Operator ruling on the T2/T3 blood-brain barrier, plus the doctrine change it forces. No code.

What was measured, and what was concluded from it

A three-agent audit mapped the barrier across lance-graph, OGAR, lance-graph-java (@ 8720d1d) and r2sleigh (@ 99d2553). On NARS it found: repo-wide grep of lgj returns 3 hits, all prose, all in one unshipped plan; lance_graph_contract::nars is not in the G11 allowlist; the sibling callcenter membrane says it outright — "no VSA / RoleKey / NarsTruth crosses the membrane."

The measurement is right. The conclusion — "NARS is off the ladder entirely; the ladder is selection-shaped and has no tier for scoring" — is wrong twice.

The axis was wrong. Not selection vs scoring: syntax vs execution, which is the axis every other tier is already built on. where() is T2 because Java owns the NAME and T1 owns the op; nothing in that reasoning is specific to populations.

The remedy was wrong. The audit proposed a new bulk verb family — lgj_score_*, ∝n_rows, returning a lane instead of a mask. Rejected. It grows a second semantic API beside plan_eval, and the end state is predictable: where(), hop(), score(), nars_revision(), nars_deduction(), … with Java knowing progressively more about the behavior graph. The membrane starts growing little computational fingers.

The ruling

No sixth tier. T1 was described too narrowly.

T1
├── population algebra          └── epistemic algebra
│     mask                            TruthU8
│     ternlog                         revision
│     eq → mask                       deduction
│     popcount                        abduction

Both are primitive behavior. T2 may name either. T2 may not hand-compose either. T3 may express intent in either. Every existing rule carries over unchanged — kernel-membrane-warden's HAND-COMPOSED verdict covers a T2 spelling revision out of smaller truth ops exactly as it covers the two-AND spelling of AND3. The T2 row is renamed selectionbehavior, which is what it always was.

NARS lowers through the membrane that already exists:

T3  Java / R2IL / low-code
      │  NARS operation NAME + opaque handles
      ▼
T2  plan_eval — the behavior membrane
      │  resolved bulk operation
      ▼
T1  epistemic primitives (beside the population primitives)
      │  substrate-native execution
      ▼
T0  TruthU8 lanes / rows / history / state

T3 may say Truth.Revision(lhs_handle, rhs_handle). It may not know how revision works. Extend the plan language, not the ABI surfacelgj_plan_eval exists precisely so a whole behavioral expression crosses once.

A wording correction the ruling forces

TruthU8 had been called "the canonical wire form." Two different claims were conflated. It is canonical at T0. What crosses is decided separately, and by shape:

shape crosses? as
a truth LITERAL, TruthLiteral(192, 217) yes — meaning the caller supplies; syntax is T3's to state itself
a truth POPULATION, [TruthU8; 65536] never TruthLaneId(u64)

Same rule bbb-warden already applies to masks ("a long[] of selected ids is still a materialised population"), second column. And it lands on the measured Valhalla cliff exactly: flattening stops at an 8-byte payload (VM-confirmed, valhalla-lab/docs/three-truths.md), so the handle flattens and a truth array could never. Valhalla carries the noun; Panama carries the verb; lance-graph owns the reality.

G11: one scalpel cut, never the cupboard

Do not widen the fence to lance_graph_contract::nars merely because it exists. If that module carries arithmetic beside POD types, split a syntax/vocabulary contract out first and admit only that — one commit, all three places ALLOWED is spelled. (lgj's own history has the cautionary case: the fence was prose until 2026-09-03, ISS-LGJ-G11-FENCE-WAS-PROSE.)

The ruling and its falsifier

D-BBB-NARS-1. NARS truth arithmetic remains substrate-owned. G11/T3 may carry only typed NARS syntax and opaque substrate handles. NARS execution is lowered through the existing bulk plan-evaluation membrane; no Java-side arithmetic and no materialized truth population crosses Panama. TruthU8 is the canonical substrate representation, while cross-membrane results are handles. Any required G11 expansion SHALL expose syntax/vocabulary only, never an arithmetic implementation surface.

F-BBB-NARS-1. Fail if Java can implement, inspect, iterate, or reconstruct NARS truth arithmetic without invoking the substrate, or if a truth population crosses G11/Panama other than as an opaque handle.

What lands

  • .claude/knowledge/membrane-tiers.md — T1 row (two sibling algebras), T2 row renamed, new § with the lowering diagram, the plan-language rule, the TruthU8 shape table, the G11 rule, and both D-/F- statements quoted.
  • .claude/board/EPIPHANIES.mdE-T1-HAS-TWO-SIBLING-ALGEBRAS-THE-AXIS-IS-SYNTAX-VS-EXECUTION-1 (operator ruling, BINDING).
  • .claude/board/STATUS_BOARD.md — arc bbb-nars-lowering, D-BBB-NARS-1 (Ruled) / -2 (queued, do not pre-build) / -3 (queued).
  • .claude/agents/bbb-warden.md — the epistemic column, and a fourth verdict ARITHMETIC-SURFACE for a signature that lets T3 implement/inspect/iterate/reconstruct a T1 algebra rather than name it.

The BBB does not move. T3 names / T2 opaque behavior handles / T1 algebra (population ‖ epistemic) / T0 state. No VSA internals, no RoleKey, no NARS arithmetic, no byte positions, no truth arrays, no Java compute path. Only names and capabilities. The widening makes the doctrine more general, not more permissive.

⊕ 2026-09-10 — hardened by a 5+3 council before merge (b2fcd43)

Everything above is the original submission and is left standing; this section
records what a spec-first 5+3 council changed. It was a compliance audit of the
ruling, not a re-litigation
— the spec froze D-BBB-NARS-1 as not open, and a
VIOLATES required file:line evidence that the landed text contradicts it.
Nothing did. The ruling is unchanged.

What it found: the PR widened the doctrine's content and left every index
of it stale, and three sentences stated aspiration in the grammar of fact.

Stale indexes — six sites, three savants converging independently. Both warden
cards' constitutional sentence ("your entire competence is the vocabulary of the
two tiers you separate … and nothing else"
) still said T2 selection, so a card
would decline the epistemic work its own new step 2b orders it to do; bbb-warden's
frontmatter description — the text deciding whether it fires at all — was never
widened though its sibling's was; the T2 row's May know cell omitted the truth
literal its own shape table says may cross; the agent→membrane map still listed three
bbb-warden verdicts, so the doctrine did not know about the fourth this arc added;
the T2→T3 entropy ledger had no row for the epistemic leak class.

Aspiration as fact — now labelled, in a new § "What is ruled vs what is coded":
the epistemic column has no structural gate, only review notes, against the
doctrine's own "a membrane without a gate is prose" (ledger row L8 is marked
OPEN, not CLOSED); revision/deduction/abduction/induction are coded only
in the planner's nars_engine.rs:194-207 and are ABSENT at the lgj-abi T1
membrane; TruthU8 is the ruled TARGET — four truth types coexist and the engine
that executes those ops uses ndarray::hpc::nars::NarsTruth, with no conversion path
(new D-BBB-NARS-4, do not pre-build); and the Plan tree is illustrative,
since plan_eval takes a flat AND/OR LgjOpDesc with {EQ_U32, GT_I32} and no Truth
opcode.

Two factual errors were carried past in a row this PR rewrote: Mask × WideFieldMask → Mask — the shipped type is plain FieldMask; the wide one does not
cross the ABI (fixture.rs:1-6 calls wiring it "a later slice") — and a
bbb-warden sentence presented in quotation marks that was a paraphrase. Both fixed,
plus three missing citations and the silence half for step 4 on the card.

The reviewers caught the council itself. The consolidated draft cited the
verdict-map row one line off while stamping it verified, which would have added
the new verdict to the wrong warden; and it had imported a quotation from a private
repository that a resolution would have carried into this public commit. Both
resolved, not argued away.

Correction to this body

The Gates line above says "no Rust changed, no code changed." That is no longer
true: the council's F-B fix touches one .rs file, lance-graph-arm-discovery/src/ translator.rs, whose doc comment still called TruthU8 "the canonical, float-free
wire form"
— the exact phrasing this ruling deprecates, at its only referent in the
repo, left uncited and unchanged. The change is doc-comment-only (every changed
line is a ///) and is verified by running, not asserted: cargo clippy --all-targets -- -D warnings exit 0, cargo test 42/42 including doctests.

cargo fmt --check on that crate stays red on pre-existing debt (33 sites, 8
files); the one translator.rs hit is byte-identical to HEAD, so not mine, and
reformatting eight unrelated files would balloon a doctrine PR. The crate is
workspace-excluded with zero CI coverage either way — which is itself a
council finding, since it means the gate had to be invoked with --manifest-path.

Board gates: append_only_gate.py OK · citation_decay.py no new decay ·
supersession index regenerated LAST, byte-identical.

…on (D-BBB-NARS-1)

A three-agent audit of the T2/T3 barrier measured NARS truth arithmetic as
absent from the Java side — repo-wide grep of lance-graph-java at `8720d1d`
returns 3 hits, all prose, all in one unshipped plan; `lance_graph_contract::nars`
is not in the G11 allowlist; the sibling callcenter membrane states it outright
("no VSA / RoleKey / NarsTruth crosses the membrane"). The measurement is right.
The conclusion drawn from it — "NARS is off the ladder entirely; the ladder is
selection-shaped and has no tier for scoring" — is wrong twice, and the operator
ruled it so.

**The axis was wrong.** Not selection vs scoring: **syntax vs execution**, which
is the axis every other tier is already built on. `where()` is T2 because Java
owns the NAME and T1 owns the op; nothing in that reasoning is specific to
populations.

**The remedy was wrong.** The audit proposed a new bulk verb family
(`lgj_score_*`) returning a lane instead of a mask. Rejected — it grows a second
semantic API beside `plan_eval` and ends as `where()/hop()/score()/
nars_revision()/…`, with Java knowing progressively more about the behavior
graph. The membrane starts growing little computational fingers. `lgj_plan_eval`
exists precisely so a whole behavioral expression crosses ONCE; NARS becomes
another named plan operation or it is nothing.

**The ruling.** No sixth tier. T1 was described too narrowly: it holds two
sibling primitive algebras — population (`mask`, `ternlog`, `eq → mask`,
`popcount`) and epistemic (`TruthU8`, revision, deduction, abduction). Both are
primitive behavior. T2 may name either, may hand-compose neither; T3 may express
intent in either. Every existing rule carries over unchanged — HAND-COMPOSED
covers a T2 spelling `revision` out of smaller truth ops exactly as it covers
the two-AND spelling of `AND3`. The T2 row is renamed *selection* → *behavior*,
which is what it always was.

**A wording correction the ruling forces.** `TruthU8` had been called "the
canonical wire form" — two claims conflated. It is canonical at T0. What crosses
is decided separately and BY SHAPE: a truth LITERAL (`TruthLiteral(192, 217)`)
is syntax the caller supplies and may cross; a truth POPULATION
(`[TruthU8; 65536]`) never crosses — it becomes `TruthLaneId(u64)`. The same
rule masks already have, second column. It lands on the measured Valhalla cliff
exactly: flattening stops at an 8-byte payload (VM-confirmed), so the handle
flattens and the array could never. Valhalla carries the noun, Panama carries
the verb, lance-graph owns the reality.

**G11 widens by one scalpel cut, never the cupboard.** Do not admit
`lance_graph_contract::nars` because it exists; if it carries arithmetic beside
POD types, split a syntax/vocabulary contract out first and admit only that —
one commit, all three spellings of `ALLOWED`.

Landed: `membrane-tiers.md` (T1/T2 rows, new § with the lowering diagram, the
plan-language rule, the TruthU8 shape table, the G11 rule, D-BBB-NARS-1 +
F-BBB-NARS-1 quoted); EPIPHANIES entry; STATUS_BOARD arc D-BBB-NARS-1..3;
`bbb-warden` gains the epistemic column and a fourth verdict, ARITHMETIC-SURFACE.

The BBB does not move. T3 names / T2 opaque behavior handles / T1 algebra
(population ‖ epistemic) / T0 state. The widening makes the doctrine more
general, not more permissive.

Gates: append-only OK (9 files), citation-decay 0 new, supersession index
current. No code changed.

…s that did not cover it

Three findings, one class — I wrote rules that advertised enforcement which did
not exist. That is the same defect this repo's own history records as the G11
fence being prose until 2026-09-03, and the same one PR #1221 carries a storno
about. Found three times in one commit; fixed in this one.

**1. `kernel-membrane-warden` did not cover truth composition** (Codex P2,
`membrane-tiers.md:64`). The new § claimed its HAND-COMPOSED verdict "covers a
T2 that spells `revision` out of smaller truth ops exactly as it covers `AND3`
as two `mask_and`s." Verified at the source: the card's trigger names
`mask_*`/`eq_*_to_mask`/`ternlog` and "T2 code that composes mask primitives";
method step 2 reads "for every mask/compare/scatter". A T2 hand-composing
`revision` walked straight through the gate the paragraph invoked. Fixed by
making the claim TRUE, not by softening it: the trigger now names both sibling
algebras, and **method step 2b** asks the same question of truth operations —
T2 arithmetic over `frequency`/`confidence`, a `w/(w+1)` discount, a min/max
over two truths, a revision hand-rolled from component `and`/`or` are all
HAND-COMPOSED; reading a `TruthU8`'s two bytes apart to recombine them is
GEOMETRY-LEAK, because the byte split is T0's.

**2. The canonical table contradicted its own shape rule** (Codex P2,
`membrane-tiers.md:22`). The T1 row said it crosses up as "a truth lane" while
the shape table twelve lines down says a truth POPULATION never crosses and
becomes `TruthLaneId`. Both statements standing made a raw `[TruthU8]` boundary
defensible FROM THE CANONICAL TABLE — the worst place for an ambiguity to live.
Now: "a truth lane DESCRIPTOR (`TruthLaneId`) — never the population."

**3. `bbb-warden`'s method could not reach its own new verdict** (Codex P2,
`bbb-warden.md:79`). ARITHMETIC-SURFACE blocks a signature that lets T3
implement, inspect, iterate or reconstruct a T1 algebra — but steps 1-3
enumerate signatures and classify parameter/return SHAPES only. A public helper
with a perfectly legal `TruthLiteral` signature computing revision in its BODY
passes every step while doing exactly what `F-BBB-NARS-1` forbids; so does a
body-only change to a method that already existed. New **method step 4**: read
BODIES (arithmetic over frequency/confidence, a loop over a lane, a local
recombination of a handle's parts) and read what a newly-G11-admitted module
EXPORTS (a POD type is syntax; a function computing a truth FROM truths is an
implementation surface, and admitting the module admits it). The falsifier, not
the signature list, is what the reviewer reasons against.

The doctrine paragraph now carries the correction inline rather than quietly
becoming true, because the general rule is worth more than the three fixes:
**a doctrine sentence that names a gate must cite the step that makes it true.**

…G arc

#1221 merged (`f29200f`) and put this PR into conflict. One real conflict, in
`STATUS_BOARD.md`: both sides prepend a new arc block at the top of a
newest-first file. Resolved by keeping both, ordered by recency — the
`bbb-nars-lowering` arc (unmerged, this PR) above `spog-alpha-channel-v1`
(merged 06:31). `EPIPHANIES.md` auto-merged with the T1-sibling-algebras ruling
on top; `membrane-tiers.md` did not conflict at all, because #1221's copy was
byte-identical to `main`'s after the AND3 restore.

Confirmed on the new `main` rather than assumed: the storno commit `2dda2ff` is
in its history, and `membrane-tiers.md:37` reads
"`exports.rs` names `kernels::ternlog::AND3`" — so the doctrine that ships is
the corrected one. The stale claim survives only in #1221's merged PR BODY,
which is prose in the arc record, not a statement the tree makes.

This branch's own D-SPG edits from the earlier integration-update pass are
superseded by #1221's newer, measured rows (D-SPG-2/3 pushed for real, D-SPG-5
split, D-SPG-8 shipped); their version wins, as it should.

Gates against the new base: append-only OK (9 files), citation-decay 0 new,
supersession index current. No code changed.

…ds, its indexes did not

A compliance audit of #1222 against the operator ruling it encodes, not a
re-litigation: the spec froze D-BBB-NARS-1 as not open, and VIOLATES required
file:line evidence that the landed text CONTRADICTS the ruling. Nothing did.
The ruling is unchanged.

What the council found is that the PR widened the doctrine's CONTENT and left
every INDEX of it stale, and that three sentences stated aspiration in the
grammar of fact.

Stale indexes, now fixed:
- both warden cards' constitutional sentence ("your entire competence is the
  vocabulary of the two tiers you separate ... and nothing else") still named
  "T2 selection", so a card would decline the epistemic work its own new step
  2b orders it to do;
- bbb-warden's frontmatter description -- the text that decides whether the
  card FIRES AT ALL -- was never widened, though its sibling's was;
- the T2 row's "May know" cell omitted the truth literal its own shape table
  says may cross;
- the agent -> membrane map still listed three bbb-warden verdicts, so the
  doctrine did not know about the fourth this arc added;
- the T2 -> T3 entropy ledger had no row for the epistemic leak class.

Aspiration stated as fact, now labelled (new section "What is ruled vs what is
coded"):
- the epistemic column has NO structural gate, only review notes, against the
  doctrine's own "a membrane without a gate is prose"; F-BBB-NARS-1 cannot be
  exercised at all today. Ledger row L8 is marked OPEN, not CLOSED, and the
  gate that will hold it is named with its dependency;
- revision/deduction/abduction/induction are coded only in the planner's
  nars_engine.rs and are ABSENT at the lgj-abi T1 membrane;
- TruthU8 is the ruled TARGET: four truth types coexist and the engine that
  executes revision/deduction/abduction uses a different one, with no
  conversion path. Tracked as new D-BBB-NARS-4 (do not pre-build);
- the Plan tree is illustrative -- plan_eval takes a flat AND/OR LgjOpDesc
  with two opcodes and no Truth opcode.

Two factual errors carried past in a row this arc rewrote: Mask x
WideFieldMask -> Mask (the shipped type is plain FieldMask; the wide one does
not cross the ABI) and a bbb-warden sentence quoted as verbatim that was a
paraphrase. Both corrected. Three missing citations added. Step 4 gained its
silence half on the card rather than merely derivable.

The reviewers caught the council itself: the consolidated draft cited the
verdict-map row one line off while stamping it verified, which would have
added the new verdict to the wrong warden; and it had imported a quotation
from a private repository that a resolution would have carried into this
public commit. Both resolved, not argued away.

Gates: append_only_gate OK; citation_decay no new decay; supersession index
regenerated LAST, byte-identical. The one .rs touch is a doc comment, and
after the ndarray sibling was supplied it is verified by running, not
asserted: clippy --all-targets -D warnings exit 0, tests 42/42 including
doctests. cargo fmt --check on that crate stays red on pre-existing debt in 8
unrelated files -- the translator.rs hit is byte-identical to HEAD, so not
mine, and reformatting them would balloon a doctrine PR. That crate is
workspace-excluded with zero CI coverage either way.

plan_eval, or otherwise remains gated until those prerequisites are implemented.

… one — fixed at BOTH sites

CodeRabbit (Major) on the EPIPHANIES entry: lines 35-39 stated in the present
tense that plan_eval resolves Truth.Revision and T1 executes it, while the same
entry's council addendum states the structural gate is absent and plan_eval has
no Truth opcode. The entry published an unavailable capability as a working
route and contradicted itself. The finding is correct.

Reworded as the target route, with the gating condition named: T3 will name
Truth.Revision and will not know how revision works -- that half is the ruling
and is permanent -- and once the structural gate exists and plan_eval carries a
Truth opcode (it carries {EQ_U32, GT_I32} today), T2 will resolve the name, T1
will execute, T0 will own the result. The membrane it lowers through is shipped;
the operation that would travel it is not. Original sentence quoted in place
rather than deleted, per the board's correction convention.

Fixed at BOTH sites, not just the flagged one. The identical present-tense claim
sat in membrane-tiers.md:96-98 and was not reported. Fixing only the reported
copy would reproduce precisely the index-staleness disease the 5+3 council
documented one commit earlier: a finding fixed at one site and left standing at
its twin.

Gates: append_only_gate OK; citation_decay no new decay; supersession index
regenerated LAST, byte-identical. Docs only, no code.

… are five truth types, not four

Reframed on an operator question: are the coexisting truth types distinct
truths, or one truth at several precisions? Measured: all five carry the same
two axes, (frequency, confidence). They are one kind of NARS truth at four
precisions -- register u8, storage u16, compute f32 -- so the deliverable is
"one canonical per tier, named lifts between tiers, no bare casts", not
"converge onto TruthU8". The ruling (TruthU8 canonical at T0) is consistent
with a ladder and is unchanged.

The count was wrong: the council found four and missed
lance-graph-planner/src/nars/truth.rs::TruthValue, the belief-arena type.
Five, listed with sites.

The genuinely distinct truths -- grammatical validity, causal-trajectory
provenance -- are not on the ladder and enter it only by a named constructor
(precedent: tesseract-rs sentence_nars_truth). Same axes does not prove same
semantics: ndarray clamps confidence to [0, 0.9999], and the u16/u8 mappings
have not been read side by side, so step 1 is an audit of the mappings, never
a merge. Falsifier tightened: a bare `as` cast between any two of the five is
an automatic fail.

Losing text quoted in place. Docs only. Gates: append_only OK, no new
citation decay, supersession index regenerated last.

…ssless" claimed nowhere until audited

CodeRabbit (Major) on the reframe pushed ten minutes earlier, both findings
correct and both mine:

1. The row said five representations form "four precisions". They share
   three scalar widths -- f32 (three of the five), u16, u8. The "four" was a
   leftover from the four-type count the same commit had just corrected to
   five. Now: five representations, three widths, not five kinds.

2. The falsifier promised a "lossless-upward lift per tier boundary" while
   prescribing f32 -> u16 and f32 -> u8 packing -- downward quantization,
   lossy by construction -- and in the same row said the mappings still
   need auditing. A blanket "lossless" before the audit that would prove it
   is the overclaim the council spent the day removing elsewhere. Now each
   direction carries its own grade: widening u8/u16 -> f32 is round-trip-
   exact but the f32 is a rounded rational, so not called lossless; packing
   is a named quantizer, lossy; dequantizing u16 -> f32 is the named inverse
   of the pack, not an identity. "Lossless" is claimed for no mapping until
   the audit proves that specific one, and an unaudited "lossless" is itself
   an automatic fail.

Losing text quoted in place. Docs only. Gates: append_only OK, no new
citation decay, supersession index regenerated last.

Second time today a self-correction introduced a fresh error the reviewer
caught (the first was the council's off-by-one row citation). Recorded
rather than hidden.

… versioned LE schema, never a bare (f, c) pair

Operator ruling, 2026-09-10, frozen verbatim: "Little-endian is the universal
DTO layer of the ABI." The ABI carries the value; the LE DTO contract fixes
the universal meaning of its positions; MUL asserts the epistemic kind; the
(frequency, confidence) values are content; LE adds no evidence. Without a
versioned canonical LE contract an ABI transports bits but cannot guarantee
every reader assigns them the same epistemic meaning.

The question was whether #1222 used "typed NARS syntax" strongly enough. It
did not: the shape table let TruthLiteral(192, 217) cross "as itself" while
retiring TruthU8 as "the wire form". A bare pair expresses a degree, not a
kind. Sharpened, not reversed -- TruthU8 stays the canonical T0 substrate
representation; what crosses is now defined: typed syntax SHALL be bound to
a versioned DTO schema with canonical little-endian layout, or to an opaque
typed handle whose registry binds the same kind and schema. For two u8s the
contract is the ordered byte sequence [frequency, confidence]; for a packed
carrier such as CausalEdge64 the whole integer-to-byte mapping is explicitly
LE. Falsifier F-BBB-NARS-2 (LE) added, plus the evidence distinction: an
identical wire image repeated is propagation, not independent evidence.

Measured before writing, no code changed. A versioned LE contract EXISTS for
the SoA envelope (ENVELOPE_LAYOUT_VERSION = 2, verify_layout, le-contract.md
S3b) and NO truth type rides it: TruthU8 has no repr(C), no version, no
codec; CausalEdge64 is repr(transparent) u64 with register-defined bit
positions and zero endian conversions, host-native at every crossing, its
v1/v2 layouts a compile-time feature invisible in the bytes; MUL never sees
bytes (SituationInput is typed f64s; revise_fast takes bare u8s and ignores
confidence). lgj already declares byte order as ABI shape
(LgjLaneDesc.endianness, the LGJ_MAGIC probe, abi.md:1224) but carries no
truth DTO. So: CODED for the envelope, ABSENT for truth, RULED now, DEFINED
by D-BBB-NARS-2 when it lands.

Three corrections carried with it: bbb-warden's sanctioned delegation
returned a COMPUTED TruthLiteral -- a bare pair crossing back, blessing the
exact leak -- and now returns an opaque typed handle; translator.rs paired
confidence_u8 with the i4 mantissa, which is the InferenceType (provenance
grammar, bits 46-49), not half of the truth -- corrected to frequency_u8 +
confidence_u8 (bits 24-31, 32-39); and every index of the amended sentence
(shape table, both warden cards, ledger L8, ruled-vs-coded S4, the
D-BBB-NARS-1/-2/-3 status cells) moved in this one commit so the stale-index
defect the council closed is not reopened.

Deliberately not built: no DTO struct, opcode, ABI symbol, G11 import,
conversion, or Java. D-BBB-NARS-2/-3 stay Queued, do not pre-build. The one
.rs touch is a doc comment. Gates: append_only OK, no new citation decay,
supersession index regenerated last.

…ygiene gaps

Real code fix (crates/lance-graph-planner/src/cache/nars_engine.rs):
NarsTables::deduce_fast returned the deduction table's packed byte as if it
were the real NARS deduction confidence, but that byte is f_out doubling as a
conservative UPPER BOUND (per tables.rs's own doc comment) — not c = f*c1*c2,
the formula this same file's Inference::Deduction arm already implements.
Consequence: two premises with ZERO evidential confidence but max frequency
(f1=f2=255, c1=c2=0) reported confidence 255 — maximally confident from
maximally unevidenced premises. Fixed: deduce_fast now takes c1/c2 and
computes the real deduction confidence. Added a two-sided regression test
(zero confidence -> zero output; full confidence -> unchanged upper bound)
and updated the one existing call site. 23/23 planner cache::nars_engine
tests green, 433/433 full lib suite green, fmt clean.

Board-hygiene fixes, all verified against current source before editing
(the review ran against commit 85af677, two commits behind HEAD, so several
findings were checked for staleness first):

- EPIPHANIES.md: (1) the ReasoningBand writer census now states plainly that
  no shipped production code writes CausalTopology/ReasoningBand — every
  non-definition call site is an examples/*.rs probe or a #[test] fn,
  confirmed by direct grep across the tree; (2) removed a stray insertion
  into the already-merged (via #1222) 2026-09-07 entry that violated the
  Status/Confidence-only edit rule for settled entries and duplicated what
  the newer 2026-09-10 entry's own Status line already says — the entry is
  now byte-identical to origin/main again; (3) added a precision note to the
  "CE64 is the defining LE" ruling distinguishing the ruling (a status
  declaration) from a claim that CE64 has an explicit LE codec (it does
  not — zero to_le_bytes/from_le_bytes, unlike CausalEdgeV3), and restating
  the real version-gate risk under the v1-compat feature opt-out.

- INTEGRATION_PLANS.md, LATEST_STATE.md: both still described
  `contract::assertion_wire` as built and "In PR (#1223)" — that module was
  deleted as fabrication by commit 2c66c01 ("strip the fabrications"), which
  corrected EPIPHANIES.md and STATUS_BOARD.md but missed these two files.
  Prepended matching retraction entries (append-only convention preserved —
  both files only grew, verified via append_only_gate.py).

- membrane-tiers.md: two stale sub-sections corrected in place (matching this
  file's own established "⊘ superseded" annotation style, used throughout
  the same document) — the "D-BBB-NARS-2 is now BUILT" claim and the
  "LE DTO contract... ABSENT for truth... defined by D-BBB-NARS-2 when it
  lands" claim, both superseded by the same fabrication-strip ruling.

- nan-ci-mode-v1.md (the plan itself, 3 genuine gaps found and closed,
  1 already resolved by the prior council commit, 1 declined as by-design):
  - §4.1's certification criterion required only "zero canary reads" on a
    wire, which a dead/unexercised consumer path also reports — added the
    missing "observed to execute at least once" clause.
  - §3.3's Design 1 (POISON-FILL) writes a canary before the read-side
    observer runs, in tension with N1's literal wording; named the concrete
    risk (a CI-poisoned object that gets serialized/persisted leaks canary
    bytes) and the two candidate resolutions, left open for an operator
    decision before D-NCI-1, per this plan's own established practice of
    flagging rather than unilaterally resolving frozen-decision boundaries.
  - §4.5's counterfactual probe treated every stored `0` as absent without
    the canary/sidecar qualification Design 1 itself requires; scoped the
    probe explicitly to CI-instrumented objects, never persisted corpora.
  - §9.1's already-present typed disposition table (BandPresence::Absent /
    EdgeProvenance::Unknown / BandDeclarations::get->None) already satisfies
    the "define a typed absence reason before D-NCI-1" finding — added by
    the prior council commit (e8099ea), after the commit CodeRabbit reviewed.
  - SUPERSESSION-INDEX.md's "28 vs 25" GateDecision count is by design
    (Table 1's "named in plans" counts all mentions; Table 2/"blind plans"
    deliberately excludes plans already showing awareness markers per the
    generator's AWARE regex) — not touched; explained in the PR reply.

Gates run: append_only_gate.py (all 9 protected files, none shrank),
citation_decay.py --since cd24951 (0 new decay), plan_dids.py on the added
plan (carries a D-id), supersession_index.py regenerated last (byte-identical
— no structural inputs changed).

…l audit

Requested review: diff the whole PR against origin/main (merge-base cd24951,
i.e. #1222) and account for every line that is not a pure addition. 25 lines
were removed across 8 files; all but two are legitimate (bug fixes to code
#1222 shipped, well-documented in-place corrections in non-gated agent
cards, or a regenerated file). Two were real:

1. STATUS_BOARD.md, row D-BBB-NARS-2's status cell replaced its #1222 text
   ("Queued — gates on a consumer actually needing it; do not pre-build")
   outright, with no verbatim preservation anywhere in the new cell — the
   only one of the table's four rows that didn't follow its own sibling
   rows' pattern of keeping the old text as a prefix and appending the
   correction. append_only_gate.py (line-count-only) could not catch this
   because the row count didn't change. Restored the original phrase as a
   prefix, matching D-BBB-NARS-1/-3/-4's own style.

2. membrane-tiers.md deleted the heading "### The G11 widening rule: one
   scalpel cut, never the cupboard" outright. Its body paragraph survived
   intact ~150 lines later in the file, but sits headless between two
   unrelated sections. Restored the heading immediately above its body.

Both are prose-only; no code, no ontology, no ruling changed. Gates:
append_only_gate.py OK (STATUS_BOARD.md line count unchanged, as expected
for an in-place cell fix), citation_decay.py 0 new decay, supersession_index.py
regenerated (byte-identical, neither file feeds it).
