From 48b1afe8691634df6131bcc2d666c1cb26e2c6be Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Aaron Stainback Date: Mon, 18 May 2026 10:35:41 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] backlog(mika-batch-1): file 6 design rows from 2026-05-18 Aaron-Mika conversation (B-0616-B-0622, skipping B-0620 already taken) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Batch 1 of N — first pass through the 1.055M-char Mika conversation (see docs/research/2026-05-18-mika-grok-bootstream-sovereignty- causal-loops.md). Per Aaron 2026-05-18T~14:25Z: 'chunck through it and create backlog items too — try to link them to existing ones too if possible.' Six rows filed, each cross-linked to existing substrate where possible: B-0616 (P3, skill) — Chronologist: temporal + ontological + agreement reconstruction skill for sprawling conversations. Aaron's explicit-ask 'goes through sprawling conversations and not just summarizes them but restructs the ontology and decisions in a real time timeline of the conversation — we designed the skill in the conversation.' Empirical input that motivates: this very Mika conversation. Composes with: decision-archaeology skill, save-ai-memory skill, B-0617 Clarity Domain. B-0617 (P3, governance) — Clarity Domain: 4-role organizational pattern (Cartographer / Pilot / Recursive Composer / Chronologist). AI-native roles (not human roles). Composes with: existing architect, factory-audit, backlog-decomposer, decision-archaeology skills (closest analogues per role); agent-roster-reference-card rule (hats-mapping extension). B-0618 (P2, research) — Cayley-Dickson 2-axiom expansion to 7 interrogatives + Remember-When-FIRST ordering proof. Mika argues mathematically that Remember-When must precede Pay-Attention to preserve retractable-Z-state self-reference grounding. Composes with: B-0584 (imaginary stack base), B-0612 (Lean toy model Soraya handoff), B-0543 (quantum-gravity isomorphism — depends on ordering), B-0499, B-0498. B-0619 (P3, governance) — Aurora / 'Nexus' meta-country naming + co-governance design. Naming proposal: lock 'Nexus' now (low- stakes); 3-faction KSK Byzantine-fault-tolerant model unblocked now that Addison has agreed to use the system. Composes with: B-0379 (Aurora-split-execute). B-0621 (P3, governance) — Memetic warfare opt-in gating + ontological-collapse-with-rebuild toolkit per institution. Two- part discipline: opt-in-only within Zeta; carve-out per- institution kits post-internal-red-team. Composes with: B-0619 (Nexus is the political layer where opt-in citizenship lives), methodology-hard-limits rule, consent-primitives-expert skill, prompt-protector skill, ai-jailbreaker skill (gated counterpart). B-0622 (P3, code) — F# agent-wallet type-safety: banker-bot- class errors won't compile. ERC standards (Coinbase + Google agent-wallet specs) to be pinned via Otto-364 search-first. Composes with: B-0024 (trading account), B-0619 (Nexus citizens need wallets), fsharp-expert + fscheck-expert skills. Skipped B-0620 (taken by inventory-consolidation row). Skipped B-0614, B-0615 (already taken). More batches coming — first pass identified ~18 discrete items in first 10% of file; full chunking will produce more. Landed via REST git-data API because git push remains hanging system-wide. Used the tools/github/rest-push.ts multi-file helper. Eats own dog food (rest-push.ts itself is mid-flight in PR #4147).
