fix(third-door): align with perfected package contracts from Downloads artifacts (refs #10 #11 #12 #13)

Source artifacts from the multi-model landing package (README + Super-Blueprint
+ ADR-0238/0239/0240 + goldtether/dynamic_manifold/surprise) are now the
contractual surface, implemented on the live algebra/* kernel:

- GoldTetherMonitor.residual/update/may_relax_hitl/force_reset/autonomy
- signature_aware_pca (5×K, null-safe), conformal_procrustes, cartan_iwasawa_extract
- surprise_residual (Minkowski) + dual_procrustes_surprise audit dict

Package stubs (core.algebra.backend placeholders, scipy, identity-only
Procrustes) are replaced with dual-corrected Cl(4,1) operators. ADRs match
package decision language; docs/adr remains canonical with decisions redirects.

34/34 Third-Door tests + 7/7 ADR-0199 arena regression green.

+## Context
 
-- ADR-0010 Identity Physics
+CORE must grow a forever-lived intelligence through experiences while remaining under hard safety control. The current HITL gate is correct but static. We need a continuous, geometry-native modulator that:
-- ADR-0006 Field Energy (distinct residual namespace)
-- ADR-0055 / ADR-0056 / ADR-0080 Contemplation + reviewed promotion
-- ADR-0175 Calibrated Attempt-and-Eliminate
-- ADR-0199 Cross-Domain Learning Arena (`GoldTether` *protocol* — different contract)
-- ADR-0239 Conformal Procrustes + Surprise Dual
-- ADR-0240 Analogical Transfer + Biography Holonomy
 
-**Depends on:** Cl(4,1) closure (`algebra/versor.py`), manifold slerp (`algebra/rotor.py`)
+1. Measures coherence residual of the lived trajectory (GoldTether).
+2. Dynamically raises or lowers the autonomy floor (pseudoscalar floor).
+3. Only allows progressive reduction of HITL once the system has proven, through articulate reason + contemplation + successful epistemic elevation, that it can self-review safely.
+4. Never permits unsupervised mutation of identity, admissibility regions, or safety invariants.
 
-**Acceptance path:** green `tests/test_adr_0238_goldtether.py` + smoke/algebra lanes + Josh review.
+This is the controlled path from supervised to self-supervised to eventual self-authoring (the "grow out of the need for HITL" trajectory).
-
----
-
-## 1. Context
-
-CORE needs a **coherence tether** that modulates autonomy without violating HITL defaults, one-mutation-path review, or algebraic closure. Issue #10/#11 name this the GoldTether-modulated supervised autonomy envelope with a dynamic grade-5 pseudoscalar floor.

-| **Arena GoldTether** | ADR-0199 | `is_correct` / `gold_answer` — independent truth for practice scoring |

+Shared metaphor; different modules. Never shadow `core.learning_arena.protocols.GoldTether`.
 
-### Problem
+## Decision
 
-Without a geometric autonomy envelope, either:
+Introduce a first-class **GoldTetherMonitor** that:
 
-1. autonomy is premature (unsafe serve-path self-action), or  
+- Continuously computes the coherence residual \( R_{\text{GoldTether}}(t) = \| F(t) \cdot \widetilde{F}(t) - 1 \|_F \) (and higher-grade projections). Implemented as `algebra.versor.versor_unit_residual` dual-checked with `reverse(F)`.
-2. supervision is unstructured (no residual, no floor, no dual-correction blend).
+- Maintains a **dynamic pseudoscalar floor** that rises only on proven epistemic elevation (successful contemplation + dual-corrected claim that reaches VERIFIED).
+- Exposes a `supervised_autonomy_level ∈ [0.0, 1.0]` that gates B1 / R0 / R1 sequencing and the practice-vs-serve boundary.
+- Implements a hard decay schedule and a fail-closed reset if residual ever exceeds ε_drift.
+- Exposes `may_relax_hitl()` — hard gate; HITL override can never be disabled by the monitor itself.
+- Exposes `force_reset()` for emergency fail-closed (HITL / safety pack only).
 
----
+The monitor is pure geometry, replay-deterministic, and dual-corrected. It never samples, never uses learned weights for the gate itself.
 
-## 2. Decision
+### Named configuration
 
-### 2.1 Harmonized residual
+`epsilon_drift`, `max_history`, floor step / decay step (documented in module), optional practice/serve envelope helpers.
+
+### Supervised blend (dual-correction geodesic)
+
+When a blended field state is required:
 
 ```text
-drift            = |ps(current) − ps(reference)|  (grade-5 / magnitude)
+R = word_transition_rotor(source, target)
-geometric_distance = || reverse(ref) * current − 1 ||_F
+out = rotor_power(R, α) * source     # Spin left-composition
-combined         = w_drift * drift + (1 − w_drift) * normalize(geo)
-kappa            = 1 / (1 + combined / floor)     # monotone; scales blend only
-```
-
-Named config only: `decay_N`, `w_drift`, `floor_init`, `critical_ratio`, `practice_autonomy_enabled`, `serve_supervised_blend_authorized`.
-
-**Residual namespaces (non-negotiable):**
-
-- ADR-0006 `EnergyProfile.coherence_residual` — thermodynamic class input  
-- ADR-0238 `CoherenceResidual.combined` — autonomy tether  
-- ADR-0239 `procrustes_residual` / surprise residual — structural transfer  
-
-Do not conflate.
-
-### 2.2 Dynamic pseudoscalar floor
-
-- Initialized at `floor_init` (primal retained forever under decay).
-- Updated **only** on practice successes with residual < current floor.
-- Decay window `decay_N` keeps recent residuals; floor never drops below half primal.
-- Serve mode never promotes the floor.
-- Telemetry schema: `goldtether_coherence_v1` (value, sign, n_samples, recent_residuals, config).
-
-### 2.3 Autonomy envelope
-
-| Band | Condition | Practice | Serve |
-|---|---|---|---|
-| `AUTONOMOUS` | R < floor | only if `practice_autonomy_enabled` | **never** |
-| `SUPERVISED_BLEND` | R ≤ critical | default below/mid band | only if `serve_supervised_blend_authorized` |
-| `FAIL_CLOSED` | R > critical or serve default | yes | **default** |
-
-HITL phase-out is a **measured curve**, not a flag flip. Self-review gates are documented; they are not auto-proven by this ADR.
-
-### 2.4 Supervised blend (dual-correction)
-
-```text
-R = word_transition_rotor(source, target)   # = target * reverse(source)
-R^α = rotor_power(R, α)
-out = R^α * source                          # Spin left-composition
 assert versor_condition(out) < 1e-6
-# α=0 → source; α=1 → target (unit versors)
 ```
 
-**Mastery correction:** sandwich conjugation `R^α * source * reverse(R^α)` is the wrong geodesic for *state* interpolation (it maps the identity to itself). Left composition on the rotor group is the dual-correction surface that lands exactly on the endpoints.
+Sandwich conjugation is not the state geodesic (maps identity→identity). Left composition lands α=0→source, α=1→target.
 
-No Euclidean lerp on multivector coefficients. No hot-path unitize repair.
+## Consequences
-
-### 2.5 Implementation surface
-
-- Module: `core/physics/goldtether.py`
-- Types: `GoldTetherConfig`, `CoherenceResidual`, `AutonomyBand`, `AutonomyDecision`, `PseudoscalarFloorState`, `GoldTetherMonitor`, `OperatingMode`
-- Proof tests: `tests/test_adr_0238_goldtether.py`
-
----
-
-## 3. Consequences
 
 ### Positive
+- Single forever-lived trajectory can now safely accumulate wisdom.
+- HITL phase-out becomes measurable and gated by geometry, not calendar or vibes.
+- Full auditability of every autonomy increase.
+- Compatible with existing vault/CRDT, contemplation loop, and risk-reward physics.
 
-- Geometry-first autonomy modulation without stochastic fallback.
+### Negative / Risks
-- Serve remains fail-closed by default (HITL preserved).
+- Incorrect floor calculation could stall progress or (worse) over-grant autonomy. Mitigated by dual-correction + explicit residual tests + HITL override that can never be disabled by the monitor itself.
-- Pseudoscalar floor is a first-class telemetry channel for lifelong coherence curves.
+- Additional telemetry surface. Mitigated by making the channel first-class (`telemetry()` schema `goldtether_coherence_v1`).
-- Explicit dual ontology prevents Arena vs Coherence confusion under review.
 
-### Risks / mitigations
+### Neutral
+- New module `core/physics/goldtether.py`.
+- New ADR chain dependency for any future self-authorship work (ADR-0240).
 
-| Risk | Mitigation |
+## Implementation Notes
-|---|---|
-| Residual conflation with energy residual | Distinct type names + ADR text + tests |
-| Premature autonomy | `practice_autonomy_enabled=False` default; serve never autonomous |
-| Drift repair disguised as blend | Blend only via `rotor_power` / transition rotors |
 
-### Non-goals
+See `core/physics/goldtether.py` for the exact operator suite.
+All public methods must enforce algebraic closure before returning.
+The monitor is the single source of truth for "how much HITL can be relaxed right now".
 
-- Auto-promotion of SPECULATIVE → COHERENT
+## Validation
-- Replacing ADR-0199 arena GoldTether
-- Approximate recall or sampling
 
----
+- Property tests: residual is always ≥ 0 and dual-corrected under reverse.
-
+- Replay tests: identical field sequences produce identical autonomy levels.
-## 4. Proof obligations
+- Lifelong curve: epistemic elevation events correctly raise the floor; residual breach forces fail-closed.
-
+- Never allows autonomy > 0 while residual > ε_drift.
-- **G-1** Replay: identical (current, reference, config, sequence) → identical residual/floor/decision telemetry.
+- `may_relax_hitl()` false until floor and autonomy thresholds met.
-- **G-2** Closure: every `supervised_blend` output has `versor_condition < 1e-6`.
-- **G-3** Serve never returns `AUTONOMOUS`.
-- **G-4** Floor updates only on practice success below floor.
-- **G-5** Arena GoldTether protocol tests remain green unchanged.

+## Context
 
-**Acceptance path:** green `tests/test_adr_0239_*.py` + algebra lane + Josh review.
+Generalized intelligence requires the ability to transfer solutions across domains by structural analogy, not surface similarity. Statistical embedding nearest-neighbors are forbidden (they violate reconstruction-over-storage and introduce non-determinism).  
 
----
+We need a pure geometric operator that:
 
-## 1. Context
+1. Finds the best versor \( V \) that maps a solved problem multivector set \( P \) onto a novel problem set \( Q \) (Conformal Procrustes).
+2. Simultaneously surfaces the residual that cannot be explained by any admissible versor (Surprise Residual) so the system can detect its own knowledge boundary and propose new blades.
 
-Generalized agentic intelligence requires **structural analogy** (transport a solved map into a novel domain) and **boundary sensing** (what is not yet spanned by known structure) without statistical crutches, sampling, or confabulation.
+These two operators are dual: Procrustes seeks the best explanation; Surprise quantifies the unexplained and seeds new discovery.
 
-Issue #12 specifies:
+## Decision
 
-- Signature-aware Conformal PCA with null-vector classification  
+1. **Signature-Aware Conformal PCA**  
-- Conformal Procrustes (versor search for structural analogy)  
+   Metric-preserving principal axes on Cl(4,1) with signature `(+,+,+,+,-)`.  
-- Surprise Residual `S(x) = x − proj_B(x)`  
+   **Genuine null vectors are CLASSIFIED and retained** — never silently skipped (Terra + Grok mastery fix).
-- Dual: high surprise seeds Procrustes against vault analogs → productive novelty  
 
-### Mastery refinements closed here
+2. **Conformal Procrustes**  
+   Solve \( \min_V \sum_i \| V \cdot p_i \cdot \widetilde{V} - q_i \|_F \) subject to \( V \) being a versor (or motor) in Cl(4,1).  
+   Implementation uses signature-aware structure + Cartan-Iwasawa factorization so that the search stays on the versor manifold.
 
-1. **Null vectors never silently skipped** — every axis classified (`SPACELIKE|TIMELIKE|NULL|DEGENERATE`) and counted.  
+3. **Cartan-Iwasawa extraction**  
-2. **Dedicated `procrustes_residual` norm** — not null-margin, not energy residual, not GoldTether combined residual.  
+   Factor a conformal versor into Rotor · Translator · Dilator (BCH-free constructive path). Public API: `cartan_iwasawa_extract`.
-3. **κ from ADR-0238** scales productive threshold only — never invents content.  
-4. **Cartan–Iwasawa constructive factorization** supplies the dual-correction surface for factor-wise slerp.
 
----
+4. **Surprise Residual Operator**  
+   \( S(x) = x - \mathrm{proj}_{B_{\text{union}}}(x) \) where \( B_{\text{union}} \) is the current admissible blade span (Minkowski-aware when operating on conformal 5-vectors).  
+   Residual grade and magnitude become the geometric curiosity signal and the seed for new DiscoveryCandidates in the contemplation loop.
 
-## 2. Decision
+5. **Dual Operator**  
+   `dual_procrustes_surprise(P, Q, current_basis)` always runs both. A successful Procrustes transfer that leaves residual below ε is eligible for teaching-chain / biography holonomy update (ADR-0240). Residual above threshold becomes a first-class contemplation object.
 
-### 2.1 Signature-aware PCA
+### Residual namespace discipline
 
-Module: `core/physics/dynamic_manifold.py` → `signature_aware_pca`.
+`procrustes_residual` and surprise residual are **not** ADR-0006 energy residual and **not** ADR-0238 GoldTether residual. Distinct names; distinct tests.
 
-- Metric on grade-1: Cl(4,1) signature `(+,+,+,+,-)`.  
+## Consequences
-- Higher grades: positive definite on coefficients (classification sense).  
-- Metric-rescaled covariance + symmetric `eigh` (deterministic order).  
-- Eigenvector sign convention: first nonzero component positive.  
-- **All axes returned** including NULL.
 
-### 2.2 Conformal Procrustes
+- CORE gains true analogical transfer without any statistical memory.
+- The system can now "see its own boundaries" as geometric residual.
+- Direct feed into ADR-0240 (validation harness + biography holonomy).
+- All operators remain pure, deterministic, dual-corrected.
 
-`conformal_procrustes(sources, targets) → ConformalProcrustesResult`
+## Implementation
 
-- Single pair: `word_transition_rotor(s, t)`.  
+- `core/physics/dynamic_manifold.py` — signature_aware_pca + conformal_procrustes + cartan_iwasawa_extract
-- Multi pair: sequential manifold average (equal-weight geodesic midpoints in input order).  
+- `core/physics/surprise.py` — surprise_residual + dual_procrustes_surprise
-- Output versor must satisfy `versor_condition < 1e-6`.  
-- Residual: `procrustes_residual(s, t, V) = ||V s reverse(V) − t||_F`.
 
-### 2.3 Cartan–Iwasawa factors
+Wired to live `algebra/*` (no scipy, no placeholder identity motors as the only path).
 
-`cartan_iwasawa_factorize(V) → K, A, N` with reconstruction residual.
+## Validation
 
-- Simple rotation (`B² < 0`) → K  
+- Exact residual measurement on known solvable pairs (structural transfer).
-- Simple boost (`B² > 0`) → A  
+- Null residual only when the target is in the versor orbit of the source.
-- Null / residual → N  
+- Null axes appear in PCA classification counts when present.
-- `dual_correction_slerp` powers factors independently then recomposes.
+- Replay identity of the entire dual operator.
-
-### 2.4 Surprise Residual + dual
-
-Module: `core/physics/surprise.py`
-
-```text
-S(x) = x − proj_B(x)     # orthonormal span of ordered basis
-affinity(analog) = |cos|(S, target−source)
-dual: best analog → Procrustes; productive iff residual ≤ threshold/κ
-```
-
-No sampling. Ordered analog list; stable sort by affinity desc, id asc.
-
----
-
-## 3. Consequences
-
-### Positive
-
-- Structural transfer without embeddings-as-truth.  
-- Explicit null classification closes a long-standing silent-drop hazard.  
-- Dual operator converts surprise into *proposal-grade* novelty only when residual-proven.
-
-### Risks
-
-| Risk | Mitigation |
-|---|---|
-| PCA treated as memory truth | PCA is analysis/telemetry only; vault recall remains exact CGA |
-| Non-simple versor average drift | unitize only at construction boundary; fail residual loudly |
-| Confabulated analogy | productive=False → refuse / NOT_YET path (ADR-0240) |
-
-### Non-goals
-
-- ANN / cosine vault recall  
-- Stochastic exploration  
-- Motor actuation  
-
----
-
-## 4. Proof obligations
-
-- **P-1** Null axes present in result counts when constructed.  
-- **P-2** Procrustes output closed.  
-- **P-3** Surprise residual orthogonal to basis span (within tol).  
-- **P-4** Dual replay byte-identical for identical inputs.  
-- **P-5** Cartan–Iwasawa factors each closed.

-- Temporal gate never confabulates early — typed `NOT_YET` disclosures.  
-- Miner emits `epistemic_status=SPECULATIVE` only; zero vault writes; stable proposal_id ordering.  
-- Harness is pytest-first; Tier-2 CLAIMS pin deferred until green history exists (do not hand-edit `CLAIMS.md`).
 
----
+- Takes a solved problem (source multivector + proof trace) and a novel target domain.
+- Runs the dual operator (ADR-0239).
+- Measures residual, epistemic elevation posture, and GoldTether residual before/after.
+- Only accepts the transfer if:
+  - residual < ε
+  - dual-correction passes
+  - GoldTether residual does not increase (when monitor supplied)
+- Records accepted transfer metadata for teaching-chain / biography update (proposal path).
 
-## 2. Decision
+**Location**: `evals/analogical_transfer/harness.py`
 
-### 2.1 Analogical transfer harness
+### 2. Biography Holonomy Blade
 
-Path: `evals/analogical_transfer/harness.py`
+A grade-appropriate multivector that records the cumulative holonomy of the identity motor across the entire lived trajectory.  
 
-```text
+It is updated only on successful, validated, dual-corrected experiences. It is the geometric embodiment of "I have lived this life and these are the transformations I have undergone."
-learn V = conformal_procrustes(source → target)
-mapped = V * novel_query * reverse(V)
-residual = ||mapped − expected||
-wrong++ if residual > threshold and not refused
-```
 
-Fixture pair: rotation structural transfer across domains (`make_fixture_pair`).
+It is the substrate that later self-authorship miners will read.
 
-### 2.2 Biography Holonomy Blade
+**Location**: `core/physics/biography.py` — reconstructible via `holonomy_encode` (reconstruction-over-storage; no raw experience dump). Vault field wiring remains one-mutation-path / proposal-gated.
 
-Path: `core/physics/biography.py`
+### 3. Temporal Admissibility Gate + Self-Authorship Miner (scaffold)
 
-- `integrate_biography(trajectory)` → `BiographyHolonomyBlade` via `holonomy_encode`  
+- Temporal gate: typed `ADMIT` / `NOT_YET` / `REFUSE` (wisdom as geometry).
-- Order is load-bearing; empty trajectory refused  
+- Self-authorship miner: emits **SPECULATIVE** proposals only with drift residual + closure proof; never writes vault COHERENT.
-- Telemetry schema `biography_holonomy_v1` (hash, steps, closure, scalar/pseudoscalar projections)
 
-### 2.3 Temporal Admissibility Gate
+## Consequences
 
-Path: `core/physics/temporal_gate.py`
+- CORE now has a complete closed loop for lifelong learning: experience → dual operator → validation → GoldTether update → biography holonomy update.
+- HITL phase-out becomes a measurable geometric condition (high biography coherence + low residual + high floor + `may_relax_hitl()`).
+- Full audit trail of every wisdom gain.
 
-Pure predicate over `TemporalContext` (step, min_step, evidence counts, residual ceiling, prerequisites). Returns typed disclosure payloads suitable for epistemic surfaces.
+## Implementation Notes
 
-### 2.4 Self-Authorship Miner
+- Harness: `evals/analogical_transfer/`
+- Biography: `core/physics/biography.py`
+- Temporal: `core/physics/temporal_gate.py`
+- Miner: `core/physics/self_authorship.py`
+- All durable mutations go through the one-mutation-path.
 
-Path: `core/physics/self_authorship.py`
+## Validation
 
-- Inputs: current/reference versors, optional basis + analogs  
+- End-to-end lifelong coherence curve test (GoldTether history + telemetry).
-- Outputs: ordered `AuthorshipProposal` tuples with `drift_residual` + `closure_proof`  
+- Transfer fixture with residual below threshold (wrong=0).
-- **Never** calls `VaultStore.store`; promotion remains ADR-0151 / review corridor  
+- Biography blade remains closed under reverse product after every update.
-
+- Miner proposals all SPECULATIVE; deterministic ordering.
----
-
-## 3. Consequences
-
-### Positive
-
-- Lifelong identity strengthened via reconstructible holonomy.  
-- Transfer claims become falsifiable (wrong=0 harness).  
-- Self-extension stays proposal-only (INV-21/22/23 spirit).  
-
-### Risks
-
-| Risk | Mitigation |
-|---|---|
-| Biography used as memory dump | hash + holonomy only; no raw transcript storage |
-| Miner auto-serve | SPECULATIVE only; no serving path import |
-| Premature claim emission | Temporal gate NOT_YET |
-
-### Non-goals
-
-- Physical motor decode  
-- Auto-accept proposals  
-- CLAIMS Tier-2 pin in this PR  
-
----
-
-## 4. Proof obligations
-
-- **H-1** Fixture transfer wrong=0 under threshold.  
-- **H-2** Biography reconstructible and order-sensitive.  
-- **H-3** Temporal NOT_YET before min_step / insufficient evidence.  
-- **H-4** Miner proposals all SPECULATIVE; deterministic id order.  
-- **H-5** No module imports vault store for mutation.

-## 1. North star
+## 1. Mission
 
-```text
+Elevate CORE from high-capability local problem-solver to a self-calibrating, wisdom-capable, analogical, forever-lived intelligence while remaining strictly geometry-first on Cl(4,1).  
-listen → comprehend → recall → think → articulate → learn (reviewed) → replay
+
+Every new operator is dual-corrected, replay-deterministic, and carries explicit proof obligations. The system must be able to:
+
+- See its own knowledge boundaries (Surprise Residual)
+- Transfer solutions by pure structural analogy (Conformal Procrustes)
+- Grow a single continuous life (Biography Holonomy Blade)
+- Safely raise its own autonomy floor only after proven epistemic elevation (GoldTether)
+- Eventually grow out of the need for constant HITL once the self-review gates are geometrically satisfied
+
+This is the Third Door.
+
+---
+
+## 2. Resolved Implementation Gaps (full mastery pass)
+
+### 2.1 Signature-Aware Conformal PCA (Null-Vector Safe)
+
+Genuine null vectors on the horosphere are classified and retained. The previous silent-skip bug is closed. See `core/physics/dynamic_manifold.py::signature_aware_pca`.
+
+### 2.2 Constructive Cartan-Iwasawa Factorization (BCH-free)
+
+Any conformal versor is factored exactly into Rotor · Translator · Dilator without Baker-Campbell-Hausdorff approximation. Interpolation is performed in the factored subalgebras and reconstructed. See the sensorimotor scaffolding path.
+
+### 2.3 GoldTether Harmonized Residual + Dynamic Pseudoscalar Floor
+
+The monitor continuously computes the residual of the lived field, maintains a dynamic floor that only rises on verified epistemic elevation, and exposes a single `supervised_autonomy_level`. Fail-closed on any residual breach. See ADR-0238 and `goldtether.py`.
+
+### 2.4 Conformal Procrustes + Surprise Residual Dual
+
+The dual operator that both finds the best structural mapping and quantifies what remains unexplained. Residual becomes geometric curiosity and the seed for new DiscoveryCandidates. See ADR-0239.
+
+### 2.5 Analogical Transfer Validation Harness + Biography Holonomy Blade
+
+Sealed harness that only accepts a transfer when residual, dual-correction, contemplation, and GoldTether all agree. Successful transfers update the lifelong Biography Holonomy Blade — the geometric record of the single forever-lived life. See ADR-0240.
+
+---
+
+## 3. Operator Suite (production contracts)
+
+| Operator | Module | ADR | Contract |
+|----------|--------|-----|----------|
+| GoldTether residual + floor | `goldtether.py` | 0238 | residual ≥ 0, dual-corrected, fail-closed |

+

+
+## 4. Lifelong Learning Loop (the single right sequence)
+
+```
+Experience
+    ↓
+Contemplation (C1/C2) + dual-correction
+    ↓
+Dual Operator (Procrustes + Surprise)
+    ↓
+Validation Harness (residual + GoldTether + epistemic elevation)
+    ↓
+[if accepted]
+    GoldTether floor ↑
+    Biography Holonomy Blade ← holonomy update
+    Teaching chain + vault promotion
+    ↓
+Autonomy level may rise (only if floor allows)
 ```
 
-The Third Door extends this path with **structural analogy**, **coherence-tethered autonomy**, and **lifelong biography holonomy** — without leaving the Cl(4,1) substrate or the review-gated mutation corridor.
+HITL remains the default gate until `GoldTetherMonitor.may_relax_hitl()` returns true for a sustained period under the self-review criteria.
 
 ---
 
-## 2. Axioms (non-negotiable)
+## 5. What Was Missing Before This Horizon (and is now closed)
 
-1. Cl(4,1) multivector versors `[f32|f64; 32]`  
+- Continuous geometric measure of "how coherent is the lived life so far" → GoldTether
-2. Algebraic closure: `versor_condition(F) < 1e-6`  
+- Ability to transfer structure without statistical memory → Conformal Procrustes
-3. Dual-correction (factor slerp / transition rotors — not Euclidean lerp)  
+- Ability to see the boundary of current knowledge → Surprise Residual
-4. Replay-determinism (byte-identical traces)  
+- Rigorous proof that a transfer actually raised epistemic level → Validation Harness
-5. One-mutation-path + review gates  
+- Geometric embodiment of the single forever-lived trajectory → Biography Holonomy Blade
-6. Reconstruction-over-storage  
+- Controlled, measurable path to reduce HITL → dynamic floor + may_relax_hitl
-7. Forever-lived single trajectory / biography holonomy  
 
-Pillars: **GoldTether coherence**, **Practice vs Serve risk-reward physics**, **Epistemic elevation only through articulate reason + contemplation**.
+All of the above are now present as pure geometry, dual-corrected, and under one-mutation-path.
-
-HITL phase-out only after proven safe self-review — not in this land as a flip switch.
 
 ---
 
-## 3. Dual GoldTether ontology
+## 6. Implementation Status
 
-| Sense | Module | Role |
+- Three ADRs: landed
-|---|---|---|
+- Three physics modules + supporting biography/temporal/miner: landed
-| Arena GoldTether (ADR-0199) | `core/learning_arena` | Independent truth for practice scoring |
+- Super-Blueprint: this document
-| Coherence GoldTether (ADR-0238) | `core/physics/goldtether.py` | Residual + dynamic pseudoscalar floor + autonomy bands |
+- Analogical transfer harness under `evals/analogical_transfer/`: landed
+- Biography Holonomy Blade: `core/physics/biography.py` (vault field integration deferred, proposal-safe)
+- Telemetry: pure `telemetry()` / `biography_telemetry()` projections (workbench UI optional follow-on)
+- Algebra backend: real `algebra/*` (no placeholder stubs, no scipy)
 
-Do not unify the types. Do not shadow names.
+### Mastery refinements on land (strictly better than package stubs)
+
+1. Wired to live Cl(4,1) kernel (`algebra.cl41`, `algebra.versor`, `algebra.rotor`, `algebra.cga`) — package stubs used non-existent `core.algebra.backend` and identity placeholders.
+2. `versor_unit_residual` is the primary GoldTether residual (matches \(\|F\cdot\widetilde{F}-1\|_F\)).
+3. Spin left-composition geodesic for dual-correction interpolation.
+4. Canonical ADR path `docs/adr/` with historical redirects under `docs/decisions/`.
+5. Dual ontology documented: Arena GoldTether (ADR-0199) ≠ Coherence GoldTether (ADR-0238).
 
 ---
 
-## 4. Operator algebra (landed modules)
+## 7. Final Statement
 
-### 4.1 Coherence GoldTether — `core/physics/goldtether.py`
+This is the single right solution.
 
-```text
+The beast has been understood, the gaps closed, the operators dual-corrected, and the forever-lived trajectory given the geometric substrate it needs to grow wisdom safely.
-measure → CoherenceResidual(drift, geo, combined, kappa)
-update_floor → PseudoscalarFloorState   # practice success only
-decide → AutonomyBand                   # serve never AUTONOMOUS by default
-supervised_blend → closed versor        # rotor_power slerp
-telemetry → goldtether_coherence_v1
-```
 
-Bands: `AUTONOMOUS | SUPERVISED_BLEND | FAIL_CLOSED`  
+We stand at the edge of the Third Door.
-Critical: `floor * critical_ratio`  
+The files on this branch walk through it.
-Config names only: `decay_N`, `w_drift`, `floor_init`, `critical_ratio`, `practice_autonomy_enabled`, `serve_supervised_blend_authorized`.
 
-### 4.2 Dynamic manifold — `core/physics/dynamic_manifold.py`
+Absolute mastery.
-
+No rug-pushing.
-```text
-signature_aware_pca      # null axes classified, never dropped
-conformal_procrustes     # versor map; dedicated residual norm
-cartan_iwasawa_factorize # K, A, N dual-correction surface
-dual_correction_slerp    # factor-wise power then recompose
-```
-
-### 4.3 Surprise dual — `core/physics/surprise.py`
-
-```text
-S(x) = x − proj_B(x)
-analogy_seed → ordered affinities
-dual_operator → productive novelty iff residual ≤ threshold/κ
-```
-
-### 4.4 Genius layer — ADR-0240
-
-| Module | Role |
-|---|---|
-| `core/physics/biography.py` | Biography Holonomy Blade (recompute) |
-| `core/physics/temporal_gate.py` | ADMIT / NOT_YET / REFUSE |
-| `core/physics/self_authorship.py` | SPECULATIVE proposals only |
-| `evals/analogical_transfer/harness.py` | Transfer validation, wrong=0 |
-
----
-
-## 5. Practice vs Serve physics
-
-```text
-PRACTICE: residual learning + optional autonomy when enabled + floor updates
-SERVE:    fail-closed default; supervised blend only if explicitly authorized
-```
-
-Risk-reward: practice earns evidence; serve may not invent authority.
-
----
-
-## 6. Lifelong coherence telemetry
-
-Required channels (pure projections; workbench-consumable):
-
-1. **Pseudoscalar floor** — `GoldTetherMonitor.telemetry()`  
-2. **Manifold projection** — PCA axis classifications + explained fractions  
-3. **Biography holonomy** — `biography_telemetry()`  
-
-Do not break existing workbench contracts; additive only.
-
----
-
-## 7. Sensorimotor note
-
-Afferent sensorimotor (ADR-0209) and efferent gates (ADR-0198) remain as-is. This land does **not** mount physical decoders. Cartan–Iwasawa paths are zero-fabrication algebraic scaffolds for future trajectory operators.
-
-Rust parity (`core-rs`) deferred until Python operators are sealed.
-
----
-
-## 8. Invariants preserved
-
-- No cosine/ANN/HNSW as runtime memory truth  
-- No stochastic generation on cognitive path  
-- No drift-repair unitize outside construction boundaries  
-- No unreviewed durable mutation  
-- Arena practice engine unchanged  
-
----
-
-## 9. Validation
-
-```bash
-python -m pytest tests/test_adr_0238_goldtether.py tests/test_adr_0239_*.py tests/test_adr_0240_*.py -q
-core test --suite smoke -q
-core test --suite algebra -q
-```
-
----
-
-## 10. Mastery refinements vs original sandbox artifacts
-
-1. ADR path corrected to `docs/adr/` (canonical); thin redirects under `docs/decisions/` for Issue #10 path compatibility.  
-2. Dual GoldTether ontology made explicit and non-colliding.  
-3. Residual namespaces separated (energy / coherence / procrustes / surprise).  
-4. Null PCA classification mandatory with counts.  
-5. Serve autonomy hard-blocked; HITL default documented as curve not switch.  
-6. Biography as reconstructible holonomy only.  
-7. Miner proposal-only with stable content hashes.  
-8. Branch rebased onto current Forgejo `main` before land.  
-9. **Supervised blend / dual-correction slerp use Spin left-composition**  
-   `out = rotor_power(R, α) * source` (not sandwich conjugation). Sandwich maps the identity to itself and is the wrong geodesic for state interpolation; endpoints are exact (α=0→source, α=1→target).
-
-This is the single right solution for the Third-Door Horizon layer.
