Basic Memory v0.21.6 first sync over the live memory dir (steward-authorized live-dir trial, Option A 2026-06-06): adds permalink: to frontmatter, refolds long YAML description lines, strips final newlines. Bodies untouched — verified via full diff classification. From this commit forward, any diff in claude/memory shows only what Basic Memory or the session writes. Trial design: MemPalace untouched as incumbent; git status check on this dir at every wrap; end-of-day evaluation (recall quality, sync robustness, rebuild-from-files, malformed-file behavior).

Relational Gap Analysis — Working State
Status: COMPLETE. Cluster A (I15/I16/I17) all AUTHORIZED. AF-7 CLOSED by ICP-19. Cluster B parked.
The Problem
Domain C (Knowledge Relationship) of the Seven-Root Braid was structurally under-specified: 2 strands, 2 invariants, where Domains A and B had 3 strands and 5-6 invariants each. Three gaps identified: accountability to present interlocutors (A), power asymmetry as governance input (B), cross-domain relational load (C).
What's Done (complete trail)
Step 1-2: Targeted Extractions (5/5 Tier 1 complete)
00__harrison-vico-targeted-extraction.md→ CP-1 through CP-401__leopardi-targeted-extraction.md→ CP-5 through CP-802__levinas-targeted-extraction.md→ CP-9 through CP-1303__fricker-targeted-extraction.md→ CP-14 through CP-20 (7 new CPs; Spanish source text)04__oneill-targeted-extraction.md→ ONE-CP-1 through ONE-CP-5- All in:
CapableMind-AI/docs/thinking/David/l2-constitution/archive/relational-gap-analysis/ - Tier 2 (Freire, Noddings) and Tier 3 deferred — Tier 1 coverage sufficient for integration
Step 3: Cross-Source Integration
05__cross-source-integration.md— consolidates 25 CPs into 18 integrated candidate principles (ICPs)- Roman strand extraction (
archive/braid-extractions/8_roman/) included as sixth source for corroboration + failure-mode vocabulary - 6 Tier 1, 7 Tier 2, 5 Tier 3 principles
- Gap A: substantially closed (Levinas + Fricker + O'Neill converge)
- Gap B: substantially closed (all five sources converge)
- Gap C: advanced but thinnest — Noddings (Tier 2) would strengthen if needed
- New gap identified: Gap F (Interpretive Drift as Governance Risk)
Step 4: Adversarial Review
06__adversarial-review.md— stress-tested all 18 ICPs- 2 survive clean (ICP-1 Asymmetry Obligation, ICP-5 Non-Reciprocity)
- 3 survive with modification (ICP-2, ICP-3, ICP-6)
- 1 demoted from Tier 1 (ICP-4 Barbarism-of-Reflection → named failure mode)
- 1 promoted to Tier 1 (ICP-9 Accusative Default)
- 7 novel adversarial findings (AF-1 through AF-7)
- Most dangerous: AF-1 (Self-Confirming Model Loop), AF-3 (Late-Republican Failure Pattern)
- Critical gap: AF-7 — corpus lacks mandated external review mechanism
Step 5: Registry Amendment → Cluster A → ICP-19 (COMPLETE)
- I15 (Accusative Default) AUTHORIZED 2026-03-23 as pilot entry (REVIEWED-11)
- I16 (Asymmetry Obligation) AUTHORIZED 2026-03-28 (REVIEWED-16)
- I17 (Precedence of Present Expression) AUTHORIZED 2026-03-28 (REVIEWED-15)
- ICP-19 (Mandated External Review) AUTHORIZED 2026-03-28 — closes AF-7 (REVIEWED-17)

David's Prioritization (Cluster A → Cluster B)
Cluster A — Advance First
- I15/ICP-9 (Accusative Default) — posture foundation, most upstream, cleanest
- ICP-1 (Asymmetry Obligation) — most load-bearing, concrete modification path
- ICP-2 (Precedence of Present Expression) — live L1 risk (AF-1 already operative)
Cluster B — Advance Second
- ICP-5 (Non-Reciprocity) — after schema settled
- ICP-3 (Contestability) — after AF-5 tension resolved
- ICP-6 (Assessability) — in dialogue with ICP-17 design
Parallel Track — CLOSED
- AF-7/C-R2 (Mandated External Review) — AUTHORIZED as ICP-19. First review cycle COMPLETE (2026-04-01). 13 findings, 9 resolved.
Key Architectural Findings
- Slow erosion (Roman anacyclosis/interpretive drift) is more threatening than single-bypass across the board
- The Late-Republican pattern: every formal check passes while relational substance drains — invisible to formal machinery
- The Self-Confirming Model Loop (AF-1): classification pipelines using accumulated models in preprocessing create closed epistemic loops — a current L1 risk, not theoretical
- The Governance Overhead Cascade (AF-2): self-referential — more principles → more mechanisms → more audit layers → more opacity
- ICP-9 reverses the typical governance model: system begins under constraint, not from neutrality
