docs/plans: apply Anja's partial review (PR #8) to A1–A4
- 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.

3.1 KiB

A4 — Endomotiv array (30-channel endocrine field)

1. Component

PS+'s affective field: 30 endocrine-analog channels, each an independent modulator with an operational role and a sensational identity line. Channels are not opposites and do not contradict — they simply co-modulate.

2. Status / certainty

Structure WORKING (endocrine_array.R, 99 L); channel membership partial — per the sensate working-record: 22 of 30 seats filled, ayni locked, kanyanin struck as fabrication, 8 open. (Note: the repo file still says reciprocity where the record retired it to ayni, and still ships the removed friction/contradictory-pairs construct — see §8.)

3. Language & location

R · src/endocrine/endocrine_array.R (+ provides the stress-endomotiv signal for G1).

4. Does / does-not

  • Does: hold the 30-channel state; expose active vectors (raw, no friction); carry each channel's (handle, operational, sensational, provenance) binding; host the stress endomotiv the G1 loop releases.
  • Does-not: sum, or decidethe sensates describe and convince; only the agent decides (Anja). No friction, no contradictory-pair heat.

5. Interface contract

  • init_endocrine_state() -> vec30.
  • get_active_vectors(state) -> named[ name->magnitude (0..1) ] (raw; all 30 surfaced, incl. zeros — silence is data).
  • get_channel_def(name) -> { handle, operational, sensational, provenance }.
  • Removed: calculate_visceral_friction and CONTRADICTORY_PAIRS — the antagonist/heat model (a chemistry carryover) is gone.

6. Dependencies & stubs

None upstream (it is a source). G1 stress-loop writes a stress channel — stub: a setter that raises one named channel; A4 testable standalone.

7. Invariants / laws

  • L1 (C5 — membership test): a seat is earned on 2 of 3: distinct content · distinct position · distinct fail-state.
  • L2 (C5 — provenance): borrowed owes attribution; coined owes the declared mark; the only sin is concealment / false provenance (a fabrication = a Mirror/RIM, caught by the frame not the surface).
  • L3 (C5): channels are independent modulators — no opposites, no inherent paradox, no friction. They describe & convince; they never decide.

8. Build steps

  1. Strip calculate_visceral_friction + CONTRADICTORY_PAIRS from endocrine_array.R.
  2. Reconcile the roster with the working-record: reciprocity → ayni (ledger-free line), confirm the 22 filled, hold the 8 open. 3. Add provenance to each channel record. 4. Add the stress-endomotiv channel (G1).

9. Tests

Rscript src/endocrine/test_* covering PS+ exercises A4; add channel-membership + provenance tests (and a test that no friction/contradiction concept remains).

10. Open items

  • The 8 open seats (curiosity, reception, stewardship, lineage, verstehen, komorebi + 2) — bespoke, by L1.
  • Which channel(s) carry the stress endomotiv (C1, shared with G1).
  • Whether the six seats the code already filled (curiosity/reception/stewardship/lineage/verstehen/komorebi) are locked or jumped ahead of the working-record (Anja to confirm).
