Architecture
01 · Core architecture
PI/Orchestrator, scheduler, fresh worker, deterministic gate, committer, Cognition OS, and the HEAVY authorization boundary.
Open chart →Workflow
02 · Idea Lifecycle
From seed through R2–R8 to proposal-ready, with kill, park, budget, and stagnation rules kept explicit.
Open chart →Sequence
03 · HEAVY Authorization
The sequence REQUESTED → PI-only GRANTED/DENIED → scheduler → heavy_runner → result ingest.
Open chart →Data Flow
04 · Cognition OS
AI briefing, current question, and trust table are read by the pipeline role and written back to insights, experiments, runs, and rejected.
Open chart →Lifecycle
05 · Idea State Machine
State transitions for seed, evidence, developing, feasible, and proposal-ready, including terminal outcomes.
Open chart →Architecture
06 · Pipeline Roles
R0/R1→R5 in EVOLUTION and R6→R8 in an AO-triggered proposal run.
Open chart →Workflow
07 · Cycle Evolution
Traceable evolution from prototype cycle-2/cycle-5 to the observation series and the current v3-obs.
Open chart →Workflow
08 · Gate Decision Flow
7 deterministic checks: filesystem, provenance, schema, transition, ledger, heavy_products, match_records. PASS→commit, FAIL→retry/escalate.
Open chart →Workflow
09 · R2 Value Cap
Core value mechanism: R2 sets the value cap when an idea is born, and later development cannot exceed it. Low-cap ideas should be killed early.
Open chart →Workflow
10 · Cycle Timeline
Evolution from v1 32GB → v2 3.1MB → v3-obs, including the stagnation period, introduction of HEAVY gating, and the current state.

11 · Cognition OS Topology
Complete state topology: briefing/question/trust → role → insights/experiments/sessions/rejected/runs/bug_impacts.
Open chart →Sequence
12 · PI Decision Chain
The complete sequence for PI_DECISIONS.md and HEAVY authorization: the agent may only append lines, while the PI alone owns the verdict.
