1// nx_compare_rank.nx -- THE ROADMAP RANKER: priority computed from the boards, never chosen by a seat.
2//
3// Operator 2026-08-18: "we need sota best of breed prioritization and ranking from the foundation first
4// bit up in our compares to drive our roadmaps ... it needs to push back on your random doing of low
5// priorities" and "we cant keep having you do random shit and say its effective". A seat picking rungs
6// by whatever is cheapest with parts in-tree is the defect; this organ makes the compare COMPUTE the
7// order from data the boards already carry and PUBLISH it where every seat, MCP caller and RACI row
8// reads it. It decides nothing itself: the math is nx_dr_ocm (DR-6 opportunity-cost ranker,
9// Priority=(V*M)/C, integer deterministic -- REGISTERED-DARK until today, adopted here) and the plane
10// write is nx_store_put; this organ only DERIVES the three inputs per open rung, all from data:
11//
12// THE MATHEMATICS (v5, 2026-08-18 -- operator: "a full mathematical system on opportunity cost,
13// clustering, foundation-up capabilities, best-of-breed research as of August 2026", not a seat's
14// coefficients). Every term is COUNTED or a RATIO of board data; the only chosen constant left is
15// RANK_COST_UNKNOWN and it fires only on a plan row that declared no cost (a labeled data defect).
16// value v = deficit + CoD + option + enables (all from matrix codes + dep rows)
17// deficit = sum of rival codes on the rung's row (2 leads, 1 present, 0 absent): value at stake
18// CoD = deficit x (rivals LEADING / rivals total): WSJF cost-of-delay -- the fraction of the
19// field already ahead is the time-criticality; every unit open, that many rivals widen it
20// option = 1, ONLY when every rival is absent: the lead itself, held by nobody -- its unlocking
21// value is already the enables leg below (one leg each; a v5 draft double-charged it)
22// enables = number of OTHER open rungs whose transitive dependency closure contains this rung:
23// the foundation-first / opportunity-enablement leg (WSJF) and the compound-option leg
24// (real-options portfolio theory), counted from dep rows
25// momentum m = 1 + declared dependencies already MEASURED present (substrate landed; never 0 because
26// nx_dr_ocm multiplies and a zero would hide the rung)
27// cost c = the plan's own est u in tenths, DIVIDED by the rung's cluster size (open rungs sharing
28// the same organ file share substrate: read once, one build lane, one gate to extend --
29// graph clustering on the organ column, measured never labelled); unestimated -> labeled
30// sponsor = the operator's sponsor- plane coefficient (PR6), applied to value, every firing row named
31// priority = nx_dr_ocm( v x sponsor, m, c ) = (V x M x 1000)/C with forgone-best-alternative and
32// budget-aware greedy selection (DR-6, integer deterministic)
33// critical path: the FIRST unmet product version's milestone rungs + transitive open deps rank
34// before everything else (ver| rows) -- staged delivery 0.1 -> 1.0 -> 2.0.
35// Provenance: WSJF/cost-of-delay (SAFe LPM), real-options R&D portfolio valuation with project
36// interdependencies (Blau et al.; OptFolio-class DSS), integer-programming portfolio selection under
37// budget (knapsack form -- dr_ocm's greedy is the bounded-effort stand-in), dependency-graph enablement.
38// pmdash.refs carries the citations. What is NOT here, honestly: uncertainty distributions (PTRS-style
39// success probabilities per rung) -- the estate has no measured per-rung success rate yet; PR7's
40// actuals-write-back is the data that makes that term possible, and it will be added when the data
41// exists rather than invented now.
42//
43// The output is the PRINTED TABLE (every rung's full derivation, v/m/c and where each came from, so the
44// number can be argued from its inputs) plus ONE PLANE ROW per domain in comparerank-<domain>:
45// id=<domain>, title=the #1 rung, status=its priority, scope=the #1 rung id, note=the ordered queue.
46// One row = one segment commit; a per-rung row was measured stalling the fleet in D-state on
47// 2026-08-18 (syscalls per unit of output, §F). Whole population per domain, no sampling.

322// Operator 2026-08-20: "where would be the best investment that drives the most self sufficiency
323// down". Recorded interpretation (feedback-foundation-and-autonomous-frontier-2026-08-20): drive
324// outside DEPENDENCY down / sovereignty UP. A rung whose organ stands on outside dependency delivers
325// a capability that does not survive the internet going away, or that only exists while a seat drives
326// it -- and rule 1 of that same memo says such a rung is MISPRICED, not merely noted. So the price
327// changes here, in the ranker, rather than on a separate board nobody consults.
328//
329// Input: nx_selfsuff's ledger (knowledge/status/selfsuff.ledger, or argv[3]), rows
330// dep|domain|organ|outside_dep|seat_only|seat_freq|claude_loop|hosts
331// Only TWO of those columns feed the coefficient, and the exclusion is measured, not stylistic:
332// outside_dep -- distinct non-sovereign hosts the organ dials in string literals, plus distinct
333// carriers it touches at ONE HOP. Sparse, RE-MEASURED 2026-08-20 against the fixed
334// census (the 90-of-556 figure this line used to carry came from a build that no
335// longer exists): 33 of 560 with-source organs carry ANY measured dependency --
336// 26 outside_dep units + 18 claude_loop organs = 44 dependency units.
337// ⚠ The ledger also now carries a TRANSITIVE net_dep column (0 none / 1 direct /
338// 2 via-helper). It is DELIBERATELY NOT read here: it answers "what breaks with no
339// internet", which is a different question from "how much outside dependency does
340// this rung stand on", and folding it in would re-price every rung in the estate
341// off the back of a measurement change rather than a decision.
342// claude_loop -- seat_only AND a WITNESS frame in the action record. Evidence-positive.
343// seat_only -- DELIBERATELY NOT USED. Measured at 92% of subjects, and A SIGNAL THAT FIRES ON
344// EVERYTHING DISCRIMINATES NOTHING; as a penalty it would demote nearly every rung
345// by the same amount, which is a no-op on ordering wearing the costume of rigour.
346//
347// THERE ARE NO CHOSEN WEIGHTS, on purpose -- there is no number here for a later seat to tune toward
348// a nicer answer:
349// SELFSUFF_BASE = SPONSOR_BASE's quarter vocabulary. ONE coefficient scale in this organ, not two.
350// SELFSUFF_FLOOR = the sponsor term's floor, for the sponsor term's reason: a zeroed value HIDES a
351// rung from the ranking, and a demotion must stay VISIBLE.
352// SELFSUFF_PEN_CAP = SELFSUFF_BASE - SELFSUFF_FLOOR. Not a knob: any larger value is unreachable
353// because the floor clamps first, and any smaller one would make the floor
354// unreachable, silently capping the term below its own vocabulary.
355//
