# Gen.03 — concentric bus topology  *(DRAFT — captured live, correct freely)*

Two rings around a membrane. Outer organs ride Ichor up to Ada; Ada is the
gate and routes the inner bus; behind it the inner organs (Hermes among them).
The world is outside; nothing reaches the inner ring without crossing Ada.

## Three different "memories" — do NOT conflate
- **MoRAG = GoDAGRAG** — OUTER. Reads the **world** (the graph of DAGs of RAGs).
- **mini-rag** — INNER. **Muscle memory.** Pre-motor: before an action reaches
  the actual hands (the real tools / effectors), mini-rag recalls the **right
  shape** for it — the tool schema (D3). HD associative recall of the learned
  form, like a hand pre-shaping its grip. It is **tool lookup**, not
  world-retrieval and not self-knowledge.
- **E1 invariant laws** — INNER. The immutable laws the system must obey, held
  in COBOL vaults (the constitution). Not "ontology" — that was a bad paraphrase.

## The deck (B1) — integers + a table
- **Shuffle kernel:** 169 × 2 = **338 integers**, shuffled + randomized → pure
  RNG/permutation → **Fortran** (native to the Ada inner bus).
- **Lookup table:** card meaning keyed by integer → **COBOL** indexed records.

## Language map
Two **distinct Fortran scripts** and (at least) two **distinct COBOL stores** —
not shared modules.

| Component | Language | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Ichor (outer bus) | Pony | built |
| Ada (membrane + inner-bus router) | Ada/SPARK | decided |
| deck shuffle — *Fortran script #1* | Fortran | decided |
| mini-rag (muscle memory / tool-shape recall) — *Fortran script #2* | Fortran | decided |
| deck lookup table — *COBOL store #1* | COBOL | decided |
| tool-schema store (mini-rag reads this) — *COBOL store #2* | COBOL | decided |
| COBOL invariant laws / E1 (the law vault, separate) | COBOL | given |
| drive-box (A1) | R | existing |
| MoRAG / GoDAGRAG (outer) | Haskell or Crystal | open |
| Hermes | OpenHermes agent (external model) | given |

## Corrections baked in (vs earlier wrong models)
- Hermes is an inner organ on the inner bus — not external, not a separate core.
- Ichor is the OUTER bus (organs → Ada), not the brain bus.
- Inner bus is **Ada-routed**, not Pony.
- **mini-rag = muscle memory / tool-shape recall (D3)** — it reads the
  **tool-schema** COBOL store, NOT the ontology, and is NOT the MoRAG.
- MoRAG/GoDAGRAG (outer) ≠ mini-rag (inner).
- The deck is integers + a table; no fancy ADT language needed.

## Inner-bus Ada — Jorvik
The inner-bus Ada runs the **Jorvik** profile (same `gnat.adc` hardening as the
border: `No_Exceptions`, `SPARK_Mode`, `No_Implicit_Dynamic_Code`). Shape:
**protected object = mailbox/sync** (short, non-blocking — Jorvik forbids
blocking in a protected action), **tasks = workers** that call into the organs
(Fortran/COBOL/R/model via native interop) and may block.

## Open / to place
- **COBOL inventory:** two lookup stores (deck table + tool-schema). Is the **E1
  invariant-law vault** a third COBOL store, or a different kind of COBOL
  structure that isn't a lookup "store"?
- **MoRAG / GoDAGRAG language** (Haskell vs Crystal vs other).
- Each outer organ's hand-off shape to Ada.
- ~~The stomach/economy organ's exact placement + which small model runs it.~~
  **→ placed:** M-series (M0–M7) in `docs/plans/`. Outer organ on Ichor; data feeds via M2 (Data Feeds).
