Eight-phase progression and cross-phase observations

Progression structure, iteration cycles, and explicit cross-phase learning dependencies.

Section: ResearchEpistemic status: formalLast updated: February 11, 2026

Research progression timeline

  1. Phase I: logic primitives and truth-table equivalence.
  2. Phase II: temporal abstractions and delay-state behavior.
  3. Phase III: memory, control, and arithmetic composition.
  4. Phase IV: coordinated cascade timing and ordering constraints.
  5. Phase V: environmental coupling and feedback behavior.
  6. Phase VI: instruction sequencing and runtime state progression.
  7. Phase VII: compiler/AST-to-topology mapping constraints.
  8. Phase VIII: full-system integrated macrostate convergence.

Cross-phase observations

  1. Orthogonality sensitivity increases with cascade depth.
  2. Latency stacking becomes structurally significant starting in arithmetic and multi-stage control simulations.
  3. Memory gating introduces additional displacement layers and leak-risk surfaces.
  4. Arithmetic propagation chains preserve correctness but amplify cumulative delay.
  5. Instruction sequencing depends on strict ordering of trigger-strand availability.
