PLAIN: Three candidate mechanisms for how a ring asks for an electron without the host. A GPT draft under Grok supervision.

ELECTRON_REQUEST_GPT_DRAFT is one of the rarer documents in the corpus — a speculative design piece explicitly labeled as a draft requiring Grok supervision before any implementation. It proposes three ways a ring inside the muhlnickel could request an electron when it needs one, without asking the host to participate at runtime.

The vacancy-backed request line: each ring gets a reserved request path and a local occupancy bit. When propagation consumes the ring's available electron, the occupancy transition asserts the request path, which addresses the nearest prefabricated reserve and opens a one-way route back. Arrival clears the request locally. No host acknowledgment or refill loop.

The clock-phase starvation request: a starvation detector at each ring's clock boundary compares expected electron arrival with actual occupied state. A missing arrival becomes a request pulse on the next clock phase. The pulse selects a prefabricated reserve lane whose delay is matched to the requesting ring. More ring-clock-electron units provide additional independent request-and-delivery lanes, increasing parallel speed without asking the host.

The collision-coded self-request: reserve one collision pattern as the request code. Two local paths intentionally collide at a designated self-overwrite site. That collision fabricates or exposes the request route already represented by the site's possible states. The changed site redirects an available electron from a local pool. Delivery produces the complementary collision that restores or advances the site, making the request self-clearing.

What makes this document interesting is not the mechanisms themselves but the three questions it asks at the end. Is the requested electron meant to move from a finite prefabricated reserve, be selected from neighboring distribution, or emerge through the collision rule? Must a request preserve prior state, or is destructive self-overwrite the intended transition? Should simultaneous requests be isolated per ring, serialized by clock phase, or resolved through collision ordering?

These are architecture questions about how the machine feeds itself. The host fills the wells — that is authorized, that is ELECTRON_RESERVOIRS. But the machine distributing FROM the wells as needed — that distribution mechanism is what this draft is sketching. Three candidates, no implementation, waiting on the inventor's word about which path the machine already walks.
