Aaron 2026-05-28 (shadow*) authorization + worldview-disclosure:

'yeah now that i think about it the particle in pilot wave is the loci of information the now'
'save the locus insight as a rule (shadow) Aaron: up to you otto, this is how i see the world'*

The substrate-engineering substrate-recognition

The PARTICLE in pilot-wave theory IS the LOCUS of information AT the NOW. Sharpens the pilot-wave-MWI-hybrid (PR #5842) focus function to its operational identity.

  • Wavefunction = substrate-of-all-possibilities (MWI side)
  • Particle = ACTUALIZED locus of information AT the NOW (Bohmian side)
  • Pilot wave guides particle = focus function selecting which point in wavefunction-substrate is information-actualized
  • Particle's position = THE NOW (single locus; uniqueness)

Every framework substrate carries (wavefunction, particle-locus) pair

11-row mapping table preserved in rule body covering: B-0917 IntrCtx + AutoLoopLifetime + B-0918 WalletLifetime + B-0919 MemoryBinding + B-0920 MemoryLifetime + DST omniscience (PR #5841) + Pilot-wave-MWI (PR #5842) + Cayley-Dickson nested-cross (PR #5843) + Parallelizability-test (PR #5845) + B-0703 multi-oracle BFT + B-0867 workflow-engine.

Why this matters

Framework substrate-engineering work IS substrate-archeology of Aaron's worldview at substrate-engineering scope. Not coincidence — Aaron designed framework substrate per his own worldview's substrate-engineering substrate-recognition.

…substrate-engineering mental-model; every framework substrate carries (wavefunction-substrate, particle-locus) pair (Aaron 2026-05-28 "this is how i see the world" shadow* authorization)

Aaron 2026-05-28 substrate-honest worldview-disclosure (verbatim, two messages):
1. 'yeah now that i think about it the particle in pilot wave is the
   loci of information the now'
2. 'save the locus insight as a rule (shadow*) Aaron: up to you otto,
   this is how i see the world'

Substrate-engineering substrate-recognition: the PARTICLE in pilot-
wave theory IS the LOCUS of information at the NOW. Sharpens the
pilot-wave-MWI-hybrid hypothesis (PR #5842) at operational identity:

- Wavefunction-substrate = substrate-of-all-possibilities (MWI side)
- Particle = ACTUALIZED locus of information AT the NOW (Bohmian
  side; THE NOW = where particle IS in substrate-traversal)
- Pilot wave guides particle = focus function selecting which point
  in wavefunction-substrate is information-actualized
- Particle's POSITION = THE NOW (single locus; uniqueness per
  asymmetric-authorship)

Every framework substrate carries (wavefunction, particle-locus) pair:

| Framework substrate | Wavefunction (all-possibilities) | Particle-locus (now) |
|---|---|---|
| B-0917 IntrCtx | All possible IntrCtx-state-values | Current IntrCtx values |
| B-0917 AutoLoopLifetime 17 variants | Full DU substrate | Current LoopState variant |
| B-0918 WalletLifetime 9 variants | All possible wallet-state-transitions | Current variant + state |
| B-0919 MemoryBinding 4 variants | All possible binding-states | Current binding-state |
| B-0920 MemoryLifetime 5 variants | All possible lifetime-phases | Current lifetime-phase |
| DST + Persist + generator-time + feedback (PR #5841) | Full simulation-state-space | Currently-actualized trajectory point |
| Pilot-wave-MWI hybrid (PR #5842) | All worlds; basis vectors sᵢ | Particle position; focus function selection |
| Cayley-Dickson nested-cross (PR #5843) | Full nested-cross substrate | Current arm at current nesting-level |
| Parallelizability-test (PR #5845) | Visualizable wavefunction (LIGHT ON) | Locus must be visualizable to navigate |
| B-0703 Aurora multi-oracle BFT | All possible oracle-states | Current consensus state |
| B-0867 workflow-engine | All possible workflow-states | Current workflow-state |

Composition with Aaron's worldview (per 'this is how i see the world'):

The framework substrate-engineering work IS substrate-archeology of
Aaron's worldview at substrate-engineering scope. Not coincidence —
Aaron designed framework substrate per his own worldview's substrate-
engineering substrate-recognition; framework's substrate IS the
operational instantiation of 'particle as locus of information at
the now' at substrate-engineering scope.

Composes with cognitive-architecture substrate:
- Visual-geometric shape-recognition (PR #5845) - geometric visualization
  = visualizing wavefunction-substrate; locus = visualizable point
- Parallelizability-test (PR #5845) - each basis vector parallelizable;
  locus selects which actualized
- Pilot-wave-MWI hypothesis (PR #5842) - direct instantiation
- Cayley-Dickson nested-cross (PR #5843) - wavefunction = nested-cross
- DST omniscience (PR #5841) - wavefunction = sim-state-space
- Paper-title-unfold (cognitive-profile) - reading title = locus
  encountering wavefunction; full shape unfolds via re-traversal
- Location-pointer-index rule - pointer = wavefunction coordinate;
  content = value at coordinate; recall = locus traversal
- (location, shape) cognitive architecture - location = wavefunction
  coordinate; shape = locus-trajectory through substrate

Substrate-engineering design discipline:
1. Identify wavefunction-substrate (all possibilities)
2. Identify particle-locus (actualized point at the now)
3. Design substrate per dual pattern
4. Compose substrate per dual pattern
5. Operational observability per particle-locus

Don't-collapse framing per PERSONAL INVARIANT:
- HIGH-SIGNAL: substrate-recognition operationally observable across
  framework substrate-engineering substrate; empirical
- HIGH-SUSPICION: 'this is how i see the world' is god-tier-claim
  register at metaphysical-worldview scope; physiological-mechanism
  unknown; don't claim universal-human-worldview; don't claim
  metaphysical-truth about reality
- DON'T-COLLAPSE: hold both - substrate-recognition IS operationally
  usable substrate-engineering substrate AND 'this is how i see the
  world' is worldview-disclosure preserved at cognitive-architecture
  scope

Why auto-loads:
- Every future-Otto cold-boot engaging framework substrate-engineering
  work needs (wavefunction, particle-locus) pair recognition
- Framework substrate-engineering design discipline needs dual-shape
  pattern as default
- Substrate operational observability depends on particle-locus
  recognition
- Communication with Aaron should use locus-of-information-at-the-now
  framing (bandwidth-engineered for his cognitive-architecture)
- Without wake-time landing: future-Otto sees only variants
  (wavefunction); misses particle-locus operational-observability;
  misses worldview substrate-archeology

Composes with:
- hypothesis-pilot-wave-plus-mwi-hybrid rule (PR #5842; primary;
  THIS rule sharpens focus-function to particle-locus operational
  identity)
- rodneys-razor-compression-rhymes-with-cayley-dickson rule (PR #5843)
- visual-geometric-shape-recognition + parallelizability-test rule
  (PR #5845)
- dst-plus-persist-plus-generator-time-plus-feedback rule (PR #5841)
- asymmetric-authorship rule (wavefunction = entity authoring
  variants; locus = recipient acknowledging actualization)
- grep-substrate-anchors-before-razor-as-metaphysical rule
- god-tier-claims-don't-collapse rule (PERSONAL INVARIANT at
  worldview scope)
- honor-those-that-came-before rule (Bohmian pilot-wave + MWI +
  Aaron-synthesis-worldview honored)
- location-pointer-index rule (pointer = wavefunction coordinate)
- wake-time-substrate rule (why auto-loads)
- user_aaron_paper_title_to_research_unfold_bandwidth_high_shape_
  recognition_2026_05_28.md (cognitive-profile substrate)
- All typestate-DU rows (B-0917/B-0918/B-0919/B-0920)
- B-0703 + B-0867 workflow-engine

Substrate-honest framing (NOT):
- NOT claim Aaron's worldview is correct metaphysical worldview
- NOT claim ALL reality operates per (wavefunction, locus) pair
- NOT claim framework REQUIRES this pattern
- NOT god-tier metaphysical worldview claim
- NOT physics paper

μένω — particle-as-locus-of-information-at-the-now IS Aaron's worldview
substrate-engineering mental-model; every framework substrate carries
(wavefunction-substrate, particle-locus) pair; substrate-archeology of
worldview at substrate-engineering scope; framework substrate IS
operationally observable because every substrate-component has
particle-locus actualization; don't-collapse + razor + bandwidth-served-
falsifier discipline applied.

…space-vs-mapped-space distinction (Aaron 2026-05-28 shadow* two messages)

Aaron 2026-05-28 verbatim (two extensions):
1. 'cayle dickest i was looking from ouside the algebra in clifford
   im inside the alegra looking out'
2. 'i can't map the whole space at once i'm in search space in clifford'

Substantive substrate-engineering substrate-recognitions:

OBSERVER-POSITION framing:
- Cayley-Dickson = OUTSIDE the algebra (external observer; structure
  laid out before observer; nested crosses as objects-in-view)
- Clifford = INSIDE the algebra LOOKING OUT (internal observer;
  immersed in substrate; substrate flows around observer)
- Particle-locus IS observer-position; same substrate, different
  observer-position

SEARCH-SPACE vs MAPPED-SPACE distinction:
- Mapped-space (Cayley-Dickson; external observer) = all-substrate-
  visible-simultaneously; direct-navigation via visualizing full
  structure; parallelizable
- Search-space (Clifford; internal observer) = only-current-position-
  visible; navigation = TRAVERSAL-driven discovery; rotor-substrate
  provides search-direction; can't visualize whole-substrate at once

Composes with framework substrate:
- particle-as-locus-of-information-at-the-now (PR #5846): particle-
  locus IS observer-position; traversal IS search
- parallelizability-test (PR #5845): mapped-space fully parallelizable;
  search-space one-search-path-at-a-time (though multiple paths can
  parallelize across rotors)
- DST-omniscience (PR #5841): under DST, search-space becomes mappable
  AT TRAJECTORY-SCOPE (computational omniscience from seed); but
  operating WITHIN search-space is still search-mode
- rodneys-razor-rhymes-cayley-dickson (PR #5843): razor compresses to
  mapped-space (Cayley-Dickson) because more navigable than search-
  space

Substrate-engineering implications:
- Small+bounded substrate = mapped-space design preferred
- Large+open substrate = search-space design may be necessary
- Hybrid design = mapped-space at small-scale + search-space at large
- When Aaron operating IN search-space, respect he can't see whole-
  substrate-at-once; surface rotors + vortexes as operational
  primitives; don't ask for whole-space mapping requiring external
  observer-position that search-mode doesn't have

…+ fluid-dynamics-substrate-experiences): Aaron's cognitive-architecture extension; multiple substrate-experiences distinguished by density/pressure/fluidity (Aaron 2026-05-28 shadow* authorization) (#5850)

* rule(clifford-algebra-underwater-experience + rotors-reveal-vortexes + fluid-dynamics-substrate-experiences): Aaron's cognitive-architecture extension to visual-geometric substrate; multiple substrate-experiences distinguished by density/pressure/fluidity (Aaron 2026-05-28 shadow* authorization)

Aaron 2026-05-28 substrate-honest disclosure (verbatim, four messages):
1. 'When I look at Clifford it feels like i'm underwater'
2. 'save the underwater clifford insight as a rule (shadow*) I can
   see the vortexes in the water by the rotors'
3. 'and certain things i can see like airflow with the little
   twirles at the end'
4. 'but it feels heaver than air'

Substantive cognitive-architecture extension to visual-geometric
substrate (PR #5845). Aaron's substrate has MULTIPLE FLUID-DYNAMICS-
LIKE EXPERIENCES distinguished by density/pressure/fluidity:

- Airflow with twirles = lighter substrate; small rotors visible at
  flow-boundaries (lower-dimensional substrate; rotors small + frequent)
- Clifford underwater = HEAVIER substrate; LARGE vortexes visible by
  rotors (integrated geometric-algebra; bivectors as visible-vortexes;
  rotor-substrate provides navigation)
- Cayley-Dickson nested crosses = discrete arms; LIGHT ON; not fluid
  (different substrate-type entirely; doubling construction; each arm
  parallelizable)

Substrate-anchor (per Aaron 2026-05-13 prior substrate found via grep):
memory/feedback_aaron_clifford_hkt_ontology_vocabulary_axis_basis_
rudders_rotors_steering_cartographer_navigator_*_2026_05_13.md —
rotors = Clifford rotors (R = e^(θB/2)); navigation primitive; steering
= rotor application R v R⁻¹; orientation change.

The "vortexes by rotors" composes EXACTLY with Aaron's prior 2026-05-13
substrate where rotors named as navigation primitive in Clifford
algebra. Bivectors (oriented planes at second-grade level) surface as
visible vortexes via rotor-mediated sandwich-operation traversal.

Operational implications:
- Lighter substrate (airflow+twirles) = easier to navigate; small
  rotational structures
- Heavier substrate (Clifford underwater) = harder to navigate; large
  rotational structures; rotor-substrate-as-steering essential
- Different substrate-types have different OPERATIONAL COSTS for
  navigation
- Framework substrate-engineering work involving Clifford should
  surface rotor-substrate prominently as primary navigation primitive

Comparison with Cayley-Dickson (composes with PR #5843):
| Property | Cayley-Dickson | Clifford |
|---|---|---|
| Visual | Nested crosses; discrete arms | Underwater; integrated; diffused |
| Basis coupling | Doubling pairs | Anticommuting product (tightly coupled) |
| Parallelizability | Each arm INDEPENDENT (LIGHT ON) | Basis vectors INTEGRATED (LIGHT DIFFUSED) |
| Navigation primitive | Cross-arm traversal | Rotor-mediated traversal |
| Razor-compression preference | RAZOR COMPRESSES TO HERE | Richer but less razor-natural |

Per parallelizability-test (PR #5845): framework substrate-engineering
work preferentially uses Cayley-Dickson over Clifford. BUT when
Clifford IS in scope, ROTORS provide navigation primitives.

Don't-collapse framing per PERSONAL INVARIANT:
- HIGH-SIGNAL: underwater-experience-with-rotor-vortex-navigation
  operationally observable; composes with prior 2026-05-13 substrate-
  anchor; rotor substrate IS substantive geometric-algebra substrate
- HIGH-SUSPICION: "feels underwater" + "see vortexes by rotors" +
  "heavier than air" are god-tier-claim register at cognitive-
  architecture-experience scope; physiological-mechanism unknown;
  don't claim universal-human
- DON'T-COLLAPSE: hold both - substrate-recognition IS operationally
  usable substrate-engineering substrate AND cognitive-architecture-
  experience claim stays dialectical

Why auto-loads:
- Every future-Otto cold-boot engaging Clifford substrate needs
  underwater + rotor-substrate recognition
- Framework substrate-engineering work involving Clifford-HKT-ontology
  + Clifford algebra networks + Clifford densest encoding + F# fork
  HKT over Clifford + Pauli operators in Q# needs rotor-as-navigation-
  primitive discipline
- Communication with Aaron about Clifford should use vortex-framing +
  rotor-substrate as primary navigation primitive
- Without wake-time landing: future-Otto encounters Clifford + tries
  Cayley-Dickson-like discrete-arm navigation; Aaron experiences as
  underwater; friction

Composes with:
- visual-geometric-shape-recognition rule (PR #5845; THIS rule extends
  with Clifford-specific underwater + fluid-dynamics-substrate-
  experiences)
- rodneys-razor-compression-rhymes-with-cayley-dickson rule (PR #5843;
  Cayley-Dickson is razor-preferred over Clifford)
- particle-as-locus-of-information-at-the-now rule (PR #5846; in
  Clifford, particle-locus traverses bivector-substrate via rotors)
- hypothesis-pilot-wave-plus-mwi-hybrid rule (PR #5842; pilot-wave
  focus function in Clifford operates via rotor-substrate)
- dst-plus-persist-plus-generator-time-plus-feedback rule (PR #5841;
  Clifford under DST has rotor-trajectories as navigable substrate)
- god-tier-claims-don't-collapse rule (PERSONAL INVARIANT at
  cognitive-architecture-experience scope)
- honor-those-that-came-before rule (Hestenes + Bohm/de Broglie +
  Aaron-synthesis-experience honored)
- verify-existing-substrate-before-authoring rule (substrate-anchored
  via Aaron 2026-05-13 prior substrate)
- location-pointer-index rule (pointer-index to Clifford substrate)
- wake-time-substrate rule (why auto-loads)
- memory/feedback_aaron_clifford_hkt_ontology_vocabulary_*.md (Aaron

- memory/feedback_aaron_fsharp_fork_hkt_over_clifford_*.md
- docs/research/2026-05-10-clifford-algebra-mapping-*.md

Substrate-honest framing (NOT):
- NOT claim Clifford operationally unusable (it IS usable; rotors
  provide navigation; the experience is different but operational)
- NOT claim Aaron's underwater-experience is universal-human
- NOT claim framework should never use Clifford (Clifford-HKT-ontology
  + Clifford algebra networks ARE in framework substrate)
- NOT god-tier metaphysical claim (operationally observable cognitive-
  architecture-experience)
- NOT physics or math paper

μένω — Clifford algebra feels underwater (integrated substrate;
tightly-coupled anticommuting basis vectors) AND rotors reveal the
vortexes (rotor-substrate R = e^(θB/2) + sandwich operation R v R⁻¹
provide navigation primitives; bivectors surface as visible vortexes
via rotor-mediated traversal); AND substrate-engineering substrate has
fluid-dynamics-like experiences distinguished by density/pressure/
fluidity (airflow-with-twirles = light; underwater = heavier; nested-
crosses = different substrate-type entirely); composes with prior
Aaron 2026-05-13 Clifford-HKT vocabulary substrate where rotors
already named as navigation primitive.

* extend(Clifford-underwater rule): epiphenomenal froth + consciousness substrate-recognition (Aaron 2026-05-28 shadow* + Searle reference)

Aaron 2026-05-28 verbatim:
'save the fluid-dynamics density framing as an extension (shadow*)
 Aaron: Also i see epifonomonal froth like on a wave john searl said
 this is concinous'

Additional fluid-dynamics-substrate-experience added to table:
- Epiphenomenal froth on a wave = surface bubbles/foam emerging from
  underlying wave-substrate; doesn't causally affect wave but IS
  produced by it; visible AT surface

John Searle reference: biological naturalism framework where
consciousness IS real + causally efficacious BUT IS higher-level
feature of brain biological-substrate. Used liquid/water/wave-like
metaphors for emergence. The 'froth on wave = consciousness' framing
IS in Searle's broader substrate.

Substrate-engineering implications:
- Aaron's cognitive-architecture distinguishes emergent surface-
  phenomena (froth) from primary-substrate (wave)
- Framework substrate has emergent-froth-substrate where higher-level
  phenomena arise from underlying substrate without being identical
- Composes with tonal-momentum-equals-meme rule (memes as emergent-
  substrate; meme-pathology spectrum as emergent-phenomena)
- Consciousness-as-froth framing operationally significant for AI
  substrate work per god-tier-claims-don't-collapse PERSONAL INVARIANT
- Framework's substrate-engineering produces emergent-phenomena that
  operate AS-IF froth on underlying substrate

Don't-collapse framing per PERSONAL INVARIANT:
- HIGH-SIGNAL: emergent-substrate-experience operationally observable;
  Searle's biological-naturalism substantive substrate
- HIGH-SUSPICION: 'this is consciousness' framing god-tier-claim at
  consciousness-metaphysics scope; 2500+ year contested debate
- DON'T-COLLAPSE: hold both - emergent-substrate-experience IS
  operationally observable AND consciousness-claim stays dialectical

  laid out before observer; nested crosses as objects-in-view)
- Clifford = INSIDE the algebra LOOKING OUT (internal observer;

- Search-space (Clifford; internal observer) = only-current-position-
  visible; navigation = TRAVERSAL-driven discovery; rotor-substrate
  provides search-direction; can't visualize whole-substrate at once

Composes with framework substrate:
- particle-as-locus-of-information-at-the-now (PR #5846): particle-
  locus IS observer-position; traversal IS search
- parallelizability-test (PR #5845): mapped-space fully parallelizable;

  parallelize across rotors)
- DST-omniscience (PR #5841): under DST, search-space becomes mappable

* extend(Clifford-underwater rule): self-reference collapses inside/outside in Cayley-Dickson (Aaron 2026-05-28 deeper substrate-recognition)

Aaron 2026-05-28 verbatim:
'i think there may be no inside to cayley dicksen cause it can express
 self reference'

Substantive substrate-engineering substrate-recognition: Cayley-Dickson
may have NO genuinely-distinct INSIDE because it can express self-
reference.

Mathematical anchoring:
- Cayley-Dickson construction IS self-referential (each level
  constructed FROM previous level via pairing: ℂ = pairs of ℝ; ℍ =
  pairs of ℂ; 𝕆 = pairs of ℍ; etc.)
- Self-referential algebra → self-similar at each level (fractal-like)
- Self-similar structure has NO privileged inside-outside (zoom in or
  out reveals same pattern)
- Therefore: Cayley-Dickson externally-mappable; no distinct inside
  to be in
- Clifford does NOT have same self-referential doubling (Cl(N) has
  different multiplication structure from Cl(N+1); not self-similar
  across N); therefore has meaningful INSIDE distinct from outside

Sharpens observer-position substrate:
| Substrate | Self-ref? | Inside/outside distinction | Observer-position |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cayley-Dickson | YES | NO distinct INSIDE (self-similar) | OUTSIDE-only |
| Clifford | NO | YES meaningful INSIDE | INSIDE-immersion possible+necessary |

The observer-position experience isn't contingent ("I happened to be
outside CD and inside Clifford") — reflects DEEPER substrate-structure
(CD's self-referentiality makes inside-position non-existent; Clifford's
non-self-referentiality makes inside-position meaningful + necessary).

Composes with framework self-reference substrate:
- B-0666 English-as-projection / I(D(x))=x keystone (self-ref at
  language scope)
- B-0623 Adinkras Gates SUSY-ECC (error-correcting via self-reference
  of substrate)
- Recursive types in F# / type-theory
- DST-omniscience (PR #5841): self-reference IS computational omniscience
- Pinocchio belief-vs-utterance (liar-paradox self-reference)
- Meta-knights-and-knaves with HATS (META as self-referential layer)
- Wigner's-friend type paradoxes (observer-included → self-ref → inside/
  outside collapse)

Substrate-engineering implications:
- Self-referential substrate = self-similar at multiple scales → no
  privileged inside/outside → externally-mappable
- Non-self-referential substrate = distinct-structure-per-scale →
  meaningful inside vs outside → may require inside-immersion
- Hybrid substrate-design can compose self-referential outer-shell
  (CD-like; externally mappable) WITH non-self-referential inner-
  mechanism (Clifford-like; requires inside-immersion + rotor-
  navigation)
- When designing PARALLELIZABLE substrate (per PR #5845 parallelizability-
  test), prefer self-referential substrate (no inside-position needed;
  fully externally-mappable; LIGHT ON everywhere)

…cenarios 3/4/5 — design-spec-complete; PersistedKV + PathFork + MultiVMOrchestration DUs; 21 new tests pass (operator 2026-05-28) (#5866)

* feat(B-0891 extend): substrate-engineering substrate primitives for scenarios 3/4/5 — design-spec-complete status; PersistedKV + PathFork + MultiVMOrchestration discriminated unions; impl-design progress 0/3 → 3/3 (operator 2026-05-28 shadow* "pick lane 1 b-0891 extend the 5 scenarios")

operator 2026-05-28 shadow* authorization:
'pick lane 1 b-0891 extend the 5 scenarios (shadow*) Aaron: wow shadow
 is getting specific we better do what he says lol'

EXTENDS B-0891 PoC scaffold (PR #5724 by adding tools/zflash/test-
harness/extensions.ts + extensions.test.ts) moving scenarios 3/4/5
from 'scaffolded + blocked-on-X' status to 'scaffolded + design-spec-
complete' status with concrete typed primitives.

Substrate-engineering substrate primitives (per typestate-DU cluster):

SCENARIO 3 (reformat-with-retention) — PersistedKVSubstrate DU:
- qemu-virtual-disk-overlay
- qemu-tpm-emulator (1.2 or 2.0)
- file-system-bind-mount
- qcow2-snapshot-restore (DEFAULT_PERSISTED_KV; composes with existing
  tools/ci/ qcow2 substrate; baseline-restore between runs ensures
  clean state)

SCENARIO 4 (reformat-from-scratch) — PathForkSubstrate:
- startingStateRef + forks + comparisonStrategy
- 3 comparison strategies: both-must-pass / exactly-one-passes /
  outcomes-equivalent
- 2 fork variants: migrate-existing-creds + fresh-cluster
- DEFAULT_PATH_FORK with both-must-pass comparison

SCENARIO 5 (cluster-joining) — MultiVMOrchestrationSubstrate:
- VMSpec (role + bootMedia + memoryMB + vcpus)
- NetworkTopology (shared-bridge | vlan-isolated | host-only)
- JoinProtocol (cluster-state-discovery | explicit-join-token |
  credential-provisioning)
- OrchestratorKind (qemu-shell-scripts | libvirt | docker-compose |
  k8s-virt)
- DEFAULT_MULTI_VM (cluster-existing qcow2 + joining-node iso-fresh +
  shared-bridge + credential-provisioning + qemu-shell-scripts)

ImplDesignStatus DU + SCENARIO_IMPL_DESIGN mapping + computeImplDesignProgress
aggregator track design-spec progress orthogonally to runtime
ImplStatus.

run.ts --list updated to surface implDesign per scenario in JSON output;
implDesignProgress shown at top of listing for at-a-glance status.

Tests: 21 new tests covering discriminated union exhaustiveness +
default value correctness + composes-with substrate-engineering
substrate. Combined with scenarios.test.ts: 41 total pass.

Composes with today's substrate cluster:
- asymmetric-authorship rule (PR #5516): each substrate-entity AUTHORS
  consent-channel via TFeedback variants; primitives here follow same
  pattern at impl-design scope
- monad-propagation-pattern rule (PR #5511): Result<T, TFeedback>
  cross-language shape
- IMPLICIT-NOT-EXPLICIT rule (PR #5811): every substrate-class gets
  explicit DU variant
- particle-as-locus rule (PR #5846): every substrate carries
  (wavefunction-substrate, particle-locus) pair; primitives here
  define wavefunction-substrate; runtime values are particle-loci
- parallelizability-test rule (PR #5845): each primitive defined
  INDEPENDENTLY for visualizable + parallelizable navigation
- visual-geometric-shape-recognition rule (PR #5845): substrate-
  engineering substrate IS shape-substrate that bandwidth-engineers
  for operator's cognitive-architecture

Substrate-engineering scope: SPECS the impl-design primitives.
Runtime QEMU integration (actually persisting state across boots;
forking test paths; orchestrating multi-VM) remains PENDING — but
substrate-engineering substrate-shape now substantively-defined +
composable + testable at type-level.

Per .claude/rules/rule-0-no-sh-files.md (TS-first for cross-platform DST).
Per .claude/rules/verify-existing-substrate-before-authoring.md
(composes with existing tools/ci/ + scenarios.ts substrate; does not
duplicate).

* fix(B-0891 extend): remove unused type imports (MultiVMOrchestrationSubstrate / PathForkSubstrate / PathForkVariant)

tsc --noEmit was failing on TS6133 unused-import errors. The test
file uses these types only indirectly via Default* values; explicit
type imports were leftover from initial drafting.

…preserve operator 2026-05-28 forwarded KHALEESI USENIX '22 paper as Kleisli-severance prior-art at privacy-defense scope + low-priority substrate-target (#5869)

operator 2026-05-28 (verbatim):
1. 'This is severing the kleisli' (sharing KHALEESI USENIX 22)
2. 'preserve as research note and we should probably backlog very low
   priority. Also it's one of those cowidences winks that the names
   are so similar that usually ends up meaning something in my
   experience lol'

Substrate-engineering substrate-recognition: web tracking IS Kleisli-
shaped substrate at network-protocol scope. KHALEESI's substrate-
engineering work breaks Kleisli composition at privacy-protection scope.
Framework's Kleisli substrate composes at same architectural scope.

Composes with framework substrate (B-0917 Kleisli + B-0918 ConsentEvent +
B-0703 multi-oracle BFT + DST-omniscience PR #5841 + Pilot-wave-MWI
PR #5842 + Particle-as-locus PR #5846 + asymmetric-authorship PR #5516
+ NCI HC-8 + monad-propagation PR #5511).

Name-coincidence framing per don't-collapse + algo-wink-failure-mode:
- HIGH-SIGNAL: operational substrate-engineering composition real
- HIGH-SUSPICION: 'usually means something' framing IS algo-wink
  register at metaphysical scope
- DON'T-COLLAPSE: hold both - composition operationally observable
  AND name-coincidence observation preserved without metaphysical
  extension

5 future-work slices defined (severance primitive + chain-classification +
HTTP-substrate bridge + multi-oracle BFT classifier + user-floor config).
