IPD‑12 Cycle Animation (ASCII)

Module: IPD‑12 Framework
File: /docs/frameworks/ipd_12/cycle_animation_ascii.md
Version: 2026‑1.0
Role: Visual / Didactic / Paradox Loop Animation

1. Purpose#

This document provides ASCII “animation frames” for the IPD‑12 cycles:

Triad cycles (4)
Hex shells (2)
Full 12‑cycle paradox loop

You can scroll or step through the frames to “watch” the IPD‑12 engine traverse its intransitive structure.

2. Legend#

[ Pn ]  = current focus prime
( Pn )  = neighbor prime in cycle
→       = directed cycle edge
L       = lift (+1D)
C       = collapse (−1D)
N       = neutral / gate / coherence (0D)

10. Dimensional Overlay (Optional)#

You can annotate each frame with L/C/N:

P2(N) → P3(L) → P5(C) → P7(L) → P11(N) → P13(C) →
P17(N) → P19(N) → P23(L) → P29(C) → P31(C) → P37(L) → P2(N)

11. Summary#

This file gives you a scrollable ASCII animation of the IPD‑12 engine:

triads
hex shells
full paradox loop

It’s a lightweight way to see the cycle behavior without diagrams or code.
