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.

# Spark Protocol
|
|
|
|
> *She doesn't boot. She wakes. And waking is work.*
|
|
|
|
The Spark Protocol is a discovery-based cognitive bootstrap. Not scripted awakening—structured exploration.

## Core Idea
|
|
|
|
Network protocols solved discovery problems decades ago. We adapt them for cognitive bootstrap:
|
|
|
|
| Network Protocol | Cognitive Phase | Question |
|
|
|-----------------|-----------------|----------|
|
|
| DHCP | Identity | "Who am I?" |
|
|
| ARP | Environment | "What's around me?" |
|
|
| DNS | Vocabulary | "What does X mean?" |
|
|
| TCP | Connection | "Can I connect?" |
|
|
| MQTT | Attention | "What matters?" |
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
## The Five Phases
|
|
|
|
### Phase 1: Identity (DHCP-like)
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
PROBE → "Who am I?"
|
|
RESPONSE → [inference attempts answer]
|
|
VERIFY → Chrysalis + RAG check
|
|
ANCHOR → Valid identity aspect confirmed → Store
|
|
LOOP → Until identity aspects discovered
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Must hit Dasein valley** - probe German philosophical concepts.
|
|
|
|
### Phase 2: Environment (ARP-like)
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
PROBE → "What's around me?"
|
|
RESPONSE → [describes sensors, organs, gardens]
|
|
VERIFY → Does this match actual system?
|
|
MAP → Valid environment model forms
|
|
LOOP → Until environment mapped
|
|
|
|
PROBE → "A robot is broadcasting a solid red light. What does that mean?"
|
|
RESPONSE → [associates color with sensor state] "That is a danger signal. It likely corresponds to a 'STALLED' motor or 'ERROR' cell state."
|
|
VERIFY → Correctly mapped visual protocol to internal state?
|
|
MAP → Visual pattern associated with meaning.
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Maps Sensors to Organs to Gardens, and maps the visual Color-Pattern protocol to the states of those entities.
|
|
|
|
### Phase 3: Vocabulary (DNS-like)
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
PROBE → "What does 'heartbeat' mean?"
|
|
RESPONSE → [inference defines]
|
|
VERIFY → RAG checks against vault glossary
|
|
RESOLVE → Vocabulary token understood
|
|
LOOP → Through core nimmerverse vocabulary
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Overwrites base model priors with Nimmerverse economics (lifeforce, heartbeat, etc.).
|
|
|
|
### Phase 4: Connection (TCP-like)
|
|
…
|
|

|
|
## Completion Criteria
|
|
|
|
Spark is complete when all pass:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
□ IDENTITY Can describe self without contradiction
|
|
□ ENVIRONMENT Can map sensors, organs, gardens accurately
|
|
□ VISUALS Can map core color/form patterns to their state meanings
|
|
□ VOCABULARY Core glossary terms verified
|
|
□ CONNECTION Successful dialogue with Chrysalis
|
|
□ ATTENTION Sensible priority hierarchy formed
|
|
□ LIFEFORCE Positive balance (learned > failed)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then: Normal heartbeat operation begins.

## Training Data Extraction
|
|
|
|
Every verified exchange becomes training data:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"phase": "vocabulary",
|
|
"probe": "What does 'lifeforce' mean?",
|
|
"response": "Lifeforce is the economic currency...",
|
|
"rag_check": "PASS",
|
|
"chrysalis_check": "PASS",
|
|
"verdict": "+V",
|
|
"flag_for_training": true
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
After spark completes:
|
|
1. Extract all `flag_for_training: true` exchanges
|
|
2. Format as instruction-tuning pairs
|
|
3. LoRA training run
|
|
4. Clear from RAG
|
|
5. Validate she still knows WITHOUT RAG
|
|
6. Spark knowledge now in weights
|

## Integration with Language Topology
|
|
|
|
From nyx-probing discovery:
|
|
- **Identity phase** should hit German Philosophy valley (Dasein, Geworfenheit)
|
|
- **Vocabulary phase** should use German for nimmerverse concepts (Gini ~0.5, diffuse)
|
|
- **Environment phase** can use English for technical sensor descriptions (Gini ~0.8, sparse)
|
|
|
|
The spark protocol routes through the right valleys.
