bigmerge 4bbfdcceff Add native audio/image efferent surfaces + projector proof-of-shape
audio-surface.el / image-surface.el: own-core additive-synthesis WAV and
raster-PNG renderers (integer-only DSP, since EL has no floats), rendered
from learned engram signatures via a pluggable surface-profile
abstraction (surface-profile.el). audio-demo.el / image-demo.el are
drivers. NOTE: demo files hardcode absolute paths to this worktree's own
directory — will need a path fixup before landing.

elp/projector/ is a Python package the author's own README marks as
"STAGING/PROOF-OF-SHAPE — not the deliverable", superseded by the native
.el surface-profile work above; kept as a validated architecture proof.
Generated output (elp/faculty/{out,sig}, elp/projector/out,
__pycache__) intentionally excluded.

Raw Blame History

STATUS: STAGING / PROOF-OF-SHAPE — not the deliverable. This Python package proved the architecture end-to-end against the proven realizer faculty (faithful md/docx/midi from real geometry: 0 ungrounded claims, SACRED polarity). Per Will's steer, the DELIVERABLE is NATIVE: the seam lives on the existing EL realizer as surface-as-profile — see ../src/surface-profile.el and ../tests/examples/surface-profile-demo.el (compiles + runs through elc → C → binary). The concepts below (one geometry-carrying frame; surface = a pluggable profile; plan/realize; deterministic-from-meaning) are exactly what the native module implements. Keep this package as the validated proof; build native.

Efferent Multimodal Projector

geometry → any surface, faithfully. Neuron's own document-generation faculty: the efferent twin of the ingest organ. Ingest is afferent (world → geometry); this is efferent (geometry → an arbitrary-format document / any modality).

Built against the proven realizer faculty (neuron-talk sidecar :8756, artifact art-7affa557). The live soul (:8742 / :7770) is contacted only through the read-only, GET-only engram_client — never mutated.

The pipeline (surface-agnostic)

geometry region + surface/format spec
    → PLAN     (manifold → document skeleton/DAG; the geometry IS the outline)   plan.py
    → REALIZE  (proven realizer, scaled sentence → passage, each section faithful) realize.py
    → COHERE   (document-level flow / transitions, not stitched sentences)        cohere.py
    → EMIT     (pluggable SurfaceProjector → the target surface)          projectors/

The surface is a PARAMETER. pipeline.build_ir(...) builds ONE surface-neutral DocumentIR (document_ir.py); pipeline.emit(doc, surface) projects it to whichever surface you name. Markdown, docx, and MIDI are the same IR emitted three ways.

The pivot: a geometry-carrying IR

DocumentIR is not a text tree. Every Block carries BOTH:

  • .sentences — realized faithful text (what text projectors read),
  • .provenance — the source geometry: subj_id / relation / obj / polarity / confidence / importance / salience / node_id (what music / image / video projectors read).

That single decision is what makes the projector multimodal: text renders the words; music/image decode the geometry. A claim with no provenance cannot exist in the IR — faithfulness is structural.

The one shared seam

projectors/base.pySurfaceProjector.project(frame: DocumentIR) -> bytes (+ surface / media_type / ext / modality / profile). Register with register(). Adding a surface changes nothing upstream.

TwoStageProjector blesses the peer plan/realize decomposition: spec = plan(frame), bytes = realize(spec), project = realize∘plan; the profile is the pluggable per-surface knob (text lang-profile, music instr/mode-profile). projectors/midi.py is the reference two-stage impl.

Surfaces

surface modality status emitter
markdown text landed own (str)
docx text landed own minimal OOXML (stdlib zipfile+XML, no lib)
midi audio landed (symbolic-music proof) own minimal SMF (stdlib struct, no lib)
audio (WAV) audio peer agent (additive synth) conforms to TwoStageProjector
image image documented seam projectors/seams.py
video video documented seam (image×sound×time) projectors/seams.py

Music maps: relation → scale degree (same relation → same pitch), polarity → major/minor third (SACRED negation is audible), confidence → duration, importance → velocity, section → register. Deterministic projection from meaning — nothing invented.

Faithfulness

provenance.py audits the IR: zero ungrounded claims, SACRED polarity preserved (negations reported, never dropped), COHERE introduces no new geometry (connectives are marked). trace_table() emits the geometry → section → claim table.

# writes ./out/{neuron-self,engram-temporal}.{md,docx,mid} + *.audit.json + *.provenance.md

Requires the proven realizer env (spaCy + the neuron-talk/lang-realizers engine) and the read-only engram at :8742.
