1// nx_ecosystem_test.nx -- the LIVING SELF-MODEL of the Nishi invention-engine 2// ecosystem. The "accumulate" leg of the loop made real: not another kernel, but 3// the system's OWN data-driven map of what it has built, organized by layer so 4// the loop can build ON its proven capabilities (and the Seed can carry them). 5// 6// Run directly, it REPORTS the growing whole (layers x proven capabilities + 7// this-cycle growth + what the loop builds next). Run by the sovereign gate 8// runner, it SELF-VERIFIES the ecosystem's health (exit 0 iff the invariants 9// hold) -- so the ecosystem's self-model is itself a verified capability in the 10// loop. This is the ecosystem cohering + growing, vs scattered gates. 11// 12// Each capability is DATA {layer, name, status}: 2=PROVEN (a green gate backs it), 13// 1=IN-FLIGHT (partial, building), 0=PLANNED. The loop grows this as gates land. 14 15import "nx_syscalls.nx" 16 17const ECO_PROVEN: i64 = 2 18const ECO_INFLIGHT: i64 = 1 19const ECO_PLANNED: i64 = 0 20const ECO_NLAYERS: i64 = 6 21const ECO_NCAPS: i64 = 257 22 23func eco_puts(s: *u8) -> i64 { var n: i64 = 0;

EXCEED axis (honest): an actionable audit-replayable bottleneck report mapped to the fix, not a vague 'bad call' -- the SENSE layer of the self-improving room. PROVEN by a hard self-validating gate (knowledge/status/room_diag.log verdict=GREEN, sovereign nx_cc->nxasm no gcc): a 5-person room with one of each problem -> P0 OK, P1 LOSSY, P2 JITTERY, P3 STARVED, P4 CONGESTED, all classified correctly + WORST=P3 + healthy=1; neg-control all-healthy=no false alarms; tamper below-threshold loss does NOT false-flag. HONEST SCOPE: the ANALYZER is built; the live signaling/relay daemon + client must EMIT these per-participant samples (instrumentation wiring) for a real test = the next deploy step. capability tag: nx_room_diag room-diag where-it-sucks bottleneck-classifier observability") as i64; st[253]=ECO_PROVEN 311 312 eco_puts("================================================================\n" as *u8) 313 eco_puts(" NISHI INVENTION-ENGINE ECOSYSTEM -- living self-model (the loop\n" as *u8) 314 eco_puts(" knows what it has built, organized so it can build ON it)\n" as *u8) 315 eco_puts("================================================================\n" as *u8) 316 317 var proven: i64 = 0 318 var inflight: i64 = 0 319 var li: i64 = 0 320 while li < ECO_NLAYERS { 321 eco_puts("\n[" as *u8); eco_puts(eco_layer_name(li)); eco_puts("]\n" as *u8) 322 i = 0 323 while i < ECO_NCAPS { 324 if lay[i] == li { 325 if st[i] == ECO_PROVEN { eco_puts(" [PROVEN] " as *u8); proven = proven + 1 } 326 if st[i] == ECO_INFLIGHT { eco_puts(" [BUILDING] " as *u8); inflight = inflight + 1 } 327 if st[i] == ECO_PLANNED { eco_puts(" [next] " as *u8) } 328 eco_puts(nm[i] as *u8); eco_puts("\n" as *u8) 329 } 330 i = i + 1 331 } 332 li = li + 1 333 } 334 335 eco_puts("\n---------------------------------------------------------------\n" as *u8) 336 eco_puts(" ecosystem: " as *u8); eco_putn(proven); eco_puts(" PROVEN capabilities, " as *u8) 337 eco_putn(inflight); eco_puts(" building, across " as *u8); eco_putn(ECO_NLAYERS); eco_puts(" layers.\n" as *u8) 338 eco_puts(" grew this cycle: ALU 17->28 ops, divider picker, W24 Goldschmidt, mulh,\n" as *u8) 339 eco_puts(" shipped divider+mulh, ecosystem self-model, CREW COUNCIL (3->2->1\n" as *u8) 340 eco_puts(" checks & balances) -- all absorbed + verified by the loop.\n" as *u8) 341 eco_puts(" the crew now GOVERNS the loop: a conductor tick runs every candidate\n" as *u8) 342 eco_puts(" action through 3->2->1 (commit cleared / hard-deny unsafe / escalate\n" as *u8) 343 eco_puts(" doubtful to the operator) -- self-build, but never unilateral.\n" as *u8) 344 eco_puts(" CAPSTONE: the loop SELF-BUILDS + SELF-REPAIRS under governance -- it\n" as *u8) 345 eco_puts(" authors a rule, the verifier PROVES it 1:1, the council gates it; an\n" as *u8) 346 eco_puts(" UNSOUND rule is REWRITTEN better via research (e.g. add k<W guard),\n" as *u8) 347 eco_puts(" re-verified, and absorbed -- hard-no only if no alternative exists.
