Crystallize
Phase transition from implicit resonance to explicit contract
Definition
Mechanism
Formalize implicit resonance. Agent A proposes crystallization based on history_t. Agent B validates perception. On consensus, implicit behaviors are codified into explicit obligations. It transforms soft Resonate signals into hard Constitution rules, contingent on low entropy conditions maintained by Dampen and EntropyPump, preventing premature Decay.
Preconditions
- Active implicit resonance channel exists
- State is fluid/negotiable
Postconditions
- Explicit coordination channel established
- State marked contractual
Invariants
- The State moves from Fluid to Solid in one Transition; there is no partial crystal.
- Forbidden while system entropy exceeds `entropy_threshold`.
- Requires at least `resonance_period` of observed history.
Risks
Failure modes
Illusory resonance
random noise is read as synchronization, or the parties perceived the alignment differently and crystallization is what exposes it.
Premature crystallization
the lock is attempted above `entropy_threshold`, or on less history than `resonance_period`.
Gaming
an Agent fakes resonance metrics to force crystallization.
Trust inflation
the codified obligations claim more than the observed resonance justifies.
