Docs only. No code, no crate, no API change. The grounded implementation plan for the supplied Waben fold architecture, plus the board hygiene #1250's merge owed.

Two review rounds have landed on this branch since it opened; the plan below is the amended state at 1c619652, not the original.

Baseline

Confirmed by reading, not assumed: lance-graph main is 25988f3c; ndarray is 40a71ad, whose top three commits are G8 documentation rounds — no lzcnt / bswap / depth symbol exists anywhere in its src/. G8 is named in three docs and built in none.

Four seams

A — the executed planes never prove they are the witnessed lane. Planes (ir.rs:50) carries n_rows, masks, lanes and no version, lens or order identity. ISS-WITNESSED-RANGE-DOES-NOT-ATTEST-PLANE-ORDER, still open.

B — the bound is repainted into a full-population mask, always. Not one bad call site; the IR's definition. exec.rs:566 requires every scratch plane to be words_for(n_rows); exec.rs:540 hands it to mask_set_range, which paints its whole destination by contract (simd_masking_ops.rs:1587-1588 fills to the end of the slice). At 1M rows a Pred::Range writes 125 KB whether the range is 100 rows wide or 900,000. The tax is already measured under another name — D-DMD-P2's "old whole-lane buffer" control arm (34 → 4,620 ns) is the production executor's behaviour.

C — alpha's write asks for a coordinate the reader doesn't have. FIRE only ever writes what the read already had; the delta is not produced at publication time. So any re-addressing at the write boundary is pure loss, not work — and claim() demanding a NodeGuid to hash when the caller holds ordinals is exactly that. Separately, on the read side, attended_mask() (alpha.rs:783) allocates a full-population mask.

D — the bound and the tile are intervals in different orders. A Bound{lo,hi} is an interval in semantic projection order; a Morton tile is an interval in geometric order. The first draft joined them with a bare , two paragraphs after asserting one sequence is monotone under one lens at a time. Now its own measured wave (W3), on an independently-ordered lane.

The finding that reframes the sequence

A caller census (grep to find, then open and read) returned one pattern: the loop's parts almost all exist, are tested, are doc-honest — and are never assembled. wave_dispatch::dispatch_thought, AlphaFocus, StepMask, BatchWriter::castLanceCycleWriter, CallcenterSupervisor and quack::Filter::prefix_facet each have no live caller outside tests or their own pub mod line. Mostly assembly — though not purely: RowDomain, the range terminals, the rotation and a second SemanticLens are all new.

Two rulings that outlived their findings

A label that travels with the data it describes cannot attest that data. Digesting (key, ordinal) pairs proves nothing: with ordinal = post-sort position, K→A;K→B and K→B;K→A both digest as (K,0),(K,1). The fix is two attestations over two things — key_digest over semantic order, row_order_digest over a stable row identity — and then an author for the second one. Carrying a digest on a freely-constructed Planes just moves the defect up a level. Preferred: AttestedPlanes<'a>, constructible only from the sealed row image, so unattested planes are unrepresentable.

FIRE, KIND and DURABILITY are three questions, not one word. FIRE = a sparse delta, always. KIND: a non-empty Boolean delta is sufficient for an ATTENTION effect and never for an EPISTEMIC oneAlphaOverlay is attention memory, not truth. DURABILITY: the Rubicon — vanish / meta atom / replay spec / materialized state, three increasingly strong contracts. The consequence the arc is built on: the system can be liberal about generating hypotheses precisely because it is conservative about granting durability. A speculation must not cost what a conclusion costs.

Wave order

W0 two attestations → W1 who may mint the second → W2a range terminals, zero scratch → W2b bounded operand descriptor → W3 the rotation probe → W4 closed tile → W5 tile-local focus → W6.0 ATTEND vs EPISTEMIC → W6 publish as-is and measure → W7 second context. Plus D-WFL-DET before anything relies on replay.

Governing rule: never build the next layer until the current one proves its compact result survives into the actual consumer.

Not decided here

Left to a cognitive-semantics pass, and named so an implementation session does not canonize them: what a thought track is (w_slot is close to refutedtouch finds by mailbox_id alone and overwrites the slot, so a second track erases the first); what a Wabe direction is (six rails are storage capacity, not axial meaning, absent a named ClassView); what survives FIRE; the minimal meta-awareness carrier; and the Rubicon policy itself.

Board hygiene

Discharges #1250's merged-PR obligation (PR_ARC_INVENTORY prepend + LATEST_STATE). #1249 was hygiene-only, discharged by the entries it wrote. SUPERSESSION-INDEX.md regenerated last, after the board writes, on every commit. Every append-only file grew; verified by line count.

Explicitly not authorized

A new carrier enum, registry or slab; a moving Morton aperture before a closed tile is exact; G8; any KanbanActor-shaped per-cell message; and building the write-tier ladder before W6 measures that writes dominate this loop.

…ather than a construction

Grounded implementation plan for the supplied Waben fold architecture, written
against main 25988f3 and ndarray 40a71ad. Both baselines confirmed current;
nothing has landed past them (ndarray's top three commits are G8 documentation
rounds, and no lzcnt/bswap/depth symbol exists in its src/).

Three seams, in dependency order:

A. Planes (mask-risc/src/ir.rs:50) carries no version, lens or order identity,
   so a witnessed bound indexes a row order the executor never attested.
   ISS-WITNESSED-RANGE-DOES-NOT-ATTEST-PLANE-ORDER, still open.

B. exec.rs:566 requires every scratch plane to be words_for(n_rows), and
   exec.rs:540 hands that plane to mask_set_range, which paints the whole
   destination by contract (simd_masking_ops.rs:1587-1588 fills to the end of
   the slice, and the lo == hi branch fills all of it). A range therefore
   cannot stay a range anywhere inside the IR: at 1M rows a Pred::Range writes
   125 KB whether the range is 100 rows wide or 900,000. The tax is already
   measured under another name -- D-DMD-P2's "old whole-lane buffer" control
   arm (34 -> 4,620 ns) IS the production executor's behaviour.

C. Newly named. AlphaOverlay is hash-and-row shaped (claimed: Vec<NodeRow>, 512
   bytes per claim; at: HashMap<NodeGuid, usize>), so publication round-trips
   ordinal -> GUID -> hash -> ordinal -> full mask at the far end of the same
   loop the fold is trying to keep in ordinals.

Dominant census finding: the loop's parts almost all exist, are tested and are
doc-honest, and are never assembled. wave_dispatch::dispatch_thought,
AlphaFocus, StepMask, BatchWriter::cast -> LanceCycleWriter,
CallcenterSupervisor and quack::Filter::prefix_facet each have no live caller
outside tests. So the sequence is assembly steps, not constructions.

Resolved with no new storage: rung = TemporalPov.rung (a reader's coordinate);
track (<=64) = the 6-bit W-slot palette (AttentionMaskEntry.w_slot); the
six-neighbour tenant = the second facet's 6x(u8:u8) rail plane, already in the
locked LE catalogue §3 and already used in that exact shape by ndarray's
hex_tenant_mq_probe.

Also discharges #1250's merged-PR board obligation (arc entry + LATEST_STATE).
#1249 was hygiene-only and is discharged by the entries it wrote.

…hat makes curiosity affordable

Revision of the Waben plan after external review of #1251. Six changes, each
verified by reading the tree before acceptance rather than taken on the
review's word.

SEAM D -- NEW, and my error, not a refinement. A witnessed Bound{lo,hi} is an
interval in SEMANTIC projection order (SealedFacetLane sorts by
cmp_numeric_projection). A Morton tile is an interval in GEOMETRIC order
(ordinal = Morton(q,r)). The first draft's slice joined them with a bare
intersection, two paragraphs after asserting that one physical sequence is
monotone under one lens at a time -- the document contained its own refutation
and shipped anyway. The rotation is now its own measured wave (W3) on an
INDEPENDENTLY-ORDERED lane, because a fixture pre-built in Morton order has
assumed the answer. Its two outcomes are the thesis and its refutation.

The general lesson: a lens tag prevents pairing a prefix with a MISMATCHED
witness and does nothing to prevent joining two correctly-lensed intervals from
DIFFERENT lenses. The guard that catches a forged witness does not catch a
coordinate-system change.

WITHDRAWN: the duplicate-key recommendation. ordered_lane.rs:194 states the
shipped semantics -- equal keys are indistinguishable, so an unstable sort is
exact. Refusing to attest a lane with duplicates is a semantic regression
against that AND proves nothing, since equal keys are indistinguishable to the
comparator while their associated rows are not. Bind to the permutation.

FIRE, correctly framed. FIRE only ever writes what the read already had: it is
a sparse alpha-channel delta, and the delta is not produced at publication time
-- the fold was already holding it. So any RE-ADDRESSING at the write boundary
is pure loss, not work, and claim() demanding a NodeGuid to hash when the caller
holds ordinals is exactly that. This splits the deferred claim_ordinals in two:
the input coordinate (no stored bytes) and the storage contract (Vec<NodeRow>,
scanpath order, visit counts) -- a change the first draft would have made by
accident.

AlphaFocus is disqualified as the focus carrier, on the READ side: cell:122,
any_rung_mask:158 (ten times, once per rung lane), unlooked:175 and
rung_reach:183 each answer "what is focused?" via attended_mask(), which
allocates a full-population AlphaMask. A sparse write followed by a dense read.
W5 stays tile-local.

REPLAY, and the write tier. Mask intersection is deterministic and cheap, so the
durable unit of an insight can be the TASK that regenerates it rather than the
result -- and W1's RowDomain is exactly the replay key, which raises its value
from correctness fix to enabling condition. But replay wins because WRITING is
the expensive part, and that forbids a design the two-option framing still
allows: a speculative "this looks interesting" must not cost an SoA row. The
durable side is a ladder -- meta kanban atom (a question, never a row) <
replayable task (a descriptor) < materialized effect (the row) -- and the
rubicon is where an atom earns the full write. W6 measures cost per tier and
tier mix; a determinism gate (D-WFL-DET) precedes anything that relies on
replay, because a wrong replay still returns a plausible mask.

Also: D-WFL-2 splits into W2a (range-native terminals, zero scratch) and W2b
(a bounded operand descriptor with a global base_word -- local word zero is not
global word zero, so narrowing generic Scratch is insufficient); "only two build
anything new" withdrawn as too strong; thought-track == w_slot and rail ==
axial direction downgraded from resolved to HYPOTHESIS; the slice now states
which route reads the rail plane; and a new section lists what an
implementation session must NOT decide.

Board: E-A-BOUND-AND-A-TILE-ARE-INTERVALS-IN-DIFFERENT-ORDERS-1 and
E-REPLAY-CAN-BE-CHEAPER-THAN-STORAGE-1 prepended; revised D-WFL wave rows
prepended, superseding the flat list without editing it.

…s and two rulings

Seven findings across two bot reviews plus two follow-up rulings, each verified
against the tree before acceptance. Two of them overturn text this arc had
already written.

A POSITIONAL INDEX ADDED TO A KEY DIGEST ATTESTS NOTHING. The plan had floated
digesting (key, ordinal) pairs as the alternative to refusing duplicate keys.
With ordinal = post-sort position, K->row-A;K->row-B and K->row-B;K->row-A both
digest as (K,0),(K,1). Identical. The position is a function of the sort, not of
the row, so it cannot witness which row landed there. The fix is two
attestations over two different things: OrderedLaneWitness keeps
key_digest = H(K0,K1,...); a separate RowDomain carries
row_order_digest = H(ID0,ID1,...) over a STABLE row identity -- the NodeGuid
sequence or writer source ordinals, never the semantic key. Duplicate keys stay
legal per ordered_lane.rs:194, and swapping the rows behind one key now fails.
Added as W0, ahead of W1.

AND CARRYING A DIGEST IS NOT MINTING ONE. W0 says what is attested; W1 must say
who may mint it, or the defect just moves up a level -- from
Program.RowDomain == Planes.RowDomain to
Program.row_order_digest == Planes.row_order_digest, still metadata against
metadata, still permutable by a caller carrying the old digest along. Preferred
shape: AttestedPlanes<'a>, constructible only from the sealed row image, so an
unattested plane set is unrepresentable rather than merely rejected. Second
best: recompute H(NodeGuid_0..n) once at the attachment boundary, cached against
the immutable borrow. A digest field on a freely-constructed Planes is named as
the rejected decorative option so it is not rediscovered as an idea.

The generalization, which outlives W1: a label that travels WITH the data it
describes cannot attest that data. Either derive it from the content at the
point of use, or make the unattested state unconstructible.

W1's acceptance case is now stated exactly: identical keys, version, lens,
n_rows, key_digest and a RowDomain COPIED BY THE CALLER, but row identities A
and B swapped and one value plane swapped to match -- execution must refuse
before the Range is consumed. Red before the fix, green only when the actual
executed plane ordering is attested.

THREE AXES, PREVIOUSLY ONE WORD. FIRE = what changed (a sparse delta, always).
KIND = what it means: a non-empty Boolean delta is sufficient for an ATTENTION
effect and NEVER for an EPISTEMIC one (AlphaOverlay is attention memory, not
truth). RUBICON = what durability it earns: vanish / meta atom / replay spec /
materialized state, three increasingly strong contracts. This keeps TruthU8 and
NARS outside the Boolean mechanics and kills the reading where every successful
intersection counts as learning. Added as W6.0, ahead of the measurement.

Further verified findings, each read before acting: AttentionMaskSoA::touch
(attention_mask.rs:83-88) finds by mailbox_id ALONE and overwrites w_slot, so a
second track at one node erases the first -- the w_slot hypothesis is now close
to refuted and no acceptance criterion may assume two visible tracks;
AlphaTunnel::merge iterates lane.rows() (alpha_tunnel.rs:185), so an ordinal
claim that pushes no NodeRow is invisible to publication, which makes "the input
coordinate touches no stored bytes" too glib; the slice's publication decision
must test the DELTA's emptiness, not Terminal::RangeAny, whose endpoint
arithmetic reports "publish" on every converged step; the slice reads SYNTHETIC
tenant bytes, because reading real second-facet rail bytes as
(permeability, strength) would reinterpret operator-locked relationship
semantics without a sanctioned ClassView; scratch necessity must be DERIVED from
the validated program shape, never an ad-hoc caller flag.

Two scope corrections. A replay spec's proof obligation is the deterministic
input identity FOR THIS COMPUTATION, as references and not re-serialized
contents. And "bit-identical across SIMD backends" is scoped to the
integer/Boolean mask substrate -- deliberately not a general rule, so it cannot
be read as outlawing the f32/Gaussian kernels the architecture anticipates.

Also: RowDomain is the row-coordinate COMPONENT of a replay key, never the whole
of one; the write-tier ladder is specified now and built only after W6's
measurement, or dropped if costs are not widely separated; §8 gains the Rubicon
policy as the question an implementation session is least equipped to answer.

Board: E-A-POSITIONAL-INDEX-ADDED-TO-A-KEY-DIGEST-ATTESTS-NOTHING-1 and
E-ATTENTION-IS-NOT-EVIDENCE-AND-FIRE-IS-NOT-DURABILITY-1 prepended; round-2
D-WFL rows prepended without editing the earlier ones.

Owner Author

All eight review findings from both bots verified against the tree and addressed in 65a29dee + 1c619652. Two of them overturned text this PR had already written, so recording what changed rather than just "fixed".

Codex P1 — rail bytes as permeability. Correct, and the sharper half is the one about P_d. The plan now states that the slice reads synthetic tenant bytes, as hex_tenant_mq_probe does; reading real second-facet rail bytes as (permeability, strength) would reinterpret operator-locked relationship semantics (le-contract.md §3 sanctions basin:relationtype and two orthogonal relation types — never permeability and strength) and silently turn stored relations into propagation gates. Reformulated: 6 × (8:8) gives the capacity for free; a named Wabe ClassView is what would give those slots directional meaning, and minting one is not this arc's to do.

Codex P1 — bind RowDomain to the actual plane ordering. The most valuable finding here, and it invalidated my own fix rather than the original defect. Comparing Program.RowDomain against Planes.domain compares two metadata copies, so the permuted-planes falsifier I had just specified would have passed. Now split: W0 establishes what is attested (key_digest over semantic order, a separate row_order_digest over a stable row identity — never the key), and W1 must answer who may mint it, with AttestedPlanes<'a> (constructible only from the sealed row image) preferred and a digest field on a freely-constructed Planes named as the rejected decorative option.

Related: (key, ordinal) was also floated in the first draft and does not work — with ordinal = post-sort position, K→A;K→B and K→B;K→A both digest as (K,0),(K,1).

Codex P1 — preserve ordinal claims for existing overlay readers. Confirmed by reading: AlphaTunnel::merge iterates lane.rows() (alpha_tunnel.rs:185), and AlphaOverlay::rows() exposes only claimed. So a claim pushing no NodeRow is invisible to publication. My "the input coordinate touches no stored bytes" was too glib and is corrected — that change still owes either a compact ordinal/stamp representation with every reader updated, or an explicit later materialization boundary.

Codex P1 / CodeRabbit — check the delta, not the prefix range. Both right, and CodeRabbit's "✅ addressed in 65a29de" was premature — the line still said Any. Terminal::RangeAny is endpoint arithmetic for one un-undered Pred::Range; delta = A_{t+1} \ A_t is an arbitrary, possibly fragmented mask, so every converged step reported "publish". Now an emptiness test over the delta carrier itself, with RangeAny kept for what it is.

Codex P2 — two tracks per node. Confirmed: AttentionMaskSoA::touch (attention_mask.rs:83-88) locates by mailbox_id alone and overwrites w_slot, so a second track at one node erases the first. This does more than remove an acceptance criterion — a carrier that cannot represent two concurrent tracks at one address is poor evidence for being a thought-track carrier, so thought track == w_slot moves from resolved to close to refuted, and no criterion assumes two visible tracks.

CodeRabbit — claim_ordinals contract. Same root as the third finding above; deferred and split into the input coordinate and the storage contract, which the first draft would have changed by accident.

CodeRabbit — the D-WFL-* prefix claim. Correct; it went stale the moment the first commit added rows. Rewritten.

Board: E-A-POSITIONAL-INDEX-ADDED-TO-A-KEY-DIGEST-ATTESTS-NOTHING-1 and E-ATTENTION-IS-NOT-EVIDENCE-AND-FIRE-IS-NOT-DURABILITY-1 prepended, plus round-2 D-WFL rows. Still a docs-only PR.

…the same day it was proposed

THE LAW, operator-stated: zero-copy is not an optimization of the fold, it is
part of the DEFINITION of a fold. A fold reads canonical state in place and
returns a compact consequence; if it copies or materializes the source
population, it is not a fold.

Definitional caveat so the law cannot be argued away: zero-copy means no
SOFTWARE-LEVEL materialization, duplication, re-encoding, or retained derived
population. CPU loads into registers and cache lines obviously still happen and
are not a second representation.

Six invariants, stated so they cannot be softened by degrees: source bytes are
never copied by a fold; source layout is never rewritten; a fold does not retain
an execution view; a fold may emit only answer-sized or focus-sized state;
population-sized output is materialization, not folding; replay is repeated
zero-copy folding over pinned canonical state. Corollary: the moment an
operation needs to materialize population state, the fold has ended.

This does not forbid materialization. It forbids materialization HIDING under
the word fold -- an index build, a projection cache, a publication are all
legitimate and each must be named honestly and priced. Seam B is the cleanest
example: Pred::Range emits a population-sized mask, so the executor's range path
is materialization wearing a fold's name.

RETRACTED, same arc, same day: AttestedPlanes<'a> as an architectural carrier.
It was proposed hours earlier here as the "preferred, strongest" shape for
closing Seam A. It smuggled Rust's ownership vocabulary into the semantic model
and made a zero-copy peek sound like a persistent execution object. The
implementation does receive something spelled &[u8]/&[u64] while the
instructions run -- that is memory-safety syntax with a ~20 ns lifetime, and
promoting it to a named aggregate builds exactly the intermediary the substrate
exists to avoid.

  WRONG  storage -> construct execution view -> attest it -> carry it -> fold
  RIGHT  pinned canonical version -> verify the address/order contract
                                  -> PEEK zero-copy -> fold

The attestation belongs to the address/order RELATIONSHIP, not to a transient
aggregate of the planes. So W1's proof obligation sharpens from "these borrowed
slices belong together" to: ordinal i under this witnessed semantic order
resolves to the same canonical row i that every subsequent operation peeks. Once
that holds, every fold peeks whatever canonical column it needs at ordinal i and
there is no execution assembly at all -- every operation is fold(peek(...)).

Verified before accepting the census framing: SealedFacetLane is
{ keys: Vec<FacetCascade>, witness } (ordered_lane.rs:180) -- facet keys and
nothing else, no NodeGuid sequence, no mask planes, no value lanes. The
aggregate AttestedPlanes would have borrowed from does not exist.

W1 consequently gets SMALLER, not harder. Its census question is now: where does
ordinal -> canonical-row resolution happen today, and is it the same resolution
every peek uses? One resolution => verify the contract once against the pinned
version, then peek freely. Several, or one nobody re-checks => that IS Seam A's
depth, and finding it is the deliverable. Do not invent a sealed row image to
satisfy the plan.

Replay collapses too: "reconstruct fresh AttestedPlanes" was one abstraction too
many. Replay reacquires the pinned canonical version and runs the same peeks and
folds. A ReplaySpec holds no reference tied to any lifetime -- only owned names.
The falsifier loses a step and keeps its force: produce a ReplaySpec, drop every
execution object and transient view, re-open from ReplaySpec identities alone,
peek and fold, bit-identical.

THE ECONOMICS behind all of it: if thinking again is cheaper than remembering
the answer, think again. Never retain derived execution state merely to avoid
replay when stacked-fold replay is cheaper than maintaining it. Retain for
exactly two reasons -- economic (C_retain < C_replay) or semantic (it crossed the
Rubicon and must become history/evidence/state). The order-of-magnitude
argument (a ~10 us sweep is ~5,900 fold-equivalents, ~six 1000-fold chains on one
lane) is labelled CONJECTURE: #1245's 1.7 ns does not transfer to a whole-facet
cell per #1250, so the shape holds and the constant does not. W6 measures it.

AT 64K THIS STOPS BEING TUNING. If every dormant thought preserved a view, 64K
thoughts would mean 64K execution views, lifetime machinery and coherence
sweeps. Instead: wake thought 18,721 -> peek -> fold -> fold -> fold -> answer
-> vanish. The canonical SoA is the lake; a thought does not carry a bucket of
water around in case it wants to drink later. Scheduler law: no dormant thought
may consume sweep cost merely to remain current, and a sweep's cost is measured
in fold-equivalents. Sharing a THOUGHT (a replayable operator rebound to the
recipient's context) beats sharing a RESULT. A scheduler that spends more time
keeping thoughts current than it would spend thinking them again has inverted
the substrate.

…is the wave plan

A "Layer 0 photolithographic execution algebra" was proposed as the substrate
every cognitive style compiles into: one constitutional law (everything inside
is zero-copy), two program kinds (COMBINE vs an explicit justified RECONSTRUCT),
a small orthogonal ISA rather than a zoo, and metacognition as a query planner,
so no thought style owns intersection, prefix, locality, range, projection or
rotation because those are physics.

The architecture is right. Three corrections of NAME, none of substance, each
read-verified:

1. "Layer 0" is T1. membrane-tiers.md:22 already defines T1 as the population
   algebra and states its return contract as "a mask, a count, a lane
   descriptor -- never the population"; :48 says outright that the ladder does
   not need another tier. This is a sharpening of T1, not an addition beneath
   it.

2. lance-graph-mask-risc is already the ISA -- the crate name says RISC. Read
   ir.rs: Operand, LaneRef, Planes, Pred (11 variants), MaskOp{Pred,And,Or,Xor,
   AndNot,Not,Ternlog}, Terminal{Count,Any,All,MaskedSum/Min/MaxI32,BlendI32,
   Keep}, Program -- plus fuse.rs (Boolean tree -> one ternlog),
   ternlog_dispatch.rs and reference.rs. Program IS the plan a thought compiles
   into. Nothing needs minting.

3. "Valhalla is the storage membrane" does not hold against the tree: in
   lance-graph-java Valhalla is E4, "permanently a lab arm, never ships in
   src/main". T0 is the storage tier. Panama is a membrane, but the T2/T3 one.

THE GAP ANALYSIS IS THE FINDING. The proposed ISA minus what ships maps
one-to-one onto the open waves -- two independent routes arriving at the same
missing five. Shipped: AND/OR/XOR/NOT/ANDNOT, TERNLOG, GATE (the under
operand), ANY/ALL/COUNT/REDUCE. Half: BOUND (Pred::Range carries the result,
the search is in quack), PEEK (no strided/facet variant; ir.rs:21-27 names its
own gap), ADDRESS (implicit and unattested). Missing: PROJECT (the lens lives
in contract::facet, never in the ISA), ROTATE, SHIFT/NEIGHBOUR/STENCIL
(mask_shift_morton is an ndarray primitive, not an ISA op), FIRST, and the
carrier transforms (range<->runs<->bounded words, ordinal mapping) entirely.
W1 = ADDRESS, W2a/W2b = carrier transforms + range-native terminals,
W3 = ROTATE, W4 = NEIGHBOUR.

AND THE LAW HANDS MASK-RISC A CONFORMANCE CRITERION IT DID NOT HAVE.
exec.rs:566 requires every scratch plane to be words_for(n_rows), so every
MaskOp today emits population-sized output. A bounded word window is a
legitimate focus-sized carrier; a mask unconditionally sized to the population
is not. So Seam B stops being a performance complaint and becomes a conformance
failure against the tier the crate belongs to -- a stronger reason to fix it,
and a criterion any future op can be checked against.

Membrane law recorded: higher layers may invent arbitrary cognition, but not new
population execution semantics -- they compile cognition into T1. Anti-zoo rule:
a new T1 primitive earns existence only by exposing a genuinely new zero-copy
operation the existing algebra cannot express by composition or fusion, with
fuse.rs as the precedent.

…old law is new, not back-dated

Two errors from earlier today, both mine, both caught in review within the hour.
Corrected in the plan and recorded as a prepended correction rather than edited
into the entry that made them.

ERROR 1 -- T1 AND T2 WERE FLATTENED. The previous commit said "mask-risc is
already T1's ISA". It is not. membrane-tiers.md:22 puts ndarray::simd / mask_* /
ternlog / popcount at T1; :23 puts plan_eval / execution / lowering at T2. The
receipt is one line of the crate: exec.rs:25 is `use ndarray::simd::{...}` --
mask-risc CONSUMES T1, which makes it T2 by the doctrine's own definition. The
plan file had stated the correct legend two sections earlier and then
contradicted it. The DuckDB analogy should have caught this: a planner is not
the vectorized primitive it dispatches.

Corrected: "Layer 0" is the photolithographic computational MEMBRANE spanning
two existing tiers, not a tier. T1 owns zero-copy primitive execution;
mask-risc is the T2 RISC plan language that composes those primitives without
exposing population mechanics upward.

ERROR 2 -- THE NEW LAW WAS BACK-DATED ONTO THE OLD DOCTRINE. The previous commit
called Seam B "a conformance failure against T1's own return contract". Under
the old wording it is not: membrane-tiers.md:22 lets T1 return "a mask, a count,
a lane descriptor -- never the population", and a full-length bitmap is still a
mask under that sentence. "Never the population" meant do not return rows or
arrays of the represented population; it never said a derived mask sized to N is
itself forbidden.

  OLD T1 LAW    may return a Mask; must not return the Population
  NEW FOLD LAW  a FOLD additionally may not materialize an N-sized derived
                representation when its compact consequence can stay a
                range / runs / bounded window / scalar

Pred::Range -> words_for(N) violates the NEW law. Recorded as a doctrine
sharpening, never as something already implied -- back-dating a constitutional
law leaves a crack anyone can later quote the existing table back through, and
the workspace's append-only regrade discipline exists to stop exactly that.

THE COROLLARY THAT KEEPS THE LAW USABLE: not every full mask is illegal. If a
consumer genuinely demands a population mask as its answer, producing one is
legitimate -- it simply is not a fold. mask_set_range over a full destination is
not forbidden code; it is misclassified execution when it happens inside a fold.
Hence the A/B split: COMBINE is zero-copy with compact carriers; RECONSTRUCT
crosses an explicitly named materialization boundary. Reconstruction is not a
fold and does not get to hide under the word.

AND THE GAP LIST READS BETTER SPLIT BY TIER: it is an EXPOSURE gap, not a
compute gap. T1 already ships mask_shift_morton and the strided matchers
(eq_u32_strided_to_mask, ternary_match_strided_to_mask). What is missing is all
at T2 -- ADDRESS integrity, compact bound terminals, bounded windows/runs,
ROTATE, the NEIGHBOUR/STENCIL and strided-PEEK exposures, PROJECT, FIRST. The
substrate is further along than the language exposing it, so most remaining work
is not inventing computation but making existing computation speak the fold
algebra without forcing an N-sized carrier between instructions. A cheaper
programme than the op list first suggested.

W6 is reframed accordingly: not "are writes expensive?" but "where should the
zero-copy program terminate and reconstruction become economically or
semantically justified?" -- the Rubicon in computational terms.

… under the law

Third correction of my own text today, and the one that would have hollowed out
the law. Caught in review within the hour.

THE LOOPHOLE, verbatim as written hours earlier: "a FOLD may not materialize an
N-sized derived representation when its compact consequence can stay a range /
runs / bounded window / scalar". That is size-conditional, and it sat two lines
below "folds are zero copy, period". The two are not equivalent. A fresh 12-word
bounded mask avoids an N-sized mask and still writes derived bytes -- so under
the stated law it is not a fold either, and the size-graded phrasing would have
let a future session argue that fourteen words is "basically zero-copy".

Restated without a size clause: foldhood is whether a derived software
representation is WRITTEN, never how big it is. Size affects reconstruction
economics; it never affects the definition of a fold.

  FOLD CARRIERS                    NOT FOLD RESULTS
  Count                            a populated bounded-mask buffer
  Any                              [u64; 12] filled from an intersection
  an ordinal                       Vec<Run>
  [lo, hi)                         a full mask
  base_word + length descriptor    ANY newly written derived buffer
  a run DESCRIPTOR that names
    rather than populates

A descriptor names; a buffer holds. Only the first is a fold carrier, at any
size.

COMPANION CORRECTION: T1 is not universally zero-copy, and the previous commit
implied it was. T1 contains primitives that write mask outputs --
mask_set_range, every *_to_mask compare, the import paths. Accurate: the Layer-0
FOLD SUBSET executes through T1 primitives zero-copy; T1 also contains
explicitly materializing primitives, and those are RECONSTRUCTION operations
when invoked that way. They stay legitimate substrate machinery; what the law
changes is their classification inside a Layer-0 program, never their right to
exist.

Which makes the A/B boundary exact: COMBINE writes no derived software buffer
and composes or reduces directly over canonical state; RECONSTRUCT is where the
first derived representation is deliberately written.

CONSEQUENCE FOR W2b, immediate and concrete -- the obvious implementation is
disqualified:

  WRONG   Range x resident mask -> WRITE a bounded mask -> Count / Any
  RIGHT   peek only the intersecting resident words -> AND in registers
          -> Count / Any

And this is the clean case for the anti-zoo rule licensing a NEW T1 primitive: a
fused popcount(a[i] & b[i]) accumulated over a word span cannot be expressed by
the existing algebra without an intermediate buffer, so it exposes a genuinely
new zero-copy operation rather than a convenience. The descriptor crosses; the
intersection never exists as bytes. Filed as D-WFL-T1-FUSED with a differential
gate against mask_and + popcount_batch_u64 over the same span.

Gap list reworded: not "bounded windows and runs" as missing carriers, but
compact addressing / window DESCRIPTORS, direct bounded REDUCTIONS, and
optionally named RECONSTRUCTION of runs or windows when a consumer genuinely
demands the buffer.

…as drifting into an anti-cache position

Fourth correction of my own text today, and it has the same shape as the other
three: a law stated slightly harder than the thing it was protecting.

THE DRIFT. Across three sections today the zero-copy DEFINITION slid into an
anti-cache POSITION. "A fold is zero-copy" stays exactly true, and writing a
bounded mask stays not-a-fold. What does NOT follow is that writing one is a
sin. It is a cache decision, with its own economics.

The real boundary was never copy vs no-copy. It is RECOMPUTE-OR-FREEZE vs
CONTINUOUSLY MAINTAIN.

  FOLD         canonical state -> zero-copy computation -> consequence
  CACHE MISS   fold consequence -> materialize it ONCE, deliberately
  CACHE HIT    cached mask -> zero-copy peek -> ~11 ns

If a cached result is callable in ~11 ns, discarding it because it once crossed
a materialization boundary would be absurd. 64K cached masks are welcome: no
sweeping, no incremental refresh, no coherence work, no CPU while dormant.
Frozen ducks -- and frozen is the point. Marching 64K ducks around every cycle
is the disaster, and that was always the enemy; storage never was.

Ruling: materialization is allowed when its amortized retrieval value earns it.
What is forbidden is entropy accumulation solely to keep derived state current.
So COMBINE vs RECONSTRUCT is an EXECUTION decision -- discard / cache / persist
-- not the permanent type distinction the earlier entries implied.

INVALIDATION BY KEY MISMATCH, NEVER BY UPDATE. A world change must not walk 64K
entries:

  CacheKey = DatasetVersion + RowDomain + lens/ClassView + program
           + focus/input identity + external-edge snapshot

  new DatasetVersion -> old entries stay FROZEN (zero work)
                     -> request -> MISS -> replay -> optionally re-cache

And that key IS the ReplaySpec, field for field. The replay descriptor and the
cache key are one artifact used two ways: as a recipe it regenerates the answer,
as a key it memoizes it. That identity is why invalidation can be free -- a
descriptor built from owned identities either matches the world or does not, and
nothing must be swept to discover which. The two doctrines were the same object
all along.

The economics are memoization economics, not a prohibition:
C_cache = C_lookup + p_miss * C_replay + amortized C_materialize, against
C_always_replay = C_replay.

The ~11 ns is labelled a PREMISE, not a measurement -- the same discipline
applied to the 1.7 ns figure. A cached-mask lookup cost must itself be measured
before policy leans on it.

Policy that follows: novel -> replay; frequent -> cache; historical truth ->
persist; stale -> ignore and do NOT maintain. A reused operator may carry both a
ReplaySpec and a hot entry: same domain+version gives the cached answer, a
different context replays the operator against it. Memory and thought-reuse at
once, with no maintenance treadmill.

W2b is rescoped rather than changed: its fold arm still must not write the
intersection, but writing one is now priced as a cache decision instead of
failing as a sin.

… sibling physical plans

The resolution of five sections written today that read as "fold good, mask
bad". None retracted; all were being read as a preference when only one of them
was a definition.

FOLD and MASK are sibling first-class execution strategies. Neither is
universally preferred. "Folds are zero copy, period" stays exactly true -- it
defines what a FOLD IS, never what the machine is permitted to do.

FOLD is attractive when output entropy is low: Count, Any, Bound, First, a
descriptor, an answer consumed once. MASK is attractive when the mask itself has
computational value: reused many times, shared by many thoughts, AND/OR/TERNLOG
fan-out, ~11 ns lookup, a resident attention/focus plane, an expensive
derivation worth caching. At the point a mask is reused twelve thousand times,
insisting on recomputation because folds are pure is self-sabotage. Elect MASK
if C_build + C_reuse < C_repeated_fold, or if a later operation genuinely wants
mask algebra. Both are simultaneously correct at 64K: thought A folds because it
is asked once; thought B folds once, masks, and is reused by 12,000 thoughts.

SO THE RULE GOVERNS THE TRANSITION, NOT THE BYTES: crossing from fold-native to
mask-native execution must be deliberate and visible at the T2 planning
membrane. Once MASK is elected there is no shame in behaving like a mask engine.
Forbidden only:

  the planner believes it is executing a fold
          -> a helper silently allocates words_for(N)
          -> everything downstream is mask-native
          -> and NOBODY MADE THE DECISION

THIS RESTATES SEAM B MORE PRECISELY THAN EVERY EARLIER FRAMING -- performance
complaint, T1 conformance failure, fold-law violation, all circling it. The
defect in Pred::Range is NOT that it writes a mask. It is that the planner can
neither elect that nor decline it: there is exactly one path, so the choice does
not exist. Seam B is an ABSENT DECISION, not a present mask. It is fixed when
both paths exist and the plan records which was taken -- not when the mask
disappears.

The BBB question becomes answerable: who decided this computation should become
a mask, and on what basis? Static plan knowledge suffices to start (terminal
Count -> FOLD; reuse_count > 1 -> consider MASK; a ~11 ns cached mask -> almost
certainly MASK); DuckDB-style dynamic costing can follow. This is
pipeline-vs-materialize, a solved shape.

W2b IS RESPECIFIED AGAIN, and this supersedes its "must not write" arm: it must
demonstrate BOTH legal paths over identical semantics -- fold-native
(Range n resident -> Count/Any, no second mask) and mask-native (-> a
bounded/cached mask, because a consumer reuses it) -- differentially checked
against each other and the oracle. The "zero derived buffers" counter now scopes
to the fold arm only.

And D-WFL-T1-FUSED is upgraded from optimization to ENABLER: without a fused
popcount(a & b) over a span there is no intermediate-buffer-free path, so the
fold-native arm does not exist at all. The primitive CREATES the choice -- which
is exactly why Seam B had no decision in it. That raises it from nice-to-have to
W2b-blocking.

…ong, not the substance

Corrects the AXIS of the sibling-plans entry from minutes earlier; its substance
stands. "FOLD path vs MASK path" implied that electing to mask means giving up
zero-copy. It does not.

Two datasets can be folded and masked against each other with NO materialization
at all, and that is not a compromise -- it is probably the ideal Layer-0
operation:

  dataset A --fold--+
                    +- AND / TERNLOG / gate --> tiny answer
  dataset B --fold--+
        no mask population ever exists

The membership relation lives logically, in registers; the result is a Count, an
Any, a [lo,hi), a First, a next focus. The photolithography metaphor lands
exactly here: shine two patterns through each other and measure where the light
survives -- you do not manufacture a transparency showing every surviving pixel.

THREE INDEPENDENT AXES, NOT ONE BINARY:

  OPERATORS          CARRIERS           MATERIALIZATION CHOICE
  fold               canonical lane     fused / zero-copy
  mask / ternlog     range              materialized bitmap
  project            descriptor
  rotate             resident mask
  neighbour          cached mask
  reduce             ...

THE ENTROPY PRINCIPLE THAT FALLS OUT, and it is the sharpest statement of the
arc: representation entropy should follow ANSWER entropy. "Do these two
million-row semantic regions intersect?" carries about one bit; constructing
125 KB of mask to discover it is the obscenity -- and 125 KB is not rhetorical,
it is Seam B's measured number at N=1M. "How many overlap?" is 32-64 bits, also
fused. Whereas "give me the overlap, six later thoughts will manipulate it
spatially" justifies the bitmap, which is then the low-entropy working
representation RELATIVE TO ITS FUTURE WORKLOAD even though it dwarfs the
immediate scalar.

So the BBB's precise question is not "fold or mask?" but: is this membership
relation transient algebra, or has it been PROMOTED to a mask carrier? That
promotion is the deliberate boundary. Everything the previous entry says about
elections being visible at T2 is right; only the axis needed fixing.

W2b RESTATED A FINAL TIME -- both arms mask:

  W2b-A  Range x resident -> FUSED masking -> Count / Any  (no result mask)
  W2b-B  Range x resident -> masking -> a MATERIALIZED bounded mask

Same masking semantics, different result carrier. W2b-B carries a burden W2b-A
does not: it must NAME and MEASURE the downstream reuse that justifies the
carrier. A materialization with no demonstrated consumer FAILS the arm. That is
what making the promotion deliberate actually costs.

Shortest form of the whole doctrine: fold the datasets, mask the folds,
materialize only when the mask itself is worth keeping.

…ve the whole arc was circling

Subsumes the six fold-law entries written today. None of them is wrong; all were
one level too low.

THE PRIMITIVE: mask algebra is globally NON-MATERIALIZING by default. A mask
EXPRESSION denotes membership; it does not imply a bitmap exists.
Materialization occurs only at an explicit TERMINAL, when the membership set
itself is requested as a carrier.

That is stronger and more accurate than "folds are zero-copy", because it lets
folding, masking, ternlog, gating, projection and reduction all participate in
ONE zero-materialization algebra. The fold was never the whole trick. The trick
is that the expression can remain unevaluated as population state all the way to
a low-entropy terminal -- DuckDB's pipeline insight in a semantic substrate.

Three concepts this arc collapsed for a full day: MASKING (a Boolean/ternlog/
gating OPERATION, may be entirely zero-materialization); MASK EXPRESSION (a
composition, still need not exist as a bitmap); MATERIALIZED MASK (an actual
bitmap, chosen because its BITS are useful downstream). Collapsing the first
into the third is exactly why the discussion oscillated between "masks are
wonderful" and "masks violate folds" -- both true, of different referents.

ClassView x WideFieldMask were designed for this. WideFieldMask is a field-
PARTICIPATION currency, not a tiny bitmap. Stack the apertures optically and
measure what survives; do not manufacture a new transparency after every
aperture. Cognition and rendering are the same photolithographic machine with
different lenses and terminals, and neither inherently needs a population mask.

THE DEFECT RELOCATES, and this is read-verified in ir.rs:

  Terminal::Keep{mask} (:184) -- "The final mask itself stays in `mask` (a
  scratch slot the caller reads back); nothing is reduced." That IS the
  materialization election. Count/Any/All and the masked reductions never
  request the membership set as a carrier.

  But MaskOp::And{a,b,dst} is documented `dst = a & b`, and EVERY MaskOp is an
  assignment to a destination slot. So the ops destroy at level N-1 precisely
  the choice the terminals encode at level N -- and exec.rs:566 then forces
  every slot to words_for(n_rows).

Ruling: MaskOp must not semantically mean "produce a Scratch mask". It must mean
CONTRIBUTE TO A MASK EXPRESSION. Scratch is one possible physical LOWERING,
never the semantics.

So Pred::Range -> Scratch is a SYMPTOM, not the disease. Every earlier framing
of Seam B -- performance complaint, T1 conformance failure, fold-law violation,
absent decision -- was chasing one op. Fixing Range alone leaves And, Or, Xor,
AndNot and Ternlog all writing full planes. The correction belongs to the
execution model.

AND HALF THE "MISSING PRIMITIVES" DISSOLVE INTO LOWERING RULES. The fused
popcount(a & b) of D-WFL-T1-FUSED is not a bespoke instruction -- it is what a
fuser emits for MaskExpr -> Terminal::Count. fuse.rs already collapses a Boolean
tree into one ternlog; what it does not do is fuse across the op -> terminal
boundary, which is exactly the boundary this ruling moves. Every "missing op"
gets re-audited against this before any is minted: a primitive a fusion rule
could emit is not a primitive.

Why it took a day, recorded so it is not repeated: the design already encoded
the distinction (Keep vs Count; WideFieldMask as participation, not population).
What was never written down is the SEMANTICS of MaskOp, so every reading
defaulted to its physical lowering, and "Mask x ClassView/WideFieldMask -> Mask"
was read as "allocate a bitmap" when the arrow only ever meant "denotes
membership". An unstated semantics will always be read as its implementation.
The compounding error was mine: six escalating laws about FOLDS, each corrected

…dy in the tree, in fragments

Twin of the mask ruling, one level over, plus a cross-repo inventory that found
most of the proposal already built.

THE RULING: a varnode is not a buffer. R2IL varnodes carry behavioral
DEPENDENCIES, not an obligation to materialize their values. v2 = ternlog(v0,v1)
may never exist as bytes. Compiler instinct reads "v0 = ...; v1 = AND(v0,...)"
as allocate-a-representation-per-name; the intended semantics is SSA in a fused
dataflow engine, where only a terminal requesting membership as a carrier forces
bytes. Exactly the mask error, transposed.

THE FRAGMENTS, read-verified at OGAR 5055b06 and r2sleigh 99d2553:

- ogar-r2il's own module doc: "proxy glue: r2sleigh's R2IL opcode set as an
  ogar_loco::Vocabulary, plus the MASKED LANE PROJECTION that re-reads one
  already-written body under any LaneShape WITHOUT REBUILDING IT." That clause
  is the non-materializing re-projection this arc spent a day deriving --
  already shipped, in another repo, under another name. Surface: project(),
  project_r2il(), r2il_mask(), CallMask{shape: LaneShape}.
- ogar-loco/src/basin.rs:94-98: "Orchestration is agnostic; the thinking IR is a
  caller... ogar-r2il plugs its vocabulary and codebooks in." The wrapper is
  Vocabulary; the seam exists and nothing needs minting.
- ogar-r2il carries NO r2sleigh dependency by design: 82 arities as a table,
  pinned to the source enum by a drift test.
- LOCO-ORCHESTRATION-GAP.md: R2IL occupies one classid vocabulary while query,
  NARS-tactic and Blockly occupy their own through the same registry.

TWO CORRECTIONS TO THE PREMISE, both read-verified:

1. r2il is STRONGLY TYPED, not "nontyped". r2sleigh/doc/r2il.md: "a
   strongly-typed intermediate language based on Ghidra's P-code operations.
   Every operation has explicit input and output varnodes with known sizes and
   address spaces." It exists to fix ESIL's untypedness. This STRENGTHENS the
   design: it types the MACHINE (sizes, spaces), never the MEANING -- precisely
   the "keep the opcode table embarrassingly mechanical" property worth
   protecting. ABI-friendliness comes from sized varnodes + explicit spaces +
   serde + the arity table, not from absent types.

2. NAME COLLISION, filed as ISS-TWO-THINGS-ARE-NAMED-R2IL-AT-OPPOSITE-ENDS-OF-
   THE-LADDER. membrane-tiers.md:24-25 places an "R2IL" at T3 ("emits T3
   artifacts... its ceiling IS T3's; door-knocker test") beside the Java facade
   and low-code. The R2IL of this proposal is behavioral microcode far below
   that. Two things named R2IL at opposite ends of the ladder is exactly how T1
   and T2 got flattened this morning. Whichever keeps the name, the other must
   be renamed before either is built against.

THE JOINING SENTENCE: R2IL is not the harvested representation of machine code.
R2IL is the vocabulary-neutral behavioral microcode for masked thinking.
Harvesting via r2sleigh/ruff is one PRODUCER of R2IL programs; ogar-loco
orchestrates them; classid selects their vocabulary; and the substrate executes
their mask/fold expressions without materializing intermediate populations
unless a terminal explicitly requests one.

And the whole doctrine, shorter than this arc's Layer-0 prose: SPOG says what
exists. ClassView says how to see it. ogar-loco says what to do next. R2IL says
how the thought behaves. Mask/fold algebra executes it without constructing what
it can merely observe.

Keep cognition OUT of the opcode table -- no NARS_REVISION, EMPATHY, CAUSE or
ANALOGY opcodes; that destroys the entire advantage. Cognition lives in
bindings, composition, macro discovery, selection, focus, terminal
interpretation and the Rubicon.

Labelled CONJECTURE, because no motif mining has been run: the harvest re-reads
as millions of tiny programs humans already wrote to transform, compare, gate,
branch, select, normalize, search and decide, over which BPE/macro mining would
discover reusable behavioral motifs -- promotable to callable operators and
bindable to different classid-selected vocabularies.

…and is a sandbox

Three of four load-bearing claims verified against the tree; one citation did
not resolve. Recording what checks out, flagging what does not.

THREE CONVERGENCES, never to be conflated:
  TARSKI   have I exhausted the consequences?   X_{n+1} = X_n
  SHANNON  am I still learning anything?         dH ~ 0
  JC       is the apparent information bigger than substrate noise,
           dependence and representation drift?

Tarski gives the Wabe's "delta == empty" a REASON. On a finite lattice with
monotone operators the inflationary chain must stop, and its stopping point is
the least fixed point of the admitted operators. Lattice termination, not a
done-thinking detector.

But ANDNOT, retraction, confidence decay, inhibition and counterfactual
replacement DESTROY monotonicity -- legal, but a different phase. Two-stroke
engine: monotone closure, then non-monotone revision, then closure again. The
D-WFL recurrence is the monotone stroke ONLY, while section 5's "ANDNOT
explained" is already the other one, so the first slice crosses the phase
boundary and must say so.

VERIFIED in crates/causal-edge/src/layout.rs:
- bits 59-60 CausalTopology {Direct, IndirectKnownIntermediates,
  IndirectUnknownIntermediates, Unknown}, documented as an "additive factual
  view over TrustTexture" -- ONE physical field, two lenses, not two variables.
- bits 61-63 ReasoningBand {Surface, Association, Relation, Causal,
  Counterfactual, Perspective, Meta, Transcendent}, with explicit orthogonality
  notes to CausalMask, the inference mantissa's -6 slot, and direction.

THE BAND IS A SEMANTIC SANDBOX. A donor thought at band = Relation with f=.81,
c=.94 and spectacular information gain must NOT be silently promoted to causal
knowledge. High IG makes it a candidate causal investigation, requiring an
explicit Causal-band operation before any new CE64 is written. Counterfactual
may explore without mutating factual causal state. Usefulness is not causal
licensing.

A citation to "#1224" for that distinction DOES NOT RESOLVE -- no #1224 anywhere
in .claude/ or docs/, and no board text matching "causal licensing" or
"usefulness is not". The principle stands on its own merits and on the
orthogonality notes in the source; the reference is recorded as uncited rather
than repeated as established.

ReasoningBand::Meta earns its keep with no meta-opcode: bind the fold/mask
machinery to the thought programs and transfer histories themselves.

JC IS THE BRAKE, AND THE ENTROPY HALF DOES NOT EXIST. Verified present in
crates/jc/src/: jirak, cartan, weyl, drift, ewa_sandwich{,_3d}, reliability,
quorum, pearl, and stats (cohen_kappa, omega_total, phi, binary_association,
kr20, multiple_r_squared, eta_squared, the t-test family). But zero hits for
shannon/entropy across its source -- the information-gain half of any such
scheduler must be BUILT. Naming it is not having it; filed as a gap, not a
capability.

And the trap it must avoid is already an iron rule one level down. 500 candidate
thoughts sharing prefixes, vocabularies, R2IL motifs and masks are not
independent lottery tickets. Raw -sum p log p is a fine descriptive quantity; an
information-GAIN claim about this substrate needs dependence calibration,
because I-NOISE-FLOOR-JIRAK already establishes that classical IID
Berry-Esseen is wrong for these fingerprints. R_JC is therefore not one scalar:
it means "passes the relevant dependence, noise and reliability gates". The
scheduler is that iron rule's next consumer and gets no exemption for being
cognitive.

Shape, for when it is built: X_{t+1} = X_t U (eligible H) F_H(X_t), with
U(H) = IG(H) * R_JC(H) / C_fold(H), stopping at the fixed point or earlier when
max U(H) < epsilon. G is a cheap eligibility GATE over currencies that already
exist, never one giant score.

…an the law it enforces

CodeRabbit's first real review since e977f9e (it had been rate-limited for nine
commits). All five verified against the files before acting; all five stood.

1. W2b GATE TREATED A POSITION-DEPENDENT SPAN AS A CONSTANT.
   `touched words == ceil(width/64)+1` is wrong: the count is
   floor((hi-1)/64) - floor(lo/64) + 1, i.e. <= ceil(width/64)+1, because a span
   straddling a word boundary touches one more word than an aligned one of the
   same width. Corrected at all three sites, and the arm must now test BOTH
   aligned and unaligned lo. This is precisely the failure this arc named in
   itself an hour earlier -- a gate stricter than the law it enforces -- which
   makes it the sixth instance of the same shape today.

2. THE DETERMINISM GATE USED AN INCOMPLETE IDENTITY. D-WFL-DET was defined over
   RowDomain + program while the replay contract lists far more, so a replay
   could return a plausible-but-wrong mask when an omitted input moved. The gate
   now ranges over the COMPLETE ReplaySpec identity -- row domain/snapshot,
   program identity, lens/ClassView identity, focus/carrier input, external-edge
   snapshot, deterministic parameters, Morton/Wabe mapping -- as a perturbation
   matrix, one arm per component plus the unperturbed bit-identical arm. A
   component whose perturbation changes nothing is either not an input or not in
   the spec; either way that is the finding. The can-it-fire twin applied to a
   determinism gate.

3. A LIVE BOARD ROW STILL PREFERRED THE RETRACTED AttestedPlanes<'a>.
   D-WFL-W1-AUTH named it the preferred enforcement shape; the retraction landed
   later and only in prepended sections, so a reader hitting that row got
   withdrawn guidance. The single W1 contract is now stated once: verify plane
   addresses and ordering against pinned canonical state at the attachment
   boundary, then zero-copy peeks during execution -- fold(peek(...)), no
   execution aggregate. The acceptance case is unchanged and still binding.

4. TIER ORDERING WAS REVERSED against its own table. "each strictly cheaper than
   the one above" read backwards over meta -> replay -> materialized, which is
   INCREASING cost. Now "strictly more expensive than the one above", in both
   the plan and the epiphany.

5. PROJECT AND FIRST HAD NO DISPOSITION in the wave mapping. PROJECT lands after
   W3 (the rotation must be measured before a lens op is worth exposing); FIRST
   is intentionally deferred and unscheduled -- no wave needs it, and under
   D-WFL-FUSE it may turn out to be a fusion rule rather than an op.

Board: the two stale STATUS_BOARD rows are corrected in a prepended section
rather than edited in place, per append-only.

All five verified against the files and fixed in a0350526. All five stood — no skips. Threads resolved.

W2b's gate treated a position-dependent span as a constant. The sharpest of the five. touched words == ceil(width/64)+1 is simply wrong: the count is floor((hi-1)/64) - floor(lo/64) + 1, so <= ceil(width/64)+1, because a span straddling a word boundary touches one more word than an aligned span of the same width. Corrected at all three sites, and the arm now has to test both aligned and unaligned lo. Worth naming plainly: this arc identified "a gate stricter than the law it enforces" as its own recurring failure about an hour before writing this one.

The determinism gate used an incomplete identity. Correct, and it was self-contradicting — the same document establishes that RowDomain + program is insufficient for replay, then defined the gate over exactly that pair. It now ranges over the complete ReplaySpec identity as a perturbation matrix: row domain/snapshot, program, lens/ClassView, focus/carrier input, external-edge snapshot, deterministic parameters, Morton/Wabe mapping — one arm each, plus the unperturbed bit-identical arm. A component whose perturbation changes nothing is either not an input or not in the spec, and either way that's the finding.

A live board row still preferred the retracted AttestedPlanes<'a>. True and worth more than a typo fix. The retraction landed in later prepended sections only, so a reader hitting D-WFL-W1-AUTH got withdrawn guidance — the hazard of append-only boards when a ruling reverses. The single W1 contract is now stated once: verify plane addresses and ordering against pinned canonical state at the attachment boundary, then zero-copy peeks during execution. The acceptance case is unchanged and still binding.

Tier ordering reversed. meta → replay → materialized is increasing cost, so "each strictly cheaper than the one above" read backwards against its own table. Fixed in both files.

PROJECT and FIRST had no disposition. Now stated: PROJECT lands after W3, because the rotation must be measured before a lens op is worth exposing; FIRST is intentionally deferred and unscheduled — no wave needs it, and under D-WFL-FUSE it may turn out to be a fusion rule rather than an op.

Still docs-only.

…probes; #1224 resolves as a negative receipt

- A frontier XOR-popcount is an observable that may feed Tarski, Shannon and
  JC analyses; it is none of them. Fenced before it was ever written as a rule.
- Roaring-style density-adaptive containers belong under Terminal::Keep, not
  in place of the non-materializing mask expression.
- Five cross-domain imports (retina read-as-contrast, inhibition of return,
  Go erosion, view-selected codebook geometry, aperture-as-resolution) recorded
  as unscheduled probes with falsifiers in plan §9; the non-monotone ones are
  placed outside Tarski closure by construction.
- Correction: #1224 exists, withdrawn and closed unmerged, its causal-licensing
  helpers deleted at zero consumers. Cited as a negative receipt only.
- facet.rs i >> 2 is G3D4::group_of, a carving shift, not a rung ladder;
  rung-as-prefix-depth stays conjecture.

…ng consumers

The prior commit let a zero-consumer measurement read as the reason #1224
was withdrawn. It was withdrawn for two architectural errors and an invented
governance model; the consumer count only meant the deleted helpers needed
no re-homing. Corrected in the live plan and by prepend on the board.

…EAM-INVERTED-BOTH-WAYS

Domain semantics crossed down into the thinking substrate while generic
counterfactual-replay algebra crossed up and was stranded under dismech_*
filenames (80% of 1,941 planner lines by #1224's own measurement). Both
directions are still in the tree; re-homing a helper was never sufficient
because the seam itself must be re-established.

Withdraws the rename-plus-shim step: a rename or a feature flag preserves the
inversion. Salvage is asymmetric per line (extract generic / move domain to
ogar-dismech / delete entangled). Records the measured edges: the contract
mirror's sole consumer is the parity assert in lance-graph-ogar; the planner
modules have zero production consumers. Two acceptance tests, negative first.

medcare-cohorts already binds the real ogar_dismech mint (correct direction);
medcare-dismech has no lance-graph or OGAR dependency at all; freeze.rs
documents a follow-up to route through the lance-graph-contract mirror once
the lock bumps, which would be the first domain-side consumer of the mirror.
Redirect it to ogar-dismech, which must grow the typed parse. Adds the third
acceptance condition: no consumer may acquire a mirror edge during the cut.

must be guarded by lo == hi => 0; the determinism matrix must require replay
to reacquire every ReplaySpec component but demand a different mask only for
perturbations known to move the oracle; the Tarski closure reaches the least
fixed point above the seed, not the lattice-wide one.

Round 3 — three findings on 9fd6956d, all verified against the files, all valid, fixed in 78c5016b:

  1. Empty range[65, 65) made the span formula return 1. The W2b gate now states lo == hi ⇒ 0 touched words first, applies floor((hi-1)/64) - floor(lo/64) + 1 only for lo < hi, and tests empty, aligned and unaligned lo.
  2. Determinism matrix — identity reacquisition and output sensitivity are now separate requirements: replay must reacquire every ReplaySpec component; a different mask is required only for perturbations known to change the oracle result, with at least one such perturbation per component class so the matrix can fire.
  3. Tarski — the closure reaches the least fixed point containing X_0 (above the seed), not the lattice-wide one. Corrected in the plan; the board row records the same correction (append-only).

All three were outside the diff, so no threads to resolve.
