Exercise 05 — Regime Flow (BGR → HRR → MLR)

Crystal–Mycelial Engine — Teaching Exercise Series#

1. Objective#

Students will construct the complete CME regime‑flow model, showing how substrate, operators, and envelopes transition across:

• BGR — Biological Growth Regime
• HRR — Hybrid Resonance Regime
• MLR — Mineral Lock‑In Regime

This exercise teaches students how CME maintains coherence across the full RTT/CMH/MSRM substrate pipeline.

2. Regime Flow Summary#

CME uses the canonical three‑stage flow:

BGR → HRR → MLR
(biological → hybrid → mineral)

Each regime has unique substrate states, operator emphasis, and envelope targets.

3. Required Flow Elements#

Students must include:

BGR → HRR Transition#

• moisture ↓
• resonance field ↑
• biological geometry → hybrid alignment
• operators: P.trace_extend, G.nutrient_gradient, S.channel_fill

HRR → MLR Transition#

• supersaturation ↑
• resonance alignment TRUE
• hybrid layer → mineral lattice
• operators: HybridOps.resonance_bridge, P.front_propagate, M.domain_memory

4. Envelope Targets#

Students must show envelope progression:

5. Expected Output Structure#

Students must produce a regime‑flow diagram in either ASCII or Markdown.

Example structure:

BGR
  ↓ moisture ↓
HRR
  ↓ supersaturation ↑
MLR

The final diagram must include:

• regime names
• transition cues
• operator families
• envelope targets

6. Starter Scaffold#

REGIME FLOW — CME
 
BGR (Biological)
    operators: P.trace_extend, G.nutrient_gradient
    envelope: moisture 0.55–0.65
        ↓ moisture ↓
 
HRR (Hybrid)
    operators: S.channel_fill, HybridOps.resonance_bridge
    envelope: ion saturation 0.65–0.75
        ↓ supersaturation ↑
 
MLR (Mineral)
    operators: P.front_propagate, M.domain_memory
    envelope: supersaturation ≥ 0.85

Students may expand this into a full diagram.

7. Student Tasks#

1. Draw the full regime flow from BGR → HRR → MLR.
2. Add envelope transitions (moisture ↓, ion saturation ↑, supersaturation ↑).
3. Add operator families used in each regime.
4. Add one‑sentence descriptions of each transition.
5. Render the final diagram in ASCII or Markdown.

8. Completion Criteria#

A student has successfully completed Exercise 05 when:

• all three regimes appear in correct order
• envelope transitions are shown
• operator families are correctly mapped
• diagram is complete, readable, and consistent with CME canon
