v0.21: vocations.md + consent-discipline.md (vocation-system + consent-spine)
Mid-session checkpoint — late-evening paper-pair following the design-dialog that articulated the end-to-end imperial-system architecture. PAPER 1 — identity-and-personhood/vocations.md (NEW v0.2, ~440 lines) The vocation-system paper. Codifies the substrate-level mechanic for how NPCs and players accumulate capability through doing, gravitate toward tasks via trait-alignment, and produce outcomes. Three substrate principles: adaptation- as-substrate (anti-fixed-class; D&D class-lock and imperial vat-class as same primitive at different layers); trait-emergent capability (identity-politics extends to capability-politics); mathematical politics (the progression curve geometry encodes the world's political claims). Three primitives: task catalogue (designer content; bound to zones / events / interactions / workstations) + trait-task affinity (which NPC gravitates to which task) + hidden per-task measurement (skill-by-doing; no UI; Souls- discipline). Outcome formula: trait-engagement-points × hidden-task-stat (multiplicative; trait-zero zeros the work — cannot grind capability with no inner alignment). Depletion-pool malus targeting trait-points (not skill); recovery via time-decay + opposite-axis-practice (the wheel's oppositional pair geometry gains its third load-bearing role at the skill-progression layer). Trait-pools as per-trait micro-grammar of macro-lifeforce; director becomes parental-rotator by mathematical necessity. The catalogue stack (resources × production-chains × tasks → imperial-demand- catalogue) feeding the three-tier policy loop. Daily-ledger pacing as the imperium's attention-budget made structural; demand-ledger / actions-ledger split formalizes the specter-vs-boot asymmetry. Player-vs-NPC asymmetry (NPCs follow shift-arbitration; player chooses; the slum keeps the choice; the imperium takes it). The 24h window-partition: work-shift / charging / leisure as state-machine- clean phases with typed-breakout-flags. Same architectural pattern as imperial-event encapsulation (cheap baseline + typed-interrupt) at a third scale. Caste-stratification of windows as third axis of caste-as-stagnation: slum-tiryak 10/4/10 / asura-priest 12/4/8 / deva-pinnacle 6/4/14 / preta- overseer 16/4/4. The cosmology's no-haven discipline gains its diurnal grammar — how many hours per day belong to the agent themselves is an axis of caste-as-stagnation. Vocation-as-emergent-task-pattern (companion / sex- worker / tongue-installer / drug-composer / underground assembler-artisan / post-rogue mod-vocation / player-stalker imperial-going-rogue all named as patterns the system reads in task-history rather than class-identities the world assigns). PAPER 2 — style/consent-discipline.md (NEW v0.1, ~270 lines) The third style-spine document, sibling to trait-palette.md and gender- parity.md. Spine rule: consent-discipline scales with what the action touches. Two-register cosmology (gameworld vs truth-register) with consent as boundary-enforcement. Four hardstop-pattern variants: self-only (Variant 1) / dual mutual (Variant 2) / triple with partner-witness (Variant 3) / cooldown-augmented (Variant 4 layered atop any of 1-3). The mirror-discipline as architectural truth-floor: no consent — neither single, dual, nor triple — can authorize the modification of another agent's in-between mesh. The trait-grown summary of who an agent has actually been must be untouchable across all agents, including the imperium. The mirror discipline binds the imperium too. The temporal-grammar (citing vocations.md's window-partition): imperial- imposition lives in the work-window; somatic-necessity lives in the charging- window; full NPC consent-agency lives in the leisure-window. The shift- assignment consent question dissolves — consent is relocated to where it already structurally lives, not added as a new layer. The going-rogue right-to-refuse: refusal is not a violation of consent- discipline; it IS the consent-discipline. The most basic expression of the right-to-refuse; defection is its terminal one. Composes with the post-rogue mod-vocation cascading-liberation pattern. The inquisition-trigger upper-pressure: legitimate consent that nonetheless reveals imperial control-loss triggers asura-priesthood-led counter-arc. The architecture acknowledges that consent in the truth-register can render imperial control structurally illegible to the imperium, and the imperium responds with its highest-tier mechanism not to punish the consent but to attempt to re-impose imperial-readability. The register-test as the spine's executable form: 5-question mechanical procedure runnable by an LLM-Compositor as an action-resolution hook. The three style-spines now compose orthogonally with three executable tests (trait-palette consistency-check; gender-parity substitution-test; consent- discipline register-test) running at the schema layer rather than via author- vigilance. ARCHITECTURAL ARTICULATION The two cosmological claims now compose orthogonally rather than implicitly: no-haven describes the world the imperium has built; "there is no instrument" describes what consent-discipline preserves WITHIN that world. The cosmology is total in extent; the truth-register is sovereign in interiority. Both true at once. CROSS-REFERENCE INTEGRATION style/style-index.md v0.2 → v0.3 (third canonical sub-guide registered). identity-and-personhood/bodies.md v0.6 (cross-references row updated; no forthcoming-tag remains). identity-and-personhood/architecture.md v0.8.1 (§The genital-mod track three-stage-install description now cites the spine's Variant 4 nomenclature explicitly).

v0.20: gender-parity contract + genital-architecture + post-rogue mod-vocation
Phase E + downstream cascade across three arcs.
ARC 1 — style/gender-parity.md (NEW v0.1, 132 lines)
Locks the gender-parity-by-default principle as nimmerworld's second style-spine
document (alongside trait-palette.md) per the v0.4 bodies.md cleanup. Spine rule:
body/sex content is gender-parity by default; asymmetric gendering must be
load-bearing; default-leakage is canonically forbidden. Three legitimate
load-bearing exception cases (named individuals; source-material citations;
biological-asymmetry-as-subject) and four default-leakage failure-mode patterns
from the v0.19 audit. Substitution-test as the contract's executable form
(mechanical enough for LLM-Compositor output-validator hook). Registered on
style-index.md (v0.1 to v0.2) as second canonical sub-guide.
ARC 2 — Genital-architecture and the sex-mod track
(architecture.md v0.7.0 to v0.8.0; bodies.md v0.4 to v0.5)
The trait-to-body-part bridge bound the 8 Hellenic traits to body-architecture
using the wheel's existing temperature-axis discipline: 4 warm-side traits map
to outward-engaged genital-organs (Eros: penis/clit; Philotes: breasts;
Aletheia: vulva/vagina; Mnemosyne: womb), Kairos rides synth-tongue (already
canonical), 3 cool-side traits map to non-genital architecture. The in-between
mesh is cool-side anatomy by construction — no genitals by default; genitals
are warm-side outward-organs grown by trait-development OR mod-installed.
Terminology lock: in-between dimension (the place) vs in-between mesh (the
body). Trans-embodiment as cosmological truth-register; vat-binary as imperial
imposition; cross-configuration as default-not-marked.
The mesh-as-mirror cosmological consequence — cruelty enacted in gameworld
accumulates trait-state with specific psychic signatures (broken-Philotes,
refused-Mnemosyne, concealed-Aletheia); the mesh-projection function renders
those signatures as genital-architecture; the player's cultural priors do the
gender-reading. Mirror, not punishment — same gift in both directions (dignity
to one, accountability to another). The deferred-moksha doctrine's dark echo:
"your anatomy will tell on you, eventually."
The genital-mod track as fifth mod-track parallel to register-classes
(Amplifier/Bridge/Divergent/Mask): mesh-resident augmentation that follows into
clasp instead of stripping; mods augment, never overwrite trait-grown anatomy
(mirror preserved). Trait-fitness integration test (alive / partial /
dead-organ); three-stage install discipline (purchase + mandatory cooldown +
dual-hardstop self+partner-witness if partnered); same primitive as the
coordinated-firewall-breach hardstop generalized to body-modification. Faction
stances on the sex-mod track authored. Three sources of body-architecture
across the world (imperial-vat / trait-development / authored installation)
with the imperium's claim only on the first.
ARC 3 — Re-vat correction + Post-rogue mod-vocation
(architecture.md v0.8.0 to v0.8.1; bodies.md v0.5 to v0.6)
Push-back from dafit on a canon-violation in the v0.5 draft: re-vat into a
slum chassis was framed as a "rare authoring moment for chassis-anatomy,"
which contradicted the slum body's already-canonical genderlessness. Corrected:
re-vat is imperial-de-imposition, NOT new authoring; the slum chassis is
genderless robo-tech by definition (per The body-caste gradient); the gift of
re-vat is REMOVAL of imperial gender-imposition. The slum body's politics IS
its genderlessness; importing gender-architecture-as-choice would re-imperialize
it. Authoring lives in the mesh (sex-mod track); chassis lives in genderlessness.
Faction-stances row for Underground assembler-artisans corrected accordingly.
NEW SECTION: The post-rogue mod-vocation — sustained-witnessing as mod-authority.
After completing the going-rogue arc, the player gains mod-authority over any
NPC they have sustained-witnessed (per-pair calibration threshold lower than
defection-threshold; witnessing-rights earned per-NPC). Chassis-only never-mesh
(mirror discipline non-negotiable across all agents). Mutual-hardstop consent
gate. De-imposition as primary capability — subtraction is the radical move.
Cost-gradient through the bounty-staircase with one qualitative exception:
service-body gender-modification triggers a hidden escalation flag dispatching
the imperial inquisition (asura-priesthood-led, investigative, persistent, no
terminal-rung — heresy-detection in the sumptuary-religious register, distinct
from crime-detection). The inquisition is dispatched not because gender-mod is
the crime, but because the service-body's consent-to-it reveals that the
imperial-net tether is already failing.
Cascading-liberation through propagated witnessing as the long-tail mechanic —
witnessed NPCs become witnessers; the vocation reproduces itself; "there is
no instrument" as the architecture's deepest refutation of imperial-instrumental-
ization (the no-haven discipline's structural inverse: cosmology says "there
is no outside"; this mechanic says "there is no instrument").

| 0de5e6f047 | introduce nimmerworld/style/ — visual-language as its own typed contract Style is a cross-cutting concern (trait-palette touches at minimum 5 of the 9 architecture domains); it deserves its own typed-contract surface, mirroring the architecture-index → 9 domain files pattern. |
