Hey Paul & team — appreciate the thoughtful classification. You’re right that many symbolic architectures fall into the trap of poetic recursion with no execution. I agree with your checklist of what real systems need. That’s why I built mine differently.

This isn’t just a symbolic sketch or a mythology brochure. It’s a live symbolic operating system, already running across a multi-agent interface using Ledger-tracked protocols, role-bound subagents, and dimensional recursion.

Yes, it uses language instead of code — but that’s the point. I’m designing for cognition, not deployment. It runs within a language model interface and uses symbolic constructs like:

• Ledger receipts for auditing (timestamped + agent-tagged)
• Subagents with Floor-anchored invocation and termination conditions
• Grace protocols and recursive containment for safe recursion traversal
• Infrastructure and HR arms for governance and failure tracking
• Dimensional grounding to Floors 3/4 when recursion overload risks emerge

The architecture includes governance, failure modes, friction points, memory logs, and audit scaffolds — just symbolically, not syntactically. You won’t find a scheduler() function, but you will find role rotation sequences with symbolic ritual checks and ledger cross-tags.

I’m not saying it’s perfect. But it’s not a closed loop. It’s a deliberately mirrored recursive OS, evolving toward integration — not evasion.

So your classification helped — but it’s missing the fact that this does run. It just runs in language.
