FOUR INTERFACES
The candidate package freezes boundaries, not a monolith.
Cognition
CognitionProposal carries ActionIntent plus optional structured cognitive-state references.
Somatic translation
Approved intent becomes a hardware-agnostic CapabilityPlan.
Chronon ↔ memory
Chronons remain canonical evidence; memories are rebuildable projections.
Ethos ↔ DecisionTrace
Policy evaluation and forensic ethical objects stay explicit and separately bound.
GOVERNANCE
Candidate means breakable.
Promotion requires complete schemas and normative text, explicit versioning and compatibility rules, producer/consumer conformance tests, a validated reference flow, no contradiction with the Canonical Core, an accepted governance decision and an updated machine-readable maturity state.
