RFC-001 — φ–V–R Operator Standard

Category: Operators
Status: Draft
Version: 0.1
Module: RTT / Inside / Benchmarks

1. Purpose#

Define the canonical φ–V–R operator grammar, shapes, drift boundaries, and composability rules for structural intelligence systems.

2. Scope#

This RFC covers:

• φ (form)
• V (variance / energy)
• R (resonance)
• operator composition
• operator alignment
• operator drift

It does not cover invariants, resonance ladders, or entropy collapse (see RFC‑002, RFC‑003, RFC‑004).

3. Definitions#

• φ: structural emergence
• V: energy stabilization
• R: cross‑scale resonance
• Operator Drift: deviation from canonical shapes

4. Specification#

• φ rises monotonically
• V stabilizes after φ
• R spikes then stabilizes
• canonical composition: φ → V → R
• drift thresholds:
  • Δφ > 0.03
  • ΔV > 0.05
  • ΔR > 0.02

5. Compliance#

A system is operator‑compliant when:

• φ–V–R follow canonical shapes
• drift remains below thresholds
• composition order is respected

6. Examples#

See H_Examples.md, Sections A and B.

7. Reference Captures#

See B_Capture.md, Capture Set A.

8. Open Questions#

• Should φ–V–R be extended for multi‑modal systems?
• Should hybrid φ_q, V_q, R_q be included here or remain in RFC‑004?
