Atlas of Tesseract City

The Terminus Standard (Lizard Brain)

The foundational contract of the Viktor Substrate. Named for Terminus, Roman god of boundary stones.

The Six Laws of Terminus

Orchestration vs Calculation: CORE orchestrates. NUCLEON calculates. Never swap.
Disk Access Boundary: Only QUARK touches disk. All I/O must route through subspace_link.py / QuarkIOBase.
Metabolic Bridging: No circular imports. ZPM bridges all tiers; daisy-chain handles cross-SSOT imports.
Path SSOT: Zero hardcoded paths. All paths resolve through DHD.get_coordinates() or terminus().
Telemetry Trace: Every operation leaves an indelible signature via record_telemetry().
LLM Orchestration SSOT: COMTRYA is the only compliant local LLM access surface. Direct Ollama sockets are prohibited.

The 13 Single Sources of Truth (SSOTs)

The substrate relies on 13 specialized SSOT modules discovered through the mycelial network of _TERMINUS.py:

#	Folder	SSOT	Standard & Law	Key Export
0	00_Command	Stargate Command	"All executive ops route through SGC"	`StargateCommand`
1	01_Path	DHD (Dial Home Device)	"All paths resolve through DHD"	`DHD`
2	02_Import	ZPM (Zero Point Module)	"All imports flow through ZPM"	`terminus()`, `record_telemetry()`
3	03_Model	COMTRYA	"All LLM access routes through COMTRYA"	`call_ollama()`
4	04_Boilerplate	Dakara Superweapon	"All boilerplate syncs through Dakara"	`sync_template()`
5	05_Registry	Ping	"All scripts register with Ping"	`get_module()`
6	06_Documentation	Mission Report	"All docs flow through Mission Report"	`MissionReport`
7	07_Memory	The Link	"All memory persists through The Link"	`record_script_memory()`
8	08_Versions	Quantum Mirror	"Every file history is a parallel reality"	`get_version()`, `promote_version()`
9	09.75_Platform	Platform 9¾	"Hidden access points to substrate"	`dial()`
10	10_Cooldown	GCD	"Global cooldown & execution throttle"	`check_cooldown()`
11	11_Blacklist	Ostracization	"Bloat and system churn must be ostracized"	`is_ostracized()`
12	12_Toolchain	The Forge	"Tools known and kept off substrate drive"	`resolve_tool()`

The Mycelial Daisy-Chain Architecture

_TERMINUS.py is the lizard brain hub. When imported, it dynamically inspects numbered subdirectories, identifies __ssot_*.py modules, and binds them into sys.modules without circular import deadlocks.

Compliance Checklist

A script operating in Tesseract City is Terminus-compliant if and only if:

It imports directly from _TERMINUS or __ssot_*.
All paths are resolved via DHD.get_coordinates() (no hardcoded drive letters).
All file persistence uses Quark I/O abstraction.
Every execution traces into the canonical telemetry database via record_telemetry().
