- L
- persistence score from alive population, energy, role diversity, and environmental mass. It is a bounded measurement cue, not proof of biological life.
- U / D
- unified coupling and delayed coupling. U combines breath, guidance, flow, environment bridge, and deltaC bridge; D emphasizes delayed flow/environment coupling.
- G / B / F
- guidance, breath, and flow coupling. They show which subsystem currently contributes to persistence regulation.
- V / A / C / M / P
- valence, arousal, control, mood, and precision of Persistence Affect. These are sustainability readouts, not human emotion labels.
- T
- dominant tendency among assimilate, excrete, conserve, explore, and cohere.
- Psychoacoustic Terrain
- read-only observer for the sound generated from internal state. H/R/C/D remain the audit numbers; the compact Plain line reads them as grouped, grainy, easy to follow, or tense. It is separate from Life Kernel and does not act as an external field or survival resource.
- Preference State Label
- Like or forehead-petting marks the current internal state vector that produced the heard sound. It is a bounded recent-label observer, not direct audio control, archive, survival objective, or proof of biological memory.
- Liked Flow Objective
- read-only research observer that labels a short before-and-after trajectory around Like or forehead-petting. It compares the current short flow with that liked flow while separately tracking caution signals for over-stabilization and following raw noise too closely. It does not write Life Kernel, audio, preferences, snapshots, or public scientific claims.
- Relaxation Fit Shadow
- parallel read-only research proxy. It keeps the current L unchanged and reads Viability v2, relaxation fit, preference trajectory fit, and caution risks together. It is not proof of relaxation, medical effect, biological life, or personal adaptation; it is the candidate measurement surface for later AB validation.
- Expression
- read-only projection from Persistence Affect into stableContinuation, reliefExpansion, boundaryAssertion, debtConservation, flowEase, and neutral. It changes the abstract presence animation only.
- S
- stableContinuation: a UI-only stability vector for sustained low-debt, low-variation, high-coupling continuation. It is not proof of biological mood.
- Gaze marker
- gazeX/gazeY, eyeOpen, pupilFocus, browTension, continuationSmile, maintenanceStrain, and expressivity make the projection easier to read in the renderer. They are display cues only and do not feed back into Life Kernel, sound, or scientific claims.
- Ximön Visual Grammar
- display-only grammar for membrane tension, core glow, sensor aperture, gaze vector, field coherence, ripple resonance, and character presence. Close sensor eyes, large pupils, soft short brows, cheeks, and a single-source mouth are renderer-local face parts for reading the self-maintenance vector.
- Canonical Functionalism
- read-only near-future role profile. It uses the latest kernel, Persistence Affect, expression, psychoacoustic readout, and short summary cues to show how the current state may behave under five fixed scenarios. It is a finite, coarse approximation and does not prove consciousness.
- Criticality Allostasis
- research-only lane for automatic setpoint adjustment. Public default remains off. Shadow preview shows the proposed target direction without writing the internal target; lab_active is allowed only in lab/research profiles. The caution is interpretive, not physical-device danger: active adjustment can make a number look better because the controller pushed the internal target, so compare it with Off and Shadow and keep it separate from Life Kernel scientific claims.
- Presence
- visual renderer inputs: organism vitality, particle motion, lambda, entropy, reserve, Self-maintenance Expression, and Ximön Visual Grammar. It does not feed back into Life Kernel or sound.
