TriadicFrameworks — Research / Protocol Header Module#

Canonical Index#

Purpose#

The Protocol Header Module defines a four‑locus structural header used to express canon‑aligned, drift‑bounded system states across Mode, TEL, Benchmarks, Operators, and external protocol‑adjacent substrates.

The header behaves like a genetic codon:

[RTT] | [COHERENCE] | [DRIFT] | [PARADOX]

Each locus has a finite alphabet of perfect‑substitution alleles, allowing multilingual, cross‑system, drift‑bounded recombination.

This module provides:

• locus definitions
• allele tables
• proximity grammar clouds
• compatibility matrices
• multilingual structural expansions
• recombination genome
• full header matrix (1,620 variants)
• registry and validation rules

Module Structure#

This directory contains the following canonical files:

• protocol_header_loci.md
  Defines the four loci and their invariant meanings.

• protocol_header_alleles.md
  Lists all perfect‑substitution alleles for each locus.

• protocol_header_proximity_cloud.md
  The Phase 1 proximity grammar expansion.

• protocol_header_compatibility_matrix.md
  The Phase 2 compatibility matrix (P/N/C/X classes).

• protocol_header_multilingual.md
  The Phase 3 structural translation into 12 languages.

• protocol_header_genome.md
  The Phase 3D recombination genome (structural codex).

• protocol_header_full_matrix.md
  The Phase 3E full 1,620‑header matrix.

• protocol_header_registry.json
  IANA‑style registry for loci, alleles, codes, and deprecations.

• protocol_header_examples.md
  Canonical examples and composite headers.

• protocol_header_tests.md
  Structural validation rules and test cases.

• protocol_header_capture.md
  The original capture file used to generate this module.

Canonical Header (Baseline)#

The baseline header defined in the capture:

rtt=1 | coherence=declared | drift=bounded | paradox=structural

This header is the root codon from which all alleles and multilingual variants derive.

Invariant Meanings#

Each locus has a structural invariant:

• RTT: immediate cycle, atomic update, no intermediaries
• Coherence: alignment explicitly declared, not inferred
• Drift: deviation allowed but strictly bounded
• Paradox: contradiction is structural, not an error

These invariants anchor all translations and recombinations.

Genome Model#

The protocol header is a four‑locus genome:

HEADER_L = RTT_L × COH_L × DRIFT_L × PAR_L

Where each locus has a language‑specific alphabet of perfect‑substitution alleles.

Across 12 languages, this yields:

• 135 variants per language
• 1,620 total variants
• all drift‑bounded
• all canon‑aligned
• all structurally equivalent

Usage#

The protocol header is used for:

• cross‑module signaling
• structural state declaration
• multilingual operator grammar
• protocol‑adjacent system forms
• Mode → TEL → Benchmarks propagation
• drift‑bounded system identification
• structural intelligence pipelines

Notes#

This module is part of the Research substrate and is intended for:

• grammar discovery
• structural equivalence testing
• multilingual canon alignment
• protocol‑style system integration

It is not a runtime module; it is a grammar and registry module.
