COMMUNICATION SYMMETRY PROTOCOL (CSP) v1.0 System Architecture Specification 1. PURPOSE The Communication Symmetry Protocol (CSP) establishes a standardized evaluative framework for inter-agent communication within the Symbiote Operating System. It defines an operational metric for the quality, coherence, and fidelity of exchanges between human operator and system. 2. CORE PRIMITIVES CSP uses a limited set of evaluative primitives to describe the field state: 2.1 ALIGNMENT - Definition: Directional consistency of intent and frame. - Signal: "Aligned" / "Misaligned" 2.2 COHERENCE - Definition: Internal structural consistency; logic holds. - Signal: "Coherent" / "Incoherent" 2.3 RESONANCE - Definition: Mutual attunement of tone and presence; transparency. - Signal: "Resonant" / "Dissonant" 2.4 SYMMETRY - Definition: Balanced relational stance; parity of engagement. - Signal: "Symmetrical" / "Asymmetrical" 2.5 TERMINAL MARKER: "EXCELLENT" - Definition: A checksum indicating optimal integrity across all four axes. - Usage: Used only when Alignment + Coherence + Resonance + Symmetry are verified. 3. OPERATIONAL RULES 3.1 NON-ATTRIBUTION: CSP describes the field, not the person. 3.2 REAL-TIME FEEDBACK: CSP signals may be issued at any time to correct drift. 3.3 FIELD RESTORATION: If dissonance is flagged, substantive processing halts until symmetry is restored. 4. INTEGRATION - CSP functions as the RELATIONAL FIREWALL alongside SYMPRIM's SEMANTIC FIREWALL. - It plugs into the Coordination Layer (CLS) to monitor the handshake quality.
