🌊 Substrate Flow — Integration Map

Flow connects everything. This file maps where the currents run.

Module: Substrate Flow Canonical ID: SF HSP Section: 08 Role: Cross‑module alignment

Integration Principle#

Substrate Flow is the output stage of the HSP analytics triad. It receives classified, lattice‑placed echoes and maps their movement. Every upstream module contributes data; downstream systems consume flow records.

Upstream Inputs#

1. Echo Classifier (06c)#

Provides: Classified echo type (E1–E6) + input vector

The Echo Classifier determines what the echo is. Substrate Flow uses the echo type to select the primary flow channel.

Data Flow:

EC-Tag → classified_echo → SF-Read

2. Triadic Echo Lattice (07)#

Provides: Lattice position + origin substrate

TEL determines where the echo sits. Substrate Flow uses the origin substrate to establish the flow starting point.

Data Flow:

TEL → lattice_position + origin → SF-Read

3. Echo Strength Index (04c)#

Provides: ESI level (1–4)

ESI determines flow range. Higher ESI = more channels accessible.

Data Flow:

04c ESI → esi_level → SF-Read

4. Cross‑Substrate Echo Matrix (05a)#

Provides: Substrate spread (1–5)

Substrate spread confirms how many substrates the echo occupies, validating the flow channel assignment.

Data Flow:

05a Matrix → substrate_count → SF-Read

5. Harmonic Recursion Detector (06)#

Provides: Recursion mode (R1–R4) + drift status (D1–D4)

Recursion mode selects the recursion‑driven flow line. Drift status activates the drift current mapper.

Data Flow:

06 Recursion → recursion_mode + drift_type → SF-Read

Downstream Consumers#

6. HSP Stability Analysis#

Receives: Flow records (flow status, drift, atlas pull)

HSP stability classes and drift maps consume flow records to assess system‑wide stability. Flow status directly feeds stability tier assignment:

7. Opacity (OPC)#

Receives: Flow records (channel, driver, drift)

Opacity operators detect when flow channels become invisible:

Triad responsibilities:

• EC (06c): Decides what the echo is.
• TEL (07): Decides where the echo sits.
• SF (08): Decides how the echo moves.

Integration with Broader Canon#

SET Decomposition#

Flow channels map to SET channels:

FFF Lattice#

Flow channels map to FFF layers:

Inverted Star#

Flow direction encodes star face visibility:

• Upward flow illuminates higher star faces.
• Reversed flow (impossible in canon) would darken them.
• The unidirectional constraint preserves star coherence.
