SUBIT‑BU

A minimal system for stabilizing subjective state through six sensory modalities and a single XOR‑based optimization step.

Overview

SUBIT‑BU is a compact state‑regulation engine. It transforms a user’s momentary condition into a 6‑bit SUBIT‑64 state, applies one minimal optimization step, and returns a more stable state together with a single micro‑action (ACT‑1).

The system is designed to be:

• minimal
• deterministic
• structurally clean
• embodied and intuitive
• mathematically reversible

Core Components

Six Sensory Modalities

SUBIT‑BU uses six independent, body‑felt modalities:

1. Vector — orientation of attention
2. Rhythm — internal tempo
3. Structure — number of active elements in awareness
4. Action — activation vs. inertia
5. Tension — physiological arousal
6. Focus — width of attention

These six axes form a complete, minimal basis for describing subjective state.

SUBIT‑64

The six modalities map directly to a 6‑bit code:

[ s = b_5 b_4 b_3 b_2 b_1 b_0 ]

This is the SUBIT‑64 state space (0–63).

Minimal XOR Optimization

SUBIT‑BU performs exactly one optimization step:

1. Identify the highest‑order active bit (the leftmost 1).
2. Construct a mask for that bit.
3. Apply XOR:

[ s' = s \oplus m ]

This removes one unit of structural tension and produces a more stable state.

ACT‑1 (Micro‑Correction)

The changed bit determines the corrective action:

• b5 (Vector) → adjust direction of attention
• b4 (Rhythm) → adjust tempo
• b3 (Structure) → simplify by removing one element
• b2 (Action) → start or stop a micro‑action
• b1 (Tension) → reduce intensity
• b0 (Focus) → narrow or stabilize focus

Each ACT‑1 is short, actionable, and immediately performable.

Example

Input state

s = 101011₂ = 43

Highest active bit

b5

Mask

m = 100000₂

Optimization

s' = 101011 XOR 100000
    = 001011₂
    = 11

ACT‑1
