facet: revert the axis LCP to the PEEK chain; name the three prefix-fold carriers - #1245

Conversation
Entry (16) E-FORMAT-SLOT-FOLD-IS-THE-SAME-OP-AS-THE-VL-DESCENT-1 records "loop 12.5 ns -> masked readout 5.8 ns" on 64K random pairs, and that number retired the [u8; 6] chain fold for the masked u128 shared_axis. No harness for it is committed anywhere in this tree; the sibling ndarray number in the same entry names its probe by path, and the entry's status line claims MEASURED only for the ndarray side. So the comparison was not reproducible. This makes it so. Four arms, same inputs, both axes: A the retired by-value chain fold, B a by-ref as_bytes() PEEK packed to u64, C the shipped hi_distance/lo_distance, D B with the loads shared across axes. Every arm is cross-checked against the shipped API on every workload before any timing; the shared-prefix depth knob is asserted to bind; arm A's prefix-length dependence is asserted (it is the only arm whose work varies with depth); black_box guards elision; arms are inline(never) so cargo asm / objdump can find them. Measured here (release, 64K pairs, min of 7, ns/op both axes): workload A chain_loop B peek_u64 C masked_u128 D peek_both random 1.72 4.75 3.64 5.18 depth 0 1.66 4.60 4.68 4.70 depth 5 3.50 4.88 3.56 4.50 identical 3.30 4.46 3.73 4.49 The ordering is inverted against the record, and the disassembly says why: arm A compiles to constant-offset byte loads issued lazily with early exit (movzbl 0x5(%rdi) / cmp 0x5(%rsi),%al / jne) -- LLVM never materialises the [u8; 6] and never gathers. Arm C performs those same byte loads and then reassembles them (shl/or), materialises the mask (movabs $0xff00ff00ff00ff00), splits trailing_zeros across two tzcnt with a cmove, and applies the offset correction. It is strictly more work from identical starting loads. So the "the gather dominated" premise describes code that is not generated. One machine, one toolchain; what the recorded 12.5 ns measured is still unknown, because its harness does not exist. Measurement only -- no verdict, no code change. shared_axis is untouched and its differential test stands. Board correction on entry (16), and whether to revert shared_axis, are open decisions; this commit must NOT be opened as a PR without the EPIPHANIES strike-and-append in the same commit (board-hygiene rule).

#1244 moved the per-axis LCP from an early-exit byte chain to a masked single-register readout, citing EPIPHANIES (16)'s "loop 12.5 ns -> masked 5.8 ns". On this carrier that ordering is inverted. Measured by the in-tree four-arm probe, 64K pairs, min of 7, both axes, ns/op: workload A chain PEEK B pack-u64 C masked u128 D shared loads random 1.72 4.75 3.64 5.18 depth 0 1.66 4.60 4.68 4.70 depth 5 3.50 4.88 3.56 4.50 identical 3.30 4.46 3.73 4.49 A wins at every workload; 2.1x on the entry's own workload. A's depth-0 -> depth-5 slope (+111%) is the anti-vacuity evidence that the early exit is the mechanism. Both pack-to-register arms lose: assembling six addressed bytes costs more than the compare it replaces. That prediction was wrong and the board records it as wrong. The premise "the gather dominated" is refuted by disassembly. LLVM never materializes the [u8; 6]: movzbl 0x5(%rdi),%eax ; tier 0 hi of a cmp 0x5(%rsi),%al ; straight against b's memory jne <exit> Arm C issues the same loads, then reassembles them, materializes a mask constant, runs two tzcnt + a cmove, applies the -32 offset correction, and has no early exit. Strictly more work on the same loads. Why it inverted: three carriers share one vocabulary. 1 bit-planes (mailbox_soa identity_plane_at -> &[u64]) -> mask correct 2 nibble path (NiblePath::common_prefix_depth, u64) -> mask NOT DONE 3 facet cascade(FacetCascade, 6x2x8 byte-addressed) -> PEEK this revert Masking wins when the slice is granular; PEEK wins when the slice is addressed. A measurement is a statement about (operation, carrier, workload) -- drop the carrier and it is a slogan. (16)'s 12.5 ns is plausible as a carrier-2-shaped loop, which is what common_prefix_depth still is; what is unsupportable is transferring it to carrier 3. No harness shipped with that number, so what it timed is unknown and the board says so. Changes: - facet.rs: shared_axis -> shared_axis_chain (const, by-ref, early exit). hi_distance/lo_distance take &self/&Self so the compare reaches memory directly; both stay const. - the differential test is REVERSED, not deleted: the masked form becomes masked_axis_oracle under #[cfg(test)], so the test compares shipped against oracle instead of against a restatement of itself. The prior disable-run (swap the hi/lo masks -> fail at "hi flip at tier 0") still holds. - probe arm C made self-contained so it keeps measuring the masked shape. - knowledge/three-prefix-fold-carriers.md: the doctrine, with the law, the per-carrier table, the measurements, what is NOT settled, and a falsifier. - plans/three-carrier-blast-radius-v1.md: four passes, five gates. Read-only; authorizes no code. Explicitly forbids widening FacetTier's u8:u8 to cheapen a mask -- the fold adapts to the layout, never the reverse. - ISSUES: ISS-NIBLEPATH-FOLD-IS-CARRIER-2-UNMASKED -- the real opportunity, filed as CONJECTURE and gated on its own probe, precisely because landing it on (16)'s number would be the same defect again. - EPIPHANIES (17) + a partial strike appended to (16). (16)'s -f naming, shared_prefix_tiles, the -32 note, the 23-site count and the whole ndarray ternlogq descent half stand unchanged -- that half is a different carrier, measured on its own. hi_distance/lo_distance have zero callers in this tree, so the revert is near-zero-risk and neither form's performance was observed by anything shipping. 1425 contract tests green; clippy clean. cargo check on lance-graph fails in lance-encoding's build script (protoc absent in this container) -- pre-existing and untouched by a zero-dep crate.

Two Codex P2 findings on #1245, both correct: - check_arms_agree ran over pairs[..256] while the probe's doc promised every generated pair is cross-checked before timing. Now the whole slice: 65,536 pairs x 8 workloads x 4 arms, all against the shipped API. Costs ~0.2 s; the promise is now true. - The depth-0 -> depth-5 slope check printed a warning and exited 0 when it failed -- exactly the condition the probe says invalidates every row above it. It is now an assert!: a flat slope fails the process so an inattentive run cannot bank a meaningless table. Re-run: oracle green on every workload; slope +83.7% (1.81 -> 3.32 ns); ordering unchanged (A 1.83 / C 3.95 on random). fmt + clippy clean.

The revert in b08db9b shipped a semantically equivalent chain fold (by-ref, tiers[n] indexed, bool axis selector) rather than the code #1242 replaced. The probe's arm A is the ORIGINAL shared6 verbatim, so the 1.72 ns measurement belonged to the original, not to what was shipped. Restored byte-for-byte from 95e2863^: const fn shared6(a: [u8; 6], b: [u8; 6]) -> u8 pub const fn hi_distance(self, other: Self) -> u8 // by-value again pub const fn lo_distance(self, other: Self) -> u8 Verified identical by diff against that commit. This also undoes the unintended public-signature change (&self/&Self -> self/Self), so the API is exactly what it was before #1242. The inverted test oracle and the doc comment stay; probe's shipped-reference call sites follow. 1425 tests green; fmt + clippy clean; probe: oracle green on every workload, A 1.83 / C 3.95 on random, slope +80.9%.

Keep the carrier-2 mask classification provisional.
The carrier table already labels masking as ✗ opportunity, and the issue body states that the rewrite is CONJECTURE until probed. Replace “genuinely wants a mask” in the issue title with provisional wording such as “may benefit from a mask.” No change is needed to the carrier-table or conjecture wording.

Align the benchmark interpretation with the measured table.
The table shows that B is slowest only for depths 1, 2, 3, and 5. D is slower for random, depth 0, depth 4, and identical. The document reports run-to-run spread but defines no rule for calling results a tie. Therefore, the 3.56 versus 3.50 and 3.73 versus 3.30 results should not be described as ties without such a rule. Rewrite the interpretation to match the row-by-row ordering, or define and apply an explicit tie criterion.

Run Arm A through the shipped distance API.
FacetCascade::hi_distance and lo_distance call the shipped shared6 fold. Arm A instead calls hi_chain and lo_chain, then runs a separate local loop. Its timing therefore does not establish the shipped implementation's performance. Arm C also uses a local masked u128 fold; it is not the shipped implementation. Label Arm C as the retained masked oracle.
Update the facet.rs documentation so it states that Arm A calls the shipped distance methods, rather than claiming both paths are one function. The conversion below is correct because each distance is 6 - shared_prefix.

Post-merge hygiene for the facet PEEK-chain revert. Hygiene-only: adds no type, plan, deliverable or epiphany, so per the termination clause it generates no arc entry of its own. Supersession index regenerated last, unchanged; citation-decay 0 new. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01HScwwezRdMxFfTs3WLG19d

…ected Operator doctrine: byte-agnosticism is the STORAGE superpower, little-endian is the COMPUTE superpower, and they must stay distinct. This lands the one site in the tree that mixed them. NodeRow is #[repr(C, align(64))] and as_le_bytes() reinterprets &[NodeRow] -> &[u8] for Lance, so the row's in-memory image IS its stored image. `edges` was a FacetCascade, whose facet_classid is a native-endian u32 -- a STORED PROJECTION, which is the only shape this failure ever takes. #1246 held that seam shut with a target_endian assert; this replaces the stopgap with the structure. Added EdgeFacet([u8; 16]), #[repr(C, align(16))] -- the exact mirror of NodeGuid -- with as_bytes / as_bytes_mut / from_bytes / to_bytes / facet() and From/Into against FacetCascade. `pub type EdgeBlock = EdgeFacet` keeps every call site compiling. All three NodeRow fields are now byte arrays, so the 512 bytes contain no native-endian integer at all and as_le_bytes is byte-identical across targets by construction rather than by assertion. The change did not impose the doctrine, it ratified what the code already did. Census, read not grepped: every EdgeBlock site is default() / as_bytes() / as_bytes_mut() / from_bytes() / equality / Copy, and every struct-literal and every .facet_classid / .tiers read is on a PROJECTED facet -- not one is a field access on NodeRow::edges, because #1246 had already moved them all to bytes. The two real consumers (symbiont key_render, soa_graph) read eb.as_bytes()[..12] / [12..] and are untouched. Two of three facet sites already obeyed the doctrine before it was written down: NodeGuid stores bytes and projects; AttentionFocusFacet holds the typed facet but is not repr(C), is no SoaEnvelope, and reaches bytes only through the explicit to_bytes() encode. CORRECTION to #1246's arc entry and PR body, which both said this would "retire the target_endian guard entirely": wrong, and the code said so. FacetCascade::as_bytes is still a reinterpret BY DESIGN -- that reinterpret is the 1.72 ns byte-chain LCP hot path (#1245's probe) -- so the reinterpret==encode identity is still assumed and the guard stays. What changed is its blast radius: it now protects a value in flight, never a row at rest. Its comment is rewritten to say that, not deleted. Both SAFETY comments in canonical_node.rs corrected in place; one ended by asserting EdgeBlock was "the one field that is not" a byte array -- true when written, false now, struck rather than silently reworded. Falsifier asserts BOTH superpowers in one test: stored bytes verbatim (endian-free) AND facet().facet_classid decoding 0xDEAD_BEEF little-endian. Disable-run red-then-green -- byte-swapping the first four bytes in from_bytes fails it on "stored bytes are verbatim"; restore passes. Files were backed up to the scratchpad rather than trusting `git checkout`, since the work was uncommitted (the ruff commit-before-you-disable trap). Board: EPIPHANIES E-BYTES-ARE-STORED-INTEGERS-ARE-PROJECTED-1 (doctrine, census, the reusable pattern, and the correction above); LATEST_STATE contract-inventory delta. Supersession index regenerated after the board writes -- byte-identical. 1356 contract tests green; weather-poc 40 green; planner builds; clippy clean under -D warnings; fmt clean. Workspace-wide build is blocked in this container by a missing protoc in the lance build chain, unrelated to this diff -- CI covers it.

…the same day it was proposed
THE LAW, operator-stated: zero-copy is not an optimization of the fold, it is
part of the DEFINITION of a fold. A fold reads canonical state in place and
returns a compact consequence; if it copies or materializes the source
population, it is not a fold.
Definitional caveat so the law cannot be argued away: zero-copy means no
SOFTWARE-LEVEL materialization, duplication, re-encoding, or retained derived
population. CPU loads into registers and cache lines obviously still happen and
are not a second representation.
Six invariants, stated so they cannot be softened by degrees: source bytes are
never copied by a fold; source layout is never rewritten; a fold does not retain
an execution view; a fold may emit only answer-sized or focus-sized state;
population-sized output is materialization, not folding; replay is repeated
zero-copy folding over pinned canonical state. Corollary: the moment an
operation needs to materialize population state, the fold has ended.
This does not forbid materialization. It forbids materialization HIDING under
the word fold -- an index build, a projection cache, a publication are all
legitimate and each must be named honestly and priced. Seam B is the cleanest
example: Pred::Range emits a population-sized mask, so the executor's range path
is materialization wearing a fold's name.
RETRACTED, same arc, same day: AttestedPlanes<'a> as an architectural carrier.
It was proposed hours earlier here as the "preferred, strongest" shape for
closing Seam A. It smuggled Rust's ownership vocabulary into the semantic model
and made a zero-copy peek sound like a persistent execution object. The
implementation does receive something spelled &[u8]/&[u64] while the
instructions run -- that is memory-safety syntax with a ~20 ns lifetime, and
promoting it to a named aggregate builds exactly the intermediary the substrate
exists to avoid.
WRONG storage -> construct execution view -> attest it -> carry it -> fold
RIGHT pinned canonical version -> verify the address/order contract
-> PEEK zero-copy -> fold
The attestation belongs to the address/order RELATIONSHIP, not to a transient
aggregate of the planes. So W1's proof obligation sharpens from "these borrowed
slices belong together" to: ordinal i under this witnessed semantic order
resolves to the same canonical row i that every subsequent operation peeks. Once
that holds, every fold peeks whatever canonical column it needs at ordinal i and
there is no execution assembly at all -- every operation is fold(peek(...)).
Verified before accepting the census framing: SealedFacetLane is
{ keys: Vec<FacetCascade>, witness } (ordered_lane.rs:180) -- facet keys and
nothing else, no NodeGuid sequence, no mask planes, no value lanes. The
aggregate AttestedPlanes would have borrowed from does not exist.
W1 consequently gets SMALLER, not harder. Its census question is now: where does
ordinal -> canonical-row resolution happen today, and is it the same resolution
every peek uses? One resolution => verify the contract once against the pinned
version, then peek freely. Several, or one nobody re-checks => that IS Seam A's
depth, and finding it is the deliverable. Do not invent a sealed row image to
satisfy the plan.
Replay collapses too: "reconstruct fresh AttestedPlanes" was one abstraction too
many. Replay reacquires the pinned canonical version and runs the same peeks and
folds. A ReplaySpec holds no reference tied to any lifetime -- only owned names.
The falsifier loses a step and keeps its force: produce a ReplaySpec, drop every
execution object and transient view, re-open from ReplaySpec identities alone,
peek and fold, bit-identical.
THE ECONOMICS behind all of it: if thinking again is cheaper than remembering
the answer, think again. Never retain derived execution state merely to avoid
replay when stacked-fold replay is cheaper than maintaining it. Retain for
exactly two reasons -- economic (C_retain < C_replay) or semantic (it crossed the
Rubicon and must become history/evidence/state). The order-of-magnitude
argument (a ~10 us sweep is ~5,900 fold-equivalents, ~six 1000-fold chains on one
lane) is labelled CONJECTURE: #1245's 1.7 ns does not transfer to a whole-facet
cell per #1250, so the shape holds and the constant does not. W6 measures it.
AT 64K THIS STOPS BEING TUNING. If every dormant thought preserved a view, 64K
thoughts would mean 64K execution views, lifetime machinery and coherence
sweeps. Instead: wake thought 18,721 -> peek -> fold -> fold -> fold -> answer
-> vanish. The canonical SoA is the lake; a thought does not carry a bucket of
water around in case it wants to drink later. Scheduler law: no dormant thought
may consume sweep cost merely to remain current, and a sweep's cost is measured
in fold-equivalents. Sharing a THOUGHT (a replayable operator rebound to the
recipient's context) beats sharing a RESULT. A scheduler that spends more time
keeping thoughts current than it would spend thinking them again has inverted
the substrate.

What
Reverses the facet per-axis LCP change from #1242–#1244 — the
u128masked readout goes back to the early-exit byte chain (the PowerShell-fpositional fold: six named addresses, no gather) — and records why it inverted: the workspace has three prefix-fold carriers sharing one vocabulary, and a result measured on one was shipped into another.The restored code is byte-identical to the pre-#1242
shared6(95e28637^, verified by diff), including the by-valuehi_distance(self, other: Self)signature — so the public API is exactly what it was before the change. The probe's arm A and the shipped path are one function.Commits:
a7142348—examples/facet_axis_lcp_probe.rs: four-arm benchmark (chain PEEK / pack-to-u64/ maskedu128/ shared-load PEEK), 64K pairs, min-of-7, oracle-first, anti-vacuity gates. Zero-dep.b08db9b7— the revert + doctrine + board hygiene.5984e852— board gates: D-ids renamed toD-TCF-*(the pattern needs two letters first); twoISSUES.mdcitations moved to stable symbol anchors percitation-decay.c3de1d2e— Codex P2s: oracle over every pair (was 256 of 65,536); anti-vacuity slope check is anassert!(was a warning that exited 0).6e79c784— restoreshared6verbatim rather than the semantically-equivalent respellingb08db9b7shipped.Measured (both axes, ns/op)
Chain wins at every workload; 2.1× on EPIPHANIES (16)'s own workload — the opposite of the "12.5 → 5.8 ns" that entry recorded. A's depth-0→5 slope (+111%; +81–84% on re-runs) is the anti-vacuity evidence that the early exit is the mechanism. Both pack-to-register arms lose; that prediction was mine and was wrong.
"The gather dominated" is refuted by disassembly — LLVM never materializes the
[u8; 6]:Arm C issues the same loads, then reassembles them, materializes a mask constant, runs two
