115- The correct layout (which you identified in a previous session) is:
123+ > ** UPDATE (Feb 2026):** The canonical layout is now implemented:
124+ > - Every Container = 16,384 bits = 256 × u64 = 2 KB. Always.

129+ >
130+ > The old "8192+8192 = one Fingerprint" model is superseded. Each CogRecord IS one
131+ > full-width container. A node is composed of separate CogRecords (Container 0 meta,
132+ > Container 1 content, etc.), each 2 KB.

125- 2 . ** Make CogRecord = exactly 1 Fingerprint** — upper 128 words = metadata, lower 128 = content
126- OR: Container 0 (meta) + Container 1 (content), serialized as one Fingerprint
127- 3 . ** DN tree in Redis** — each key maps to exactly 2 KB = 1 Fingerprint = 1 CogRecord
128- 4 . ** Spine** — XOR of content containers IS the tree spine, same as Redis DN tree
129-
130- What changes:
131- - ` crates/ladybug-contract/src/record.rs ` — CogRecord becomes ` [Container; 2] ` not ` meta + Vec<Container> `
132- - ` src/core/fingerprint.rs ` — Fingerprint IS a CogRecord (upper=meta, lower=content)
133- - Kill ` src/container/mod.rs ` — everything uses ` ladybug_contract::container::Container `
134- - ` ContainerGeometry::Cam ` (the default, most common) stays as 1 meta + 1 content = 2 KB
135- - Multi-container geometries (Xyz, Chunked, Tree) become linked lists of 2 KB records via DN tree
144+ 2. Kill duplicate Container type — everything uses `ladybug_contract::container::Container`
136145
137146### WHY THIS MATTERS
138147
139- Right now searching requires loading Container (1 KB) then separately loading metadata.
140- With 8192+8192, every record is self-contained. One 2 KB read gives you everything:
141- identity, NARS truth, edges, AND the searchable content fingerprint.
142- Zero joins. Zero second lookups. The record IS the DN tree node IS the Redis value.
148+ Each container is self-contained at 2 KB. One read gives you the full 16,384-bit
149+ searchable fingerprint (Container 1) or the full metadata (Container 0).
150+ Zero truncation. Zero zero-extension. The record IS the DN tree node IS the storage value.
