plurigrid Pre-Agent Ontology Skill
Trit: 0 (ERGODIC - coordinates the ontology)
Foundational 5-layer ontology for agent-o-rama. Agents are not primitives—they emerge from derivations, stalks, and sections when gluing succeeds.

Key Primitives
Seed
64-bit unsigned integer replacing temporal state. Same seed → identical derivation chains.
Trit
GF(3) element in {-1, 0, +1}. Forms a field under modular arithmetic.
Derivation
Fundamental computation: (Seed × Trit) → (Seed × Section)
Replaces temporal succession with seed-based chaining.
Stalk
Collection of sections over a single trit value. Organized as fiber bundle.
Section
Local data produced by derivation. Sections glue to form global sections when cocycle condition holds.
Trifurcation Pattern (MANDATORY)
Every operation MUST split into three sub-derivations:
intent
│
┌────────┼────────┐
▼ ▼ ▼
MINUS ERGODIC PLUS
(-1) (0) (+1)
validate coordinate generate
│ │ │
└────────┼────────┘
▼
aggregate
(verify Σ=0)
| Sub-Agent | Trit | Role | Skills |
|---|---|---|---|
| MINUS | -1 | Validator | spi-parallel-verify, bisimulation-game |
| ERGODIC | 0 | Coordinator | glass-bead-game, triad-interleave |
| PLUS | +1 | Generator | gflownet, self-evolving-agent |

Trifurcate Pattern
;; Scatter: emit three roles

"scatter"
"execute-role"
(fn [agent-node {:keys [intent]}]
(aor/emit! agent-node "execute-role" {:intent intent :role :minus})
(aor/emit! agent-node "execute-role" {:intent intent :role :ergodic})
(aor/emit! agent-node "execute-role" {:intent intent :role :plus})))
;; Gather: verify conservation
(aor/agg-node

(fn [agent-node requests _]
(let [results (mapv execute-role requests)

(aor/result! agent-node {:conserved conserved? :trits trits}))))
Verification Checklist
Before any operation completes:
- GF(3) sum ≡ 0 (mod 3)
- All three trits represented (trifurcation)
- Cocycle condition satisfied (sections glue)
- Deterministic (same seed → same result)
- Order-independent (SPI holds)
