# 07_WEFT_INTAKE

This folder records the first intake of `HEX.zip`, received from:

```text
/Users/edwardellis/Downloads/HEX.zip
```

The archive contains a runnable WEFT kernel and its synthesis report:

- `weft.py` - executable Python kernel for a balanced-ternary boundary-transducer calculus.
- `WEFT_SYNTHESIS.md` - synthesis report reconciling YAO and YiDelta into WEFT.
- `VALIDATION.md` - local verification of archive contents, hashes, compile status, and demo behavior.
- `IMPRESSIONS_APPLICATION_MAP.md` - concrete ways WEFT can be put to work in Impressions.

## Evidence Status

WEFT is a new intake artifact, not part of the original `00`-`05` freeze evidence set and not part of the 2026-06-12 forward synthesis. Treat it with these labels:

- `[HEX]` - claims directly present in `HEX.zip`.
- `[OBSERVED]` - behavior verified locally from `weft.py`.
- `[REC]` - integration recommendation or product/architecture inference.
- `[OPEN]` - promising claim that needs formalization, tests, or product validation before becoming a build contract.

## Intake Verdict

WEFT is not just a naming layer. It ships as a runnable exploratory kernel with:

- phasor-backed line state plus derived ternary/binary views;
- per-tick observable `Event` records;
- Markov-blanket partitioning through read/write/internal fields;
- cell, tissue, and one-level nesting mechanics;
- a coherence-rank guard and Motzkin/Catalan census check.

The current kernel is strong enough to use as a research/prototyping primitive. It is not yet a production runtime. The fastest production-intent path is to harden it into a spec, fixture suite, and Rust/Android-portable state machine before binding it to live Impressions user flows.
