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).
