| name | agentprivacy-lattice-coherence |
| description | The canonical encoding of the 6-dimension sovereignty lattice and the discipline for keeping every repo in the suite agreeing on it. Activates when assigning or auditing a vertex, when a persona's vertex number and dimension-meaning seem to disagree, when reconciling the grimoire / spellweb / tomes / docs before a pin, when a new mage is seated, or when a vertex reading (binary, dimensions, stratum, complement) needs verification. Carries the standing rule: meaning is the invariant; the vertex is DERIVED from meaning under the canonical encoding. Ships a runnable coherence linter (`scripts/lattice_coherence_audit.py`).

Lattice Coherence
The single source of truth for the sovereignty-lattice encoding, and the discipline that keeps
the whole suite agreeing on it.
"Meaning is the invariant. The number is derived. Audit before you pin."
Spell: 🛡️16·8·4·2·💎 → derive → verify → 🔒
1. The canonical encoding (MODEL)
The lattice is Z/(2⁶)Z — 64 vertices, each a 6-bit reading of the six sovereignty dimensions.
The only canonical bit→dimension mapping is the Privacy-Value-Model definition itself
(privacy-value-model-v5.4.json sovereignty_dimensions + lattice-vertex.ts vertexToBits):
| bit | weight | dimension | symbol |
|---|
| 0 (MSB) | 32 | Protection | 🛡️ |
| 1 | 16 | Delegation | 🤝 |
| 2 | 8 | Memory | 📜 |
| 3 | 4 | Connection | 🔗 |
| 4 | 2 | Computation | ⚡ |
| 5 (LSB) | 1 | Value | 💎 |
Read a vertex: active(n) = { dim : n & weight }. Examples (memorize these as checksums):
- V35
100011 = Protection + Computation + Value
- V38
100110 = Protection + Connection + Computation
- V25
011001 = Delegation + Memory + Value
- V41
101001 = Protection + Memory + Value
- V63
111111 = all six (the Sovereign Anchor)
The rejected encoding (CORPUS). specs/04-vertex-naming-audit.md and the older persona
placements used a corrupted order that mirrored the middle four (16↔Computation, 8↔Connection,
4↔Memory, 2↔Delegation). It agrees with MODEL only on the endpoints (Protection=32, Value=1), which
is why drift hid for so long. If you ever see V16 called "Computation" or V2 called "Delegation",
you are reading CORPUS — it is wrong.
2. The reidentification rule
A persona's dimension-set is its meaning (Memora is memory + the shield of value; Aletheia is
the bright medium = Protection+Connection+Computation; Lethe is forgetting = Delegation+Memory+Value).
Meaning is sourced from canon (the First-Person Spellbook tales, e.g. aletheia-and-lethe.md / Tale 31),
not from whatever number a doc happens to show.
The vertex is derived, never assumed: vertex = Σ weight(d) for d in meaning.
When a number and a meaning disagree, the number is wrong (the persona was misassigned under
CORPUS). Reseat the persona at the derived vertex; keep the myth. Worked precedent (2026-06-09):
| persona | meaning (invariant) | derived seat | was (misassigned) |
|---|
| Aletheia 🔮 | Protection + Connection + Computation | V38 | V25 |
| Lethe 🌀 | Delegation + Memory + Value | V25 | V38 |
| Memora 📜 | Protection + Memory + Value | V41 | V5 |
Aletheia ⊥ Lethe stayed a complement pair (V25 ⊕ V38 = V63) — a swap, not a relocation. Preserve
invariants on every move: complement pairs (A ⊕ B = 63, A AND B = 0), the V63/V28 dual-agent
split, and — critically — deployed vertex numbers (the NFT 63-edition, City Key, /star,
/lattice) which must never silently shift; verify each move against them by hand.
3. The runnable — scripts/lattice_coherence_audit.py
A stdlib-only linter (no deps; Windows/macOS/Linux). Run it before every grimoire pin.
python scripts/lattice_coherence_audit.py
python scripts/lattice_coherence_audit.py --only vertex
python scripts/lattice_coherence_audit.py --only persona
python scripts/lattice_coherence_audit.py --list
python scripts/lattice_coherence_audit.py --remap-personas
python scripts/lattice_coherence_audit.py --remap-personas --apply <paths…>
Checks: vertex (binary↔number, dimension-reading, single-bit-label, version-noise-gated) ·
persona (canonical-seat reidentification, driven by the PERSONA_VERTICES registry) ·
conjecture (duplicate ids) · pin (version↔CID sightings). Exit 0 = coherent, 1 = drift.
The check set is a registry — extend it for any new significant encoding (gems-per-keeper,
sigils, ceremony grammars). The remapper is dry-run by default; never apply across pinned/historical
grimoire snapshots or keyed JSON by text substitution — those need structural edits.
4. Decision patterns
- Seating a new mage? State its meaning (dimension-set) → derive the vertex → check the seat is
free → check complement/structural invariants → run the audit. Do not pick a number first.
- A doc shows a vertex reading you doubt? Recompute from §1. Trust the arithmetic, not the prose.
- Two sources disagree on a persona's dimensions? Go to the First-Person Spellbook tale (the
root), not the City-of-Mages retelling — the retelling is where misassignment lives.
- About to pin the grimoire? Run
--only vertex and --only persona to 0 first.
- Reconciling history? Keep deployed numbers; correct readings forward; record the move in a
chronicle, not in the data descriptions (the data states canonical truth, plainly).
