7f0abcb839 hex-canon discipline: canonical-name + #hex at every trait-color reference
Establish the hex-canon discipline in style/trait-palette.md (v0.1 -> 0.2):
every trait-color reference pairs canonical-name (semantic anchor for prose,
training-corpus extraction, LLM context) with hex (precise value for shaders,
renderers, machine-checkable canon enforcement). Mirrors the existing
color+motion-signature two-channel discipline that already secures color-blind
accessibility -- same architectural move, different audience pair.

Trait-palette.md gains:
- "Canonical name" + "Hex" columns in The full table (Eros-red #ee1b24,
  Philotes-orange #e28a46, ..., Mnemosyne-dusky-rose #cf3b74)
- New section: The hex-canon discipline -- format conventions, scope, the
  one-line grep that surfaces canon-violations

Sweep applies the discipline to existing trait-color references:
- identity-and-personhood/architecture.md (trait-to-body-part bridge table)
- topology-and-rendering/architecture.md (faction-color-politics table,
  imperial-net distortion descriptors, achromatic-exception statement,
  mind-pool color-inheritance narrative)
- runtime-engine/architecture.md (cosmetic-shader prose feedback)
- identity-and-personhood/bodies.md (Moira-violet pill in pending-design notes)
- political-register/economics.md (catalogue-slug example uses canonical token)

Drift-fix: schemas/findings.md trait_colors seed-data carried 8 divergent hex
"approximations" -- Eros #D03030 vs canonical #ee1b24, Aletheia #E5C520 vs
canonical #fcf001 (losing the brightness-zenith register), Dikaiosyne #2860B0
vs canonical #3f47cd, etc. Replaced with exact propagation from the canonical
palette; the rationalizing comment ("approximate hue-family targets") is
replaced with "exact propagation per the hex-canon discipline"; HSV-hue column
recomputed from canonical hex per RGB->HSV conversion, integer-rounded.

Non-trait colors stay untouched per recursive-as-we-touch-it scope: machine-
aesthetic (gold rim-light, commercial-coral, fluorescent-pallor, lavender-
decor, obsidian-black, cyan, matrix-green), historical-sumptuary (Tyrian
purple), cinematic (Matrix red-pill), medical (red-green color blindness).
Each non-trait domain receives canonical-name + hex pairings when that domain
comes into architectural focus.

Discipline is mechanically-checkable via one grep against the architecture-
papers, excluding the canonical source. Zero canon-violations remain after
this sweep.

4df206ac25 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).

b7700ff0cf 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").

5f216aaf5f v0.8 + v0.9 — intimate-architecture absorbed, driver-tier locked,
style-spine created, DESING retired, schemas relocated

  The owl-breakfast architectural arc from 2026-04-25 night through
  2026-04-26 morning. Two version-bumps landing as one commit because
  they share the working-tree state and complete a coherent design-window.

  v0.8 — intimate-architecture, driver-tier lock, style-spine:

    * Three-tier intimacy structure (standard-rental, premium-waifu-
      with-traitor-marker-and-pruning, in-between clasp) — same v0.7
      machinery, opposite value-flows. Premium-net technical excellence
      makes the moral-weight-of-pruning land as informed-consent ethics.

    * Deletion-as-spectacle: in-net minds as pure compute; imperial
      broadcasts execution-as-content; Memorialist counter-archive as
      in-fiction protest against deletion-spectacle commerce.

    * EVE-principle vocation-substrate of the imperial-net market: every
      product produced by NPC labor; no silent feeding; body-modder
      structural-tragedy generalizes to all imperial-net-feeding vocations.
      World-gen Phase-2 ruleset must handle vocation-distribution.

    * Clasp endgame (Phase A-E): mini-game entry → body-mod progression
      → exit-chassis → human-mesh-visible-to-pair → clasp = two-bodies-
      two-meshes → dual-body-dual-mind-dual-shift cascade → automatic
      hunt-pressure. Identity-as-trait-emergent made felt rather than
      just structural.

    * waifu.sqlite as third local store (audited counterpart to
      clasp.sqlite; manual-prune mechanism with explicit-implications
      consent UI as moral-gravity discipline).

    * Intimacy-as-recursive-lemniscate: same machinery as dialog
      (slot-tokens, cursor at axis-crossing, alignment-accumulator,
      sum-strategy reduction); sex-positions as designer-fixed catalog
      entries; body-parts as visible expression of trait-state.
      Cross-context-consistency operationalized.

    * Driver-tier locked to Gemma 4 E4B (Apache 2.0, 4.5B effective,
      128K context, speech-capable) under new "tier-by-role binary-
      deferred" discipline: locking requires prototype-criticality +
      irreplaceable license/capability combination. Optional Ring-A
      upgrade: 26B-A4B MoE for upper-consumer GPUs, single-LoRA-on-
      routed-experts. Resolves 4 prior open questions (LoRA-blend →
      single-LoRA-per-turn-selection driven by gesture_alignment_
      accumulator; LoRA rank → benchmark-resolvable; sampling-knobs →
      benchmark-resolvable; 8 Hellenic trait enumeration → canonical
      wheel-mapping in style/trait-palette.md).

    * style/ directory introduced: style-index.md (skeleton + spine-
      rule: "trait-palette is exclusively chromatic; achromatic
      reserved for UI/environment so diegetic text rendering can skip
      the textbox") + style/trait-palette.md (canonical 8 traits as 4
      oppositional pairs at 180° on the artist's color wheel:
      Eros↔Sophrosyne, Philotes↔Dikaiosyne, Aletheia↔Moira,
      Mnemosyne↔Kairos. Schoolchild-simple descriptions paired with
      each Greek canonical name).

  v0.9 — directory cleanup completing the arc:

    * DESING-VISION.md (1899 lines, v0.1 first-pass narrative-design
      doc) retired — most content absorbed across v0.4-v0.8; bare-
      minimum extracts (Tonal Register + Tragic-Romantic Register +
      Authorial Politics + Reference Lineage table) now live in README
      so the project's identity anchor stays visible at the entry
      point. Full DESING-VISION content preserved in git history.

    * findings.md moved to schemas/findings.md — new top-level peer to
      architecture-index.md and style/. ~20 tables of DDL drafts as
      reference material; will get reviewed and progressively split
      per-domain as implementation begins.

    * Cross-references swept across 5 files (README,
      architecture-index, authority-and-decision, runtime-engine,
      style/trait-palette).

    * architecture-index.md trimmed: version-footer paragraphs removed
      per "git-is-changelog" discipline. From 374 → 287 lines; every
      remaining line load-bearing.

  The architecture is now organized for the implementation territory
  ahead. Each domain a typed-contract surface; cross-references
  explicit; filesystem mirrors the architecture's own typed-contract
  discipline at the directory layer.

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. 2026-04-26 02:21:50 +02:00
