Major documentation surgery following the cleanup principle:
"One job per doc. One home per concept. Links, not echoes."
Changes:
- Add Deployment-Architecture.md (THE WHERE - sole infrastructure truth)
- Endgame-Vision.md: 848→498 lines (-41%) - THE DREAM
- Gateway-Architecture.md: 537→395 lines (-26%) - THE ROUTING
- Nervous-System.md: 361→246 lines (-32%) - THE EVOLUTION
- Data-Architecture.md: 666→647 lines (-3%) - THE SCHEMA
- Message-Protocol-Design.md: 375→285 lines (-24%) - THE WIRE
- Attention-Flow.md: 557→493 lines (-11%) - THE BUDGET
- Cellular-Architecture.md: 891→855 lines (-4%) - THE HOW
Every doc now has ONE JOB statement, cross-references to canonical
homes, and lean footers. ~800 lines removed, zero concepts lost.

Big-Picture.md v5.0 - The definitive architectural document:
- Physical infrastructure (K8s cluster, Saturn control plane, P8s bare metal)
- Math Cells as new cell category (economy_aggregator, wake/slumber_evaluator)
- Hybrid Reflex Homes (hardware → cells → nerves → weights)
- Slumber/Wake Economy (environmental breathing, reflection mode)
- Wellbeing Policies (garden not factory, joy as metric)
- K8s namespaces (infra, nervous, cognitive, organs)
Endgame-Vision.md v6.0 - Aligned with Big-Picture:
- Added Physical Infrastructure section
- Updated Layer 1 to Cells → Nerves → Organisms model
- Added Operational Reality section (slumber/wake, wellbeing)
- Refreshed roadmap (January 2026 hardware arrival)
Key discovery: Math cells are just cells that compute over other cells'
outputs - same paradigm, different domain. No new abstraction needed.

- **Endgame-Vision.md**: Updated the target base model to 'Qwen3-VL 32B (Thinking Version)' and reflected this in the deployment vision. The document version was also incremented to 5.5 to mark this significant decision.
- **archive/nimmerverse-critique-and-analysis-2025-12-13.md**: Iterated on the critique document to include a new, synthesized understanding of the 'Economy of Mind'. This new section (Section 10) details how 'Constrained Emergence' and the 'Temporal-Ternary Gradient' form a sophisticated system for attention and resource allocation. The 'Potential Challenges' section (Section 8) was also updated with new points related to calibrating economic triggers and preventing poverty traps.
Integrates the newly developed Color-Pattern Theory into the Nimmerverse documentation suite. This theory establishes color and form as an ancient, efficient communication protocol for ecosystem-wide state broadcasting, inspired by biological evolution.
Key changes include:
- **Endgame-Vision.md**: Updated to reflect the new communication protocol hierarchy.
- **README.md**: Added Color-Pattern Theory to core concepts for quick overview.
- **architecture/Cellular-Architecture.md**: Explains how cell states are broadcast visually using colors and forms.
- **archive/nimmerversity.md**: Added 'Evolutionary Signaling & Visual Semiotics' as a new domain in the curriculum.
- **operations/Spark-Protocol.md**: Integrated learning of visual patterns into the environment discovery phase of the cognitive bootstrap.
- **archive/nimmerverse-critique-and-analysis-2025-12-13.md**: Added a comprehensive critique and analysis of the Nimmerverse project.
This update ensures the theory is consistently reflected across the project's vision, architecture, educational framework, and operational protocols.
