1. Purpose#

Define a canonical workflow that chains retrieval → remix → export → archive so remixathons operate as continuous validator cycles. Each cycle produces new scrolls, preserves legacy artifacts, and extends remix lineage.


2. Workflow Chain#

Step 1: Retrieval#

  • Source: Archived scrolls (registry/archive/).
  • API: Legacy Retrieval API (RFC‑API‑0015).
  • Action: Contributors query by glyph, tag, or lineage to select scrolls for remix.
  • Validator Hook: Ensure retrieved scrolls conform to archive_schema.yml.

Step 2: Remix#

  • Source: Retrieved scrolls + contributor annotations.
  • Module: Remix Export Module (RFC‑EXP‑0013).
  • Action: Contributors select corridors, apply new tags/glyphs, add narratives.
  • Validator Hook: Remix lineage diff protocol (RFC‑REMIX‑0005) ensures ancestry links.

Step 3: Export#

  • Source: Remix results.
  • Module: Export function packages scrolls into remix_scroll_schema.yml.
  • Action: Generate new scroll artifact with glyph distribution, RCI bands, dignity layer.
  • Validator Hook: Scroll signed and checksum logged.

Step 4: Archive#

  • Source: Exported scrolls.
  • Protocol: Remixathon Archival Protocol (RFC‑ARC‑0014).
  • Action: Archive scrolls as immutable legacy artifacts, update archival index.
  • Validator Hook: Archive entry stamped with validator version and timestamp.

3. Workflow Diagram (textual)#

4. Python‑style Orchestration Stub#

5. Validator Hooks#

  • Cycle integrity: Each step must produce validator‑grade artifacts.
  • Lineage continuity: Remix scrolls cite parent ancestry; archive preserves immutable record.
  • Checksum: Each cycle generates reproducibility checksums.
  • Dignity separation: Narratives remain distinct from empirical metrics.

6. Notes#

  • Workflow is iterative: each archive becomes retrieval source for next cycle.
  • Remixathons become continuous validator events, producing legacy artifacts each round.
  • Contributors can join at any stage: retrieval, remix, export, or archival.

7. Concept Sketch (textual)#

Cycle 1: scroll-003 (⬣ Gamma Corridor) → remixed → scroll-010 → archived
Cycle 2: scroll-010 retrieved → remixed → scroll-020 → archived
Cycle 3: scroll-020 retrieved → remixed → scroll-030 → archived
...

This Remix Generation Workflow makes remixathons perpetual validator cycles: retrieval feeds remix, remix feeds export, export feeds archive, and archive feeds retrieval again.
