IPD‑12 Electric Intake Manifolds
SIM / DIM / TIM / QIM / FSI
Module: IPD‑12 Framework
Version: 2026‑1.0
Role: Input / Coupling / Integration Layer

1. Purpose#

This document defines the intake manifold types for the IPD‑12 engine:

SIM — Single Intake Manifold (1 triad)
DIM — Double Intake Manifold (2 triads)
TIM — Triple Intake Manifold (3 triads)
QIM — Quad Intake Manifold (4 triads, full IPD‑12)
FSI — Full 12‑Stack Intake (3×QIM, full saturation)

Each manifold is an electric, multi‑phase intake assembly that couples external frameworks/theories into the IPD‑12 substrate engine.

2. Manifold types overview#

SIM — Single Intake Manifold#

Definition:
Single‑phase intake feeding one triad (3 primes).

Cycle coverage:

Triad: any one of T1–T4
Hex: none
Full 12‑cycle: partial (3/12)

Substrate mapping:

Si: one substrate pair (e.g., S1)
Oj: one dominant observer mode (O1 or O2)
Rk: one regime shell (typically R1 or R2)

Observer mapping:

Primary: O1 (field) or O2 (regime)
Secondary: O3/O4 only as inferred, not directly driven

Regime mapping:

Regime span: single regime (e.g., Regime‑1 via T1)
Use case: local cycle, local drift/transition, single‑tier Pantheon alignment

Prime mapping (example SIM on Triad 1):

P2 (seed, neutral)
P3 (transition lift)
P5 (drift collapse)

DIM — Double Intake Manifold#

Definition:
Dual‑phase intake feeding two triads (6 primes).

Cycle coverage:

Triads: any two of T1–T4 (often adjacent)
Hex: one hex shell (H1 or H2)
Full 12‑cycle: partial (6/12)

Substrate mapping:

Si: two substrate pairs (e.g., S1+S2 or S3+S4)
Oj: two observer modes (O1+O2 or O2+O3)
Rk: one or two regime shells (R1↔R2 or R2↔R3)

Observer mapping:

Primary: O2 (regime)
Secondary: O1/O3 depending on triad selection

Regime mapping:

Regime span: two regimes or one regime plus boundary
Use case: frameworks that need shell‑level paradox behavior (e.g., RTT drift+paradox, GU connection+curvature)

Prime mapping (example DIM on Hex 1: T1+T2):

P2, P3, P5, P7, P11, P13

TIM — Triple Intake Manifold#

Definition:
Three‑phase intake feeding three triads (9 primes).

Cycle coverage:

Triads: any three of T1–T4
Hex: both shells partially
Full 12‑cycle: partial (9/12), missing one triad

Substrate mapping:

Si: three substrate pairs (e.g., S1+S2+S3)
Oj: three observer modes (O1+O2+O3)
Rk: three regime shells (R1+R2+R3)

Observer mapping:

Primary: O2 (regime), O3 (coherence)
Secondary: O1; O4 only via apex‑adjacent primes if T4 included

Regime mapping:

Regime span: full regime traversal except apex regime if T4 omitted
Use case: frameworks needing full paradox handling but not full apex lift/collapse (e.g., civilizational+chthonic without apex)

Prime mapping (example TIM on T1+T2+T3):

P2, P3, P5, P7, P11, P13, P17, P19, P23

QIM — Quad Intake Manifold#

Definition:
Four‑phase intake feeding all four triads (12 primes).
This is the canonical full IPD‑12 intake.

Cycle coverage:

Triads: T1, T2, T3, T4
Hex: H1, H2
Full 12‑cycle: complete (12/12)

Substrate mapping:

Si: all four substrate pairs (S1–S4)
Oj: all observer modes (O1–O4)
Rk: all regime shells (R1–R4)

Observer mapping:

Primary: O2 (regime), O3 (coherence), O4 (apex)
Secondary: O1 (field) as entry stance

Regime mapping:

Regime span: full regime traversal including apex
Use case: frameworks that must operate as true IPD‑12 engines, with full dimensional lift/collapse and paradox resolution.

Prime mapping:

P2, P3, P5, P7, P11, P13, P17, P19, P23, P29, P31, P37

FSI — Full 12‑Stack Intake#

Definition:
Three QIMs arranged as a 12‑stack lattice:

FSI = QIM₁ + QIM₂ + QIM₃

Each QIM can be:

a different framework manifold (RTT, GU, Pantheon)
a different substrate specialization
a different observer emphasis

Cycle coverage:

Full IPD‑12 cycle per QIM
3× full cycles in stacked configuration
Supports multi‑framework resonance and cross‑canon coupling

Substrate mapping:

Si: 3×(S1–S4) with distinct parameterization per QIM
Oj: 3×(O1–O4) with different observer models (e.g., RTT observer, GU observer, Pantheon observer)
Rk: 3×(R1–R4) with regime specialization

Observer mapping:

Layered observers:
- QIM₁: RTT observer stack
- QIM₂: GU geometric observer stack
- QIM₃: Pantheon mythic‑structural observer stack

Regime mapping:

Regime span: full regime traversal per manifold, plus meta‑regime across manifolds
Use case: TriadicFrameworks meta‑engines, substrate‑aware transport services, cross‑framework alignment engines.

Prime mapping:

Each QIM: full 12 primes
FSI: 36 prime‑state channels (12×3), all canon‑aligned, no new primes introduced—only replicated manifolds.
