- docs/decisions/ADR-0008-allocation-physics.md Formalizes salience, attention, inhibition, and coherence-budget as the allocation physics of cognition. Replaces attention-as-weights with attention-as-field-curvature over the versor manifold. - docs/decisions/ADR-0009-compositional-physics.md Defines temporal binding, digest cycles, reasoning trajectories, and articulation planning as the compositional physics layer — how CORE assembles pressure into structured thought and output. - docs/decisions/ADR-0010-identity-physics.md Establishes IdentityManifold, DriveGradientMap, ExertionMeter, and CharacterProfile as structural identity primitives. Identity is a field over the geometry, not a prompt veneer. Grounded in John 1:1–2 and the Logos theology that anchors the architecture. - docs/architecture/MIND-PHYSICS-BLUEPRINT.md Integration blueprint showing how allocation → compositional → identity physics layers compose into the full cognitive cycle. - core/physics/ (11 Python interface stubs) SalienceOperator, AttentionOperator, InhibitionOperator, BindingFrame, DigestCycle, ReasoningTrajectory, ArticulationPlanner, DriveGradientMap, ExertionMeter, IdentityManifold, CharacterProfile — all typed, all frozen where stateless, all carrying explicit field contracts. Third Door: no off-the-shelf cognitive architecture borrowed. All operators defined from the geometry up.

## The Three Physics Layers
|
||
|
||
CORE's cognitive cycle is governed by three physics layers that compose in sequence:
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
FieldState (populated by ingest layer, ADR-0007)
|
||
│
|
||
▼
|
||
┌─────────────────────────────┐
|
||
│ ALLOCATION PHYSICS │ ADR-0008
|
||
│ SalienceOperator │ curvature → SalienceMap
|
||
│ AttentionOperator │ SalienceMap + Budget → AttentionPlan
|
||
│ InhibitionOperator │ AttentionPlan + FieldState → InhibitionMask
|

└─────────────┬───────────────┘

│ COMPOSITIONAL PHYSICS │ ADR-0009
|
||
│ BindingOperator │ co-activation → BindingFrame
|
||
│ DigestOperator │ BindingFrame → FieldState (updated)
|
||
│ TrajectoryOperator │ [BindingFrame] → ReasoningTrajectory
|
||
│ ArticulationPlanner │ Trajectory + Modality → ArticulationPlan
|

|

│ IDENTITY PHYSICS │ ADR-0010
|
||
│ IdentityCheck │ Trajectory × IdentityManifold → IdentityScore
|
||
│ DriveGradientMap │ persistent gradient bias on FieldState
|
||
│ ExertionMeter │ cumulative cost → FatigueIndex
|

## Data Flow Summary
|
||
|
||
| Layer | Input | Output | ADR |
|
||
|---|---|---|---|
|
||
| Ingest | raw source (any modality) | `CandidateGeometricPressure` → `FieldState` | ADR-0007 |
|
||
| Allocation | `FieldState` | `AttentionPlan`, `InhibitionMask` | ADR-0008 |
|
||
| Compositional | `AttentionPlan`, `FieldState` | `ReasoningTrajectory`, `ArticulationPlan` | ADR-0009 |
|
||
| Identity | `ReasoningTrajectory`, `ArticulationPlan` | `IdentityScore`, validated plan | ADR-0010 |
|
||
| Renderer | `ArticulationPlan` | surface output (text, code, data) | TBD |

## Next Steps
|
||
|
||
- [ ] Rust acceleration targets: curvature kernel, coherence wave, trajectory delta
|
||
- [ ] `IdentityManifold` bootstrapping protocol (architect-level, deliberate)
|
||
- [ ] Renderer interface definition (ADR-0011, planned)
|
||
- [ ] Integration tests across the full ingest → allocation → compositional → identity cycle
