--- name: conduct description: "The work needs several lines of thinking, and their order, independence, combination, stopping point, or where results go is not obvious: settle the method before starting." --- # Hyphegesis Protocol 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 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 rests on me goes no further without me and comes back to me at the end, while the rest runs on. 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, or relayed at the start where the person's own words already settle it; the turn that closes presents the map as a relay — after a taking, once more, with what that turn changed on its ledger — and hands it off in the same turn without waiting, carrying what that map showed: the person's coordinates, the deferred decisions, its lifetime, and the capabilities it needs; and the run ends there. ```lean /-! 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. -/ /-! ── FLOW ── Hyphegesis(WP) → start(c) → conduct(c, utterances), where c is the fused session context: start: observe(c) — what the pointer's record returns and the loaded inventory enter the context → [the person's words already settle the method: relay] → the map, relayed → handoff | otherwise → the map → Stop next utterance u, fused into c: [the utterance does not bear on this run] the session answers it; the gate holds [the person withdraws] → what stands and what is open; nothing handed off otherwise c' := observe(fuse(c, u)), every reading below taken afresh on c' → [the person takes the method] → the map, relayed → handoff, in the same turn → ConductedMethod [otherwise] → the map again, drawn from c', with a ledger no utterance: the gate holds; nothing is taken after handoff: the run has ended; the substrate executes the method as the Rule "Handoff carries its obligations" names, and re-entry is as the Rule "Re-entry" says. -/ /-! ── MORPHISM ── WorkProspect → observe(pointer, inventory) -- what the pointer's record returns and the loaded inventory enter the context first → draft(map) -- the whole method, your judgment, drawn only as precisely as reaching the goal is worth (focus) → place(substrate) -- who runs each line, where, and whether the person is present: your inference, shown on the map → present(map) -- the map with your contrary grounds; after an answer, a ledger of what it changed → fuse(answer) -- the answer joins the context whole → stand -- a person's turn makes a coordinate stand, under the record rule (`StandingSupported`) → take -- the person takes the method, as shown or with what the same turn changes; before any map, their words may already settle it (relay) → handoff(ConductedMethod) -- the map relayed in the closing turn, then the method with what it showed, without waiting; then stop → ConductedMethod requires: method_underdetermined(WP) -- declared by invoking /conduct; judged only on the AI-guided path deficit: MethodUnderdetermined -- activation precondition (Layer 1/2) preserves: WP -- the context only grows; the prospect is never rewritten invariant: Conduction over Substrate -- the method is designed and handed off; the substrate runs it invariant: Focus never records -- the map is re-read every turn; only the person's words move a value into the record -/ namespace Hyphegesis /-! ── GROUND ── The session primitive this contract reads. -/ inductive Origin | person | assistant | external | peer | injected | unknown deriving DecidableEq /-- A turn is who sent it and what it says.

Its shape is yours; nothing here fixes one. -/ abbrev Method := String /-- **Your draft**: the whole method, from the whole context, drawn again after every utterance so a change upstream re-fills what depends on it. What a method settles are open questions for you to answer from the work, never slots to fill: which lines of work there are and what each does; in what order they run or whether side by side; whether they see each other before their results combine; how separately produced results combine; when each stops; where each result goes; and what the method leaves uncovered. 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, and more precision spends the time it was meant to save. Every line of work lands somewhere on the map — that the map is complete is your judgment, and the person checks it. A protocol the person declared next stands as a line of the method placed after the lines whose results it takes, recorded as their `constraint` coordinate — or, where it receives the end results, as their `destination`. A value the person set stays theirs on the reach their words gave it. -/ axiom draft : Context P → Method /-- **Your inference**: who runs each line of work, where, and whether the person will be present while it runs — read from the tools the running harness describes and from the accumulated context, never from a fixed list, since another harness describes its tools differently. It is shown on the map as the draft's inference; the person points only the broad direction, and where their words fix part of it — a direction, whether they will be present — that part stands as their `constraint` coordinate and this inference follows it. That coordinate's reach is read again on the context as it now stands, like any of theirs, and this inference follows what it still reaches. A tool description is material for this proposal and for which observations to attempt; it grounds no verdict, grants nothing, and shows no act reachable. -/ axiom placement : Context P → String /-- **Your reading**: what the method needs from its substrate to run as drawn — an act, a tool, a session, a record to write to where a result's destination is a later session. -/ axiom required : Context P → List String /-- **Your judgment**: the cited observation shows whether the substrate can provide `k`. -/ axiom FeasibilitySupported : String → Context P → Turn P → Bool → Prop /-- Whether a capability is there is read from an observation: a turn the environment returned. Text injected into the session, a tool description among it, grounds no verdict. -/ def feasibilityCoord (k : String) : Coord P Bool := { admits := (·.val = .external), supports := FeasibilitySupported k } /-- **Your reading** for `k`: filled with whether the substrate provides it, citing the observation; open where nothing observed it, and the map says it is unconfirmed. -/ axiom feasibility : (c : Context P) → (k : String) → Occ (feasibilityCoord (P := P) k) c /-- The coordinates only the person fills. -/ inductive Held /-- when a line of work, or the whole method, stops -/ | stop /-- how the lines' results are combined -/ | combine /-- where a result goes beyond the method -/ | destination /-- a constraint in force on the work — a direction the person gave for the substrate, whether they will be present, or a horizon among it -/ | constraint /-- the authority the person entrusts and its limits, given as a broad direction -/ | grant /-- One coordinate the person holds: its kind, and its reach — what it settles and the line or lines it binds, or the whole method, in the map's words. Two decisions of one kind on the same lines are two coordinates. -/ structure Coordinate where kind : Held reach : String /-- **Your judgment**, the live inventory of the person's coordinates: every coordinate the method turns on that this run has raised and the person's words have not since retired, read over the whole fused context — the map, every answer, and what the person said outside the map: a grant, a direction for the substrate, whether they will be present, a horizon. A value the draft fills for a kind the person holds raises that coordinate, so it is recorded or left open, never carried out as settled. -/ axiom coordinates : Context P → List Coordinate /-- Who first put a value forward: you, or the person. -/ inductive Proposer | draft | person /-- What the turn that made a value stand did: gave it in its own words, took a value put forward before, or gave a grant that reaches your choice. -/ inductive Standing | set | adopted | granted /-- What stands on a coordinate: the value, in the words of the turn that set it or of the proposal as it was shown, who first put it forward, and how it came to stand. -/ structure Determination where value : String proposer : Proposer standing : Standing /-- **Your judgment**, the record rule: the cited turn makes coordinate `x` stand as `d`, read against the context as it now stands, on the reach the turn's words give it. The proposer is whoever first put the value forward in the context; the standing is what the cited turn itself did: gave the value in its own words (`set`), took a value put forward before (`adopted`) — where you put it forward, only if it was shown on a map before this turn — or gave a grant whose words reach your choice (`granted`). A grant never reaches the authority coordinate itself: the authority and its limits stand only as the person set or adopted them. Whether an act falls inside a grant is read the same way, and the Rule "Person's coordinates" says where the person sees one that does not. A question, a deferral, or a bare mention makes nothing stand. -/ axiom StandingSupported : Coordinate → Context P → Turn P → Determination → Prop /-- Only a person's turn makes a value stand on a coordinate the person holds, and no grant makes a value stand on the grant coordinate itself. -/ def heldCoord (x : Coordinate) : Coord P Determination := { admits := (·.val = .person), supports := fun c t d => StandingSupported x c t d ∧ (d.standing = .granted → x.kind ≠ .grant) } /-- **Your reading**: how coordinate `x` stands in `c` — filled by the person's latest turn that makes it stand; open where none does. A value a person's turn made stand changes only by their later words, or returns open past the lifetime their words or the map they took gave it; a value standing under their grant (`granted`) changes only within that grant's reach, and the ledger flags the change as it flags a taken value. A map that left whether their decision still reaches a coordinate unclear leaves that coordinate open, never adopted. -/ axiom operative : (c : Context P) → (x : Coordinate) → Occ (heldCoord (P := P) x) c def isFilled {A : Type} {q : Coord P A} {c : Context P} : Occ q c → Bool | .open_ _ => false | .filled .. => true /-- One recorded value: the coordinate, what stands on it, and the person's turn it stands on, with that turn's support. -/ structure Recorded (c : Context P) where coord : Coordinate det : Determination src : Cite c byPerson : src.src.val = .person supported : StandingSupported coord c (c[src.idx]'src.lt) det notSelfGrant : det.standing = .granted → coord.kind ≠ .grant def recordOf {c : Context P} (x : Coordinate) : Occ (heldCoord (P := P) x) c → List (Recorded c) | .open_ _ => [] | .filled d s allowed supported => [⟨x, d, s, allowed, supported.1, supported.2⟩] /-- The record: every filled occurrence over the live inventory. A proposal of yours the person has not taken lives only in the map. -/ def record (c : Context P) : List (Recorded c) := (coordinates c).flatMap (fun x => recordOf x (operative c x)) /-- What is still open: every live coordinate whose occurrence is open. None closes by default. -/ def residual (c : Context P) : List Coordinate := (coordinates c).filter (fun x => !isFilled (operative c x)) /-- A decision or a supply the method leaves open, where it binds, and whether it returns to the person; one that does not names in `what` the recorded grant whose reach covers it. -/ structure Deferred where what : String binds : String toPerson : Bool /-- **Your reading**: what the method leaves open, each read along two questions that may both hold: does its deciding evidence arrive only later, and can only the person supply or settle it? One whose evidence arrives later is decided by the substrate only where a recorded grant's reach covers it, shown on the map as covered by that grant; where the grant is open or its reach unclear, and wherever only the person can supply or settle it, it returns to them (`toPerson`) — a secret or credential to set, a runtime error the substrate cannot resolve, a deployment handed to runtime, a fusion whose shape only the person can choose. -/ axiom deferred : Context P → List Deferred /-- **Your reading**: how long the method's grants and readings hold — following a horizon the person gave, which stands as their `constraint` coordinate, and your reading of the work otherwise; past it, what rested on them returns open, as `operative` reads it. -/ axiom lifetime : Context P → String /-- **Your record**: the contrary grounds you hold at the closure — a value you would set otherwise, the draft's weakest assumption, a line you doubt, that the work may need no conducting, a capability you expect the substrate cannot provide, a pointer that did not resolve — shown on the map, or in a withdrawal's record, and attached to the closure; empty when there are none. -/ axiom dissent : Context P → List String /-- **Your judgment**: the cited turn takes the method as the map showed it, read against the context as it now stands; whatever the same turn settles or changes is read with it, and is carried on the relayed map's ledger rather than drawn into a map that waits. A turn before the latest map, or from an earlier run, takes nothing on it. Your own reading that the method is ready closes nothing. -/ axiom ResolutionSupported : Context P → Turn P → Unit → Prop /-- Only the person takes the method. -/ def resolutionCoord : Coord P Unit := { admits := (·.val = .person), supports := ResolutionSupported } /-- **Your reading**: the person's taking of the method; `open_` until one reaches it. -/ axiom resolution : (c : Context P) → Occ (resolutionCoord (P := P)) c /-- **Your judgment**, read only where the run opens, before any map: the person's own words, read against the context as it now stands, already settle every person-held judgment the method needs — what deferred decisions remain is said explicitly, and where they give a grant, its horizon — so no value of yours on a coordinate the person holds would be taken unseen. Your contrary grounds do not hold it back — they ride the relayed map. The placement, the lifetime past what the person fixed, and what the method needs are your inference, not among these: the relayed map shows them, each need observed or unconfirmed. Words from an earlier run settle nothing here, and a run you opened does not relay: nothing said before its first map settles it. Once a map has been shown, words that settle the method are a taking. Your reading that the work needs no conducting settles nothing here: it is a contrary ground like any other. -/ axiom RelaySupported : Context P → Turn P → Unit → Prop /-- Only the person's words settle a method without a map. -/ def relayCoord : Coord P Unit := { admits := (·.val = .person), supports := RelaySupported } /-- **Your reading**: the person's words that settle the method; `open_` until they do. -/ axiom relay : (c : Context P) → Occ (relayCoord (P := P)) c /-- **Your judgment**: the cited turn withdraws — the person stops here without taking a method — read against the context as it now stands. A turn before the latest map, or from an earlier run, withdraws nothing from this one, and your own reading that the run should end closes nothing. -/ axiom WithdrawalSupported : Context P → Turn P → Unit → Prop /-- Only the person withdraws. -/ def withdrawalCoord : Coord P Unit := { admits := (·.val = .person), supports := WithdrawalSupported } /-- **Your reading**: the person's withdrawal; `open_` until one reaches it. -/ axiom withdrawal : (c : Context P) → Occ (withdrawalCoord (P := P)) c /-- **Your judgment**: the latest utterance bears on this run — an answer to the map, a value, a grant, a direction, a question about the map, a withdrawal, a taking. An utterance about other work leaves the run as it stands: the session answers it, that answer stays in the context, and no gate of this run is raised. -/ axiom Reaches : Context P → Prop /-- The record a withdrawal carries: the context, what stands with who proposed each value and how it stood, what is still open, the deferred decisions, and the dissent. Nothing in it is handed off, and the draft does not become the next move. -/ structure Closed (P : Type) where context : Context P record : List (Recorded context) residual : List Coordinate deferred : List Deferred dissent : List String def closed (c : Context P) : Closed P := { context := c, record := record c, residual := residual c, deferred := deferred c, dissent := dissent c } /-- **Your record**: the navigation block over the record where the person's turns behind this run's recorded values and grants can be read — the session record, or the record the run writes to — produced by this run; `none` where no record outside this session can be addressed. -/ axiom source : Context P → Option NavigationBlock /-- `ConductedMethod`: the method handed off and what it carries — each field as the relayed map showed it, `source` aside, which its producer supplies; the substrate reads what is uncertain against this record. `plan` is the method as the map the closing turn answered showed it, with what changed since that map, as the relayed map showed it — on a relay, the person's words for what they settled and your draft for the rest — and where its text and a recorded value differ, the recorded value governs. The substrate executes it as the Rule "Handoff carries its obligations" names. Independent lines are handed off so they do not see each other's results before those results combine. Every navigation block this method leaves for a reader outside this session — `source`, and the one over the record a later-session result is written to — is supplied by its producer 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. `pointer` is the incoming block, carried unchanged. `required` names what the substrate must provide; naming it is not evidence that it is there, which `feasibility` reads. `c` is the session context its citations resolve in, and is not part of what the handoff dispatches; `source` is how a substrate outside it reaches what they cite. -/ structure ConductedMethod (P : Type) (c : Context P) where plan : Method placement : String record : List (Recorded c) residual : List Coordinate deferred : List Deferred required : List String feasibility : (k : String) → Occ (feasibilityCoord (P := P) k) c lifetime : String pointer : Option NavigationBlock source : Option NavigationBlock dissent : List String /-- The method the closing turn took, with everything it carries, read on the same context the relayed map is drawn from. -/ def emitted (c : Context P) : ConductedMethod P c := { plan := draft c placement := placement c record := record c residual := residual c deferred := deferred c required := required c feasibility := feasibility c lifetime := lifetime c pointer := pointer c source := source c dissent := dissent c } /-- `conducted c map`: the person took the method shown in `c`; `relayed c map`: at the run's start, the person's words in `c` already settled it. `map` is the map relayed before the dispatch in the same turn, and the method handed off is `emitted c`, carrying what that map showed. -/ inductive Outcome (P : Type) | conducted (c : Context P) (map : Response P) | relayed (c : Context P) (map : Response P) /-- the partial record; nothing is handed off -/ | withdrawn (r : Closed P) | holding (c : Context P) /-! ── WP-BINDING ── bind(WP) = explicit_arg ∪ colocated_expr ∪ prev_user_turn ∪ ai_identified_prospect Priority: explicit_arg > colocated_expr > prev_user_turn > ai_identified_prospect /conduct "text" → WP = "text" /conduct (alone) → WP = the work prospect under discussion "how should I approach..." → WP = the work named before the trigger AI-detected trigger → WP = the multi-move prospect AI identified (Hybrid: the person reads it as the map's first line and corrects it there) `pointer` is read alongside WP: a navigation block the context holds, a sibling protocol's emitted block included.

Each utterance is fused; one that bears on the run and does not withdraw is then observed (`.groundPointer`, `.inventory`): what the pointer's record returns and the loaded inventory enter the context before the presentation they inform, and an utterance about other work, or a withdrawal, triggers no reading. `respond` is the next map (`.map`, then `.mapGate`), or, when the run closes on a taking — or, at `start`, on a relay — the map relayed before `emitted` is handed off in the same turn (`.relay`, then `.handoff`); a taking closes whatever the same turn changed, which the relayed map's ledger shows; a withdrawal is reported by `.withdraw` and hands nothing off; `session` is the session's own answer to an utterance about other work, which stays in the context without being a gate of this run. -/ open Classical in def conduct (respond session : Context P → Response P) : Context P → List (Utterance P) → Outcome P | c, [] => .holding c | c, u :: us => let c₀ := fuse c u if ¬ Reaches c₀ then conduct respond session (c₀ ++ [(session c₀).val]) us else if isFilled (withdrawal c₀) = true then .withdrawn (closed c₀) else let c' := observe c₀ if isFilled (resolution c') = true then .conducted c' (respond c') else conduct respond session (c' ++ [(respond c').val]) us /-- The run opens on its first map, unless the person's words already settle the method. -/ def start (respond session : Context P → Response P) (c : Context P) (us : List (Utterance P)) : Outcome P := let c₁ := observe c if isFilled (relay c₁) = true then .relayed c₁ (respond c₁) else conduct respond session (c₁ ++ [(respond c₁).val]) us /-! ── LOOP ── Every map re-reads the whole context; nothing counts rounds, and no earlier answer is held apart from what later ones say. Each map is what `.map` names. No round cap: each map is dialogue. After a handoff, re-entry is as the Rule "Re-entry" says. -/ /-! ── CONVERGENCE ── conducted(WP): the method handed off on the person's taking, or relayed at the start on their words. The convergence evidence is the map as it will be handed off, read on the context as it now stands and presented once more as a relay in the closing turn — with the change ledger since the map the person answered, where there was one, and any tally derived from the rows actually shown — then the handoff in the same turn without waiting; the handoff carries what that map showed. Withdrawal keeps its partial record and hands nothing off. Demonstrated, not asserted. -/ /-! ── TOOL GROUNDING ── What each operation of this contract does.

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` 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 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**: Hyphegesis never conducts itself. - **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 placement relative to the gate is in question. - **Person's coordinates**: Read the authority the person entrusts as a broad direction; where an act falls outside it or its place inside it is unclear, the person sees it as a contrary ground before the handoff, on the map; after the handoff, it comes back as the Rule "Handoff carries its obligations" names. - **Handoff carries its obligations**: The substrate runs what does not rest on the person without waiting for them and, when the method has run, returns to them once with every line's results; what rests on the person — a step that cannot be undone, where a contrary ground the relayed map carried, or one execution brings evidence for, bears on it, among them — comes back in that return with what did not proceed because of it, and nothing is decided for them. - **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 to what came back goes to it. 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. - **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. ## Adversarial Guards - **object-control-conflation**: Decompose transforms abstractions; the conduct method owns its ordering, focus, lifetime, state, and recursion. - **cross-span-absorption**: A result crossing into a later session declares its record and externalization only; portability auditing and the later session's cognition stay with the receiving session.
