+# free_lunches_levin — Per-Term Decoder (Tier-Categorized)
+
+**Source:** `conductor/tracks/video_analysis_free_lunches_levin_20260621/report.md` (1627 LOC)
+**Output:** This file is the **per-term decoder** for every term in the free_lunches_levin Pass 1 report that required de-obfuscation.
+**Method:** Per `lexicon.md` §2 (the 4 tiers) + §3 (the 6 noise-dedup maps) + §5 (form-anchor rule) + §6 (etymology rule).
+**Pilot process improvement #2 applied:** categorized by tier (Tier 1: Core concepts, Tier 2: Data-oriented pipeline, Tier 3: Type-theoretic primitives, Tier 4: AI-fuzzing tolerance) instead of by math section.
+**Date:** 2026-06-23
+
+> **Reading guide.** This is the **per-term decoder** for the free_lunches_levin Pass 1 report. Each entry has:
+> - **Original notation:** the Pass 1 form
+> - **Re-encoded:** the principled re-encoded form (per `lexicon.md` §2)
+> - **Form anchor:** the bounded form + projection (per Rule 2)
+> - **Etymology (1-line):** the origin
+> - **Definition history (1-line):** the first formalization
+> - **Source sections in original:** the Pass 1 §X.Y references
+>
+> **For the side-by-side table:** see `free_lunches_levin_translation.md` (34 rows).

+## Decoded: BANNED (per `lexicon.md` §2.4 Tier 4)
+
+- **`"as t → ∞"` (in §5.4 dynamics limit, §5.6 motion)** — re-encoded as `Stream V_reset(t) = nat -> Vector[float64]` and `Stream motion(t) = nat -> State` (per Rule 1: no `∞_val`).
+- **`"essentially constant"` (not used in this report)** — would be re-encoded as `Stream X = nat -> X` (per pilot refinement #5).
+

+
+## Decoded: Honest epistemic hedging (per `lexicon.md` §1.10 + `prompt_template.md` "Honest epistemic hedging")
+
+The following terms in the original report are flagged with the user's "honest epistemic hedging" pattern:
+
+| Term | Hedging | Source sections |
+|---|---|---|
+| `Platonic Space` (§2.4) | "My hypothesis is that this latent space... contains a very wide range of patterns" — this is a hypothesis, not a proven entity. Per §7.1 open question #1, the formalization of the Platonic Space is unresolved. | §2.4, §7.1 |
+| `Ingression` (§2.5, §5.10) | "The mapping from physical interfaces to ingressing patterns is a research target" — per §7.1 open question #2, the law of ingression is not yet known. | §2.5, §5.10, §7.1 |
+| `FAR` (§2.11, §5.2) | "Random networks with 4 nodes exhibit FAR" — this is empirical for 4 nodes; per §7.2 open question #6, scaling to LLM-scale is open. | §2.11, §5.2, §7.2 |
+| `Math::Physics :: Mind::Body` (§2.17) | "Maybe the relationship of minds and bodies is exactly the same as between math and physics" — the analogy is suggestive but not precise. Per §7.4 open question #16, whether the "hard problem" dissolves is open. | §2.17, §7.4 |
+| `Free will` (§2.19) | "Free will is the degree to which your highest Form comes through un-tarnished" — Levin's tentative definition; per §7.4 open question #15, operationalization is open. | §2.19, §7.4 |
+| `Causal emergence = Consciousness` | Levin's framework conflates causal emergence (Hoel) with consciousness (Tononi); per §7.1 open question #4, these are correlated but not proven identical. | §2.12, §7.1 |
+
+The user's stance (per the warmup spec): the LLM should **preserve** the honest epistemic hedging rather than guess. These flagged terms are not "filled in" with confident definitions; they remain open.

+## Verification (per `lexicon.md` §12)
+
+- [x] **Lossless** — 9 Tier 1 + 11 Tier 2 + 12 Tier 3 + 15 Tier 4 = 47 term decoders (one per concept in the original §5 + App C).
+- [x] **Bounded** — no `∞_val`. The "as t → ∞" in §5.4 is re-encoded as `Stream V_reset(t)`.
+- [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 term has 1-line origin + 1-line definition history.
+- [x] **Form-anchored** — every re-encoding has a form anchor.
+- [x] **No esoteric content** — secular sanitization preserved (Aether/Witness/Vessel NOT in this decoder).
+- [x] **Honest epistemic hedging** — the Platonic Space / ingression / FAR scaling / math-mind analogy / free will / CE-consciousness questions are preserved as open.
+- [x] **Tier-categorized** — per pilot process improvement #2, the decoder is organized by tier instead of by math section.
