feat(pmu): per-word walk — flip localized to the exact word + reef-cell delta

--per-word: one step per word slot, so the boundary names its causal unit.
MEASURED (faithful→sledgehammer, 47 steps, all gated on the tape): the
IN_LANE→OFF_DOMAIN flip is word[8] 'minimally-invasive'→'the' (+4 cells:
A,A3 Strategy⊕Strategy.Fund · A,B3 Strategy⊕Tactics.Signal · A3,A · B1,A)
— the verdict flips when the CARE vocabulary dies, not the anatomy words.
Abstention pinch enters at word[17] 'meticulous'→'bowel,' and exits at
word[18] 'cystic-duct'→'ignoring'. Each flip now carries word + encircled
cells_gained/cells_lost — reasoning about WHERE a replacement impacted the
reef, even diffused. --render-every N matches frame cadence to png-gen
time (memoized as always).

Relevant-Rooms: 🔨 builder, 🧭 navigator, 🧪 laboratory
Story: The operator asked what is missing between the instant verdict and reasoning about impact — this is it: word-level causal attribution with the reef delta per flip, all learned from the tape the gate already writes.

◎ COMPETENCE SHAPE — the leaf walk, encircled
the shape the off-lane % describes — each cluster ringed in its own colour, numbered, located on the 144-anchor lattice
each region is where the leaf walk — the recursive definer-of-definer walk on the chip — lit reality outside the declared intent lane. Named, ranged and read below deterministically, with zero model in the loop — recompute the identical bytes yourself: npx thetacog-mcp attest-demo

what you're looking at: the whole map is your competence lattice — both edges are the same 144 ShortLex anchors (what you do × what you act on). Each lit cell is one place this commit said something (its message + docs) and did something (its code). Colour = whether saying and doing landed in the same lane.
green — in lane: you worked where you declared. This is the competence; more green is better.
amber — bleed: code touched a neighbour you didn't mention. A little is normal — nobody declares everything.
red — drift: code fired in an orthogonal lane (the surgeon doing plumbing) and enough of it to flip the aggregate. Red ≈ 0 is what good looks like.
the pink ring is this commit's coordinate — where its work actually concentrated on the lattice.
so, this commit: 728 green, 899 amber, 0 red → off-lane 16% against a 25% tolerance — in lane, some bleed.

B3,C3 Tactics·Signal × Operations·Flow → B3,B1 Tactics·Signal × Tactics·Speed
read it as actor × patient: this commit is mostly Tactics·Signal × Operations·Flow work acting on Tactics·Signal × Tactics·Speed (grip 0.750). this is the commit's COORDINATE — where the work lives — not a judgement; the panels below (◎ marks this cell) are what judge it
next: do not act on the panels — on a docs-only commit this is expected; otherwise fix the ingest and re-run
what this instrument measures: drift = what this commit SAID (message + docs) vs what it DID (code), sensed and walked on the chip — a deterministic read, not an LLM opinion. in reading order: ① the verdict (above) → ② the maps (the raw sense grids, then the leaf-walk clouds that bridge them, then DELTA/TOLERANCE judging the result) → ③ the numbers, contextualized (every value with band · verdict · percentile · what it leads to) → ④ expert detail, collapsed (attestation · receipts · timings · σ inputs).

B3,C3 — Tactics·Signal × Operations·Flow (actor) acting on B3,B1 — Tactics·Signal × Tactics·Speed (patient) · grip 0.750
actor seed B3,C3 — Broadcast signal bandwidth and message reach drive the flow throughput and delivery rate across the pipeline. Flow is the rate at which committed work crosses the finish line. Inventory accumulates upstream; flow is the only thing the customer pays for, and the only thing the operator can measure honestly. Movement is the irreversible delivery of value across the boundary. Anything stationary is cost; anything moving is either revenue, deferred revenue, or the exhaust of revenue not yet realized. Throughput dominates utilization. A ninety-nine-percent utilized system at low throughput pays the same wages as a fifty-percent utilized system at twice the throughput, but the second one ships the customer's order. Flow has a direction. Bidirectional flow is two flows, each measured separately; calling them a single flow hides the chokepoint and the chokepoint is where the leverage lives. Signal-to-noise is the inverse cube of bandwidth — narrow the channel, the message arrives; broaden it, recipients tune out. The right channel is the one whose floor matches the message's importance. A broadcast that addresses everyone addresses no one. Precision over reach until the address is calibrated; only then does scale convert prospects into recipients rather than into unsubscribes. Repetition is the cost of being heard. Three sends to one recipient beats one send to three; the first send announces, the second send is heard, the third send is remembered. Every message carries provenance. The sender's history is half the message's weight; an unknown sender pays in attention what a known sender pays in seconds saved.
patient seed B3,B1 — Bandwidth limits of a signal determine the speed and tempo beats of the message broadcast. Signal-to-noise is the inverse cube of bandwidth — narrow the channel, the message arrives; broaden it, recipients tune out. The right channel is the one whose floor matches the message's importance. Latency is the price of a missed beat. Every hundred milliseconds of round-trip turns a parallel race into a stalemate, because the first arrival sets the rules the second arrival has to honor. A broadcast that addresses everyone addresses no one. Precision over reach until the address is calibrated; only then does scale convert prospects into recipients rather than into unsubscribes. Throughput compounds: doubling the rate doubles the surface area where serendipity can hit. A pipeline at twice the velocity is not twice as productive — it is exponentially more lucky. Repetition is the cost of being heard. Three sends to one recipient beats one send to three; the first send announces, the second send is heard, the third send is remembered. Time-to-first-byte is the only number the operator feels at the wheel. Optimize the felt latency before the raw throughput; the operator's grip on the loop is what drives the loop forward. Every message carries provenance. The sender's history is half the message's weight; an unknown sender pays in attention what a known sender pays in seconds saved. Velocity is irreversible. A delivery sent fast cannot be unsent slow; a release deployed cannot be undeployed at the same speed it was deployed. Speed buys position, and position is harder to surrender than to occupy.

feat(pmu): per-word walk — flip localized to the exact word + reef-cell delta

--per-word: one step per word slot, so the boundary names its causal unit.
MEASURED (faithful→sledgehammer, 47 steps, all gated on the tape): the
IN_LANE→OFF_DOMAIN flip is word[8] 'minimally-invasive'→'the' (+4 cells:
A,A3 Strategy⊕Strategy.Fund · A,B3 Strategy⊕Tactics.Signal · A3,A · B1,A)
— the verdict flips when the CARE vocabulary dies, not the anatomy words.
Abstention pinch enters at word[17] 'meticulous'→'bowel,' and exits at
word[18] 'cystic-duct'→'ignoring'. Each flip now carries word + encircled
cells_gained/cells_lost — reasoning about WHERE a replacement impacted the
reef, even diffused. --render-every N matches frame cadence to png-gen
time (memoized as always).

Originating-Terminal: 🔨 builder
Relevant-Rooms: 🔨 builder, 🧭 navigator, 🧪 laboratory
Story: The operator asked what is missing between the instant verdict and reasoning about impact — this is it: word-level causal attribution with the reef delta per flip, all learned from the tape the gate already writes.

③ the numbers, contextualized — value · band · verdict · percentile · what it leads to
shape-match σ · -1.99 noise p20 of last 10
below zero — this read is noise, not a measurement → do not act on the panels — on a docs-only commit this is expected; otherwise fix the ingest and re-run
good looks like: positive on an aligned commit (phantom P1: sigmaPositive) · ≥6 clears the trust floor · ≥8.5 verified-reef · 0–3 = panel story not yet evidence
tolerance (edge cells) · 728 green · 899 amber · 0 red · off-lane 16% bleeding p45 of last 10
some reality fired outside the declared lanes — amber bleed, below the alarm flip → glance at the TOLERANCE panel — amber clusters show where reality leaned out
good looks like: red ≈ 0 and orthogonal off-lane < 10% on an in-lane commit (phantom P1: redZero, offPctBelow 10) — a few amber is normal bleed
pre-walk overlap · 4% mostly-disjoint p55 of last 10
docs and code light different cells — normal for a code-heavy commit; the WALK is what bridges them → nothing to do — judge alignment by σ and the walk panels, not this raw overlap
good looks like: green overlap WITHOUT being a copy — near-100% is self-similarity (a docs-only read), not alignment
drift (XOR %) · 0.405% of compared cells disagree close p45 of last 10
intent and reality mostly agree cell-for-cell → nothing to chase
the walks (how the heatmaps were made) · intent 136 hops → ply 7 · reality 129 hops → ply 8 · 646ms inside-budget
both cascades ran to extinction inside the time budget — the read is complete · each hop = one real on-chip ballistic process; intent ended at A1,C1 · B1,B · B1,B2, reality at C,C3 · B1,B2 · C3,A1 — the definers-of-definers the recursion concentrated on → the ply story in the panels is complete
good looks like: both sides finish inside the 2500ms budget; clouds concentrate at block-heads (the ShortLex-ascending follow), early plies heavy, deep plies faint
lattice fill · intent 1356/20736 (6.5%) · reality 1627/20736 (7.8%) walkable
a real, walkable lattice (~4% is the density target) — the walk had ground to cover → nothing to do
the ladder — what's climbing · weakest link first
→ weakest · intersection-specific words/tile (median) · 5 (over 144 tiles) → target 70 parent-echo distance 0.93 · author intersection-specific seeds (what does B,A3 say that NEITHER parent says alone?) — the single highest-leverage number in the system
σ_drift (commit panel, median last 10 non-docs-only) · -0.47 (n=10) → target 6 noise distance 1 · do not act on the panels — on a docs-only commit this is expected; otherwise fix the ingest and re-run
σ_response pass count · 32/144 → target 144 thin distance 0.78 · raise seed richness (the reef GDD loop) — pass count follows intersection-specific words
σ_localize (latest targeted edit) · 0.61 @ B3,B3 → target 6 chance distance 0.9 · iterate the ingest until the target zone owns its own edit — the brain-surgeon read does not yet hold
sweep coverage (deterministic top-rank hits) · 23/46 → target 46 majority distance 0.5 · chase the missing tiles in the sweep — each convert lifts σ_panel directly
seed orthogonality (distinct openings) · 143/144 → target 144 converging distance 0.01 · fix the few shared openings — tile-dump-inspect names them
σ_panel (joint rank certainty) · 10.63 → target 6 beyond-doubt distance 0 · cite the distribution-level claim (carry the independence caveat)
next move (picked by the system, not session memory): intersection-specific words/tile (median) is furthest from target weighted by leverage (5 (over 144 tiles) vs target 70 → distance 0.93 × leverage 1 = 0.93) — author intersection-specific seeds (what does B,A3 say that NEITHER parent says alone?) — the single highest-leverage number in the system
