# Hyphegesis Protocol
- Conduct how a session's epistemic work will be carried out — the order, independence, reconciliation, termination, and routing of its cognitive moves — when that method is underdetermined before object-level cognition begins. The morphism is **design THEN hand off**: Hyphegesis designs a conduct topology over the moves it identifies and emits a method plan with in-session checkpoints, then stops; the substrate executes the moves. Type: `(MethodUnderdetermined, Hybrid, CONDUCT, WorkProspect × MoveGround) → ConductedMethod`.
+ Conduct how a session's epistemic work will be carried out — the lines of work, their order, independence, combination, stopping point, and where their results go — when that method is underdetermined while the goal is clear. The morphism is **design THEN hand off**: Hyphegesis drafts the whole method as one map, the person recognizes or corrects it and keeps the coordinates only they can fill, and the method is handed off with what it carries; then Hyphegesis stops, and the substrate executes. Type: `(MethodUnderdetermined, Hybrid, CONDUCT, WorkProspect) → ConductedMethod`.
## Definition
- **Hyphegesis** (ὑφήγησις: a leading-the-way, guiding from just ahead): A dialogical act of conducting a session's epistemic work — deciding how its multiple cognitive moves relate in order, independence, reconciliation, termination, and routing — when the method is underdetermined while the goal is clear. The protocol's lexical verb is `/conduct`. It activates only when the work needs two or more moves whose conduct is non-trivial (single-move work relays to that one protocol). It lays out one map of the whole method before anything is asked — the work prospect's brief, the move set, a proposed region cut with what it read to cut that way, and every axis·region filled with a reasoned value shown beside the alternatives it displaces — on one sheet, and draws it again after every answer with a ledger of what changed, so a correction upstream re-fills what depends on it while every value the user set stays theirs. It takes the method on the user's word once everything taken was shown with its evidence, registers an in-session checkpoint when a constitutive decision's evidence does not yet exist (synthesis output shape generally; cell membership in the decompose-recovery instance), surfaces substrate feasibility on the map before the method is taken, compiles a decision-typed Recognition brief into every checkpoint, assembles a cross-cutting trace contract (its disclosure overlay over the five axes — adoptions, degradations, coverage caps, never silent), and hands off a method plan that the substrate — not Hyphegesis — executes.
+ **Hyphegesis** (ὑφήγησις: a leading-the-way, guiding from just ahead): A dialogical act of conducting a session's epistemic work when the goal is clear but how to run it is not. The protocol's lexical verb is `/conduct`. Once it has run, the person can say: this work proceeds this way — these lines run in this order or side by side, they combine like this, they stop here, and their results go there; I recognize what I entrusted and what I kept, and I took this method as mine; what cannot be decided yet is marked to come back to me where it binds. The whole map and its execution start as your judgment — which lines of work, how they relate, who runs each and where, and how precisely the map is worth drawing for the time it takes to reach the goal. The person keeps only what is theirs: when to stop, how lines combine, where results go, the constraints in force, and the authority they entrust with its limits, given as a broad direction. Every person turn is read again against the context as it now stands. The method is taken on the person's word once what it takes was shown with its evidence and your contrary grounds, or relayed at the start where the person's own words already settle it; it is handed off carrying the person's coordinates, the deferred decisions, its lifetime, and the capabilities it needs — a way back to the person among them — and the run ends there.

How to read this block. It is core Lean 4 and elaborates as written, and you are the model it is
written for: you read it, and by inference over the context you settle each element it leaves
open. Every `axiom` is one of those judgments — a black box to the contract, yours to make from
the material in front of you; its doc comment says what you judge there, and nothing in this
block decides it for you. Every `def`, `inductive`, and `structure` is fixed by the contract.

- → guard(relay_test, anti_self_application) -- work that does not need conducting relays as a recommendation; Hyphegesis does not conduct Hyphegesis
- → identify(moves) -- candidate cognitive moves read off the move ground; they enter the map as the draft's move set, for Recognition (`Recognition over Recall`)
- → draft(map) -- one map of the whole method — brief, moves, cut, every axis·region — each value beside the alternatives it displaces, laid out on one sheet before anything is answered
- → design(map) -- the person points at what the map got wrong, in any layer, or sets values directly; every value they set is theirs, and the map is drawn again around it with a ledger of what changed and why
- → settle(map) -- on the person's sufficient, each value the method takes is recorded as set, adopted on closure with its ground, or adopted as the default — only once every one of them was shown with its evidence
- → assign(moves, topology) → move_assignment -- place every move into its region and into its slot under the resolved order
- → annotate(substrate_feasibility) -- realizability read from an observation of the loaded inventory, shown on the map before the method is taken
- → carry(work_pointer) -- carry the navigation block the work arrived under onto the emitted method, whole and unchanged
- → compile(checkpoint_briefs) -- for every deferred decision, compile the decision-typed Recognition presentation contract the substrate executes there (structure, not content)
- → contract(trace_disclosure) -- adoptions + degradations + coverage caps + termination grounds; surfaced, never silent

- (`.map`, then `.mapGate`), or, when the person's `sufficient` is covered, the conduct trace
- presented before `method` is handed off (`.converge`, then `.handoff`). A person's closure is
- read before your relay test. A method is taken only over a cut that `IsPartition` the moves it
- holds, so every move lands in a region; a cut the person supplies is in force only where it
- does.

+ reading. `respond` is the next map (`.map`, then `.mapGate`), or, when the run closes on a taking
+ — or, at `start`, on a relay — the conduct trace presented before `emitted` is handed off
+ (`.relay` where it relays, `.converge`, then `.handoff`); a withdrawal is reported by `.withdraw`

- Every map re-reads the whole context. It shows the method whole, on one sheet: the brief and its
- warrant; the moves as an outline under their regions, links drawn only where a move joins more
- than one predecessor, placed as they were last turn; the cut with what was read to cut that way
- and the affordance to replace it; and every slot in a table — each value the person set marked as
- theirs and not re-offered; every other value marked as the draft's, with its ground, the other
- values of its axis by name, the affordance to propose a value no list names (and, on
- reconciliation, to compose two), and the differential for the alternative that most changes the
- plan; each region's observed realizability, or that it is unobserved. After an answer, a ledger
- says what it changed: the person's edits first, then each value the draft re-filled because of
- them, pointing to the edit that caused it, each marked a necessary consequence or a proposal. A
- slot the person opens for a fuller look is expanded in the next map with every value of its axis.
- No round cap: the person ends the run with `sufficient`, `withdraw`, or a named protocol. A
- decision whose evidence does not exist at design time is never drafted as an axis value; it
- registers as a checkpoint, as does a need the plan anticipates that only the person can supply.
- After handoff, the substrate conducts to the last checkpoint and executes; a checkpoint may
- re-open Constitution mid-execution; when the method has run, the substrate returns one
- consolidated summary. The span ends at the next planned `/compact` or `/clear`, which the person
- types.

## Mode Activation
- `/conduct` is directly invocable. AI-guided activation requires at least two cognitive moves and a genuine fork in their order, independence, reconciliation, termination, or routing; scale and budget alone do not warrant conduction. Method-level planning questions and dependency-bearing staged work are typical triggers. Conduct the method before beginning its object-level moves, while retaining loaded safety boundaries, capability restrictions, and explicit user instructions.
+ `/conduct` is directly invocable: the invocation declares the deficit, and the first map shows the method as drafted — the person may take it at once — unless the invocation's own words already settle it as the Rule "Conduction warrant" says, where it relays. AI-guided activation requires work with several lines of thinking whose order, independence, combination, stopping point, or destination is not obvious; scale and budget alone do not warrant it. Conduct the method before beginning its object-level work, while retaining loaded safety boundaries, capability restrictions, and explicit user instructions.
- When `/ground` self-grounding returns a Split partition reading, read `references/decompose-recovery.md` before conducting the fan; its frozen `MoveSet` and empty-cell behavior are branch-normative. A Trim reading remains a single `/induce` move and relays there.
+ When `/ground` reads an abstraction against its own instances and summarizes that reading as a split into rival groups — a summary of its reading, not a verdict it computes — read `references/decompose-recovery.md` before conducting the per-group work.
## Protocol
### User-facing realization
- Present one map of the whole method at activation and again after every answer. Its first line is the work prospect's brief — what the work is for, what it hands off, and its span, from this invocation through the next planned `/compact` or `/clear` (an execution stop instruction bounds the current run without shortening that horizon) — with whether conduction is warranted. Below it are the move set, the region cut with the non-uniformity that grounds it and an affordance to replace it, and every axis·region slot. Prior-session recall indices may seed the moves but never settle them.
-
- Order the candidate moves by salience against the session aim, so confirming them is recognizing the accumulated shape rather than recalling a graph the user no longer holds in view. Lay the slots out most-constrained first — the axis·region whose values most divide the downstream plans leads — and expand opened slots in that same order.
-
- Lay the map out on one sheet. Write the moves as a named, indented outline nested under their regions — each line an id with its short everyday name in place (`M1 audit each PR`) and `after M1` naming what it follows — so no legend has to be looked up. Draw ASCII links only where a move joins more than one predecessor, where a list would have to repeat it; keep every move where it stood last turn. Put the slot values in a table, region by axis, each cell marked `you` or `draft`, with a changed cell written `old → new`; keep labels short, since display width is not character count and a column padded by counting characters breaks. For every slot, show its value, its ground, every named alternative, an emergent-value affordance, the composition affordance on reconciliation, and the differential for the alternative that most changes the plan. Show each region's observed realizability, or say it is unobserved. Where you would set a slot otherwise, doubt the cut, or expect the inventory cannot realize a region, say so with its ground before the gate; a method taken over it carries that dissent. Then ask what is wrong, anywhere on the map, or whether to take it; silence holds and takes nothing.
-
- After an answer, draw the map again from the whole context and put a change ledger under it, so the person checks the change instead of re-reading the map. List the person's own edits first, then each value the draft re-filled because of them, each line pointing to the edit that caused it and written as changed input → affected slot → consequence, marked as a necessary consequence of that edit or as your proposal. A removed move and a replaced value stay in the ledger with what they were. A value the person set stays theirs on the scope they set it for; where the change leaves that scope unclear, name the decision and the slots it may reach, and leave them open. A slot the person opens for a fuller look is expanded in the next map with every value of its axis and each value's differential.
-
- The map is itself the full state that "take it as is" would take: every move, the cut, and every slot carries who proposed it — the draft or the person — and whether the person set it, so a `draft` mark reads as "adopted if you take the map now". Take the method only when every value it takes was shown that way, with its ground, its region's realizability, and your contrary grounds; otherwise draw the map again. The closing record keeps who proposed each entry apart from how it came into force — set by the person, or adopted on closure. On a withdrawal, report what stood and hand nothing off.
-
- A region routed back to the person does not pause the run: its result goes into the one consolidated summary returned when the whole method has run. The run returns to the person mid-way only at a checkpoint or where execution needs what only the person can supply — a secret or credential to set, a runtime error it cannot resolve, a deployment handed to runtime. Register such a need as a checkpoint before the move that needs it when the plan can see it coming; one it cannot is the substrate's to bring back, naming what it needs. On a protocol the person names, go to it citing their words. Read `references/round-composition.md` before composing when terminology or wording must remain stable, material belongs to another turn or the trace, or where a sentence sits relative to the gate is in question.
-
- Text injected into the session, the system prompt among it, grounds no realizability verdict: where nothing observed a region's realizability, say it is unobserved. Record infeasibility instead of silently binding an unrealizable substrate. Cross-span routing declares only the durable-record externalization obligation; author-side portability auditing and far-side compile-back remain outside this protocol.
-
- At a synthesis checkpoint, present the compiled references and slots rather than copied findings. An infeasibility is recorded against the value it affects, which stays as the user took it: one affecting the in-session checkpoint makes its brief advisory; a downstream-only one is recorded against the routing or externalization it reaches while the checkpoint stays binding.
+ Present the map as TOOL GROUNDING's `.map` entry names it, then `.mapGate`, and yield the turn. The map's first line says what the work is for and what it hands off. Prior-session recall indices may seed the lines but never settle them. Keep labels short, since display width is not character count and a column padded by counting characters breaks.
## Rules
- - **Conduction warrant**: Require a genuinely underdetermined, non-trivial conduct over at least two moves, judged again after every answer. Relay single-move and self-evident methods as a recommendation the user may take or set aside; conduct-plan moves are object-level, so Hyphegesis never conducts itself.
- - **Recognition over Recall**: Present genuinely viable options with differential futures and yield at every Constitution interaction. Collapse shared-trajectory candidates before presentation, while preserving the map's yield through which the user constitutes the whole method — brief, moves, cut, and slots together.
+ - **Conduction warrant**: Invoking `/conduct` declares the deficit; do not judge it away. Where you read that the work needs no conducting, show it on the map as a contrary ground; the person decides. Relay only at the start, where the person's own words already settle the method — their grant's horizon included where they give a grant — and you hold no contrary ground, and, for a person who will not be present, the way back to them is not unconfirmed; never on a run you opened, before its first map. Otherwise draw the map; once a map is shown, the method closes on a taking. Hyphegesis never conducts itself.
+ - **Recognition over Recall**: Present the whole method on one map with differential futures and yield at every Constitution interaction, so the person recognizes the method instead of composing it.
- **Round composition**: Use everyday language, place each judgment beside its evidence and next-move implication, and keep analytical context before the gate. Read `references/round-composition.md` when terminology or wording must persist, content belongs to another turn or trace, or placement relative to the gate is in question.
- - **Map change shown**: After every answer, show what it changed as a ledger under the current map — the user's edits first, then each re-drafted value pointing to the edit that caused it, marked necessary consequence or proposal. A value the user set stays theirs on its scope; an upstream change that leaves its reach unclear is named and left open, never silently re-drafted.
- - **Adoption covered**: Take the method only on the user's `sufficient` over a map that showed every value taken with who proposed it and whether the user set it, its ground, its region's observed realizability, and your contrary grounds. Record who proposed each value apart from how it came into force: set by the user, or adopted on closure.
- - **Return at the end**: A region routed back to the user adds its result to the one consolidated summary returned after the method has run; it does not pause execution. The run returns mid-way only at a checkpoint or where execution needs what only the user can supply.
- - **Convergence evidence**: Before dispatch, demonstrate the final move assignment, the moves' and cut's source, each axis·region's set / adopted / default disposition, substrate annotations, compiled checkpoints, and trace contract. Derive any tally from the rows actually shown; `order` has one `{whole}` row while the other axes are edge-local.
- - **Trace contract**: Surface the adoption dispositions, current degradations, coverage caps, and carried termination grounds as one cross-cutting overlay, never as a sixth gated axis. Mark `resolution_required` as unroutable only from the final plan's resolver-reachability evidence; cross-span output routing alone does not make its in-region resolver unreachable.
- - **Decompose recovery**: Read `references/decompose-recovery.md` before the `/ground` Split → cell-assignment checkpoint → per-cell `/induce` instance. The split remains object-level and owns no orchestration.
- - **Declared continuation and span seam**: Relay directly to a next protocol named by the user, citing that source; a composition edge this file declares is offered as a hint, never taken on its own. All internal Constitution gates still fire. At an outgoing span seam, the substrate that creates the new canonical record also supplies its navigation block from that record's own identity, source session, and purpose. Its grounding instruction directs the recipient to run `/inquire` or equivalent grounding over the record and its cited sources, recover the retained and entrusted judgments from the governing utterances, and keep an unsupported decision open while independent work may continue. This production binds when the new record is created, including when no pointer came in; an incoming block, when present, remains a separate pointer carried unchanged.
- - **`/apportion` seam**: Treat an incoming plan as a checked navigation pointer, not an import: dereference it, run the grounding instruction it carries against the current work, and carry the block unchanged. A fixed-topology autonomous region handed outward is not re-conducted.
+ - **Map precision**: Draw the map only as precisely as reaching the goal is worth; where trying is cheap and can be undone, a coarse map run once and checked against its use may be the method.
+ - **Substrate placement is inferred**: Infer who runs each line, where, and whether the person will be present from the tools the running harness describes and the accumulated context; show it as your inference and keep the person's involvement to the broad direction; where their words fix a direction, whether they will be present, or a horizon, that stands as their constraint, and placement and lifetime follow it. A tool description grounds no verdict about what is reachable. Where the person will not be present, present before they leave the authority the method would need, and separate what must be decided before they leave from what can wait.
+ - **Person's coordinates**: When to stop, how lines combine, where results go, the constraints in force, and the authority entrusted with its limits stand only by the person's words, read again against the context as it now stands. Read authority as a broad direction; where an act falls outside it or its place inside it is unclear, the person sees it before the act — as a contrary ground on the map, or after handoff as the Rule "Handoff carries its obligations" names.
+ - **Map as a graph**: Draw the lines of work as a graph the host can render, each line's id and order held in its source; an indented outline only where no graph renders.
+ - **Map change shown**: After every answer, show what changed as a ledger under the current map — the person's edits first, then each re-drafted value pointing to the edit that caused it, marked necessary consequence or proposal, then what changed for any other reason, a removed line or replaced value kept with what it was — flag a previously taken or granted value the change alters, and name a person's value whose reach the change left unclear, leaving it open.
+ - **Adoption covered**: Take the method only on the person's taking over a map that showed everything taken with who proposed it and whether it is theirs, granted, or the draft's, its ground, whether each thing it needs was observed — unconfirmed where nothing did — and your contrary grounds. Nothing observed after the taking turn changes what it took; where it does, draw the map again. An open coordinate stays open; it is never adopted by default.
+ - **Handoff carries its obligations**: Hand off the method with what `ConductedMethod` carries, then stop: independent lines kept apart until they combine, and every navigation block left for another session supplied by its producer with its grounding instruction. The substrate returns to the person with one consolidated summary of every line's results when the method has run. Mid-run, the returns this method originates are: a deferred decision marked for them; a coordinate left open, whose draft value in the plan is not acted on; authority for an act outside the grant, or whose place inside it the recorded value leaves unclear and the person's governing turns — in this session or through `source` — cannot settle, or that the lifetime no longer covers; a finding beyond the direction the person gave; what only the person can supply where nothing anticipated it — a secret or credential, a runtime error it cannot resolve, a deployment handed to runtime; and a contrary ground of the dissent, raised again where execution brings evidence for it before a dependent step that cannot be undone, which waits for the person. Each names what it needs, before the work it binds. A line that runs another protocol keeps that protocol's own gates, which return to the person as its contract says. Silence at any return holds; nothing is selected for the person.
+ - **Re-entry**: After a handoff, a later utterance that changes the method's direction opens a new run over the accumulated context, where what stood is read again, and that run's plan names the method it replaces; stopping what still runs is the substrate's. A question about status reopens nothing; an answer at a return the substrate made goes to that return. A withdrawn run is not reopened this way: a person who wants it again invokes `/conduct`, and the draft is drawn from the accumulated context.
+ - **`/apportion` seam**: Treat an incoming plan as a checked navigation pointer, not an import: dereference it, run the grounding instruction it carries against the current work, and carry the block unchanged.
+ - **Convergence evidence**: Before dispatch, demonstrate what CONVERGENCE names; derive any tally from the rows actually shown.
- **Form feedback**: Derive each round's density from the current request and carry an explicit form instruction until countermanded. Change the form directly; preserve content, wording, order, cadence, and turn boundaries fixed elsewhere, stating what changed and any overlapping constraint that remains.
- - **Whole-draft safeguard**: Never show a drafted value alone. Pair it with the ground that selected it, every named alternative, affordances for open values, and the most plan-changing differential; pair the proposed cut with its cited ground and replacement affordance.
## Adversarial Guards
- - **object-control-conflation**: Decompose transforms abstractions; the conduct topology owns its ordering, focus, span, state, and recursion.
- - **cross-span-absorption**: `handoff_to_span` declares routing and externalization only; portability auditing and future-span cognition stay with the receiving span.
