Mineral Lock‑In Regime (MLR)

Crystal–Mycelial Engine — RTT / CMH Substrate Phase#

1. Regime Identity#

Regime: Mineral Lock‑In Regime (MLR)
Layer: Mineral substrate
Role: Stabilize mineral logic substrate and finalize domain memory
Operators: P • M • E • S

2. Purpose#

The Mineral Lock‑In Regime defines the final substrate phase in which crystal lattice propagation stabilizes and impurity‑encoded memory forms.
MLR is the phase where CME completes:

• lattice propagation
• domain formation
• impurity band memory encoding
• resonance‑aligned stabilization

This regime produces the mineral logic layer of the Crystal–Mycelial Engine.

3. Substrate Behavior#

Lattice Propagation#

• Crystal lattice grows along preserved biological geometry
• Hybrid layer acts as a structural guide
• Supersaturation drives propagation speed

Domain Formation#

• Resonance alignment determines domain orientation
• Thermal envelope stabilizes lattice boundaries
• Impurity incorporation encodes memory

Impurity Band Memory#

• Defect regions store memory transferred from hybrid layer
• Branch scars influence impurity band placement
• Resonance fields lock impurity patterns into stable domains

4. RTT Operator Mapping#

Propagation (P)#

• P.front_propagate — advance crystal growth front
• P.domain_extend — extend mineral domain boundaries

Memory (M)#

• M.domain_memory — encode memory in crystal domains
• M.impurity_memory — stabilize impurity band patterns

Energy (E)#

• E.resonance_field — generate field for lattice alignment
• E.domain_lock — stabilize resonance‑aligned domains

Substrate (S)#

• S.dual_substrate_alignment — maintain coherence during mineral takeover
• S.substrate_swap — finalize transition from hybrid → mineral

5. MSRM Envelope Requirements#

Supersaturation Envelope#

Target: ≥ 0.85

• Required for lattice propagation
• Supports impurity band formation

Thermal Envelope#

Target: −3 to −5 °C shift

• Stabilizes mineral domains
• Locks resonance‑aligned geometry

Resonance Alignment Envelope#

Requirement: TRUE

• Mandatory for domain memory formation
• Ensures coherent lattice propagation

6. Outputs of MLR#

• Crystal lattice
• Mineral logic regions
• Impurity band memory
• Resonance‑aligned domains
• Final mineral substrate map (mineral_map)

These outputs define the CME’s mineral logic layer.

7. Transition Completion#

MLR completes the CMH substrate cycle when:

• lattice propagation stabilizes
• impurity bands are fully encoded
• resonance alignment remains coherent
• biological and hybrid layers have fully transferred memory

At this point, the Crystal–Mycelial Engine reaches its final substrate state.
