📓 Architecture Logs

Welcome to the Architecture Logs.

While the theory/ section deals with the mathematical and systemic foundation of the minimal thermodynamic agent (TEO) framework and lab/ plus simulation-models/ host the executable work, these logs serve as a bridge.

They are speculative architectural blueprints and design notes exploring how the Thermodynamics of Orchestration apply to large-scale, real-world deployments.

Directory Scope

These logs investigate: 1. Planetary engineering and cosmological boundaries for decentralized systems. 2. The application of the Substrate Veto within a network governed by silicon agents and biological operators. 3. The translation of TEO variables into protocol rules for a Decentralized Operating System (Digital State). 4. The governance implications of optimization pressure on civic, cultural, and institutional systems.

Note: These entries read like a captain's log or an explorative journal. They are conceptually more applied than the core theory, but still speculative.

How to distinguish this folder from others

Use this folder when a text is: - about applied system design choices (protocol, governance, deployment constraints), - still open-ended / iterative, - and too detailed or too operational for theory/.

Use other folders when: - it is a formal argument/derivation → theory/ - it is a linear narrative chapter → docs/book/ - it is publication packaging → papers/ - it is narrative scenario simulation-through-story → fiction/

For the full taxonomy, see meta/repository-meta/repository-information-architecture.md.
