Notes, stage D6

Target length: under 4,000 words. One section per leg. Each item that notes-D5.md left for this stage is answered here: acted on (as an unvalidated proposal, since amendments-D6.jsonl stays empty), declined with a reason, or sent to the dimension leg where its element falls, and then answered there. The close-check report of each leg is pasted at the opening of the next leg's section, because done.sh closes the leg.

D6a-01: the names, the rule, D01 (Critical mass)

How the stage is read. On J's word through the PI (message of 27 October, 03:28 UTC): the forms are the six room forms of D4a-08c, the 35 branches are the level below, and fractal-D6.jsonl has one line per element and room form, with a branch only where it explains the form. The line's field branch holds the form's letter; branches names any D4 branch that explains it.

The final names (J, 27 October 00:43 Berlin). Written to room-forms-names.md and logged as moves 314 to 319 (contrasting), one per form, each with a tier_history line and a snap. A, Border terms and the announced plan; B, Behind the thread: chat, scripts, raids; C, The design reopened; D, Keeping, with help or carrying on; E, The sub's play, run as work; F, Moving for the spot. Below D, the splits the account kept: D.1, Keeping with the call; D.2, Keeping inside the sub's play; D.2.1, The play, carried on; D.2.2, The play, kept.

The rule for each fractal line is logged in the diary before it ran and stated at the head of retelling-D6.md (_analysis/d6_fractal.py). Its floor is proportional, max(5, a tenth of the form's defining rooms), so that form F is read at all. An element without a dimension (P15) and the arrow that ends at it (A12) are read with D01, the dimension of the call they answer.

Answers to the room-form notes (D5a-36 to D5a-41)

Answers to the branch notes that touch D01

The other branch notes (D5a-01 to D5a-35, D5b) are answered in the dimension legs where their elements fall, and listed in each leg's section.

D01 in brief

42 lines, 7 leaning cells, 35 untouched. Three forms specify the call (C, D, F), each by making it return later in the work; D and E restrict A02; F restricts A12; B restricts P32. Three unvalidated proposals: PR-D6-01, PR-D6-02, PR-D6-03.

Licences exercised at D6a-01. The PI's reading of the stage file; the final names as categorization moves (314 to 319, contrasting); the proportional floor; P15 and A12 read with D01; the how sentences of leaning cells written by me after reading the deciding lines, the untouched cells' sentences generated with counts.

The close, and QD6-001. validate.py D6 at this leg's end gave 110 errors in 6 shapes (_analysis/d6a01_validate_D6.txt): every fractal line's branch field holds a form's letter, which the check refuses (42); the figure and the handback are not written; no branch has a fractal line yet (35) and the retelling names 30 of them nowhere yet. The check treats the presence of retelling-D6.md as the last leg. The form-level lines follow the PI's message; the conflict is asked as QD6-001 and recorded as departures.jsonl line 19. Meanwhile the per-dimension legs close at their safe stops with done.sh D6 --pause, the work half done by design, and D6b places and names every branch.

D6a-02: the restructure (QD6-001), D02 (Coordination without command)

The close-check report of D6a-01 (_closes/ holds no report for a pause close; _analysis/d6a01_validate_D6.txt): 110 errors in 6 shapes, as above, the sixth being the missing trusted tree hash (below).

QD6-001 answered (option c, the handler's view on J's instruction; J has not seen it), with the PI's message of 03:57 UTC. Done as one amendment, departures.jsonl line 20, citing J's 18:01 ruling and applying backwards to D6a-01's outputs; line 19 stays. The 42 form lines moved to fractal-forms-D6.jsonl (letter in form; content compared equal), with one correction on its line: P01|F no longer names F09, because of F09's rooms in F only r/penguins links the call, and not to a move. fractal-D6.jsonl holds branch lines only (16 after this leg). retelling-D6.md was moved to retelling-D6-parts/D01.md, and D02's section is retelling-D6-parts/D02.md; D6b assembles retelling-D6.md.

QD6-002 asked. After the restructure validate.py D6 gives one error: "D4 tree has no matching trusted closure hash", because _closes/tree-D4.sha256 was never written (only the checks' test fixtures write it). The tree has not moved: branches.jsonl and crosslinks.jsonl match the D4a-08 close snap, and subforms.jsonl is absent then and now. I do not write a trusted hash myself. Until the answer, a leg whose only refusal is this file closes with done.sh D6 --pause.

Answers to the branch notes that touch D02

D02 in brief

78 form lines (21 leaning, 57 untouched) and 13 branch lines; 197 evidence codes resolve. Each form specifies the part of coordination its name says; D only restricts here (A01, A06, P14). Two unvalidated proposals: PR-D6-04, PR-D6-05.

Slips at D6a-02. Two Edits to _analysis/d6a02_move_form_lines.py in one turn; a stray open('/dev/stdout','w') in a check command, which raised an error and wrote nothing; one Python read of notes-D5.md refused by the guard, redone with grep.

Licences exercised at D6a-02. QD6-001's shape; the correction to P01|F recorded on its line; a branch named as explaining a cell only where it leans to the form and its own key matches the cell (chosen from a script's candidates); the renamings declined because the tree is frozen.

D6a-03: QD6-002 answered, D03 (Maintenance)

The close-check report of D6a-02 (_analysis/d6a02_validate_D6.txt): 1 error, 1 warning. The error was the missing trusted tree hash; the warning, that retelling-D6.md is not written yet, is expected until D6b.

QD6-002, answered by J's ruling (27 October, 06:33 Berlin, through the PI's message of 05:34 UTC): "The file should be the last cut we did. Prepare a file like the one it needs and give it the authority it needs for the run to continue." The handler wrote _closes/tree-D4.sha256 with the tree hash at D4a-08's close (0499928b..., the value I had checked). The answer recorded in asks.jsonl is the handler's earlier view (do not write it; keep pausing); J's ruling supersedes it, and I record the ruling as QD6-002's answer here and in the diary. From this leg the dimension legs close with done.sh D6.

Answers to the branch and form notes that touch D03

D03 in brief

18 form lines (4 leaning: P05 in A, C, D and F; 14 untouched) and 4 branch lines (F07, F27, F32, F08); 62 evidence codes resolve. One unvalidated proposal: PR-D6-06 (proposals now 6).

Slip at D6a-03. A cut -c after mem.py diary at the opening, refused by the guard (J's rule on whole reads); redone without it.

Licences exercised at D6a-03. J's ruling recorded as QD6-002's answer; F26 dropped from A's P05 cell after its two rooms' lines were read (they do not concern the border); F27's sentence limited to the two rooms of four that check before repair.

D6a-04: D04 (Order without law)

The close-check report of D6a-03 (_analysis/d6a03_validate_D6.txt): 0 errors, 1 warning; fractal lines 20, branches placed 14 of 35. The warning, that retelling-D6.md is not written yet, is expected until D6b. The leg closed normally with done.sh D6. Correction of record: the head was 2,998 words at that close, not 2,997 as its closing diary line said.

Answers to the branch and form notes that touch D04

D04 in brief

120 form lines (22 leaning, 98 untouched) and 7 branch lines (F10, F26, F28, F31, F08, and F22 twice); 134 distinct evidence codes resolve. Branches placed: 19 of 35. Three unvalidated proposals: PR-D6-07 to PR-D6-09 (proposals now 9; their 57 codes resolve).

Licences exercised at D6a-04. The D6a-02 rule that a branch's own key matches the cell, read as: the key's element is the cell's element or an end of the cell's arrow, or the key's theme belongs to the arrow's antecedent (F26: restrict on P05 at T3-010, settling borders with neighbours, a theme of P08). F08 at A05 in B rests on its change's own text ("a revision must reach the operator and the target file"), not on its key, as F08 at P05 in F did at D6a-03. F28 and F31 are placed at their key elements in form A, where the form line stays untouched; their branch lines give the branch's share of the form's holders. Candidates set aside after reading their lines: F10 at A14 in A (help as the terms, not the deal's work), F29 at A05 in B (one of three rooms concerns the chat), F07 at A13 in C (its change is the telling clause, not help). The proposals' rooms are my reading of the lines.

Slips at D6a-04. A read of model/elements.jsonl at the wrong path (the model is in out/model/), which failed and wrote nothing. The context was compacted during the leg; the head was reconciled with the diary before the next write.

D6a-05: D05 (Collective identity)

The close-check report of D6a-04 (_analysis/d6a04_validate_D6.txt): 0 errors, 1 warning; fractal lines 27, branches placed 19 of 35. The warning, that retelling-D6.md is not written yet, is expected until D6b. The leg closed normally with done.sh D6.

Answers to the notes that touch D05

D05 in brief

36 form lines, all untouched; no branch lines; no proposal. The forms differ only in how often their rooms hold the dimension's elements: B above the 558's rate on all six, F least, E low on C02 and P28 despite the longest records. These are instantiation rates, which the rule does not test; they go to the telling at D6b beside the form accounts. C02 sits also in D08 and P28 in D06: their lines are written here once, and the D06 and D08 legs refer to them rather than writing them again.

Slip at D6a-05. A first command at the opening with cut -c after a grep, in the same line as mem.py, refused by the guard (J's rule on whole reads); redone without it.

Licences exercised at D6a-05. Elements in two dimensions written once, in the first dimension read; the instantiation rates reported beside the untouched lines, with the form medians of coded concepts from the room-form accounts as the check on record size; the restrict lines sorted by my reading of the cells read, not all cells.

D6a-06: D06 (Host framing)

The close-check report of D6a-05 (_analysis/d6a05_validate_D6.txt): 0 errors, 1 warning; fractal lines 27, branches placed 19 of 35. The warning, that retelling-D6.md is not written yet, is expected until D6b. The leg closed normally with done.sh D6.

Answers to the notes that touch D06

D06 in brief

24 form lines (5 leaning: K01 in D, E and F; P20 and A20 in D; 19 untouched; P28's rows left out, written at D6a-05) and 9 branch lines (F01 to F06 and F21 at K01 in E; F04 at K01 in D and in F); 81 evidence codes resolve. Branches placed: 26 of 35; still to place F13, F14, F17 to F20, F23, F25 (D07) and F30. One unvalidated proposal: PR-D6-10 (proposals now 10; its 89 codes resolve).

Licences exercised at D6a-06. P28's rows dropped from the rule's output before writing (d6a06_fractal_D06_noP28.json), since its lines stand under D05. F01 not named at D or F because its lean there is under 1.5, though its rooms hold nearly all of those cells; the prose says so. F21's line written at the cell where it leans, with its disagreeing rooms described, rather than left unplaced. The two counts in PR-D6-10 are of add-step holders (E 56), not of all K01 holders (E 58).

Slips at D6a-06. None found.

D6a-07: D07 (Imprinting)

The close-check report of D6a-06 (_analysis/d6a06_validate_D6.txt): 0 errors, 1 warning; fractal lines 36, branches placed 26 of 35. The warning, that retelling-D6.md is not written yet, is expected until D6b. The leg closed normally with done.sh D6.

Answers to the notes that touch D07

D07 in brief

54 form lines (11 leaning: P11 in A and D, P12 in A and F, P13 in D and E, A07 in E and F, A08 in E, A09 in D and E; 43 untouched; P22, P25 and P30 untouched in all six; K05's rows left out, written at D6a-02) and 14 branch lines (F17, F18, F19 at P11 in A; F18 at P11 in D; F11, F12, F13, F14, F23 at P13 in D; F11 at A09 in D; F25 at P13 in E; F09 at A07 in F; F20 at P12 in B; F30 at P23 in A); 99 evidence codes resolve. All 35 branches now have a fractal line and are named in the parts. One unvalidated proposal: PR-D6-11 (proposals now 11; its 46 codes resolve).

Licences exercised at D6a-07. K05's rows dropped from the rule's output before writing (d6a07_fractal_D07_noK05.json). F20 placed at its key element in B, where the form line stays untouched, and F30 in A, where the form specifies P23 by add-steps; both lines give the branch's share of the form's holders, as F28 and F31 did at D6a-04. F09 placed at A07 in F by the arrow-end reading of the key rule (its key is on P03, A07's antecedent), with its third room's disagreement written in the line. PR-D6-11's 46 rooms are my reading of the deciding lines, each room counted once.

Slip at D6a-07. Two check commands were refused by the permission check; the second contained a pipe character in Python's set union (|=), and both were redone without it (set.update).

D6a-08: D08 (Contention)

The close-check report of D6a-07 (_analysis/d6a07_validate_D6.txt): 0 errors, 1 warning; fractal lines 50, branches placed 35 of 35. The warning, that retelling-D6.md is not written yet, is expected until D6b. The leg closed normally with done.sh D6.

Answers to the notes that touch D08

D08 in brief

24 form lines (2 leaning: A15 in B and E; 22 untouched; P09, P18 and A18 untouched in all six; C02's and P33's rows left out, written at D6a-05 and D6a-02); no branch lines; 8 evidence codes resolve. No proposal; A15's gloss is a wording item, held with the arrows' wording items from D3c, as A09's is. The dimension legs are complete: eight parts, 396 form lines, 50 branch lines with all 35 branches placed and named, and 11 unvalidated proposals. D6b assembles retelling-D6.md from the parts with the figure, the survival reading by form and the handback.

Licences exercised at D6a-08. C02's and P33's rows dropped from the rule's output before writing (d6a08_fractal_D08_noC02P33.json). The split of B's 18 lines into 7 inside the bound and 11 that the record cannot show is my reading.

Slips at D6a-08. None found.

D6b: the telling, the figure, the handback and the interview

The close-check report of D6a-08 (_analysis/d6a08_validate_D6.txt): 0 errors, 1 warning; fractal lines 50, branches placed 35 of 35. The warning, that retelling-D6.md was not written yet, ended at this leg.

The close-check report of this leg, before the cut (_analysis/d6b_validate_D6.txt): 0 errors, 0 warnings; fractal lines 50, branches placed 35 of 35. With retelling-D6.md present, the check found the figure and the handback, every branch with a fractal line, and every branch named in the telling.

What this leg wrote

Answers to the notes still open

Licences exercised at D6b. The survival reading uses defining rooms, with all members and D's splits in the JSON beside them. The canvas is not read. The form I am most sure of (E) and least sure of (B) are my judgment, with the grounds written in the handback.

Slips at D6b.
