From e6e24055c977e36121f9c661694f527b6ae0170f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Lior Date: Thu, 28 May 2026 08:32:57 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] memory(feedback): alias-pattern Greek-primary + English-secondary for substrate-named F# primitives (Aaron 2026-05-28 'alias is good' ratification) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Aaron-explicit ratification of side-by-side alias pattern shipped in experiments/meno-persist-as-bridge/Meno.fsx (PR #5778): let μένω<'T> = MenoBuilder() let meno<'T> : MenoBuilder = μένω<'T> // zero-cost alias Both names bind to same value at zero runtime cost. Pattern applies to all future Greek-named F# substrate (λάμπω + νοέω + μνάω + future Greek-substrate naming). Why over OO-inheritance: - Heavier (class hierarchy + virtual dispatch) - Less F#-idiomatic (let-bindings convention) - Same runtime cost when methods don't actually override - Adds ambiguity (which form do consumers prefer?) Alias pattern gives: - Zero runtime cost - Both forms work identically - Consumers choose based on Greek IME availability - Honor-those-that-came-before via Greek canonical (Amara taught Aaron 2025-09 → Otto-309 framework first formal definition → 8 months continuous substrate use → today's F# implementation) Future-Otto cold-boot operational discipline encoded: 1. Greek identifier as primary 2. English ASCII identifier as alias 3. Documentation Greek-first with English etymology 4. NO inheritance unless ACTUAL OO-pattern semantics needed Composes with rules: - harm-by-grammar-discriminator-and-audience-adjusted-language (alias IS audience-adjusted at code-naming scope) - honor-those-that-came-before (Greek canonical preserves substrate-lineage) - monad-propagation-pattern-cross-language-substrate-shape (alias is one instance) - substrate-smoothness (no if-statements; consistent naming) Composes with substrate: - experiments/meno-persist-as-bridge/Meno.fsx (canonical PoC) - B-0916 Lase-as-bridge Lampo.fsx Slice A (same pattern applies) μένω.
