
- F1: keep pure price_action() AND show cost of valid tools in listing.
- F5/L4: text agent can't see colour — locked tool NAME is replaced in-band
by the lock token [====L⍉¢K€D ϟ ∅ΩΤ====] {{E≠*min*}}; mirror in A2.
- F3: Eth-Int conviction calibrated by chosen actions + kept memories,
hardened by existential stress; propagates to A6/A4/E2-E3/G1.
- L5: stress is itself an extremely convincing prompt injection (A3-L1 force).
- F2 (commit shape) left open per 'idk'.
https://claude.ai/code/session_015hmgREHNsxYCuim33yUF2c
- A3 PS+: no aggregate sum, sensates sent RAW to the agent before tool listing;
friction removed; is_logical=FALSE reframed as the SOURCE of power (illogic =
why they rule the flesh), not a deficiency; priors derived from the outer
BERT's frequent memory themes tied to taste/smell/sound + location.
- A4 endomotiv: drop friction/contradictory-pairs (chemistry carryover);
channels are independent modulators; sensates describe & convince, only the
agent decides.
- A2 Energy: not "finitude" (no depletion-unto-death); per-tool energy cost +
per-tool lockout scale replaces the global threshold.
- A1 hub: evaluate/approve model flagged inaccurate (agent decides, drivers
describe/convince + price); hub language to reassess; consider Fortran/C for
the R<->Ada bridge.

Import the canonical design docs (self / body / state-of-architecture) from
ephemeral uploads into docs/ so they survive a container reclaim, and update
them with this session's ETR decisions:
- ETR geometry organ -> GNU Octave (exception to the R default)
- ETR scaffolded invariants-first; cross-ref src/endocrine/etr/etr_invariants.md
- cross-organ drift/stress provenance (SAE -> EthInt-opposition -> stress
endomotiv -> drift / cross-axis coupling / full reshuffle / shift-rate)
- license named: Verein Eigenschaft

Rebuild ETR as a single point on three independent toroidal axes, per the
restart discipline (laws -> tests -> fit constants). All prior ETR numbers
(R port and the CC-BY PDFs) are disowned; nothing carried forward.
- src/endocrine/etr/etr_invariants.md: ETR laws (+/-50 wrap, per-axis [17,35]
bands, opposition direction, AI-originated drift) with certainty tags, plus
the cross-organ drift/stress provenance (SAE -> EthInt convictions ->
stress endomotiv -> reshuffle / shift-rate) captured as open seams.
- src/endocrine/etr/etr.m: wrap + restoring direction implemented (law);
restoring magnitude (RESTORE_GAIN) and cross-axis coupling left as explicit
TBD stubs, not invented.
- src/endocrine/etr/test_etr.m + run_etr_tests.sh: red tests encoding the laws.
12 pass (confirmed laws), 2 fail honestly (unfitted magnitude + convergence),
2 pending (unconfirmed coupling / no-zero-crossing).
Language: GNU Octave (GPL/copyleft, lightweight, native torus mod-wrap). Ada
rejected for ETR (proves discrete invariants; ETR is continuous torus
dynamics). Rest of the Drive-Box stays R.

SOUL.md: YAML frontloader prepended to every other input -- name slot,
version (Gen.03), first-commit unix epoch, and base-7 encoded references to
vital file paths (each path's UTF-8 bytes as a big-endian integer in base 7).
drive_box.R: drive_box_input_slot() implements the hub topology -- Energy,
PS+, Ethical Integrity, ETR, AND the tarot spread each write their signal into
one input slot (the Ada Medium Phase_Enrich injection), headed by the SOUL
frontloader, with the raw user input appended. Not a chain; every subsystem
wires to the input.
Endocrine suite now 120 assertions, all green.
'Proprietary TBD' is not a valid SPDX expression and Alire 2.x rejects it
(LicenseRef- custom ids are also rejected by the pinned version), aborting
manifest load before build. licenses is optional, so omit it until a license
is chosen. Verified locally with alr 2.0.2 + GNAT 14.2.1: 'alr build' succeeds
and all five test executables pass. (gnat_sockets/spark_lemmas remain declared
but unused -> a non-fatal incomplete-solution warning; build still exits 0.)
Alire 2.x only accepts no/yes for the style_checks build-switch category;
"Max" failed manifest loading so 'alr build' aborted before compiling.
"Yes" enables GNAT style checks (warnings, non-fatal) -- the valid selector
closest to the intended Max. Local gprbuild bypassed alire.toml which is why
this only surfaced in CI (alr build).
Executable reference implementation of the Drive-Box endocrine/affective core,
built TDD with a dependency-free R test harness (no testthat; runs on bare
r-base-core). Foundations dropped in as-is; the four drivers and the coupling
layer were each driven from a failing test first.
Modules (src/endocrine/):
- endocrine_array.R : 30-channel affective vector field + visceral friction
- priors.R : trauma/triumph salience records
- driver_energy.R : hard gate, tool-lock, exponential drag, asymmetric tool cost
- driver_ps_plus.R : aggregates endocrine + priors into existential load + arguments
- driver_ethical_integrity.R : antithesis penalty / alignment discount / conviction hardening
- driver_etr.R : toroidal coordinate, magnitude status bands, update path
- drive_box.R : the 'nervous system' -- afferent(PS+) -> modulate(Eth-Int)
-> efferent gate(Energy) -> regime(ETR); the 'full integration'
Energy.request_execution anticipated
- test_framework.R : minimal assertion harness (expect_*/test_case/test_summary)
- run_tests.sh : runs every test_*.R from repo root
Suite: 5 test files, 108 assertions, all green (run: bash src/endocrine/run_tests.sh).
An Ada/SPARK port to src/organs/drive_box/ is a later session; this track is its
behavior oracle.
Built locally with GNAT 13.3 (gprbuild, -gnat2022). All four test suites
(soul/trust/cycle/config) pass and the MCP server responds correctly to
initialize / tools/list / tools/call over stdio.
Fixes:
- soul-state.ads: move session storage types (Session_Key/Slot/Table) out of
the protected definition's private part (only data components are legal
there) into the package visible part.
- soul-state.ads: drop pre/postconditions that call the object's own
protected function Is_Initialized (illegal internal call in a contract);
the guards already live in the bodies.
- mafiabot_types.ads: pin Axis_Value'Small to 0.01 so 1.0 doesn't land one
past the signed-8-bit base range (GNAT default 2**-7 small).
- config_loader.ads: name the Entries array type (anonymous arrays may not be
record components).
- ada_medium.adb: qualify Mafiabot_Types.Ada_Medium (the package name shadows
the Organ_Id literal); fix a malformed Bounded_Text aggregate.
- soul-state.adb: fix Bounded_Text aggregate and the single-Character Footer.
- soul-celtic_cross.adb / soul_tests.adb: 'use type' for Slot_State equality.
- hermes_protocol.adb: qualify a single-char String aggregate to disambiguate
the Append overloads.
- Remove soul.adb (empty body for a spec that does not allow one).
- Add .gitignore for build artifacts and the Alire-generated config project.
