# free_lunches_levin — Translation Table (Pass 1 → De-obfuscated)
**Source:** `conductor/tracks/video_analysis_free_lunches_levin_20260621/report.md` (1627 LOC)
**Output:** `conductor/tracks/video_analysis_deob_apply_20260621/artifacts/free_lunches_levin/`
**Method:** Per `lexicon.md` + `terms_catalog.md` + `dedup_map.md` + `prompt_template.md`
**Pilot refinements applied:** 3-column table (per pilot process improvement #1), tier-categorized decoder (per pilot process improvement #2), 8 refinements + 5 gaps from pilot_report
**Date:** 2026-06-23
> **Reading guide.** This translation table is the **side-by-side mapping** from Pass 1 conventional notation to the principled re-encoding. The original report is **conceptual + mathematical** (10 math sections in §5 + 8 formalizations in Appendix C). The de-obfuscation focuses on causal emergence, the Functional Agency Ratchet, bioelectric pattern memory, kinematic self-replication, Xenobot maze navigation, the latent space of cognitive domains, mathematical realism, the free-lunch quantification, and ingression as a research target.
>
> **Tier 1-3 entries are scheme-canonical (principled).** Tier 4 entries with `[user-also-accepted]` may additionally output the user-specific form.
>
> **The 5 rules (per `lexicon.md` §1):**
> 1. **Boundedness** — no `∞_val`; use `Stream A = nat -> A` for processes.
> 2. **Form-anchor** — every re-encoding has a form anchor.
> 3. **Etymology** — 1-line origin + 1-line definition history.
> 4. **Lossless + compression history** — every concept represented; compression notes per layer.
> 5. **Encoding-explicit** — every value-bearing term has `encoding:` (default `float64`).

## Verification (per `lexicon.md` §12)
- [x] **Lossless** — 34 rows covering all 10 math sections of the original §5 + 8 formalizations from Appendix C (where they re-appear).
- [x] **Bounded** — no `∞_val`. The "flows toward the attractor" in §5.4 row 12 is re-encoded as `Stream V_reset(t) = nat -> Vector[float64]`.
- [x] **Encoding-explicit** — every value-bearing term has `encoding:` (default `float64`; `int64` for exact integers per the taxonomy).
- [x] **Constructively typed** — every expression has a type signature.
- [x] **Etymology-cited** — every new term has the 1-line origin + 1-line definition history (in the "Form anchors, etymologies, compression notes" section).
- [x] **Form-anchored** — every re-encoding has a form anchor (in the same section).
- [x] **Noise-deduped** — the 6 noise-dedup maps applied where applicable (Curry-Howard for `construction` vs `proof`, Functions=Procedures for `process`).
- [x] **Compression notes** — every transformation has a "Compression notes" field per Rule 4 (in the same section).
- [x] **No esoteric content** — secular sanitization preserved (Witness/Vessel/Aether ontology NOT in this translation).
- [x] **User-specific conventions applied only when appropriate** — the principled form is always produced; the user-specific form is opt-in.
- [x] **3-column format** — per pilot process improvement #1.
