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.

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 agentnever 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 the raw sensates + their arguments to the agent before tool listing (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 }raw, not summed; no friction term; no load scalar. Surfaced to the agent 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 designis_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): a relevant prior injects a large, specific argument (priors derived per §6).

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).
