Summary

Adds substrate.executive — the resistance band made operational as a decision engine.

What's included

  • Two named lenses on one utilization value (never a name collision):
    • LoadZone — the load lens: IDLE / RECREATION / WORK / PEAKING / WARNING / DANGER on the symmetric φ-conjugate ladder (1/3 · 1/φ² · 0.50 · 1/φ · 2/3, mirror-symmetric about the 0.50 pivot).
    • CyclePhase — the cycle lens: ASCENDING / PIVOT / PAST_PIVOT over the 24-step work span.
    • classify_load_zone / classify_cycle_phase. Levels are geometric; consequences are temporal — there is no spike-tolerance field on the profile (that belongs to the SustainedLoadTracker), so nothing can desync.
  • BandProfile — structurally validated (R1 ordering · R2 φ-anchors · R3 conjugate sum · R4 symmetry · R5 RESISTANCE tighten-only). The numbers within are free; the structure is invariant.
  • Quantity / Cycle / ResourceKind + setpoint_for — the discipline that keeps "what percentage is this and what does it mean" precise (RESISTANCE 1/3…1/φ² vs WORK 1/φ²…0.50; GROWTH is not a decision band).
  • order_index / negentropy — the order-from-disorder emergence metric (1 − normalised Shannon entropy + its trend over time).
  • observed_graph (detect_extraction) — the substrate calculus over an observed relationship graph: flags entities whose short-cycle takings exceed their long-cycle givings (the predator/parasite signature) and their complement (net long-cycle supporters).

Reuses the existing resistance_band anchors + ZoneClassification (wire-compatible projection). Lifted into the top-level substrate namespace.

Verification

39 conformance tests; pyright clean; pylint 10.00.

The resistance band made operational — the public mirror of the executive layer.

- Two named lenses on one utilization value (never a name collision):
  LoadZone (load lens — IDLE/RECREATION/WORK/PEAKING/WARNING/DANGER on the
  symmetric φ-conjugate ladder, mirror-symmetric about the 0.50 pivot) and
  CyclePhase (cycle lens — ASCENDING/PIVOT/PAST_PIVOT over the 24-step work span),
  with classify_load_zone / classify_cycle_phase. Levels are geometric; the
  pivot/damage consequences are temporal (the SustainedLoadTracker's job) — there
  is NO spike-tolerance field on the profile, so nothing to desync.
- BandProfile: structurally validated (R1 ordering, R2 φ-anchors, R3 conjugate
  sum, R4 symmetry, R5 RESISTANCE tighten-only) — the numbers within are free, the
  structure is invariant.
- Quantity / Cycle / ResourceKind + setpoint_for: the discipline that keeps "what
  percentage is this and what does it mean" precise (RESISTANCE 1/3…1/φ² vs WORK
  1/φ²…0.50; GROWTH is not a decision band).
- order_index / negentropy: the order-from-disorder emergence metric (1 −
  normalised Shannon entropy + its trend over time).

Reuses the existing resistance_band anchors + ZoneClassification (wire-compat
projection). Lifted into the top-level substrate namespace. 29 conformance tests;
pyright clean; pylint 10.00.

The observed-graph twin of a deliberation engine: runs the substrate calculus over
an OBSERVED graph of relationships between other entities (not the system's own
candidate actions). Each NpgEdge carries an NPG sign (work done on the target) + a
Cycle (SHORT one-off vs LONG sustained); detect_extraction flags entities whose
short-cycle takings exceed their long-cycle givings (the predator/parasite
signature) and their complement (net long-cycle supporters). One query finds the
predator, the complement finds the supported. 10 conformance tests; pyright clean;
pylint 10.00.
