🌐 1 — Purpose of Shared‑Horizon (v3.0)

Shared‑Horizon v3.0 is the unified membrane that now contains:

• the runtime-spine ecosystem
• the capsule governance membranes
• the GPU runtime spine
• the HealthyAmbiguity game ecosystem
• the rendering grammar expressive layer
• the charters and normative surfaces
• the legal governance surfaces
• the explainers and ontology crosswalks
• the comparative membrane (new in v3.0)
• the expressive Index Tile (declared face)

Shared‑Horizon is no longer just a taxonomy.
It is a multi‑layer ecosystem with a comparative horizon.

v3.0 is the first version to unify:

• structural
• expressive
• comparative

into a single coherent identity.

🧬 3 — Ontology of the Ecosystem (v3.0)

🟦 Experiment Layer (Runtime‑Spine)

Altitude: A10
Purpose: symbolic spectral geometry, non‑activating runtime artifacts.

Contains:

• spectral primitives
• hybrid runtime descriptions
• free‑energy delta logic
• recursive state machine descriptions
• ANIMA engine explainers (external references only)

---

🟪 Capsule Layer (Binding Membrane)

Altitude: A10
Purpose: binding surfaces, governance membranes, safety capsules.

Capsules govern, never execute.

---

🟥 GPU Runtime Spine

Altitude: A10
Purpose: descriptive GPU‑class phenomenology.

---

🟧 HealthyAmbiguity (Game Ecosystem)

Altitude: A4–A6
Purpose: narrative, expressive, symbolic game logic.

---

🟨 Rendering Grammar (Expressive Layer)

Altitude: A4–A5
Purpose: expressive grammar, palettes, symbolic rendering.

---

🟩 Charters (Normative Layer)

Altitude: A4–A5
Purpose: rights declarations, humane design rules.

---

🟫 Legal Surfaces

Altitude: A0
Purpose: licenses and sovereignty‑preserving governance.

---

🟦 Explainers (Narrative Layer)

Altitude: A4–A5
Purpose: conceptual explainers and philosophical frames.

---

🟪 Crosswalks (Ontology Bridges)

Altitude: A5
Purpose: map concepts between layers.

---

🟦 Comparative Membrane (NEW in v3.0)

Altitude: A2–A4
Purpose: external‑system comparative analysis.

Contains:

• ANIMA Altitude Mapping
• NDH‑Adjacent Features
• ANIMA vs PRECL Continuity Comparison
• Shared‑Horizon Index v1.0
• Shared‑Horizon Index Tile v1.0 ← expressive face

This membrane is non‑activating, external, and sealed from NDH.

---

🌅 4 — Expressive Face Declaration (v3.0)

Shared‑Horizon now has one expressive face:

⭐ Shared‑Horizon Index Tile v1.0

This tile is the prismatic, narrative surface that expresses:

• the horizon
• the comparative sky
• the external echo
• the safe membrane
• the lanterns of comparative artifacts

It replaces the v2.0 expressive block.

No other expressive face is permitted.
