2.1 KiB
D2 — The medium / "the blood" (DESIGN-FIRST)
1. Component
The perfusion bus the organs share — what circulates between Brain and periphery. The architecture is explicit that organs communicate by perfusion, not direct wiring; this is that medium. Currently unnamed and unimplemented.
2. Status / certainty
DESIGN-FIRST · C1 (named structurally only; no backing, no name).
3. Language & location
TBD. Likely a message/IPC substrate (the R↔Octave↔Ada↔Guile organs must interoperate across languages), so a language-neutral transport (e.g. line-delimited JSON, or a small broker) is the leading shape.
4. Does / does-not
- Does: carry organ secretions/injections between organs, always through Ada (D1) before reaching the Brain.
- Does-not: police (D1), enrich (organs), or hold state (storage E*). It is transport, not gate.
5. Interface contract (proposed)
- A typed envelope
{ from_organ, to, payload, provenance }every organ emits/consumes. - All cross-language organs (R Drive-Box, Octave ETR, Ada border, Guile mini-rag) speak this one shape → this is what makes the polyglot body interoperate without bespoke per-pair wiring.
6. Dependencies & stubs
Everything rides it; nothing it depends on. Stub today: in-process function calls + canned envelopes (which is exactly how the per-organ specs stub their I/O now — the medium formalizes those stubs).
7. Invariants / laws
- L1 (C5): perfusion, not direct wiring — no organ holds a hard reference to another's internals.
- L2 (C5): everything reaching the Brain crosses Ada (D1) first.
- L3 (C1): envelope carries provenance (so D1 can enforce its provenance laws).
8. Build steps
- Name it + choose transport. 2. Define the envelope. 3. Replace the per-organ in-process stubs with real medium calls, one edge of the DAG at a time (start R↔Octave for the Drive-Box, A8/A1).
9. Tests
Round-trip an envelope between two stub organs; assert it passes through a D1 admit check; provenance preserved.
10. Open items
- The name. The transport choice. Whether RDE drives idle-perfusion. (All C1.)
