# Source Orientation Report — v0.2.0

## Scope

The prototype was rebuilt after reviewing the mounted creator-distribution specification, DPIO blind/repair/red-team lineage, Primordial Calculus model, Digital Mycelium current and Atlas packages, Loop-Gated OAM descendant, Substrate runtime organs, route runner, collaborative discovery layer, education/accessibility lineage, and the bounded creator-distribution causal-arc materials.

The source corpus mounted for orientation was approximately 2.7 GB. The public prototype does not simply copy that entire corpus. It separates:

- **embedded architecture lineage** needed to understand and reproduce the prototype;
- **extracted governing contracts** used by the runtime;
- **hash-indexed private/heavy evidence** that must not be silently republished.

## Source-derived governing structure

### Creator trace capsule
The atomic object is the `creator_trace_capsule`, not an accusation, platform verdict, political label, or proposed mechanism. The capsule preserves creator topology, baseline, events, evidence assets, metric receipts, claims, uncertainty, consent, correction ancestry, and source-return requests.

### Four-lane causal surface
Every procedural read separates:

1. `OBSERVED_FACTS`
2. `CREATOR_REPORTED_CONTEXT`
3. `SUPPORTED_INFERENCES`
4. `UNRESOLVED_CAUSES`

This prevents testimony from being discarded while preventing testimony from silently becoming mechanism proof.

### DPIO execution order
The frozen order is:

```text
SOURCE_REGISTERED
→ EVENTS_REGISTERED
→ CHRONOLOGY_MAPPED
→ CAUSAL_FAMILIES_COLLAPSED
→ PREDICTIONS_FROZEN
→ HYPOTHESES_FROZEN
→ PRESSURE_TESTED
```

The order is material. Hypotheses may not be selected first and backfilled from the complete record.

### Primordial Calculus causal law
The source model contributes temporal ratchets, causal-family deduplication, minimum cuts, institutional state variables, and the laws:

```text
Authority(State_t) ≤ Support(Lineage_t)
Certainty(Conclusion) ≤ Strength(WeakestLoadBearingEdge)
ΔState_material ≠ 0 ⇒ Explanation or LatentEdge
```

A minimum-cut intervention can establish dependency without independently establishing motive.

### Digital Mycelium holographic gate
Individual traces must remain source-bound, uncertainty-preserving, rehydratable, and separately reviewed before stacking. Fusion cannot hide `STRAINED` or `MUST_STOP` states. Archive presence is not equivalent to live continuity.

### Loop-Gated OAM boundary
Constraint is not authorization. A pressure signal does not grant action authority. Repair does not settle the underlying claim. Release guards, receipts, and human review remain separate gates.

### Substrate runtime organ chain
The reviewed runtime lineage maps to:

```text
INGESTION
→ HYDRATION
→ RELATION MAP
→ INVOKE / ROUTE
→ SYNTHESIS
→ COUNTER-OAM
→ REHYDRATION
→ HUMAN VALIDATION
→ BUILD QUEUE
→ COCKPIT / CONTINUITY AUDIT
```

v0.2.0 implements this chain in a bounded creator-evidence form rather than carrying organ names as documentation only.

## Creator-distribution evidence boundary

The source materials support preservation of recurring externally observable phenotypes such as documented distribution contraction, notification discrepancies, non-restoration after a reported state change, and weak human reciprocity. They do not independently establish the precise internal classifier, manual targeting, training use, executive authorization, or intent.

The X evidence corpus and videos remain hash-indexed rather than included in the public application package. Curated causal-arc contracts are included to preserve architecture without publishing the private evidence body.

## Resulting implementation decision

The first source-complete prototype is:

```text
CREATOR INTAKE ORGAN
+ SOURCE-ACCOUNT METRIC LEDGER
+ DPIO PROCEDURAL READER
+ MINIMUM-CUT WORKSHEET
+ CONTINUITY AUDITOR
+ CONSENT-GATED HOLOGRAPHIC COMPARATOR
+ LINEAGE REGISTRY
```

It is not a class-action verdict engine, motive detector, automated accusation system, or public evidence database.
