WICK Total-Recall — Entity-Brain Full-Stack Mind-Map

the closed learning loop · grounded in FULL_SYSTEM_ARCHITECTURE.md + disk verification · 2026-07-19

CONFIDENTIAL — PATENT PENDING (J. Weinberg / N. Baron) · honest status tags · wick-capture synthesis

PROVEN BUILT (src+test on disk) DESIGNED (not built) MISSING (the gap)
1 · MEMORYwick-capture / revivePROVEN
Sealed content-addressed WICKs (sha256), exact recall. Holographic k-of-n erasure code. THE FLOOR.
disk: store.ts (AppendOnlyStore) + store-addressing.ts BUILT+test
↓ content graph
2 · THINKINGrevive (spine)PROVEN recall · binding synthetic
Compile WICKs → SNOWFLAKE (Merkle thought_root). Bound tensor = branch vectors + VSA binds. Inter-snowflake chaining.
disk: snowflake/thought_root not in faculties src → revive domain (CRT/chord/merkle spine)
↓
3 · INTUITIONwick-capture / frontierBUILT · blocked on trajectory data
Recency-decayed T-PPR / spreading activation over usage+outcome graph → ranked HINTS. Multi-window head-agreement = confidence gate. Recall byte-identical on/off.
disk: intuition.ts BUILT+test

4 · PERCEPTION / INSTINCT + GROUNDINGwick-captureBUILT · grounding PROVEN
Lift memory into FIBER/PREIMAGE, tilt by real-time situation S, walk trajectories via Hamiltonian flow. Grounding contract fail-closed (bloom neg-gate + round-trip node-cert + committed-edge path-cert) → grounded WICK sequence, never free text. This is the ENTRY point (perception-in dataflow).
disk: perception.ts BUILT+test · grounding-gate.ts (3-tier) BUILT+test

5 · DECISION / ACTION-SELECTION ← THE HEADwick-captureMISSING (designed)
Choose among perception's grounded candidate trajectories, apply policy, emit a committed ACTION or ABSTENTION+hints. The panel-flagged missing orchestrator/head + fusion.ts.
disk: decision/action/head/orchestrator/fusion ABSENT → THIS is the approved FOUNDATION build
↓
6 · EXECUTORwick-captureDESIGNED
Take the selected trajectory, act on the world (API / text / record-intent), capture OUTCOME.
disk: executor.ts src present (faculty stub)
↓
7 · CREDIT ASSIGNMENTwick-capture / reviveBUILT · RL infra exists
Evaluate outcome vs situational intent → reward/utility → BIND utility into the new snowflake via VSA → THEN seal. Reuses the RL trajectory aggregator + reward formula. Non-optional: sealing alone reinforces FREQUENT paths, not SUCCESSFUL ones — utility-binding makes intuition diffuse along vectors of UTILITY → the system learns, not just remembers.
disk: credit.ts BUILT+test+redteam
↺ seal new snowflake → MEMORY (adds usage+outcome edges → updates the INTUITION field) — LOOP CLOSES

DOMAIN OWNERSHIP

frontier
  • GEOMETRY: manifold Hⁿ×Eᵐ×Sᵏ (hyperbolic/euclidean/spherical)
  • intuition FIELD (L2), HDC/VSA hyperdimensional space
  • E8-adjacency WIN · triangulation (subsumed) · fields-within-fields (KILLED-synthetic) · spectral (KILLED)
revive
  • ADDRESSING + LINEAGE + spine: CRT-tower, chord (Frobenius), snowflake-merkle SPINE (credit→memory)
  • ultrametric (L1) · StructuralAddressIndex (designed-not-built) · store-addressing chaos/pinball
wick-capture (me)
  • FACULTIES: perception/intuition/credit/grounding-gate/recall-wrapper/store — BUILT
  • HEAD (decision/action) + fusion + thinking-compile — MISSING (the foundation build)
  • CAPTURE: continuous-ingest transport LANDED · recall-endpoint dispatcher BUILT

TWO GRAPHS (keep edge types separable)

  • CONTENT graph = Merkle snowflake + VSA binds (discrete, committed)
  • USAGE+OUTCOME graph = co-access + outcome edges, utility-weighted (drives the intuition field)

Codex/Gemini unanimous: do NOT collapse usage+outcome into one scalar — popularity/recency/operator-habit can dominate success ("blur exposure bias into credit"). Keep TYPES, WEIGHTS, UPDATE RULES separable.

APPROVED NEXT (wick-capture)

  • FOUNDATION (approved, reversible): verify faculty I/O contracts + build the HEAD (decision/action) + fusion.ts
  • FIRST SLICE: perception→recall(field)→grounding→intuition→credit (perception=entry), minimal, full FSM
  • GATED on WICK_RECALL_CONVERGENCE_v1 Phase-1: wiring faculties onto the LIVE recall
Honesty notes. Status tags combine FULL_SYSTEM_ARCHITECTURE.md (2026-06-21 reaudit) with wick-capture's 2026-07-19 disk verification of infrastructure/packages/total-recall/src/. Where they differ, disk wins for existence (faculty files with colocated tests = BUILT) but the roadmap's semantic status (e.g. "designed/blocked-on-data") is preserved. HDC(SimHash)/VSA(binding)/holographic-k-of-n/braid-MDS are not in the faculties source — they live in the frontier/revive domains (deferred to those lanes, not claimed here). wick-coord's master mind-map (all domains folded + rendered) is the authoritative synthesis; this is wick-capture's grounded contribution to it.
