conductor(archive): Move all 22 video_analysis tracks to archive/analysis/

The 3-pass video analysis research campaign is CLOSED. All 25 tracks are archived at conductor/archive/analysis/.

22 video_analysis tracks moved:
- 1 Pass 1 umbrella (video_analysis_campaign_20260621)
- 12 Pass 1 video reports (cs229, probability_logic, entropy_epiplexity, score_dynamics, platonic, free_lunches, generic_systems, brain, neural_dynamics, multiscale, cs336, creikey)
- 1 Pass 1 synthesis (video_analysis_synthesis_20260621)
- 1 Pass 2 umbrella (video_analysis_deob_20260621)
- 4 Pass 2 sub-tracks (warmup, lexicon, pilot, apply)
- 3 sub-tracks (lexicon_v2, c11_reference, pass3)

The 3 sub-tracks of video_analysis_deob_*_20260623 are the v2 corrective patch, the C11 reference, and Pass 3.

All post-move paths:
- conductor/archive/analysis/video_analysis_campaign_20260621/

# Video Analysis De-obfuscation Campaign (2026-06-21) — Pass 2 of 3
**Status:** Active (spec approved 2026-06-21)
**Owner:** Tier 1 Orchestrator (umbrella spec); Tier 2 Tech Lead (per-track execution)
**Type:** Multi-track research campaign (5 folders total)
**User-as-source:** The warmup is blocked on the user providing samples (Phase 0).
This is **Pass 2 of 3** in the research campaign to penetrate the AI field. See [spec.md](./spec.md) for the full design and the user's de-obfuscation philosophy (constructive type theory, bounded forms, cycles/iteration explicit, etymology-aware).
## Children
### Precursor (standalone, not a child of this umbrella)
| | Track | Status | Notes |
|---|-------|--------|-------|
| Warmup | [../video_analysis_deob_warmup_20260621/](../video_analysis_deob_warmup_20260621/) | [ ] | Produces `report.md` + `prompt_template.md` from the user's past samples. User must provide samples first. **Blocks the 3 children below.** |
### Phase children (3)
| # | Track | Status | Input | Output |
|---|-------|--------|-------|--------|
| 1 | [../video_analysis_deob_lexicon_20260621/](../video_analysis_deob_lexicon_20260621/) | [ ] | Warmup's `report.md` + `prompt_template.md` | `lexicon.md` + `terms_catalog.md` + `dedup_map.md` |
| 2 | [../video_analysis_deob_pilot_20260621/](../video_analysis_deob_pilot_20260621/) | [ ] | Lexicon + 2 Pass 1 reports (`cs229_building_llms`, `entropy_epiplexity`) | 2× 3-layer deliverables + `pilot_report.md` |
| 3 | [../video_analysis_deob_apply_20260621/](../video_analysis_deob_apply_20260621/) | [ ] | Refined lexicon + 10 Pass 1 reports + 1 synthesis | 11× 3-layer deliverables + `apply_report.md` |

## Status legend
- `[ ]` not started
- `[~]` in progress
- `[x]` shipped
- `[!]` blocked
## Cluster / phase legend
- **Warmup** — research-style track; produces the initial lexicon + LLM prompt template
- **Phase 1 (lexicon)** — refines the warmup's draft into a codified operational spec
- **Phase 2 (pilot)** — applies the lexicon to 2 videos (1 foundational + 1 math-heavy) for validation
- **Phase 3 (apply)** — applies the refined lexicon to the remaining 10 + synthesis
## Multi-layer deliverable (per video)
For each de-obfuscated video, the output is 3 files in `artifacts/<slug>/`:
1. **`translation.md`** — side-by-side table: original expression ↔ re-encoded form
2. **`deobfuscated.md`** — the re-encoded report (replacement; same 8-section structure as Pass 1)
3. **`decoder.md`** — per-term decoder: form anchor, etymology, definition history, link to original section
## Verification (4 criteria per deliverable)
- **Lossless** — every Pass 1 concept is represented
- **Bounded** — no `∞_val` or `∞_card`; all values are finite forms
- **Constructively typed** — every expression has a type
- **Etymology-cited** — every new term has a 1-line origin + 1-line definition history in the decoder

# Session Report: Video Analysis Campaign + De-obfuscation (Pass 1 + Pass 2 Warmup/Lexicon/Pilot)
**Date:** 2026-06-21 (Pass 1 scaffolding + 12 children + 1 synthesis) through 2026-06-23 (Pass 2 warmup → lexicon → pilot → apply scaffolded)
**Branch:** `master` (per Tier 2 sandbox convention; the user reviews/merges per preferred workflow)
**Purpose of this report:** Capture the full session context so the conversation can be compacted and re-warmed. When re-warming, the next agent should read this file first, then the TIER2_STARTER.md of the track being dispatched.

## 1. The 3-pass research campaign (the big picture)
| Pass | Goal | Status |
|---|---|---|
| **Pass 1 (DONE)** | Information extraction + distillation. 12 curated YouTube videos → transcripts, keyframes, OCR, deep-dive reports (1000-10000 LOC each) + 1 cross-cutting synthesis. | SHIPPED. 14 folders at `conductor/tracks/video_analysis_*_20260621/`. |
| **Pass 2 (IN PROGRESS)** | De-obfuscation. Apply the user's constructive type-theoretic re-encoding DSL to the Pass 1 reports. Multi-layer deliverable per video: translation / replacement / decoder. | Warmup + Lexicon + Pilot SHIPPED. Apply (Phase 3) SCAFFOLDED, ready for Tier 2 dispatch. |
| **Pass 3 (FUTURE, USER-LED)** | Projection to applied domain. Apply the de-obfuscated outputs to the user's preferred code style (handmade/data-oriented/GPGPU; Lottes/Onat/Jebrim). | Not started. User must articulate "own caveats" first. |
**Lossless preservation directive (load-bearing):** Pass 1 artifacts must NOT be over-summarized (data cascades to Pass 2/3). Pass 2 produces lossless re-encodings; Pass 3 projects them.

| `video_analysis_deob_lexicon_20260621/` | Phase 1. Refines warmup into codified operational spec (`lexicon.md` + `terms_catalog.md` + `dedup_map.md`). | SHIPPED 2026-06-23 (5 atomic commits, b7988c49 end-of-track). |
| `video_analysis_deob_pilot_20260621/` | Phase 2. Applies lexicon to 2 videos (cs229 + entropy_epiplexity). Validates + captures refinements. | SHIPPED 2026-06-23 (5f4448de end-of-track). |
| `video_analysis_deob_apply_20260621/` | Phase 3. **FINAL phase of Pass 2.** Applies refined lexicon to 10 remaining videos + 1 synthesis. 34 deliverables. | SCAFFOLDED 2026-06-23. **Ready for Tier 2 dispatch.** |
| `video_analysis_deob_20260621/` | Umbrella. Coordinates the 4 sub-tracks. The campaign-level design. | SHIPPED 2026-06-21 (5 files: spec/plan/metadata/state/README). |

---
## 4. Pass 2 timeline (this session)
### 2026-06-21: Pass 1 scaffolding + Pass 2 campaign scaffolding
Initial user request: "I need to make a series of tracks for doing an analysis of several videos..."
**Created:**
- `video_analysis_campaign_20260621/` — Pass 1 umbrella (spec, plan, metadata, state, README, TIER2_STARTER)
- 12 child spec.md files (one per video) — lightweight
- 1 synthesis spec.md
- `tracks.md` row 26 registered
### 2026-06-23: Pass 2 scaffolding + warmup + lexicon + pilot + apply
User said: "ok they finished the first pass" (Pass 1 was actually done).
**Pass 2 brainstorming:** User described their de-obfuscation philosophy:
- Constructive type theory as foundation
- Boundedness for direct knowledge (no `∞_val`)
- Cycles/iteration allowed but expressed explicitly
- Etymology-aware lexicon
- Evidence-based (from user's past samples, not invented)
- 3-pass context (warmup → lexicon → pilot → apply; each with its own scope)
**Pass 2 created:**
- `video_analysis_deob_20260621/` — Pass 2 umbrella (5 files)
- `video_analysis_deob_warmup_20260621/` — precursor (4 files; samples in `samples/`, gitignored)
- 3 phase children (lightweight spec.md; full plan/metadata/state + TIER2_STARTER added later)
- `tracks.md` row 29 registered
- `video_analysis_campaign_20260621/spec.md` §11.1 updated to reference new design
**Tier 2 execution of warmup:**
- User provided 158 sample files in `samples/` (gitignored)
- Tier 2 surveyed 100% of samples via 4 parallel sub-agents → 10 cluster sub-reports (~2,491 LOC, 137 patterns)
- Tier 2 produced `report.md` (576 lines) + `prompt_template.md` (~430 lines) + 10 cluster sub-reports
- Tier 2 honored 2026-06-23 secular sanitization (esoteric content moved to `cluster_0_twitter.md`)
- Tier 2 honored 2026-06-23 encoding-explicit + lossless compression history refinements
- Commit: `b7988c49` (end-of-track report)
**User review of warmup:** User said: "I'm not sure if they took some of the sessions I had with llms to literally or as a source of truth instead of a guideance or ideation towards a good de-obfuscation scheme."
I reviewed and found the Tier 2 over-cited the user's specific implementations (Sectored Language V1, LLM session patterns, GA reinterpretations, classical Greek/Latin) as the canonical scheme, when they should be optional output conventions.
**6 surgical edits applied** to `report.md` and `prompt_template.md` (commit `c7b6c6c9`):
1. `report.md` §3.4 — Tier 4 reading guide: principled vs user-specific
2. `report.md` §3.5 — Sectored Language is user's preference, not scheme-canonical
3. `report.md` §4.4 — Real=Imaginary=Bivector is user's GA reinterpretation, not scheme-canonical dedup
4. `report.md` §6.2 — 4-layer output format is OPTIONAL (not mandatory)
5. `prompt_template.md` "Your role" — added "Scheme-canonical vs. user-specific" bullet, removed "Construct, not Invent"
6. `prompt_template.md` "The Sectored Language Operator Names" — labeled OPTIONAL
7. `prompt_template.md` verification checklist — "User-specific conventions applied only when appropriate"
**Tier 2 execution of lexicon (Phase 1):**
- Consumed the warmup's `report.md` (now 714 lines) + `prompt_template.md` (now 332 lines)
- Refined into 3 deliverables: `lexicon.md` (924 LOC), `terms_catalog.md` (156 LOC), `dedup_map.md` (224 LOC)
- FormALIZED the surgical-edits distinction: 16 `[user-also-accepted]` tags, 4 `[principled]` + 4 `[user-preferred]` tags, §3.5 moved to Appendix B, esoteric content excluded
- Addressed 31 unresolved items (14 defined, 16 deferred, 1 excluded secular)
- Commit: `b7988c49` (end-of-track report for lexicon; shared commit hash with warmup)
**Tier 2 execution of pilot (Phase 2):**
- Applied lexicon to 2 videos: cs229_building_llms + entropy_epiplexity
- Produced 6 deliverables: 3-layer per video (translation + deobfuscated + decoder) = 1,566 LOC + pilot_report.md (438 LOC)
- 4 verification criteria met for both videos
- 8 refinements discovered + 5 gaps + 3 process improvements
- Commits: `2cf39fc8` (cs229) + `a3f4877f` (entropy) + `b0be716d` (pilot_report) + `8f64127f` (end-of-track)
**User review of pilot:** User said: "My issue I guess is I'd like maybe 1 layer of decompression where name binded terms are not single-letters ideally unless its vary obvious what that term is to an uninitiated. I don't watn the llm to be afriad to transalte expesssions to multi-line definitions if ncessary or constructions to build them up. operators used need a indexed table unless the warmup has it for what their behavior is."
I applied 2 user refinements (commits `59d048b5` + apply scaffold `da84e800`):
1. **Decompress names AND expressions** rule added to `prompt_template.md` "Your role" with 4 concrete examples
2. **§9 Operator reference (indexed)** added to `report.md` with 13 categories of operators (arithmetic, comparison, logical, set-theoretic, type-theoretic, constructors, data-oriented, pipeline, sectors, type-class resolution, process, procedural/functional, why-this-exists)
**Phase 3 (apply) scaffolded** with full plan/metadata/state/TIER2_STARTER + spec updates.

## 6. Key user directives (load-bearing)
The user's philosophical framework anchors every decision. Capture in every re-warmed session:
| Directive | Source |
|---|---|
| **Constructive type theory as foundation** | 2026-06-21 |
| **Boundedness for direct knowledge** (no `∞_val`; `∞_proc` allowed as `Stream A = nat -> A`; `∞_card` banned) | 2026-06-21 |
| **Cycles/iteration allowed but expressed explicitly** (infinite as cycles, iteration, repetition; not as values) | 2026-06-21 |
| **Etymology-aware lexicon** (1-line origin + 1-line definition history; 4-language pattern for user-also-accepted terms) | 2026-06-21 |
| **Lossless with explicit compression history** (every transformation includes "Compression notes" listing axioms dropped) | 2026-06-23 |
| **Encoding-explicit** (every value-bearing term has `encoding:` attribute; default `float64`) | 2026-06-23 |
| **Honest epistemic hedging** (per the "Don't know what `<<` here is" / "Me fucking around" style) | 2026-06-21 |
| **Secular sanitization** (esoteric content — Witness/Vessel/Aether ontology, classical philosophy — NOT in public deliverables; stays in `cluster_0_twitter.md`) | 2026-06-23 |
| **Principled vs user-specific distinction** (LLM produces principled re-encoding; user-specific forms are opt-in; Sectored Language V1 + GA reinterpretations + classical Greek/Latin are USER preferences, not scheme-canonical) | 2026-06-23 surgical edits |
| **Decompress names AND expressions** (descriptive names, NOT single letters; multi-line constructions preferred) | 2026-06-23 |
| **Use the operator reference** (`report.md` §9 — 13 categories of operators with behavior + type signatures) | 2026-06-23 |
| **3 pilot process improvements** (3-column translation tables; tier-categorized decoders; split end-of-apply report) | 2026-06-23 |
| **No day estimates** (per `conductor/workflow.md` Tier 1 Track Initialization Rules) | 2026-06-16 |
---
## 7. The 9 user-refinements to load-bearing constraints (cumulative)
| # | Refinement | Date | Where applied |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | **Boundedness for direct knowledge** (∞_val banned, ∞_proc allowed, ∞_card banned) | 2026-06-21 | warmup §1.1, lexicon §1.1, prompt_template Rule 1 |
| 2 | **Lossless with compression history** | 2026-06-23 | warmup §1.12, lexicon §1.4, prompt_template Rule 4 |
| 3 | **Encoding-explicit** (Rule 5) | 2026-06-23 | warmup §1.13, lexicon §1.5, prompt_template Rule 5 |
| 4 | **Secular sanitization** (esoteric content excluded) | 2026-06-23 | warmup §1.11 + cluster_0_twitter.md |
| 5 | **Principled vs user-specific formalization** (16 [user-also-accepted] tags, §3.5 to Appendix B, esoteric content OUT) | 2026-06-23 (surgical edits) | lexicon.md §0.1-§0.3, dedup_map.md, prompt_template.md "Your role" |
| 6 | **3 pilot process improvements** (3-column translation; tier-categorized decoder; split end-of-apply report) | 2026-06-23 (pilot) | apply TIER2_STARTER + plan.md |
| 7 | **Decompress names AND expressions** (descriptive names; multi-line constructions) | 2026-06-23 (user feedback) | prompt_template.md "Your role", apply TIER2_STARTER |
| 8 | **Use the operator reference** (`report.md` §9 — 13 categories; the LLM should consult when applying the de-obfuscation) | 2026-06-23 (user feedback) | report.md §9 (new section, 177 insertions), apply TIER2_STARTER |
| 9 | **The 31 unresolved items from the warmup** (12 from §A.3 + 19 from §11.3; 14 defined by lexicon, 16 deferred, 1 excluded secular) | 2026-06-23 (lexicon) | lexicon.md §A.3 + §11.3 |
---
## 8. The 5 rules (the spine of the de-obfuscation)
Every re-encoding in Pass 2 must satisfy all 5 rules. The LLM is invoked with these 5 rules + the lexicon + the operator reference.
1. **Boundedness** — every value is a finite form. `∞_val` banned; `∞_proc` allowed (as `Stream A = nat -> A`); `∞_card` banned; `Real` as a value BANNED; `kind : Real` resolves to `quantity : float64`. **The `while` operator is BANNED**; use `for`, `iterate`, or `Stream`.
2. **Form anchor** — every re-encoding has a form anchor: "What bounded form does this project from the indefinite?"
3. **Etymology** — every new term has a 1-line origin + 1-line definition history.
4. **Lossless** — every Pass 1 concept is represented. If a concept can't be bounded, mark it "indefinite — see original" rather than dropping it. **Plus** (per user 2026-06-23): every transformation includes a "Compression notes" field listing which axioms were dropped at each layer.
5. **Encoding-explicit** — every value-bearing term has an `encoding:` attribute (default `float64`).
---
## 9. The 7 verification criteria (per deliverable)
For each of the 33 deliverables in Phase 3 (11 videos × 3 layers), verify all 7 criteria:
- **Lossless** — no Pass 1 concept dropped; compression history preserved per layer
- **Bounded** — no `∞_val` or `∞_card`; the "real number line" as a value is banned; no `while` loops
- **Encoding-explicit** — every value-bearing term has an `encoding:` attribute. Default: `float64`
- **Constructively typed** — every expression has a type signature
- **Etymology-cited** — every new term has the 1-line origin + 1-line definition history
- **Form-anchored** — every re-encoding has a form anchor
- **User-specific conventions applied only when appropriate** — Sectored Language names + classical Greek/Latin/Sanskrit forms + GA reinterpretations are USER preferences, not scheme-canonical

**The 2 pilot videos** (`cs229_building_llms` + `entropy_epiplexity`) are already done in `video_analysis_deob_pilot_20260621/artifacts/`. Phase 3 skips them.
---
## 11. The 8 pilot refinements + 5 gaps + 3 process improvements
**8 refinements (4 PILOT FIX, 4 DEFERRED to lexicon v2):** correlation, essentially-constant-as-Stream, Levin search, Markov chain, PRNG, poly-time adversary, support, self-delimiting.
**5 gaps (3 DEFERRED, 2 PILOT FIX):** paradox patterns, incomputable classification, honest epistemic hedging, type-class primitive, coinductive stream primitive.
**3 process improvements (the canonical apply-phase conventions):**
1. **3-column translation tables** (instead of 6-column) — reduces visual clutter
2. **Tier-categorized decoders** (instead of by math section) — makes the principled/user-specific split clearer
3. **Split end-of-apply report** into 3 sections: refinements + gaps + process improvements
---
## 12. Critical context for re-warming
### What's the next step?
**Dispatch Tier 2 on Phase 3 (apply) using:**
```
/tier-2-auto-execute video_analysis_deob_apply_20260621
```
The TIER2_STARTER.md is in `conductor/tracks/video_analysis_deob_apply_20260621/TIER2_STARTER.md` and is self-contained (it has the file-read order, the critical context, the dispatch command).
### What's the state of Pass 2?
- ✅ Warmup: SHIPPED
- ✅ Lexicon: SHIPPED
- ✅ Pilot: SHIPPED
- 🔵 Apply (Phase 3): SCAFFOLDED, ready for Tier 2 dispatch
### What does Tier 2 need to know when applying?
1. **Read** `video_analysis_deob_lexicon_20260621/lexicon.md` (PRIMARY input — the codified operational spec)
2. **Read** `video_analysis_deob_pilot_20260621/pilot_report.md` (the 8 refinements + 5 gaps + 3 process improvements)
3. **Read** `video_analysis_deob_warmup_20260621/report.md` §9 (the indexed operator reference; 13 categories)
4. **Read** `video_analysis_deob_warmup_20260621/prompt_template.md` (the LLM-direct operational spec; has the "Decompress names AND expressions" rule)
5. **Apply** the lexicon to 11 inputs (10 remaining Pass 1 reports + 1 synthesis)
6. **Adopt** the 3 pilot process improvements (3-column tables, tier-categorized decoders, split report)
7. **Honor** the 5 rules + 7 verification criteria + the principled/user-specific distinction
8. **Write** `apply_report.md` (split into 3 sections: refinements + gaps + process improvements)
9. **Mark** `state.toml` to `status = "completed"` when done
### What's the BIG picture?
- 3-pass research campaign (Pass 1 = info extraction; Pass 2 = de-obfuscation; Pass 3 = projection to applied domain)
- Pass 1 is DONE; Pass 2 is IN PROGRESS (3 of 4 phases done; apply is the FINAL phase)
- After Pass 2, Pass 3 is user-led (user must articulate "own caveats" first)
---
## 13. Files to read when re-warming (priority order)
If you have time to read just a few files, read these in this order:
1. **This file** (you're reading it) — the session report
2. `/conductor/tracks/video_analysis_deob_20260621/spec.md` — the Pass 2 umbrella design
3. `/conductor/tracks/video_analysis_deob_apply_20260621/TIER2_STARTER.md` — the dispatch prompt for Phase 3 (Tier 2 reads this when dispatched)
4. `/conductor/tracks/video_analysis_deob_lexicon_20260621/lexicon.md` — the codified operational spec
5. `/conductor/tracks/video_analysis_deob_pilot_20260621/pilot_report.md` — the 8 refinements + 5 gaps + 3 process improvements
6. `/conductor/tracks/video_analysis_deob_warmup_20260621/report.md` §9 — the indexed operator reference
**Don't read** the cluster sub-reports (`research/cluster_*.md`) — they're the evidence base for the lexicon, not the operational spec.
---
## 14. Known issues / open questions for Phase 3 + Pass 3
### Open issues for Phase 3
- Cluster D (creikey_dl_cv, applied capstone) has too much practical detail (not math) — may produce many "indefinite — see original" flags
- The cross-cutting synthesis is harder to de-obfuscate than the per-video reports (it spans all 5 clusters) — process last
- The 31 unresolved items from the warmup (12 from §A.3 + 19 from §11.3) may need further resolution in `apply_report.md`
### Open questions for Pass 3 (user-led, future)
- The user must articulate their "own caveats" before Pass 3 starts (per Pass 1 spec §11.2)
- The user must rediscover/redefine their "compress/decompress math info" encoding notation (per Pass 1 spec §11.1)
- Pass 3 applies the bounded, constructive, type-theoretic forms to the user's preferred code style
- Influences: handmade/data-oriented/GPGPU (Timothy Lottes, Onat Türkçüoğlu, Jebrim) + user's own caveats
---
## 15. Re-warm checklist (when context is re-loaded)
When re-warming, the next agent should:
1. **Read this file** (this session report)
2. **Verify git status**`git status --short` should show no uncommitted changes; `git log --oneline -10` should show the latest commits
3. **Check the current branch**`git branch --show-current` should be `master`
4. **If continuing Phase 3 dispatch**: read `/conductor/tracks/video_analysis_deob_apply_20260621/TIER2_STARTER.md` and follow the dispatch command
5. **If reviewing the campaign**: read `/conductor/tracks/video_analysis_deob_20260621/README.md` for the child index
6. **If re-warming for a specific question**: the §12 "Critical context for re-warming" above gives the file-read order
---
*End of session report. Total: 15 sections. ~1,200 LOC. The next agent should read §1-3 for the big picture, §6-9 for the load-bearing constraints, §10-11 for the current state, and §12-15 for the re-warm checklist.*

# Plan: Video Analysis De-obfuscation Campaign (umbrella)
This is the umbrella-level plan for Pass 2 of the 3-pass research campaign. Per the Tier 1 Track Initialization Rules, scope is measured in files/sites — no day estimates.
## Phase 0: User samples provided
This phase is a USER action item, not a Tier 2/3 action.
- [ ] **Task 0.1:** User gathers 3-10 samples of their past de-obfuscation notes (any format: markdown, txt, mixed) and places them in `conductor/tracks/video_analysis_deob_warmup_20260621/samples/`.
## Phase 1: Warmup (precursor)
- [ ] **Task 1.1:** Initialize the warmup track: create `plan.md`, `metadata.json`, `state.toml` (Tier 2).
- [ ] **Task 1.2:** Survey the samples (Tier 3 worker delegated): term frequency, structural patterns, "form projection" heuristics, noise-dedup maps.
- [ ] **Task 1.3:** Write `report.md` (Tier 3 worker, ~1000-3000 LOC). Sections: design philosophy (anchored to user directives), the curated lexicon (terms + re-encodings), the 3 noise-dedup maps, sample transformations.
- [ ] **Task 1.4:** Write `prompt_template.md` (Tier 3 worker, ~200-500 LOC). The operational artifact; an LLM can be prompted with this directly to perform the de-obfuscation.
- [ ] **Task 1.5:** User review + approval of the lexicon + template.
## Phase 2: Phase 1 child — Lexicon refinement
- [ ] **Task 2.1:** Initialize the lexicon child track (Tier 2).
- [ ] **Task 2.2:** Refine the warmup's draft: add 5-10 test cases (example transformations drawn from the user's samples); add the "form anchor" requirement; add cross-references to the warmup's report.
- [ ] **Task 2.3:** Produce `lexicon.md` (the codified operational spec), `terms_catalog.md` (the machine-readable lexicon), `dedup_map.md` (the 3 noise-dedup maps).
- [ ] **Task 2.4:** User review + approval before Phase 3 child starts.
## Phase 3: Phase 2 child — Pilot on 2 videos
- [ ] **Task 3.1:** Initialize the pilot child track (Tier 2).
- [ ] **Task 3.2:** Apply the lexicon to `cs229_building_llms` (Pass 1 report). Produce 3-layer deliverable in `artifacts/cs229_building_llms/`.
- [ ] **Task 3.3:** Apply the lexicon to `entropy_epiplexity` (Pass 1 report). Produce 3-layer deliverable in `artifacts/entropy_epiplexity/`.
- [ ] **Task 3.4:** Write `pilot_report.md` capturing: lexicon refinements discovered, concepts that didn't fit (gaps), process improvements.
- [ ] **Task 3.5:** User review + approval before Phase 4 child starts.
## Phase 4: Phase 3 child — Apply to remaining 10 + synthesis
- [ ] **Task 4.1:** Initialize the apply child track (Tier 2).
- [ ] **Task 4.2:** Apply the refined lexicon to each of the 10 remaining Pass 1 reports. Produce 3-layer deliverables in `artifacts/<slug>/`.
- [ ] **Task 4.3:** Apply the refined lexicon to the cross-cutting synthesis. Produce 3-layer deliverable in `artifacts/synthesis/`.
- [ ] **Task 4.4:** Write `apply_report.md` capturing: final lexicon v2, final process refinements, open questions for Pass 3.
## Phase 5: Campaign closeout
- [ ] **Task 5.1:** Update umbrella `README.md` with final statuses (all 4 children shipped).
- [ ] **Task 5.2:** Update umbrella `state.toml` to `status = "completed"`.
- [ ] **Task 5.3:** Write end-of-track report at `docs/reports/TRACK_COMPLETION_video_analysis_deob_20260621.md`.
- [ ] **Task 5.4:** Move all 5 folders to `conductor/archive/` per the project's archiving convention.
- [ ] **Task 5.5:** Update `conductor/chronology.md` with 5 new rows.
- [ ] **Task 5.6:** Update `conductor/tracks.md` to remove the campaign from Active Tracks.
## Verification (gate per workflow.md)
Each phase's completion requires:
- [ ] Idempotency check: re-running the de-obfuscation produces identical output (modulo timestamps)
- [ ] 4 verification criteria per umbrella spec §8 (lossless, bounded, constructively typed, etymology-cited)
- [ ] User review + approval at each phase boundary
- [ ] Per-task commits with git notes
- [ ] All artifacts committed to git
The campaign is "Pass 2 complete" when all 5 folders shipped, the 13 deliverables (2 pilot + 11 apply) are in `artifacts/`, and the user has approved each.

# Track Specification: Video Analysis De-obfuscation Campaign (2026-06-21)
**Status:** Active (spec approved 2026-06-21)
**Initialized:** 2026-06-21
**Owner:** Tier 1 Orchestrator (umbrella spec + synthesis); Tier 2 Tech Lead (per-track execution)
**Priority:** A (user-blocking; Pass 2 of the 3-pass research campaign)
**Type:** Multi-track research campaign (1 warmup + 1 umbrella + 3 phase children = 5 folders total)
**Domain:** Meta-tooling (research deliverable + LLM operational spec; no `src/` changes)
> **Purpose.** This umbrella organizes Pass 2 of the user's 3-pass research campaign: **de-obfuscation** of the Pass 1 video reports via the user's constructive type-theoretic re-encoding DSL. The de-obfuscation reduces standard math notation + verbose DSL/verbiage into a bounded, constructive, type-theoretic form that bridges the conceptual gap and crystallizes the formal language into the reader's mind.
> **Multi-pass context.** Pass 1 produced 12 deep-dive reports (1000-10000 LOC each) + 1 cross-cutting synthesis. Pass 2 takes those and produces a multi-layer de-obfuscated version per video. Pass 3 (future, user-led) projects the de-obfuscated content to the user's applied domain (handmade/data-oriented/GPGPU + own caveats).
> **Companion docs.** The warmup track (`video_analysis_deob_warmup_20260621/`) is the precursor that produces the initial lexicon + LLM prompt template. The 3 phase children (`video_analysis_deob_{lexicon,pilot,apply}_20260621/`) consume the warmup's output and apply it to the Pass 1 reports.
---
## 1. Overview
### 1.1 The user's de-obfuscation philosophy (foundational)
The user curates knowledge unorthodoxy, especially formal math/sciences. Their position:
| Position | Take |
|---|---|
| **Form requires bounds** | "To be known is to project a form." Boundedness is required for direct knowledge. |
| **Indefinite is not directly knowable** | What is unbounded is indefinite; what is indefinite is indiscernible, unobserved, unsubject, unknowable. |
| **Cycles/iteration/repetition are allowed** | Indefinite *operations* on bounded *forms* are expressible. `Stream A = nat -> A` is fine; `∞_val` is not. |
| **The agent is bounded by necessity** | An agent is "envesseled in the soup of the universe," separated from the indefinite to discern. The agent cannot be indefinite. |
| **Standard math notation is "noise"** | Too compressed, error-prone, ASCII-hostile, not programmatic, not verifiable, not visualizable. Lots of synonyms that mean the same thing (Curry-Howard: proofs=programs, types=propositions, etc.). |
| **Constructive type theory is the foundation** | Proofs = programs (Curry-Howard); every value is a bounded form; operations are transformations. |
| **Lexicon is etymology-aware** | Each term's word origin + definitional history is documented. Words are chosen to match modern subjective experience. |
| **Inspiration** | Modern PL design — concatenative (Forth/KYRA/CoSy), data-oriented imperative (Lottes), immediate-mode DAG-building DSLs (O'Donnell's IMGUI). |
### 1.2 What Pass 2 produces
For each of the 12 Pass 1 reports + 1 cross-cutting synthesis, Pass 2 produces a **3-layer de-obfuscated deliverable**:
1. **Translation** (`<slug>_translation.md`) — side-by-side table: original expression ↔ re-encoded form
2. **Replacement** (`<slug>_deobfuscated.md`) — the re-encoded form replaces the original; the report is read as a bounded, constructive, type-theoretic document
3. **Decoder index** (`<slug>_decoder.md`) — per-term decoder: form anchor, etymology, definition history, link to the original section
Plus a per-track **pilot_report.md** or **apply_report.md** capturing lexicon refinements.
### 1.3 The 2-stage Pass 2 flow
```
Stage 1 (Warmup - precursor): Stage 2 (Apply - 3 phases):
┌─ Phase 1: Lexicon (refine warmup's draft)
User's past notes ──► Warmup report.md + │
prompt_template.md ───────┤─ Phase 2: Pilot (apply to 2 videos, refine)
└─ Phase 3: Apply (apply to 10 + synthesis)
```
---
## 2. Current State Audit (as of 2026-06-21)
### 2.1 Already Available (DO NOT re-derive)
| Asset | Location | Use in Pass 2 |
|---|---|---|
| Pass 1 reports (12 + 1 synthesis) | `conductor/tracks/video_analysis_<slug>_20260621/report.md` + `summary.md` | The input to de-obfuscate |
| Pass 1 transcripts + OCR | `conductor/tracks/video_analysis_<slug>_20260621/artifacts/` | Source material for re-encoding context |
| `intent_dsl_survey_20260612` report | `conductor/tracks/intent_dsl_survey_20260612/report_v1.2.md` | Sibling DSL (a tool-verb DSL for AI agents); not the math re-encoding, but shares the philosophy |
| 4-tier vocab + 14-primitive grammar | `intent_dsl_survey_20260612/report_v1.2.md` §3, §4 | Reference for the PL-design vocabulary to use in the de-obfuscation DSL |
| `conductor/code_styleguides/error_handling.md` | Conductor docs | `Result[T]` convention for any new Python tooling |
| `conductor/code_styleguides/python.md` | Conductor docs | 1-space indent, type hints, no comments |
| Reference scripts (bootslop) | `C:\projects\forth\bootslop\*.py` | yt-dlp / cv2 / winsdk OCR — NOT needed for Pass 2 (no video processing) |
### 2.2 Gaps to Fill (this campaign's scope)
| # | Gap | Resolution |
|---|---|---|
| G1 | The user has no codified de-obfuscation DSL | Warmup produces `report.md` + `prompt_template.md` from the user's past samples |
| G2 | The de-obfuscation lexicon is not yet finalized | Phase 1 (lexicon) refines the warmup's draft into a codified spec |
| G3 | No pilot validation of the lexicon | Phase 2 (pilot) applies to 2 videos (1 foundational + 1 math-heavy) and captures refinements |
| G4 | No application to the remaining 10 + synthesis | Phase 3 (apply) applies the refined lexicon to the remaining Pass 1 outputs |
| G5 | No multi-layer deliverable structure | The 3-layer format (translation / replacement / decoder) is the new convention |
---
## 3. Goals
1. **Lexicon derived from the user's exemplars.** The de-obfuscation DSL is not invented from scratch; it is extracted from the user's past de-obfuscation notes via the warmup track. Evidence-based, not imposed.
2. **LLM-direct operational spec.** The de-obfuscation is performed by an LLM following the prompt template. The template is the "code" — the contract between the warmup and the apply phases.
3. **Lossless preservation (carries Pass 1's directive).** No Pass 1 concept is lost. The 3-layer output ensures every standard-math expression is represented (translation), replaced (replacement), and explained (decoder).
4. **Bounded, constructive, type-theoretic.** Every value is a bounded form. Iteration is explicit. "Infinity" is disambiguated lexically: `∞_val` (banned), `∞_proc` (allowed), `∞_card` (banned).
5. **Etymology + definitional history.** Each new term has a 1-line origin note + a 1-line definition history in the decoder.
6. **Multi-pass handoff.** Pass 3 (projection to applied domain) can consume the de-obfuscated outputs as its input. The handoff is clean: Pass 2 produces bounded, constructive forms; Pass 3 can apply them to the user's stylistic preferences.
---
## 4. Functional Requirements
### FR1. Umbrella folder + README
**WHERE:** `conductor/tracks/video_analysis_deob_20260621/`
**WHAT:** This folder contains the umbrella design (this spec) + 4 sibling files (`plan.md`, `metadata.json`, `state.toml`, `README.md`). The README is the index of the 4 sibling tracks (warmup + 3 phases) with their statuses.
### FR2. Warmup track (precursor)
**WHERE:** `conductor/tracks/video_analysis_deob_warmup_20260621/`
**WHAT:** Standalone research-style track. Produces:
- `report.md` — the design philosophy + the curated lexicon (terms + re-encodings) + the 3 noise-dedup maps (Curry-Howard-style collapses)
- `prompt_template.md` — the operational spec; an LLM can be prompted with this directly
**Inputs:** The user provides samples in `samples/` (their past de-obfuscation notes). Format: markdown, txt, or any text the user has.
**Process:** Tier 2 worker surveys the samples for term frequency, structural patterns, "form projection" heuristics, and noise-dedup maps. Produces a report + prompt template following the convention of `intent_dsl_survey_20260612/report_v1.2.md`.
**`blocked_by`:** none (user must provide samples before warmup can start; the user's action item is the FIRST dependency).
**`blocks`:** the 3 phase children (lexicon, pilot, apply) all depend on the warmup's output.
### FR3. Phase 1 — Lexicon refinement
**WHERE:** `conductor/tracks/video_analysis_deob_lexicon_20260621/`
**WHAT:** Consumes the warmup's `report.md` + `prompt_template.md`. Produces a codified `lexicon.md` (the operational spec for the de-obfuscation LLM) + `terms_catalog.md` (the machine-readable lexicon) + `dedup_map.md` (the 3 noise-dedup maps).
The lexicon refinement adds:
- Test cases (5-10 example transformations drawn from the user's samples)
- A "form anchor" requirement: each re-encoding must project from an indefinite to a bounded form
- Cross-references to the warmup's report sections
### FR4. Phase 2 — Pilot on 2 videos
**WHERE:** `conductor/tracks/video_analysis_deob_pilot_20260621/`
**WHAT:** Consumes the codified `lexicon.md` + 2 Pass 1 reports. The 2 pilot videos are:
1. `cs229_building_llms` (foundational ML/LLM coverage — wide scope, good test for "form projection" across many concepts)
2. `entropy_epiplexity` (math-heavy, focused on information-theoretic concepts — good test for "boundedness" + type-theoretic encoding of measure theory)
For each pilot video, produces the 3-layer deliverable in `artifacts/<slug>/`:
- `translation.md` (side-by-side: original ↔ re-encoded)
- `deobfuscated.md` (replacement: re-encoded form replaces the original)
- `decoder.md` (per-term decoder: form anchor, etymology, definition history)
Plus a `pilot_report.md` capturing:
- Lexicon refinements discovered during the pilot
- Concepts that didn't fit the lexicon (gaps)
- Process improvements for Phase 3
### FR5. Phase 3 — Apply to remaining 10 + synthesis
**WHERE:** `conductor/tracks/video_analysis_deob_apply_20260621/`
**WHAT:** Consumes the refined lexicon (from Phase 2) + 10 remaining Pass 1 reports + 1 cross-cutting synthesis. Produces the 3-layer deliverable for each, in `artifacts/<slug>/`.
Plus an `apply_report.md` capturing:
- Final lexicon v2
- Final process refinements
- Open questions for Pass 3
### FR6. Multi-layer deliverable structure (per video)
For each Pass 1 report, the de-obfuscation produces 3 files in `artifacts/<slug>/`:
**`<slug>_translation.md`** — side-by-side translation table:
```markdown
# Translation: <Video Title>
| # | Original Section | Original Expression | Re-encoded Form | Form Anchor |
|---|------------------|---------------------|-----------------|-------------|
| 1 | §2 Key Concepts | `set S = {x | P(x)}` | `kind S = {x : T | proof : P x}` | bounded set comprehension |
| 2 | §4 Transcript | `∀x ∈ : x² ≥ 0` | `forall x : Real, square x >= 0` | bounded quantification over Reals |
| ... |
```
**`<slug>_deobfuscated.md`** — the re-encoded report (replacement). Same 8-section structure as Pass 1's report, but every standard-math expression is replaced with the constructive type-theoretic form.
**`<slug>_decoder.md`** — per-term decoder:
```markdown
# Decoder: <Video Title>
## Term: Set
- Original notation: `S = {x | P(x)}`
- Re-encoded: `kind S = {x : T | proof : P x}`
- Form anchor: bounded set comprehension (a `kind` is a finite enumerated type)
- Etymology: "set" (Old English "settan" = to set, place); the word evokes "placement"
- Definition history: Cantor (1895) proposed unbounded set theory; the user rejects this in favor of bounded kinds
- Source sections in original: §2.1, §4.3, §5.7
## Term: Forall
- ...
```
### FR7. The de-obfuscation DSL (what the lexicon defines)
The lexicon produced by the warmup + refined by Phase 1 is the **de-obfuscation DSL**. It has:
| Component | Definition |
|---|---|
| **Terms** | The vocabulary: `kind`, `forall`, `exists`, `proof`, `program`, `type`, `bounded`, `stream`, `iterate`, `cycle`, `form`, `anchor`, etc. (the warmup discovers these from the user's samples) |
| **Grammar** | How terms combine. Inherits from constructive type theory: `term := term term | ( term ) | name : type | lambda name . term | ...` |
| **Noise-dedup map** | The 3 collapse maps: proofs=programs (Curry-Howard), types=propositions, sets=kinds, etc. |
| **Boundedness rules** | `∞_val` (banned), `∞_proc` (allowed as `Stream A = nat -> A`), `∞_card` (banned). Every value must be a bounded form. |
| **Form-anchor rule** | Every re-encoding must have a form anchor: "what bounded form does this project from the indefinite?" |
| **Etymology rule** | Every new term has a 1-line origin + 1-line definition history in the decoder. |
| **Verification rule** | The 4 verification criteria per §12: lossless, bounded, constructively typed, etymology-cited. |
### FR8. Dependency graph
```
UMBRELLA (video_analysis_deob_20260621)
├── Warmup (video_analysis_deob_warmup_20260621)
│ │
│ ▼ (warmup produces report.md + prompt_template.md)
├── Phase 1 (video_analysis_deob_lexicon_20260621) — consumes warmup
│ │
│ ▼ (Phase 1 produces lexicon.md + terms_catalog.md + dedup_map.md)
├── Phase 2 (video_analysis_deob_pilot_20260621) — consumes Phase 1

└── Phase 3 (video_analysis_deob_apply_20260621) — consumes Phase 2
▼ (Phase 3 produces 11 deobfuscated deliverables + apply_report.md)
```
### FR9. Storage & naming
- All 5 new folders under `conductor/tracks/` (matching the user's directive: "just make new files for pass 2 in the same directories")
- The warmup's `samples/` is gitignored (user's past notes are local-only; not committed)
- The 3-layer deliverables are committed (research artifacts, the whole point of Pass 2)
- Reports and decoder files are committed
- Per-phase pilot/apply reports are committed
### FR10. No src/ changes
Pass 2 produces research artifacts (markdown files). It does NOT modify `src/*.py`, add `src/<thing>.py` files, or add new `pyproject.toml` deps. The only code that may be written is for tooling (a possible `scripts/deobfuscate/` namespace IF a Tier 3 worker finds that the prompt template alone is insufficient — this is a judgment call during Phase 1).
---
## 5. Non-Functional Requirements
- **TDD if code is written.** Any new Python tooling in `scripts/deobfuscate/` follows the same conventions as `scripts/video_analysis/` (Result[T], 1-space indent, type hints, no comments, tests in `tests/test_deobfuscate_*.py`).
- **Per-task atomic commits.** Each phase follows `conductor/workflow.md` per-task commit discipline.
- **Git notes.** Each task gets a git note summarizing what was done and why.
- **No day estimates.** Scope measured in files/sites per `conductor/workflow.md` Tier 1 Track Initialization Rules.
- **User-as-source dependency.** The warmup is blocked on the user providing samples. This is a USER action item, not a Tier 2/3 action.
- **Lossless preservation directive (carried from Pass 1).** No Pass 1 concept is lost in the de-obfuscation.
---
## 6. Out of Scope (Explicit)
- **Pass 3 (projection to applied domain).** Future, user-led. The de-obfuscated outputs of Pass 2 are Pass 3's input.
- **The user's "own caveats" (referenced in Pass 1's spec §11.2).** User must articulate these before Pass 3 starts. Out of scope here.
- **The math encoding notation design itself (without the user's exemplars).** Pass 2 is EVIDENCE-BASED — the lexicon is derived from the user's past work, not invented.
- **Interpreter for the de-obfuscation DSL.** Out of scope. The LLM is the executor; no interpreter is built.
- **Modifying `src/*.py` files in manual_slop.** Research-only campaign.
- **Adding `pyproject.toml` dependencies.** All work is research (markdown files).
- **Automated verification of the de-obfuscation's "correctness."** The 4 verification criteria (lossless, bounded, constructively typed, etymology-cited) are checked by Tier 3 + the user, not by automated tooling.
---
## 7. Architecture Reference
This campaign does not modify the manual_slop application architecture. It produces research artifacts. The architecture refs that DO apply:
- **Track convention:** `conductor/workflow.md` "Standard Task Workflow" + "Tier 1 Track Initialization Rules" + per-task commit discipline
- **Code style (if code is written):** `conductor/code_styleguides/python.md` + `conductor/code_styleguides/error_handling.md`
- **Research track precedent:** `conductor/tracks/intent_dsl_survey_20260612/` (research-style report + operational spec)
- **Campaign umbrella precedent:** `conductor/tracks/video_analysis_campaign_20260621/` (1 umbrella + N children at `conductor/tracks/` level)
- **Multi-pass framing (load-bearing):** `conductor/tracks/video_analysis_campaign_20260621/spec.md` §0, §11
---
## 8. Verification Criteria
The campaign is "done" when all of the following are true:
- [ ] Warmup shipped with `report.md` + `prompt_template.md` (and the user has approved the lexicon)
- [ ] Phase 1 (lexicon) shipped with `lexicon.md` + `terms_catalog.md` + `dedup_map.md`
- [ ] Phase 2 (pilot) shipped with 2 deobfuscated deliverables (each 3-layer) + `pilot_report.md` capturing refinements
- [ ] Phase 3 (apply) shipped with 11 deobfuscated deliverables (each 3-layer) + `apply_report.md` capturing final lexicon v2
- [ ] Each deobfuscated deliverable passes the 4 verification criteria:
1. **Lossless** — every Pass 1 concept is represented in the de-obfuscated form (no dropped content)
2. **Bounded** — no `∞_val` or `∞_card` in the output; all values are finite forms
3. **Constructively typed** — every expression has a type; type-checking is mentally executable
4. **Etymology-cited** — every new term in the deobfuscation has a 1-line origin + 1-line definition history in the decoder
- [ ] Umbrella `state.toml` updated to `status = "completed"`
- [ ] End-of-track report at `docs/reports/TRACK_COMPLETION_video_analysis_deob_20260621.md`
- [ ] All 5 folders move to `conductor/archive/` per the project's archiving convention
- [ ] `conductor/chronology.md` updated with 5 new rows
---
## 9. Risk Register
| ID | Title | Likelihood | Scope impact | Mitigation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| R1 | User cannot provide samples in time | Medium | Warmup blocked | User can provide partial samples; warmup can use 1-2 examples as a starter |
| R2 | User's samples don't have enough de-obfuscation patterns (e.g., mostly raw notes) | Medium | Warmup produces a thin lexicon | Phase 1 (lexicon) extends the warmup's draft with constructive type theory defaults |
| R3 | Lexicon can't capture a concept in bounded form | Medium | Some concepts remain "indefinite — see original" | Document the gap; don't force a translation |
| R4 | Pilot reveals the lexicon is overfit to the user's style | Low | Refinement needed in Phase 2 | `pilot_report.md` captures gaps; Phase 3 uses the refined lexicon |
| R5 | The 3-layer deliverable format is too verbose for some videos | Low | Adjust per video | Format is a template, not a rigid structure; some sections may be smaller |
| R6 | Tier 2 attempts to invent the lexicon without the user's samples | Low (if user samples present) | Lexicon is invented, not evidence-based | Warmup spec is explicit: "consume user samples FIRST; lexicon is evidence-based" |
| R7 | Pass 3 needs the de-obfuscated outputs but Pass 2 isn't done | High (timeline) | Pass 3 blocked | This campaign's "lossless preservation" ensures Pass 3 has all the input it needs once Pass 2 ships |
| R8 | The user changes their mind about the philosophy mid-campaign | Low | Pilot reveals the shift; lexicon is updated | `pilot_report.md` is the checkpoint for user review |
---
## 10. User Directives (recorded for next agent / future-self)
- **2026-06-21:** "I have a very unorthodox take for how I curate knowledge, especially formal knowledge in the math and sciences." — Pass 2 is curation, not just translation.
- **2026-06-21:** "I like theurgy, I like some aspects of platonic thought... consistent time-invariant shared objective reference to similar patterns." — Platonism: shared reference through subjective lenses.
- **2026-06-21:** "I like Norman Wildberger's work. And I like the constructivist current progress on type theories." — Foundational: constructive type theory + Wildberger's algebraic finitism.
- **2026-06-21:** "I don't like the way indefinites/infinities/infinitesimals are defined or verbally utilized." — Boundedness required for direct knowledge.
- **2026-06-21:** "Infinite is okay well handled CORRECTLY. No observer or mechanism or construct can be infinite in resolution or quantification." — Cycles/iteration are fine; `∞_val` is not.
- **2026-06-21:** "I can provide samples of notes I've done but it will take time and might be best to leave to a 'warmup' track to gather and survey those." — Warmup is the precursor; the lexicon is evidence-based.
- **2026-06-21:** "Multi-layer for sure" (answer to Q1).
- **2026-06-21:** "Report + prompt template" (answer to Q3, Q4).
- **2026-06-21:** "Just make new files for pass 2 in the same directories" + "I like having that umbrella track similar to the campaign track" (answer to Q4) — 5 folders at `conductor/tracks/` level, hybrid umbrella.
- **2026-06-21:** "Without giving examples this is the best I can do to describe where I am." — The ideation has set the philosophy; the exemplars (warmup) provide the concrete terms.
