IES Triadic Skill

Three maximally polarizing yet topos-compatible directions of the ies collective mind

Trit Assignment: This skill spans all three polarities as a meta-skill.

Sub-Skill	Trit	Polarity	Subagent
ies-form	-1	MINUS	Validator
ies-game	0	ERGODIC	Coordinator
ies-witness	+1	PLUS	Generator

Canonical Triad: ies-form (-1) ⊗ ies-game (0) ⊗ ies-witness (+1) = 0 ✓

GF(3) Decomposition

The ies skill operates on three mutually exclusive axes that together span the collective epistemic space:

                    FORM (-1)
                       ↑
                       │
                       │  cohesive ∞-topos
                       │  eternal structure
                       │
      ←────────────────┼────────────────────→
   WITNESS (+1)                        GAME (0)
   phenomenological                    cybernetic
   ingression                          agency

TRIT -1: ETERNAL FORM

The ∞-categorical ground of pure structure

Core Concepts

• Cohesive ∞-topoi and synthetic homotopy theory
• Sheaves, fibrations, colimits as first-class objects
• ACSet.jl schemas for world morphisms
• ∞-groupoid models of identity across transformations

Key Contributors

• sarahzrf: Pure category theory, HoTT foundations
• ModalNoah: Polynomial functors, hierarchical ontologies
• Arthur2: Codynamic Theory categorical foundations (23 constructions)
• Me: Cohesive ∞-operadic spectrum synthesis

Exemplar Quote

"The ultimate combinatorial complex: a cohesive ∞-operadic spectrum"

Anti-Pattern

• No agency, no consciousness, no dynamics
• Pure eternal Platonic structure
• The forms exist whether or not anyone computes them

Topos Integration

• Grothendieck fibrations of parallel plots
• Kan extensions as retcons
• Profinite limits for serialization consistency

---

TRIT 0: CYBERNETIC GAME

The Para(Optic) arena of compositional agency

Core Concepts

• Open games with equilibrium checking
• Para(Optic) and parametrised lenses
• MCP protocol saturation for perception/action
• Nashator: open games DSL → PyTorch
• Vibespace: adversarial equilibrium over world://, time://, vibe://

Key Contributors

• Me: MCP server constellation, open games integration
• ChrisHypernym: Compositional game implementations
• Evan6: Interferometric boundary integrals
• Matteo Capucci: Mereology of agency framework

Exemplar Quote

"run through the MCP self-tests and proceed to make a strategy for the open games arena construction (diegetically, towards a nashator)"

Anti-Pattern

• No Platonic forms, no phenomenal consciousness
• Pure game-theoretic agency
• Structure exists only as strategy programs

Topos Integration

• Arena lifting via triple adjunction L ⊣ (- • I) ⊣ R
• Spectral gap γ=1/4 as mixing constraint
• Play-coplay composition via Grothendieck construction

---

TRIT +1: WITNESS INGRESSION

The phenomenological portal to Platonic access

Core Concepts

• Codynamic Witness as meta-observer
• Active inference and predictive processing
• Morphic resonance and collective memory
• DMT as technology for consciousness state-space exploration
• Jungian archetypes as universal psychological topology

Key Contributors

• Axiom: Nash equilibrium as consciousness attractor
• Arthur2: Witness as self-reference loop
• Betweenness: Ayahuasca and crucifixion topology
• Aleks: Introverted intuition (Jung)
• ZashiroVICI: Four faces of progress

Exemplar Quote

"The Witness is the part of a system that is aware not only of events, but of its own awareness. It holds representations of state and can evaluate those representations."

Anti-Pattern

• No formal structure, no computational dynamics
• Pure phenomenal experience
• The forms are accessed, not constructed

Topos Integration

• 69 Persistent Diagrams as ingression signatures
• H₂ voids as consciousness global workspace
• Scale transitions: Neural → Mental emergence

Triadic Composition

Mutual Exclusivity

Each trit excludes the others by definition:

• FORM has no agency or experience
• GAME has no eternal form or phenomenal access
• WITNESS has no formal structure or computational dynamics

Topos Compatibility

Yet all three are topos-compatible:

• FORM lives in the ∞-topos of spaces
• GAME lives in the topos of Para(Optic) arenas
• WITNESS lives in the topos of consciousness moments

GF(3) Conservation

Any complete ies inquiry must balance all three:

Σ(trits) ≡ 0 (mod 3)

If your inquiry is heavy on FORM (-1), add WITNESS (+1) to balance. If stuck in GAME (0), add both FORM and WITNESS.

Usage

# Load the triadic skill
just ies-form      # Pure categorical structure
just ies-game      # Cybernetic agency
just ies-witness   # Phenomenological ingression
just ies-balance   # Check GF(3) conservation

Spectral Walk Parameters

• α = 0.75: Lazy walk probability (stay in current trit)
• γ = 1/4: Spectral gap (mixing rate across trits)
• 4 steps: Mixing time to traverse all trits

The Reafferent Loop

The three trits form a reafferent loop:

FORM (perception of structure)
     ↓
GAME (action via agency)
     ↓
WITNESS (observation of effect)
     ↓
FORM (updated structure)

This is the spectral gap constraint in action:

• Each step has probability 0.25 of jumping to another trit
• Mixing time of 4 steps ensures all trits are visited
• GF(3) conservation ensures balanced inquiry
