Unified Ontology and World Landing Codex

Truth hierarchy: canonical contracts and runtime evidence outrank metaphorical explanation. Scope: a formal binding of all metaphors in the source thread and a protocol for entering new digital or physical Worlds. It extends the existing Neuruh Universe and Opportunity Organism canon; it does not introduce a second universe or organism.

Status discipline: every claim carries one of these seven labels

Document map: eight divisions

The conversation moved through Worlds, galaxies, atoms, DNA, proteins, bacteria, brain, nervous system, blood, heart, arms, legs, and physical reality. That movement was not random. Each metaphor exposes a different design problem: scale, composition, specialization, signaling, resource flow, command, protection, adaptation, and emergence.

The danger is literalizing the metaphors into duplicate software: one "atomic" registry, another "DNA" engine, a "brain" router, a "bacteria" swarm, and a "world" store that all represent overlapping truth. The cure is one formal ontology with multiple human-readable views.

Scale invariance: the same grammar applies at every scale. An object has identity, state, relationships, evidence, capabilities, constraints, resources, authority, lifecycle, events, goals, actions, outcomes, and learning. A household asset, a buyer campaign, a product, a company, and a World differ in scope and contracts, not in the need for this grammar.

The canonical node: one object shape at every scale

canonical_node = {
  node_id, node_type, names[], world_id?, parent_ids[],
  state: {intended, declared, observed, verified, deployed},
  evidence_refs[], claims[], conflicts[],
  capabilities[], constraints[], resources[], authority,
  relationships[], lifecycle, events[], goals[],
  actions[], outcomes[], versions[], provenance
}

Five state values are kept distinct on every node: intended, declared, observed, verified, deployed. Division VIII makes the rule explicit: they are never silently conflated.

Formal relationship contract: every bond is a typed, evidenced object

relationship = {
  relationship_id, type, from_id, to_id,
  direction, world_scope, evidence_refs[], confidence,
  rights, authority, constraints[], economics?,
  valid_from, valid_to?, state, provenance, version
}

The metabolism loop

Seven metabolic functions

Microbiome admission rules: what an external provider must satisfy to extend capacity

1. External model or provider has a typed contract and limited authority.
2. Data rights, privacy, retention, cost, latency, coverage, and failure are known.
3. Outputs are evidence, candidate transformations, or proposals, not unquestioned truth.
4. Health and drift are monitored; fallback or removal is possible.
5. The organism keeps canonical identity and state and can change providers without losing its memory or product contract.
6. External capacity improves outcome or economics enough to justify the added entropy.

Cluster-to-bloom gates: seven stages, each with a gate that must be passed

The world contract: what a landed World must declare

world_definition = {
  world_id, version, name, purpose, owner, status,
  actors[], assets[], events[], demand_supply_models,
  ontology_extensions[], rules[], policies[], jurisdictions[],
  evidence_sources[], identity_methods[],
  installed_ingredients[], organs[], recipes[], products[], emitters[],
  economics, resource_budgets, authority_model,
  success_metrics[], outcomes[], transfer_limits[],
  dependencies[], interfaces[], lifecycle, receipts
}

Ten landing questions, and why each one matters

Voice-to-execution: from spoken intent to updated estimate

1. Preserve the original utterance and timestamp; do not replace it with only a polished summary.
2. Segment observation, hypothesis, decision, command, question, constraint, and emotion or priority signal.
3. Link statements to existing objects; create candidates rather than silently rewriting canon.
4. Expose ambiguity and ask only decisive clarifications.
5. Generate artifacts and tasks with owners, definitions of done, evidence, and approval classes.
6. Return execution and outcomes to the same thread or World, so founder understanding evolves with reality.

Engineering acceptance: seven tests, each with a pass condition

This artifact is a synthesis and engineering expansion of the complete spoken thread plus pre-existing Neuruh founder canon retrieved from the File Library. It is not a verbatim transcript. Repeated or hazy dialogue was normalized into decisions, unresolved questions, architectural rulings, recommended specifications, and execution plans.
