IPD‑12 Capture → Drift Unlock Matrix

Formal Operator Unlock Conditions for Inter‑Process Drift#

IPD‑12 enforces a strict contract:

No drift without capture.
No tensor without layered capture.
No coherence without a baseline.
No paradox without declared anchors.

This matrix defines those dependencies.

1. Unlock Matrix (Full Table)#

Capture Field	Unlocks	Notes
name	`map_process()`	Required for identity; no operator runs without it
purpose	`map_process()`	Required for conceptual drift layer
boundaries	`drift()`	Drift cannot be computed without constraints
structural_layers	`drift_tensor()`	Tensor requires multi‑layer structure
operational_flow	`drift_tensor(L2)`	Enables operational drift layer
coherence_baseline	`align_coherence()`	Coherence cannot be aligned without a baseline
domain	`drift_tensor(L5)`	Enables domain drift layer
regime_level	locks out substrate/inversion	Ensures IPD‑12 stays ≤ deep regime

2. Operator Unlock Conditions (Canonical)#

map_process()#

Unlocked when:

name ∧ purpose

compare_process()#

Unlocked when:

map_process(A) ∧ map_process(B)

drift()#

Unlocked when:

boundaries ∧ structural_layers

detect_divergence()#

Unlocked when:

drift()

drift_tensor()#

Unlocked when:

structural_layers ∧ operational_flow ∧ domain

align_coherence()#

Unlocked when:

coherence_baseline

cross_system()#

Unlocked when:

compare_process() ∧ drift_tensor()

3. Drift‑Tensor Layer Unlocks#

Drift‑Tensor Layer	Requires Capture Field
L1: Geometric Drift	structural_layers
L2: Operational Drift	operational_flow
L3: Temporal Drift	operational_flow (with time notes)
L4: Conceptual Drift	purpose
L5: Domain Drift	domain

If any field is missing, that layer is locked.

4. Paradox Unlock Conditions (RTT‑1 Structural Mode)#

A structural paradox requires:

drift() ∧ coherence_baseline ∧ dependency

Where dependency is inferred from:

shared boundaries
shared operators
shared constraints

Thus paradox unlocks when:

boundaries ∧ coherence_baseline ∧ compare_process()

5. Unlock Graph (Compact)#

name + purpose
    ↓
map_process()
    ↓
compare_process()
    ↓
boundaries + structural_layers
    ↓
drift()
    ↓
detect_divergence()
    ↓
operational_flow + domain
    ↓
drift_tensor()
    ↓
coherence_baseline
    ↓
align_coherence()
    ↓
cross_system()
    ↓
paradox(structural)

This is the canonical IPD‑12 unlock graph.

6. Summary#

The IPD‑12 capture grammar enforces:

identity → structure → drift → coherence → paradox
no drift without boundaries
no tensor without layers
no coherence without a baseline
no paradox without dependency + drift + coherence

This matrix is the formal backbone of the IPD‑12 engine.
