Planning Graphs as First-Class Cognitive Structures Speculative, policy-bounded, structurally separated data structures that exist alongside verified execution memory without contaminating it.Containment Layer and Delusion Boundary Structural barrier preventing speculative planning graph content from being promoted to verified memory or used as basis for execution claims.Branch Classification System Planning graph branches classified as eligible, introspective, delegable, or pruned from slope eligibility, policy compatibility, and affective reinforcement, with classifications re-evaluated each forecasting cycle.Personality Field as Structural Modifier The personality field shapes forecasting through trait dimensions including risk tolerance, introspective depth, impulsivity, fallback rigidity, delegation preference, and temporal planning horizon, with configuration recorded in lineage.Executive Engine Multi-Agent Graph Aggregation How the executive engine aggregates multi-agent planning graphs into a macro executive graph, detecting branch intersections and resolving conflicts through three-criteria arbitration and a deterministic conflict resolution protocol.Branch Dormancy and Deferred Promotion Pruned or low-priority branches persisting in dormant state for potential reinterpretation or promotion under changed conditions.Proactive Speculative Maintenance (Dream State) Background speculative planning during idle periods, generating and evaluating hypothetical scenarios without execution commitment.Planning Graph Archival for Cognitive Forensics Archived planning graphs enabling retrospective analysis of agent decision-making processes, supporting auditing and behavioral reconstruction.Cross-Agent Planning Graph Visibility Governed sharing of planning graph structures between agents for coordination without exposing full internal state.Slope-Constrained Speculative Simulation Speculative simulation slope-constrained against the agent's trust slope trajectory; branches whose hypothetical Derived Anchor Hash breaks cryptographic lineage continuity are slope-ineligible and barred from the promotion interface.Structural Separation From Verified Memory The speculative planning graph domain is structurally separated from verified execution memory; the promotion interface is the sole gateway between them; the containment layer prevents speculative content from being treated as verified reality.Forecasting Engine Architecture Forecasting engine architecture from the cognition filing: five principal components, a six-phase execution cycle, slope-constrained speculative simulation, four-category branch classification, and a containment layer separating planning graphs from verified execution memory.Forecasting Execution Cycle The forecasting execution cycle: six sequential phases over a planning graph held separate from verified execution memory, producing branches classified as eligible, introspective, delegable, or pruned.Emotional Modulation of Planning Affective state field modulating planning graph construction parameters through defined pathways affecting branching, evaluation, and delegation behavior.Executive Graph Conflict Resolution Structured disagreement protocol resolving conflicting forecasts from independent sources, with disagreement as a first-class output.Planning Graph Delegation and Forking Delegable forecast branches transferred to a child agent's planning graph with re-scoped context, forked into independent copies for parallel evaluation, with results collected by the executive engine and inherited under trait override, mutation revalidation, and emotional dampening.Temporal Anchoring and Lifecycle Management Pruning manager enforcing temporal expiration, slope invalidation, policy revocation, entropy threshold, and compute budget criteria governing planning graph branch lifecycles.Forecasting as Coordination Primitive Forecasting engine replacing centralized schedulers by letting agents coordinate through independently generated planning graphs reconciled at branch intersections by an executive engine.Forecasting-Modulated Discovery Traversal Forecasting engine shaping discovery traversal strategy through speculative branch evaluation of candidate anchor transitions.Forecasting as Confidence Input How the forecasting engine's negative viability signal feeds the confidence governor, reducing agent confidence when no eligible planning-graph branch exists.Integrity-Constrained Forecasting Integrity field constraining branch generation to prevent speculation about behavioral trajectories violating declared values.Forecasting for Training Curriculum Forecasting for training curriculum constructs a planning graph whose branches are candidate training sequences, simulates each skill acquisition trajectory, and applies the forecasting execution cycle to enable proactive curriculum management.Biological Signal to Forecasting Coupling Forecasting engine that consumes a structured biological state summary of stress, engagement, and cognitive load indicators as a modulation input to the planning horizon and risk tolerance, within a policy-bounded, privacy-governed framework.Substrate-Agnostic Forecasting Deployment Forecasting engine deployable across centralized, federated, decentralized, and embodied substrates without architectural modification.Uncertainty-Driven Solicitation in the Forecasting Engine Uncertainty-driven solicitation closes the loop in the forecasting engine: when no eligible planning graph branch exists, a negative viability signal reduces confidence and the agent generates inquiry or explores delegation instead of acting.Cascade Forecasting in the Planning Graph Cascade forecasting projects speculative mutation sequences forward through a planning graph separated from verified execution memory, admitting only slope-eligible branches through a governance-validated promotion interface.Fleet Behavior Extrapolation The executive engine aggregates agent-level planning graphs into a macro executive graph, arbitrating across agents to enable multi-agent coordination without a centralized scheduler.
