Overview
We formalize the Codex’s operating premise: the lithosphere behaves as a georesonant archive where structure (faults, fabrics), state (pressure, saturation, temperature), and signal (acoustic/EM) together encode long‑cycle events. Cultural works (megaliths, channels, terraces) read and sometimes write into this archive by steering flows, phase transitions, and local resonance.
Objectives
- Define the Crustal Memory Model (CMM) that composes V3/V4 indices into a single node/corridor score.
- Publish reproducible queries and API hooks to generate memory maps and time‑stacked narratives.
- Establish ethics and stewardship constraints (PSL) for discovery without exploitation.
Architecture of the Georesonant Archive
| Layer | Inputs (examples) | Role in Memory | Linked Modules |
|---|---|---|---|
| Structural | Fault nets, joint fabrics, batholiths | Writes/locks stress history | V3.4, V3.5, V4.10 |
| Hydrologic | Aquifers, paleo‑channels, phase reservoirs | Stores chemical/isotope “ink” | V4.7–V4.9 |
| Kinetic | Spillways, hammers, siphons | Local write/read operations | V4.11 |
| Resonant | Quartz Q, solar forcing windows | Amplifies/filters signals | V4.5, V4.10 |
| Temporal | OSL/IRSL, U–Th, tephra, varves | Time stamps and versioning | V3.3, V4.8 |
Symbols are introduced once; see Notation Charter for full semantics.
Crustal Memory Model (CMM)
CMM blends component scores (scaled 0–1) into a node‑level Memory Integrity Index (MII):
| Component | Symbol | Plain Term (ARIA) | Default Weight |
|---|---|---|---|
| Structural continuity | Σs | structural continuity | 0.22 |
| Hydro memory | ℋ | hydrologic memory | 0.22 |
| Resonant quality | 𝒬 | resonant quality | 0.18 |
| Kinetic imprint | 𝚱 | kinetic imprint | 0.18 |
| Temporal anchoring | Τ | temporal anchoring | 0.20 |
MII = Σ wᵢ·Cᵢ, reported with uncertainty bands; weights vary ±0.1 in sensitivity sweeps.
Memory Mechanics
- Write: melt pulses, floods, quakes, ignition events create shifts in stress/chemistry/texture.
- Store: aquifers, veined quartz, varved basins and polish bands retain multi‑modal traces.
- Read: isotope stacks, polish stratigraphy, passive acoustics, EM micro‑variations recover history.
- Rewrite: engineered drainage or kinetic tooling can update local states (careful ethics gating).
Evidence Patterns (V4 roll‑up)
- Lowland exhale nodes (V4.7) coincide with high ℋ and strong temporal anchoring Τ via seasonal stacks.
- Bathymetric echoes (V4.8) back‑project forgotten corridors that increase Σs continuity across shelves.
- Phase reservoirs (V4.9) raise 𝒬·ℋ where multi‑state water and quartz co‑occur.
- Kinetic workshops (V4.11) elevate 𝚱 via repeatable pulse/jet signatures and polish fields.
Methods (Reproducible)
- Layer Ingest: DEM/DTM, LiDAR, hydro maps, mineral indices, paleo proxies, event catalogs.
- Normalization: scale components to [0,1], document transforms and priors.
- CMM Solve: compute MII per node/corridor; propagate uncertainty (bootstrap/Bayesian).
- Cross‑Checks: require coherence with V3.6–V3.7 timing windows and V4.5–V4.10 constraints.
- Blind‑Region Tests: train on Corridor A, test on B; publish both success and nulls.
CLI hooks: hydro_memory.py, submerged-vectors.py, bathymetric_inversion.py, quartz_ignition.py. See repo scripts/ and forthcoming READMEs.
Ethics & Stewardship (PSL)
- Non‑extraction default: discovery ≠ exploitation; prioritize data sanctuaries.
- Reversible testing: passive acoustics, tracers, micro‑loggers; no disturbance without consent.
- Cultural primacy: descendant community governance over sensitive layers and narratives.
- Risk disclosure: do not publish precise coordinates for fragile or high‑risk nodes.
Outputs
- MII atlas (node/corridor scores with components and uncertainty).
- Time‑stack narratives that align events, proxies, and human interventions.
- API/CLI for re‑runs with new data, weights, or priors (fully logged).
Validation & Reproducibility
- Monte Carlo nulls for random node sets vs. Codex alignment.
- Hold‑out epochs (e.g., remove a tephra series) to test temporal robustness.
- Inter‑lab replication via open inputs, weights, and seeds.
Bridge to V5
With the archive mapped and scored, V5 elevates from detection to design: earth‑grid inversion, subterranean networks, and living geotechnical systems that co‑operate with the memory lattice instead of fighting it. V4.12 is the ledger; V5 authors the next entry—ethically, reversibly, and in concert with place.
