Summary

This PR replaces the 7-layer consciousness stack with a comprehensive 10-layer cognitive architecture that spans single-agent perception (L1-L5) through multi-agent refinement (L6-L10). The new system introduces resonance-gated layer activation, XOR delta layers for borrow-safe state management, and a crystallization mechanism for learning.

Key Changes

New 10-Layer Cognitive Stack (src/cognitive/layer_stack.rs)

  • L1-L5 (Single-agent): Recognition → Resonance → Appraisal → Routing → Execution
  • L6-L10 (Multi-agent): Delegation → Contingency → Integration → Validation → Crystallization
  • Each layer has explicit propagation rules and resonance-based activation
  • Replaces sequential wave processing with 2-stroke parallel activation model

Core Infrastructure

  • cognitive_kernel.rs: Bridge mapping 10-layer outputs to BindSpace operations with causal rung mapping (Appraisal→See, Execution→Do, Contingency→Imagine)
  • cortex.rs: XOR delta layer coordinator for borrow-safe state management (ground truth immutable, ephemeral deltas per writer)
  • two_stroke.rs: Parallel 2-stroke engine where all layers fire every cycle against previous-cycle metadata
  • satisfaction_gate.rs: Maslow hierarchy for layer activation (lower layers must be satisfied before higher layers fire)
  • awareness.rs: Borrow-safe blackboard separating read-only computation (grey matter) from mutable updates (white matter)
  • sieve.rs: Socratic sieve with three gates (Truth/Good/Necessary) for self-modification validation

Thinking Style Integration

  • Resonance-gated style selection: system's satisfaction state resonates with style fingerprints
  • Most resonant style activates without explicit orchestrator dispatch
  • Crystallization writes surviving results as bound fingerprints for future resonance

New Contract Crate (crates/ladybug-contract/)

Substrate types for LadybugDB with zero I/O dependencies:

  • container.rs: 8192-bit atomic unit with SIMD-friendly layout
  • record.rs: CogRecord (metadata + N content containers)
  • address.rs: 64-bit CognitiveAddress with domain/subtype/index/hash encoding
  • meta.rs: Zero-copy metadata views (W0-W127 layout with NARS, DN rung, layer markers, qualia)
  • codebook.rs: CAM operation categories (4096 ops across 16 categories)
  • legacy.rs: V1 JSON backward compatibility for crewai-rust/n8n-rs wire format
  • Supporting types: nars.rs, geometry.rs, layers.rs, temporal.rs, delegation.rs, index_types.rs

Backward Compatibility

  • seven_layer.rs converted to wrapper re-exporting 10-layer stack
  • All existing 7-layer types remain available under original names
  • V1 JSON schema preserved via legacy module

Integration Updates

  • fabric.rs: Updated to use 10-layer stack with satisfaction gate
  • grammar_engine.rs: References updated to 10-layer architecture
  • substrate.rs: Integrated with new cognitive kernel
  • nars/mod.rs: Made inference module public for kernel access
  • Workspace structure: added crates/ladybug-contract as member

Notable Implementation Details

  • No sequential dependency: L8 Integration starts forming partial pictures from L5's last-cycle results while L6 Delegation is still fanning out
  • Resonance-gated dispatch: NARS rules selected by resonance to rule fingerprints, not hardcoded dispatch
  • XOR delta layers: Photoshop/SharePoint model where ground truth is &self forever, writers get ephemeral &mut deltas
  • Crystallization feedback: L10 feeds back to L4 (routing rules) and L2 (reson

Introduces a standalone `ladybug-contract` crate containing all pure
data types for LadybugDB's cognitive address space:

- Container (8192-bit HDC vector with XOR, Hamming, bundle ops)
- CogRecord (metadata + N content containers)
- MetaView/MetaViewMut (zero-copy metadata accessors)
- CognitiveAddress + CognitiveDomain (cognitive codebook addressing)
- OpCategory + OpType (CAM operation categories)
- TruthValue (NARS truth functions: revision, deduction, induction, etc.)
- QualiaChannel, layer constants, temporal types
- DelegationRequest/Response (CogRecord-based delegation)
- V1 legacy types (backward-compat wire format for crewai-rust/n8n-rs)

The crate has no I/O, no storage, no network — just types, bit
manipulation, and serde. This enables crewai-rust and n8n-rs to depend
on the canonical types without pulling in the full ladybug runtime.

Replace the 7-layer consciousness stack with a unified 10-layer cognitive
architecture that eliminates explicit dispatch in favor of implicit
resonance-based routing via fingerprint similarity.

New modules:
- layer_stack.rs: 10-layer cognitive stack (L1:Recognition → L10:Crystallization)
  with 7-wave parallel processing and LayerNode/LayerResult types
- satisfaction_gate.rs: Maslow-style continuous modulation where unsatisfied
  lower layers raise higher layers' effective thresholds proportionally
- two_stroke.rs: 2-stroke engine (all layers fire every cycle against
  previous-cycle metadata), ThinkingStyle self-selection via resonance,
  NARS rule fingerprints (deduction/induction/abduction/analogy/revision),
  crystallize/recover_modulation via XOR bind/unbind
- cognitive_kernel.rs: BindSpace bridge mapping layer outputs to kernel
  operations (resonate, write, bundle, crystallize) with popcount
  stacking early-exit at 1-2σ from centroid
- cortex.rs: resonance-gated NARS rule selection replacing hardcoded
  apply_rule("deduction", ...) with gestalt fingerprint similarity

Updated modules:
- sieve.rs: L9 validation pipeline (NARS + Brier + XOR residual +
  Dunning-Kruger detection for high-confidence/high-divergence)
- fabric.rs: 10-layer satisfaction gate, rule/style fingerprints,
  Crystallization triangle driven by L8/L9/L10
- grammar_engine.rs: updated from SevenLayerNode to LayerNode
- seven_layer.rs: thin re-export wrapper for backward compat
- contract/layers.rs: 10-layer constants with deprecation aliases
- contract/legacy.rs: V1EnvelopeMetadata gains dominant_layer,
  layer_activations, nars_frequency, calibration_error for
  cross-agent awareness through shared metadata
