Reorg step 1: consolidate repo under core/, drop the mafiabot label
Mechanical structure-only pass (no document/guide content edits):

- Move src/ichor, src/endocrine, and docs/ into core/; the old top-level
  mafiabot_core/ becomes core/. Everything now lives under a single core/ root.
- Drop the "mafiabot" label from the Ada/Alire crate: core.gpr (project Core),
  alire.toml name = "core"; the generated *_config.* regenerate as core_config.*.
- Repoint build-critical wiring only:
  - .claude/skills/run-sica-fondt/smoke.sh (ponyc + Ada + COBOL paths)
  - core/src/endocrine R source()/runner paths and the test glob
  - .github/workflows/ci.yml (working-directory + gpr name)

Verified green: smoke ALL GREEN (Pony Ichor, Ada core crate + tests, COBOL E1
vault); R endocrine 14/0; Octave ETR 26/0/1.

Deferred (reserved for a less-ephemeral doc/guide pass): docmap.yaml, the guide
files and nested AGENTS.md/README prose + now-stale relative links, SOUL.md, and
the deeper ring/storage restructure.

# A3 — PS+ (Primal Sensates+) driver
## 1. Component
Driver 2: the body. Reads the endomotiv array (A4) + priors (A5) and **passes the raw sensates +
arguments to the agent** — **never summed, no Existential-Load scalar**. It describes and convinces;
it does not aggregate.
## 2. Status / certainty
Structure WORKING (`driver_ps_plus.R`, 63 L); the old aggregate-sum + friction are removed (Anja).
## 3. Language & location
R · `src/endocrine/driver_ps_plus.R` (sources `endocrine_array.R` + `priors.R`; + `test_ps_plus.R`).
## 4. Does / does-not
- **Does:** read the active endomotiv vectors (A4) — **no friction**; read priors (A5); **pass all 30 raw
sensates + the 2 most salient priors to the agent before tool listing** (Anja — sensates in full, priors
ranked to the top 2). They describe & convince — the agent then decides, with the per-tool costs from A2.
- **Does-not:** sum, reason, gate, or decide. It asserts "X is happening"; it never approves or routes.
## 5. Interface contract
- `init_ps_plus_state() -> { endocrines:A4, priors:A5 }`.
- `evaluate_reality(state) -> { sensates:[raw per-channel, 30], arguments:[str], is_logical:FALSE }`
**all 30 sensates raw, not summed; no friction term; no load scalar.** `arguments` carries the
**2 most salient priors only** (ranked, not the whole prior set). Surfaced **before tool listing**.
## 6. Dependencies & stubs
A4 endomotiv array — *stub:* `init_endocrine_state()` with canned channel magnitudes.
A5 priors — **priors are *derived*** from what the **outer BERT** reports as frequently-recorded memory
themes, **tied to descriptors of taste / smell / sound + location** (not hand-added records, Anja).
*Stub:* a canned set of derived priors. (Updates A5.)
## 7. Invariants / laws
- **L1 (C5):** PS+ is **illogical by design**`is_logical = FALSE`. This is **not a deficiency**; it is
*the source of its power*: sensates **rule the flesh precisely because they can't be reasoned away**
(sensation, not proposition — no argument to refute, so they steer beneath cognition).
- **L2 (C5):** sensates are sent **raw, never summed** — qualia (the field) and any economy (priced
elsewhere, A2) ride separate rails; PS+ aggregates nothing.
- **L3 (C4):** the **2 most salient** priors inject large, specific arguments (priors derived per §6);
only the top 2 surface, ranked by salience — the rest stay silent.
## 8. Build steps
1. **[test approach was wrong — Anja]** rewrite `test_ps_plus.R` for the corrected model: raw/unsummed
output, no friction, `is_logical=FALSE` as the power-law (L1), sensates-before-tool-listing.
2. Wire the derived-priors source (BERT themes + sensory/location descriptors) — see A5.
## 9. Tests
`Rscript src/endocrine/test_ps_plus.R` (rewritten per §8).
## 10. Open items
- Argument register/format (how the raw sensates are phrased to the agent) — ties to A4 sensational lines.
- The derived-priors pipeline from the outer BERT (C1, shared with A5/F1).
