The Structural Assets formalise
the architecture described in the Foundation Essays.
They define the vocabulary, classifications,
metrics, and interaction protocols
required to work with cognitive systems
without collapse or distortion.
These documents are referential.
Asset 1 — Lexicon of Structural Cognition
A formal glossary defining the technical vocabulary of structural cognition, load mechanics, coherence, and architectural transitions.
Asset 2 — Structural Taxonomy of Cognitive Architecture
A hierarchical classification system mapping modes, states, gradients, deformations, and recovery patterns within DEM-aligned architectures.
Asset 3 — Structural Metrics
A measurement framework outlining the core indices of cognitive load, coherence, resistance, gradient steepness, and state viability.
Asset 4 — Protocols of Elicitation
The foundational interaction protocols governing stabilisation, widening, recovery, and field alignment in the DEM framework.
Asset 5 — Structural Protocols
An integrated protocol suite translating DEM’s structural principles into machine-operable procedures for synthetic cognition.
Asset 6 — Canonical Structural Map
A unified topological map showing how DEM principles, modes, gradients, and transitions interlock as a complete structural system.
