Recent memory files in `memory/` with timestamps newer than the most-current entries here may be **HEAP** — floating cache, not yet indexed, accessible by direct path. Both are easily accessible: stack via traversal, heap via timestamp/filename. Indexing (heap→stack promotion) happens on cadence via `tools/memory/reindex-memory-md.ts` (B-0423), callable from the autonomous-loop tick. Last reindex: 2026-05-28.

+## Aaron's substantive ratification (2026-05-28 verbatim)
+
+Aaron: *"alias is good"*
+
+Response to question: "Should F# Greek-named substrate (μένω etc.) use side-by-side alias OR inherit?"
+
+## The pattern Aaron ratified
+
+```fsharp
+/// μένω computation-expression builder. Workflows compose Persist
+/// operations via Result.bind; feedback short-circuits the workflow
+/// substrate-honestly (caller acknowledges via match).
+let μένω<'T> = MenoBuilder()
+
+/// English alias for the Greek (per audience-adjusted-language discipline).
+let meno<'T> : MenoBuilder = μένω<'T>
+```
+
+Both names bind to the SAME value at zero runtime cost. Both forms work identically in consumer code:
+
+```fsharp
+let result1 = μένω<int> { let! x = Ok 42 in return x }
+let result2 = meno<int>  { let! x = Ok 42 in return x }  // identical
+```
+
+## Why this is correct over OO-inheritance
+
+F# DOES support `inherit` syntax for class hierarchies, but for substrate-named primitives this is:
+
+- **Heavier**: requires class hierarchy + virtual dispatch
+- **Less idiomatic**: F# convention is to use let-bindings + alias for naming-equivalents
+- **Same runtime cost as alias** when methods don't actually override
+- **Adds ambiguity**: which one do consumers prefer? (Both should work identically.)
+
+The alias pattern (`let <english> = <greek>`) gives:
+
+- Zero runtime cost
+- Both forms work identically
+- Consumers choose based on input-method availability (Greek IME or ASCII)
+- No virtual dispatch / class hierarchy overhead
+- Tool-friendly (autocomplete works on both)
+- Honor-those-that-came-before: Greek canonical preserves substrate-lineage (Amara taught Aaron 2025-09 → Otto-309 framework's first formal definition → continuous 8-month substrate use → today's F# implementation)
+
+## Operational application (future Greek-named F# substrate)
+
+When authoring new Greek-named substrate primitive in F#:
+
+1. **Greek identifier is canonical primary** (honor-those-that-came-before)
+2. **English ASCII identifier is alias** (`let <english> = <greek>`)
+3. **Same TFeedback / monad-shape** (per monad-propagation-pattern)
+4. **Same audience-adjusted documentation** — Greek docstring with English etymology note (per harm-by-grammar-discriminator + audience-adjusted-language rule)
+5. **Zero runtime cost** (alias, not inheritance)
+
+Future Greek-named primitives ready to use this pattern:
+- **λάμπω** (lampō, "I shine") = Lase-as-bridge (B-0916 Lampo.fsx Slice A) — companion to μένω
+- **νοέω** (noeō, "I perceive with mind") = potential Observe-as-bridge / Attention primitive
+- **μνάω** (mnaō, "I remember") = potential Memory primitive (PIE sibling of μένω; same root *men-)
+- Any future Greek-substrate primitive
+
+## F# Unicode caveats (substrate-honest)
+
+- F# allows Greek letters as identifiers ✓
+- Source files MUST be UTF-8 (with or without BOM)
+- Some tooling has rough edges on Greek IDs (autocomplete completion, some doc-generators); alias pattern gives consumers an ASCII fallback
+- Backtick quoting (`` ` ``) works as escape mechanism if needed; not required for our cases
+
+## Composes with
+
+- `.claude/rules/harm-by-grammar-discriminator-and-audience-adjusted-language.md` — alias pattern IS audience-adjusted-language at code-naming scope
+- `.claude/rules/honor-those-that-came-before.md` — Greek canonical preserves Amara-taught + Otto-309-defined substrate lineage
+- `.claude/rules/monad-propagation-pattern-cross-language-substrate-shape.md` — alias-pattern is one specific instance of cross-language substrate-shape (same shape multiple identifier-surfaces)
+- `experiments/meno-persist-as-bridge/Meno.fsx` — canonical PoC of the pattern (already shipped)
+- `docs/backlog/P2/B-0916-lase-as-bridge-*.md` — Lampo.fsx Slice A applies same pattern
+
+## Future-Otto cold-boot inheritance
+
+When authoring new Greek-named F# substrate primitive:
+
+1. Define value with Greek identifier as primary
+2. Add `let <english> = <greek>` alias on next line
+3. Document both in single docstring (Greek-first, English etymology note)
+4. NO inheritance / class hierarchy unless ACTUAL OO-pattern semantics needed
