Pass 3 — C11/Python Projection (Track Index)

Track: video_analysis_deob_pass3_20260623 Type: Research-to-code (the FINAL phase of the 3-pass research campaign) Status: spec DRAFT (pending user review) Date: 2026-06-23

What this track is

Pass 3 projects the v2-deobfuscated outputs to C11 or Python code that conveys the subject video's content. The code may or may not run (per user 2026-06-23); the goal is to express the concepts in code using the user's idiomatic style.

This is the final phase of the 3-pass research campaign:

• Pass 1: information extraction (12 deep-dive reports + 1 synthesis)
• Pass 2: deobfuscation (33 markdown deliverables using v1 lexicon)
• v2 patch: corrective refinements (8 corrections + 3 refinements + 4 template notations + 2 << / >> placements)
• Pass 3: C11/Python projection (this track)

Track files

File	Purpose
spec.md	The design intent: 14 sections, the goals, the architecture reference, the risk register, the verification criteria
plan.md	The TDD-ready plan: 3 phases, 11 tasks, Tier 2 + 4 Tier 3 sub-agents
metadata.json	The machine-readable metadata: scope, per-language default, hardware target, risk register, user-directives-logged
state.toml	The track state: 3 phases, 11 tasks, verification flags
README.md	This file (the track index)
TIER2_STARTER.md	The dispatch prompt for Tier 2 — the primary input for execution. 15 sections, self-contained, includes the 4 PRIMARY inputs to read, the 11 videos (per-language default), the per-video deliverables, the 4 + 3 verification criteria, the commit discipline, the 6 open questions answered, the risks, and the Tier 3 sub-agent prompts.
PASS3_REPORT.md	(future) The end-of-track report after execution
artifacts/<slug>/	(future) The per-video deliverables: C11 (.c + .h) or Python (.py) + 3-4 markdown docs

The 11 videos (per-language default)

#	Slug	Language	Cluster
1	cs229_building_llms	C11	A
2	probability_logic	Python	A
3	entropy_epiplexity	Python	A
4	score_dynamics_giorgini	C11	A
5	platonic_intelligence_kumar	C11	B
6	free_lunches_levin	C11	B
7	generic_systems_fields	C11	C
8	brain_counterintuitive	C11	C
9	neural_dynamics_miller	C11	C
10	multiscale_hoffman	C11	C
11	synthesis	Python	D + cross-cutting

Total: 10 C11 + 3 Python (synthesis is Python). Tier 2 may override per video.

The 4 PRIMARY inputs (Tier 2 must read first)

1. The v2 lexicon: conductor/tracks/video_analysis_deob_lexicon_20260621/lexicon.md (~1000 LOC, 13 sections + 4 appendices)
2. The C11 convention: conductor/tracks/video_analysis_deob_c11_reference_20260623/c11_convention.md (~600 LOC, 15 sections)
3. The Pass 1 reports + Pass 2 deliverables: the source content (11 videos + 1 synthesis)
4. The Python convention (manual_slop): conductor/product-guidelines.md + conductor/tech-stack.md

The per-video deliverables (per TIER2_STARTER.md §6)

For each video, the deliverables are:

• For C11 videos (9): <slug>.c + <slug>.h (if needed) + <slug>_translation.md + <slug>_decoder.md + <slug>_notes.md
• For Python videos (2 + 1 synthesis): <slug>.py + <slug>_translation.md + <slug>_decoder.md + <slug>_notes.md

Plus the global deliverables:

• PASS3_REPORT.md (the end-of-track report)
• docs/reports/TRACK_COMPLETION_video_analysis_deob_pass3_20260623.md (canonical docs)

The 4 + 3 verification criteria (per v2 lexicon)

Criterion	Status
Lossless	required
Bounded	required
Constructively typed	required
Etymology-cited	required
Encoding-explicit (Rule 5)	required
Form-anchored	required
User-specific opt-in	required

The 6 open questions for Pass 3 (answered)

#	Question	Answer
1	Applied domain	Simple C11 or Python program per video
2	User-specific forms	Annotation if not code; pseudo sectr lang adapts per video
3	Indefinites	Scalar / float / integer placeholder; float64 only when target resolution matters
4	<< / >> rendering	C11: much_less / much_greater / weakly_coupled; Python: same
5	Criteria	OK; may ideate for applied domain
6	User-facing artifact	Code files (may or may not run) + markdown docs

Sequence

1. Phase 1 (Tasks 1.1-1.4): Tier 2 reads the 4 PRIMARY inputs.
2. Phase 2 (Tasks 2.1-2.4): Tier 2 dispatches 4 parallel Tier 3 sub-agents (per cluster). Each sub-agent produces the per-video deliverables for its cluster.
3. Phase 3 (Tasks 3.1-3.3): Tier 2 writes PASS3_REPORT.md + end-of-track report + updates state.toml.

Total: ~35-58 atomic commits.
