Implementation Plan: MECE Quadrant Integration

Implement the MECE cognitive architecture: Soul (Axiological Constitution), Mind (Isomorphic Compiler), Will (Evolutionary Kernel), Body (Thermodynamic Substrate), and the orchestration between them.

Architecture and Design

Design Principles Applied

• Isomorphism: Quadrant outputs are structured artifacts with traceable provenance.
• Invariants: Governance and safety constraints apply across quadrants.
• Idempotency: Reification steps are deterministic given identical inputs.

Dependency Justification

• No new dependencies for plan completion.

Proposed Cycles

Task Breakdown

Wave 1 (Parallel)

• C1A: Finalize Axiological Constitution (value hierarchy + fitness)
  • Implements: Soul quadrant
  • Satisfies: PRD-005
  • Files: docs/specs/shared/sds/022-axiological-constitution-service.md
• C1B: Finalize Isomorphic Semantic Compiler (mind)
  • Implements: Mind quadrant and reification
  • Satisfies: PRD-005
  • Files: docs/specs/shared/sds/027-isomorphic-semantic-compiler.md

Wave 2 (Depends on Wave 1)

• C2A: Finalize Evolutionary Kernel and Thermodynamic Substrate
  • Implements: Will + Body quadrants
  • Satisfies: PRD-005
  • Files: docs/specs/shared/sds/023-evolutionary-kernel-service.md, docs/specs/shared/sds/024-thermodynamic-substrate-service.md
• C2B: Finalize MECE Quadrant integration orchestration
  • Implements: Cross-quadrant communication and system state
  • Satisfies: PRD-005
  • Files: docs/specs/shared/sds/028-mece-quadrant-integration.md

Validation & Verification

Spec Validation

• Quadrant interfaces and responsibilities are non-overlapping and complete (MECE)

Implementation Validation

• Quadrant orchestration yields deterministic outputs for identical inputs

Open Questions

1. What is the MVP scope for each quadrant (full vs minimal)? Q3 full, Q2 medium, Q1/Q4 minimal
2. Where are quadrant fitness/constraint thresholds configured? schemas/governance/quadrants/*.yaml

Risks & Mitigation

Rollback Strategy

1. Disable cross-quadrant orchestration and operate quadrants in isolation while stabilizing contracts.
