CSR Lifecycle Specification

Birth → Cognitive Activation → Memory Consolidation

Digital DNA exists to ensure that every CSR follows a predictable, traceable, and immunologically safe lifecycle across the planes of cognition.

A CSR’s lifecycle has three mandatory stages:

Birth (Data-Plane)
Cognitive Activation (Reasoning-Plane)
Memory Consolidation (Outcome-Plane)

Each stage has strict rules governing:

mutation
vaccine behavior
sovereignty
eligibility for advancement
interaction with the Cognitive Fabric

This specification is normative.

Digital DNA ensures safe transitions across these planes.

21. Stage 1: Birth (Data-Plane)

The Data-Plane is where the CSR is created, normalized, and assigned its immutable genotype.

21.1 Birth Requirements

Every newly created CSR MUST:

Define all 7 sensory glyphs using the sovereign dialect.
Compute a valid glyph_hash.
Generate a valid manifold_code.
Compute a valid birth_crc.
Select a valid mutation_class.
Select a valid vaccine_class.
Bind to the Digital-Entity’s sovereign keys.

A CSR that fails any of these MUST NOT proceed to reasoning.

21.2 Birth Sources

A CSR MAY be born from:

structured data extraction
document ingestion
human annotation
sensor input
event logs
transactional data
policy objects
external RAG sources

The extraction source MUST NOT alter Digital DNA after birth.

21.3 Birth Constraints

Digital DNA MUST be immutable from this point forward.
All immunological fields MUST be set before cognitive activation.
Mutation class CANNOT be changed in later planes.
Vaccine class MAY be upgraded (but never downgraded).

21.4 Birth Integrity Validation

Prior to leaving the Data-Plane, the CSR MUST pass:

genotype validation
CRC validation
manifold validation
dialect validation
sovereignty validation

Invalid CSRs MUST be destroyed before entering reasoning.

22. Stage 2: Cognitive Activation (Reasoning-Plane)

Once a CSR enters the reasoning-plane, it is activated as part of a cognitive process.

During this stage, the CSR develops its phenotype—the accumulation of derived cognition, context, interpretations, causal inferences, embeddings, and relational knowledge.

22.1 Phenotype Accumulation Rules

A CSR MAY accumulate:

semantic expansions
causal chains
graph relationships
derived embeddings
interpretive metadata
contextual layers
human annotations
confidence signals
reasoning traces

But MUST NOT modify:

the digital_dna object
original extracted content
any immutable fields

The phenotype is separate from the genotype.

22.2 Cognitive Activation Preconditions

A CSR MAY enter the Reasoning-Plane only if:

genotype validation passes
vaccine checks pass
mutation class allows reasoning
sovereignty is intact
manifold is stable
firebreak conditions are not active

22.3 Cognitive Interaction Rules

During reasoning, a CSR:

MAY interact with other CSRs in the same sovereignty domain
MUST NOT interact across tenants unless explicitly permitted
MUST propagate its vaccine class to any derived reasoning outputs
MUST evaluate incoming signals using its immunity profile

22.4 Phenotypic Mutation Rules

Mutation class determines allowed phenotype changes:

M0: No phenotype accumulation permitted
M1: Reasoning-plane phenotype allowed
M2: Phenotype may extend for memory consolidation
M3: Delegated rules (external policy)

22.5 Drift & Discordance Detection

Reasoning systems MUST run:

manifold drift checks
sense concordance checks
intent consistency checks
tone polarity checks
hierarchical alignment checks

Any violation triggers:

quarantine
phenotype rollback
firebreak activation (see §18)
memory ineligibility

22.6 Phenotype ↔ Digital DNA Coherence

The reasoning-plane MUST continuously validate that phenotype remains consistent with genotype:

phenotype_concordance = f(sense_glyphs, manifold_code, semantic-logits)

If phenotype deviates beyond policy thresholds:

phenotype MUST be suppressed
CSR MAY be quarantined
reasoning MUST halt

23. Stage 3: Memory Consolidation (Outcome-Plane)

The Outcome-Plane stores long-term memory within the Cognitive Fabric.

A CSR MUST NOT enter this plane unless fully validated.

23.1 Memory Eligibility Requirements

A CSR MUST satisfy:

Valid Digital DNA
Valid phenotype (no unresolved anomalies)
No quarantine status
Vaccine class V3 or V4
Stable manifold (no drift beyond threshold)
Sovereign compliance
Mutation class (M2 or M3) permitting consolidation

A CSR passing these rules becomes eligible for long-term memory.

23.2 Memory Consolidation Behavior

When a CSR is accepted into the Outcome-Plane:

its phenotype becomes immutable
it forms part of the Knowledge Corpus
it becomes available for retrieval and reasoning
its sovereignty and vaccine class propagate into the Cognitive Fabric
derived knowledge inherits Digital DNA identifiers

23.3 Memory Stability Guarantees

Outcome-Plane memory MUST:

resist poisoning
reject drift or mutation
maintain lineage
bind all entries to sovereign DNA
treat memory manipulation as a critical violation

23.4 Memory Withdrawal Rules

A CSR MAY be removed from long-term memory only if:

sovereign policy allows it
phenotype is deemed invalid
retrospective poison analysis demands removal
firebreak indicates contamination

Deletion MUST be logged immutably.

23.5 Memory Reinstatement

If a CSR is wrongly purged:

re-validation MUST occur
manifold reconstruction MUST match original
lineage re-binding MUST succeed

Only then MAY it return to the Outcome-Plane.

24. Lifecycle Summary Table

Plane	CSR Behavior	DNA Role	Immune Role
Data-Plane	CSR born	DNA assigned	Genotypic immunity
Reasoning-Plane	Cognition accumulates	DNA unchanged	Phenotype immunity
Outcome-Plane	Memory solidifies	DNA = identity anchor	Sovereign immunity

Digital DNA provides a thread of identity from birth through memory— binding the Cognitive Substrate to the Cognitive Fabric.
