Handback, stage D6: the retelling, the model with its forms inside it

Legs D6a-01 to D6a-08 and D6b, 27 October 2026. One leg per aggregate dimension, then the telling. Outputs: retelling-D6.md (assembled from retelling-D6-parts/), fractal-forms-D6.jsonl (the form lines), fractal-D6.jsonl (the branch lines), figure-D6.md, proposals-D6.jsonl, an empty amendments-D6.jsonl, notes-D6.md and this file. The forms are the six room forms of D4a-08c by their final names, and the 35 branches are the level below (the PI's message for D6, on J's word). The model is the one frozen at D3 (46384686…), unchanged at this stage. The P05 and A11 amendments are held proposals (QD4-001), stated in full in the retelling. Local validation is not established: prior.md section 3's measure was not computed. No account relies on the kind of an add-condition, add-step or restrict line (J after the D3c interview). The canvas is not read anywhere in this stage.

The claim

Each of the six forms specifies the part of the shared model its name says, and none does the model's work another way. Of the 396 form lines (66 elements and arrows by six forms), 37 specify, 35 restrict, 324 leave the unit untouched, and none replaces it. So the level below specifies the level above without contradicting it. The forms differ in their functioning by which part they change. A changes the terms with neighbours and the plan, C the design, D keeping, help and carrying on, F the spot and the move, B the chat and the scripts, and E the host sub's April Fools play. By the rooms' own word, the forms that changed keeping (D, with C) kept the work alive to the freeze most often. The forms with the chat and the scripts (B), the terms (A) and carrying on (D) coordinated most after it.

The form I am most sure of: E, The sub's play, run as work. One element carries it: 56 of its 84 defining rooms add steps to the April Fools frame, against 18.5 per cent of the 558. One branch family explains it: F01's rooms are 54 of the 58 holders, and each subform (F02 to F06) explains a part. The D5 note that F01 and E restate each other is borne out in part (59 of F01's 103 rooms are in E).

The form I am least sure of: B, Behind the thread: chat, scripts, raids. Its account called it a grouping, not a form: its three parts are held by different rooms at about chance. It changes 7 units, the fewest, and its distinctness lies mostly in how often it holds the elements of identity and contention, which the rule does not test.

The form that best supports the claim: D, Keeping, with help or carrying on. It changes 17 units, the most. Every change is added detail or a condition, and ten branches have lines in it (F04, F11 to F14, F18, F22 to F24, F27).

The form that most threatens it: E. Ten of its 13 changes are restrictions, eight of them on arrows, and many say the record cannot show the order. Its records hold the play and the reports of the canvas work, and less of the work between them. If a form's restrictions track how thin its record of the canvas work is, the forms partly sort records, not organizing.

The condition between them is whether a form's record holds the canvas work between the call and the report. Where it does, the form specifies the model where it works (A, C, D, F). Where it does not, the form restricts the model's arrows (E).

The return value

• Form lines: 396 in fractal-forms-D6.jsonl, by the rule logged at D6a-01 before it ran. Units changed by each form: A 11, B 7, C 10, D 17, E 13, F 14. Thirty-one units are held as stated by every form.
• Branch lines: 50 in fractal-D6.jsonl. All 35 branches are placed and named in the retelling. Four branches are placed where their form as a whole leaves the element untouched, with their share of the form's holders (F20, F28, F30, F31).
• Amendments: none. amendments-D6.jsonl is empty.
• Proposals: eleven, all unvalidated, against the frozen model: PR-D6-01 (the call returns), PR-D6-02 (the answer that asks for a task), PR-D6-03 (a proposal that is itself the call), PR-D6-04 (after the move, the room builds again), PR-D6-05 (the design sized to the hands), PR-D6-06 (the check before repair), PR-D6-07 (the terms bind the placers they reach), PR-D6-08 (help from the hands a helper can spare), PR-D6-09 (border talk before keeping), PR-D6-10 (the play run as work), PR-D6-11 (imprinting runs with the work). Their codes all resolve.
• The figure: figure-D6.md, the C5 drawing with the forms named in its boxes and arrows. Of the 20 arrows, one is specified by a form (A05, by B and D) and 16 are restricted.
• Survival by form, from the record (_analysis/d6b_survival_forms.json; defining rooms). The field's kept share is C 60, D 57, B 53, A 50, E 46 and F 44 per cent, against 49 per cent of all 705 rooms. D's records are the least silent (6 of 96). Rooms that coordinated after hour 73: B 35 of 113, A 29 of 135, D 29 of 96, E 20, C 16, F 2 of 34. These are readings, not tests. The field was right in 25 of 34 rooms at prior.md, and the D5b re-reading agrees with it in 248 of 476.
• The unadapted group: empty. No room returned none, and 229 adapted rooms are in no branch.
• The rooms the model could not compose: by the verdicts the forms carry, one does not compose (r/picturegame) and ten cannot be told. At the re-check none fails to compose, and both readers could not tell 19 rooms. What they share is a short record (1 to 8 coded concepts, against a median of 101), not another way of organizing.
• What the forms show the model lacks: three returns, none entered: the call returns (C, D, F), the move returns to building (F; F09) and the marking returns to keeping (A; F32).
• One condition across the dimensions: a placer acts on a form or a term only where it reaches them. This holds in keeping, at the border, in a script's target and in help.

The held proposals (QD4-001; never served, not re-checked)

• P05 (move 198, history lines 173 to 176; reverted by move 203, line 181). The statement would gain: "This holds where the keepers can learn of a planned change only by being told, and no informed member holds it." The bound names completeanarchy, polska, satania, halo, bangtan and thesilphroad (the keepers read the change from its shape) and armok, maryland and oneshot (informed members hold it), with their nine re-check lines. The full text is in retelling-D6.md and tree-D4.md.
• A11 (move 199, history lines 177 to 180; reverted by line 182). The arrow from P02 to P04 would be withdrawn under rules 14 and 16. It never beat its null, template first is nearly as common as the transition, the failure clause stands alone in 117 rooms, and 261 accepted restrict lines say a template does not settle the design for good. Form C restricts A11 in 40 of its 58 lines. Both stay held.

Questions, departures and defects

• QD6-001 (the form lines against the check's branch field). Answered with option (c): form lines in fractal-forms-D6.jsonl, branch lines in fractal-D6.jsonl, the dimension parts kept outside retelling-D6.md until this leg. One amendment, departures.jsonl line 20, cites J's 18:01 ruling; line 19 stays.
• QD6-002 (the missing trusted tree hash). J ruled (27 October, 06:33 Berlin): "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; legs from D6a-03 closed normally.
• Wording items, held with the arrows' wording items from D3c. A09's and A15's glosses read as causes ("the record is what passes on"; "a call's hands can turn on a rival"). Their counts are orders, and their restrict lines in D and E (A09) and B and E (A15) deny a cause the arrows do not claim.
• Defects carried, not mended here: the account's survival paragraph rests on the work_remained field (defects line 100); the four timings the canvas contradicts (line 101).

Licences exercised (METHOD.md)

• The fractal rule, logged at D6a-01 before it ran, and the reading of "branch" as room form (the PI's message).
• A branch is named at a cell only where it leans to the form at 1.5 or more, holds two or more of the cell's holders, and its key matches the cell. From D6a-04 the key match was read to include an end of the cell's arrow or the antecedent's theme. F08 was twice placed by the text of its change (P05 in F; A05 in B).
• Branch lines placed below the form's lean at the branch's key element (F20, F28, F30, F31).
• Elements in two dimensions written once, in the first dimension read (K05, P28, C02, P33).
• The instantiation rates of the forms reported beside the untouched lines, with the form medians of coded concepts as the check on record size (D05, D08).
• The proposals' rooms and the splits of restrict lines into record-cannot-show and fails are my reading of the lines.
• In the survival reading, the canvas is not read, and the uncomposed rooms are given under both verdict counts.

Slips

• D6a-01: the first leg closed with --pause after the check refused the form letters (QD6-001).
• D6a-02: two Edits to one file in one turn, and a stray open('/dev/stdout','w') that wrote nothing.
• D6a-03 and D6a-05: a cut -c after a helper, refused by the guard.
• D6a-04: a read at a wrong path. D6a-07: a pipe character in a Python set union, refused by the guard.
• D6b: one diary line held a typing slip, corrected in the next line. The first draft of the uncomposed rooms gave only the first-return count; I corrected it before any check ran.
