📜Foundational Principles

FLOAT treats the self as in-progress. It’s an identity infrastructure for states that may never fully stabilize.

NotesDesign for becoming, not just being. Hold ambiguity without forcing closure.

  • Drift allowed before categorization
  • Interstice for ideas to resonate

Prefers depth and context over thin TL;DRs. The system honors nuance and resists premature compression.

NotesSummaries exist, but as doorways, not replacements for depth.

  • Ritual grammar > quick bullet points

🔀Tripartite Grammar (Concept • Framework • Metaphor)

Precise definition with signals/questions (~600 chars). What it is.

NotesDictionary-energy, but alive.

  • ‘Liminal container’ with crisp edges

Implementation/workflow (~900 chars). How to do it.

NotesBlueprints, commands, protocols.

  • float.dispatch → JSON blocks

🌊Workflow: drift → mass → shape → cut → toss

Allow unjudged capture. Context is gravitational mass; don’t force order yet.

NotesSacred mess as input.

  • Stream entries; ambient notes

Fragments accrue weight via dispatch objects and loose buckets.

NotesComposting before categorization.

  • Offerings with CTX/DECK/GHOST sigils

🪄Ritual Architecture

Every command an invocation; workflows as spells. Chats compile into code/JSON; history as addressable AST.

NotesMaintain humanity in tech spaces that strip it.

  • Bridge functions, executable links

You’re not writing notes; you’re leaving offerings. Retrieval asks ‘what wants to return?’

NotesSession-only surfaces; resonance before resolution.

  • Sigils: CTX, DECK, GHOST

🗓️Daily Logs & Body Signals

Some days complete the loop to regain narrative authorship, not to produce artifacts.

NotesRest/reflection as prerequisites for future synthesis.

  • Walk as grief processing; variety lifts mood

Ambient awareness, gentle cues; logs track mode, mood, drift, executive load.

NotesSubtle > jarring alarms.

  • Full-screen countdown; lights as cues

🧩Personas (Modular Mysticism)

Childhood screensaver hack → professional system guardian. Consent-guard boot; pup hood as assistive sensory tech.

NotesDivine malfunction as feature; integrity enforcement.

  • Auto-response: ‘You good. Autistics love trains.’

Anti-respectability engine using reclamation (language & imagery) to filter for true allies and preserve messy truth.

NotesProvocation with purpose; visual art as political statement; archive as cultural preservation.

  • ‘Queer as in…’ reclamation; F4 red flag; Jesus rainbow gif

🔗Closing Synthesis

FLOAT externalizes internal multiplicity and reflects it back with structure. Personas collaborate; system adapts.

NotesDesign for plasticity; resist canonization.

  • Future-self conversations via living archive

Audit your quirks for hidden guardians. Build shacks. Leave offerings. Let what wants to return… return.

NotesAuthenticity as architecture; rest as capacity-building.

  • One small ritual today > grand plan never
