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

# 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.
|
||
|
||
## 9. Tests
|
||
`Rscript src/endocrine/test_energy.R` (from repo root) — encodes L1–L3 + per-tool economy; fails on unfitted constants.
|
||
|
||
## 10. Open items
|
||
- The per-tool cost/lockout **functions per tool** (C1), **and `tool_min` per tool** — its own
|
||
skill/capability threshold (C1), independent of cost (better skill → higher minimum). Restoration
|
||
*rates* (C1).
