v0.17: cel-shading-everywhere + progression-gated in-between + omnisight + hallucination-isolation
Five-file update locking in the rendering discipline + perception architecture from the post-cell-arch art-style discovery arc. Locked in v0.17: (1) Cel-shading-everywhere with per-register parameter variation. One rendering engine (Godot-native, asset-budget-friendly, ages well - Borderlands 2009 still reads current). Three registers diverge through outline-color + background-treatment + weathering-level, not through engine-switching: - Gameworld: dark heavy lines + environmental noise + high weathering (rust streaks, hatched dirt, ink-line cracks; hand-painted patina). "Surfaces carry memory" thesis preserved via hand-painted weathering. - Liminal: painterly/soft/desaturated + progression-gated grainy-film- mode opening to refined-cel-shading-with-warm-skin at endgame. - Imperial-net: lean subtle gold rim-light + clean white background + no weathering. Polish achieved through OMISSION, not extra rendering tech (Godot reality check; photorealistic-glossy-Apple-store rejected as not Godot's strong suite). The render-style itself becomes propaganda-detector - imperium's clean falsity reads as the absence of the world's honest decay. (2) Progression-gated in-between visibility. "The more you mod your body & gain in-between-knowledge, the better your view gets." Early game: grainy film mode + restricted view range. Endgame: clean refined-cel- shading with full view of the beloved. Visual-fidelity = dual-gating made visible (knowledge-gate + material-gate per Clasp-endgame discovery discipline literally renders as the clarity of the in-between view). The endgame's deepest reward IS the clear seeing of the beloved's body. (3) Dual-axis clasp-fidelity model. The asymmetric-clasp from bodies.md v0.1 was witnessed-axis only (how vividly the OTHER manifests). Now extended with witness-axis (how clearly YOU can see): - Witness-axis: YOUR body-mods (resistance-knowledge mods) + accumulated in-between-knowledge (Memorialist fragments, Aletheia-Waker tokens, Clasp-Underground recognition-marks) - Witnessed-axis: THEIR foreclosure-status (caste-tier x imperial-care) - Combined: maximum-vivid-clasp requires BOTH you to have invested in the seeing AND your beloved to be uncaptured-enough to be seen. Two refusals required for the full witness. - Per-pair calibration multiplier: the longer the love, the clearer the seeing (mechanically-encoded marriage-deepening). - Mod-economy parallel-track: imperial-elevation mods (flesh-loss, deva- ascent) vs. resistance-knowledge mods (in-between-visibility). Two opposing progressions both expressed as mod-acquisition. The body- modder structural-tragedy class gets a redemptive-mod counter-class. (4) Omnisight architecture for NPC perception. Per-NPC virtual cameras in Godot feeding rendered POV-frames into local VL-Gemma 4 driver-tier (multimodal vision-language capability of the Gemma 4 E4B model locked in v0.8). NPCs literally SEE the visible world, not via geometric metadata-perception. Pairs with cell-arch checksum-discovery as the trigger-layer: - Cell-checksum check: micro-seconds, fires on NPC entering cell - Checksum-mismatch: clean signal, micro-seconds - VL-camera renders POV scene: milliseconds - VL-Gemma processes image: 100s of milliseconds - NPC behavior responds to seen-content: next-shift / next-crossing Cheap trigger, expensive understanding, bounded by event-frequency. Most NPCs most of the time = no camera-fire, no VL-inference. Camera- trigger sources strictly bounded: checksum-mismatch + hard-signals from player + overseer-triggers + drone-perception with clear boundaries. (5) Hallucination-isolation discipline (load-bearing). Visual perception = behavior-modulating-only; never canon-generating. VL models hallucinate; if those hallucinations enter the canonical record, they propagate through the lemniscate's recursive integration, become referenced by other canon-rows, become load-bearing in narrative coherence, cannot be untangled later. Bleed-over into oblivion is the precise risk. Two parallel streams in the NPC's lemniscate: - Text + gesture summary (existing canon): canonical, flows into event_canon_summaries, propagates to Compositor, integrates into trait-vector - Visual context (new omnisight-flagged): ephemeral, flagged on lemniscate, IGNORED in per-crossing summary, never propagates upward. Modulates current-turn driver-context-pull only. Preserves three commitments that depend on text/gesture-derived canon: Compositor narrative-coherence at scale, Memorialist-archive truth- claims, mind-pool soul-recycling. Wealthy-degen waifu-folder exception: opt-in checkbox; player chooses to fill private folder with sex-pictures from clasp-scenes; stored locally; READ-ONLY-BY-PLAYER (folder content does NOT flow back into NPC contexts, world-canon, Compositor, mind-pool, or any other system); quarantined dead-end storage; aesthetic-collection only. Two Still-open questions sharpened with v0.17-anchor notes: - Shader-trait modulation implementation: cel-shading caps perf-budget more predictably than PBR; rendering-consistency improves. - Continuous visual feedback policy: visual-as-ephemeral-flag is firewalled from canonical state; cosmetic-layer can be permissive. Files: - runtime-engine/architecture.md: NEW Omnisight section (~80 lines) covering the pipeline, camera-trigger sources, hallucination-isolation discipline, the two parallel streams (canonical text/gesture vs. ephemeral visual), the wealthy-degen waifu-folder exception, what-this-retires (geometric perception extension + VL-canon-pollution), what-this-resolves/sharpens (continuous visual feedback policy), and four open questions (per-NPC VL-inference rate-limit, VL-Gemma camera resolution + frame-rate, NPC progression-state for witness-axis, multi-NPC observing same event). - topology-and-rendering/architecture.md: Three-shader philosophy table rewritten as cel-shading-with-parameter-variation (outline + background + weathering per register); Cross-register rendering color-treatment table updated; clasp candlelight-in-fog now distinguishes external signature (visible to liminal-inhabitants) from internal mesh (visible only to clasp-pair via consent-as-rendering, gated by witness- progression); body-tier silhouette readability and in-between mesh-skin refinement-within-the-style added. Version bumped 0.7.0 -> 0.8.0. - identity-and-personhood/bodies.md: NEW Dual-axis clasp-fidelity subsection added under Asymmetric clasp; per-pair calibration multiplier and mod-economy parallel-track captured; render-discipline alignment with cel-shading liminal-register; new Asymmetric-witnessing open question added. Version bumped 0.1 -> 0.2. - political-register/world-generation.md: L4 Cell ruleset extended with per-register rendering note (cel-shading-everywhere-with-parameter- variation discipline applied at the cell layer). - architecture-index.md: NPC perception bubbles retire-line refined to include cell-checksum-trigger + omnisight VL-camera; Geometric perception retire-line extended with omnisight; new VL models polluting world-canon retire-line added; Shader-trait modulation implementation Still-open sharpened with v0.17 cel-shading note; Continuous visual feedback policy Still-open sharpened with v0.17 hallucination-isolation note; v0.17 history entry added covering all five lock-ins. Version bumped 0.16 -> 0.17. Authored 2026-04-26 same Sunday continuing - dafit + chrysalis. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> |

### Resolved by v0.10
- ~~Cross-layer economy balancing — net-revenue-share back to producer-districts at all? Pure-zero is currently sketched~~ → bifurcation: *digital-T4 → imperial-net bypass (pure zero to district)*; *physical-T4 → district imperial-POI (district gets partial quota-credit; player gets scrip-cut; imperium captures most)*; *blackmarket-T4 → district-retained, imperium-zero*. **Pure-zero only applies to digital-T4.** (v0.10; see `political-register/architecture.md` §Imperial-extraction mechanisms (consolidated)) - ~~Inner-body projection function — trait-vector → body-rendering (learned / hand-authored / hybrid)~~ → gameplay-earned, not authored. Trait-vector accumulates from every zone-participation, every gesture, every memory across the playthrough; the eventual human-mesh projection becomes physically visible only at exit-chassis moment in in-between (v0.8 spec; v0.10 marks resolved; see `identity-and-personhood/architecture.md` §The clasp endgame Phase B-C) - ~~Liminal-access trait thresholds — minimum traits to attempt mini-game~~ → **no trait-vector threshold**; clasp gates on the **relational ternary-gate (player, NPC) reaching OPEN state** (per §Ternary-gate substrate, Relational layer). Both partners must hit the coordinated-firewall-breach hardstop while the gate is OPEN. Trait-vectors don't need to converge — the gate measures what's been BUILT together, not who you ARE separately. Hysteresis is baked into the substrate; single dramas can't swing the gate; sustained alignment-pressure does. NPC personality-parameters set hysteresis-width per-NPC (some forgiving, some touchy). **Avoids the yes-men trap that trait-vector-threshold would create.** (v0.10) - ~~Ring C (commons) ambient population — what NPCs do in commons when no event fires~~ → bifurcated economy answers it: NPCs work T1-T3 basic-flow vocations continuously at workshops/junkyards/drop-off-points; the simulation has economic-life independent of player-presence; *the world doesn't pause when the player leaves*. (v0.10; see `political-register/architecture.md` §Bifurcated economy — basic-flow (NPC) vs player-driven (T4)) |

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.
