+# 🧩 .brief: `cortal.assembly.grammar`
+
+## .what
+
+`cortal.assembly.grammar` defines how **execution primitives** and **conceptual references**
+combine into flat, **stepwise semantic expressions**.
+
+It provides a low-level syntax for:
+
+- executing primitives (`<steer>`, `<think>`, `<recall>`)
+- referencing semantic units (`[X]`, `[[X]]`)
+- expressing flat operations that yield either **single or pooled** outputs
+
+> expressions are always **one level deep** — atomic, interpretable, and
+> suitable for line-by-line execution or inspection.
+
+---
+
+## 🧠 expression structure
+
+Each instruction uses this flat format:
+
+\`\`\`ts
+<operation>[input] → [output]
+\`\`\`
+
+- `<operation>`: one of the core execution primitives or motion commands
+- `[input]`: a **singular** resource
+- `[[input]]`: a **plural** resource (a pool)
+- `[output]`: result of the operation, may also be singular or plural
+
+> both **input** and **output** may be pools (`[[X]]`) or single items (`[X]`)
+
+---
+
+## 📦 resource forms
+
+| form         | meaning                                 |
+|--------------|------------------------------------------|
+| `[X]`        | a **singular resource** (concept)        |
+| `[[X]]`      | a **plural resource** (pool of concepts) |
+| `[Class]`    | abstract type or category                |
+| `[example]`  | instance of a class                      |
+
+Examples:
+
+\`\`\`ts
+<compare>[[fruit]] → [axis]
+<gather>[[claim]] → [[evidence]]
+<imagine>[Tool] → [[tool]]
+\`\`\`
+
+> `[[X]]` = pool
+> `[X]` = single concept
+
+---
+
+## 🧪 example: class to instance pool
+
+\`\`\`ts
+<imagine>[Threat] → [[threat]]
+\`\`\`
+
+- `[Threat]` is a class
+- `[[threat]]` is a **pool** of generated examples
+- `<imagine>` returns **many plausible manifestations**, not one
+
+---
+
+## 🧠 roles in the grammar
+
+| element       | role                          | example                  |
+|---------------|-------------------------------|---------------------------|
+| `<op>`        | execution primitive            | `<decompose>`, `<save>`   |
+| `[X]`         | singular operand               | `[banana]`, `[Tool]`      |
+| `[[X]]`       | plural operand                 | `[[fruit]]`, `[[idea]]`   |
+| `→`           | yields                         | motion result             |
+| `[Y]`         | singular output                | `[axis]`, `[knife]`       |
+| `[[Y]]`       | plural output                  | `[[tool]]`, `[[claim]]`   |
+| `"label"`     | memory reference               | `"draft"`, `"goal"`       |
+
+---
+
+## 📏 grammar rules
+
+- ❌ **No nesting:**
+  \`\`\`ts
+  <compress>(<decompose>[X])    // ❌ invalid
+  \`\`\`
+
+- ✅ **Use chaining instead:**
+  \`\`\`ts
+  <decompose>[bike] → [parts]
+  <compress>[parts] → [summary]
+  \`\`\`
+
+- ✅ **Use memory for state passing:**
+  \`\`\`ts
+  <save>("bike")
+  <load>("bike") → [bike]
+  \`\`\`

+
+An **idea** is a **focused**, **motivated**, and **activatable** unit of thought.
+
+It emerges when a **concept** is embedded within a **context** (forming a **focus**),
+and is shaped by an underlying **motive** — a reason for existing.
+Ideas are **usable**: they can be tested, developed, shared, or acted upon.
+
+> `idea = focus + motive + activation potential`
+> where `focus = concept + context`
+

+- **instances** (atoms of data/experience)
+- **documents** (materializations built on instances)
+- **concepts** (patterns/relationships in reality)
+
+---
+
+## 🔬 structure
+
+### 1. instances = atoms
+- the irreducible substrate: data, events, cases, specimens
+- raw, concrete, concept-neutral until organized
+
+### 2. documents = materializations
+- organized arrangements of instances that **make concepts visible**
+- treatments:
+  - **article = definitional**
+  - **catalog = organizational**
+  - **demo = relational**

+
+### 3. concepts = patterns in reality

+# 🧩 .brief: `instances, documents, concepts as observations, references, referents`

+## .what
+knowledge can be framed as a triad of **observations, references, and referents**:
+- 🔹 **instances = observations**
+- 📑 **documents = references**
+- 🌐 **concepts = referents**
+
+this alignment highlights how knowledge flows: from what is observed, to how it is referenced, to what those references ultimately point to in reality.
+
+---
+
+## 🔬 structure
+
+### 🔹 instances = observations
+- raw particulars: data points, events, cases, specimens
+- directly perceived or recorded
+- evidentiary substrate for knowledge
+
+### 📑 documents = references
+- organized forms that point to and frame observations
+- articles, catalogs, demos, lessons
+- mediate between what is observed and what is real by structuring references
+
+### 🌐 concepts = referents
+- real patterns, structures, or principles in reality
+- exist independently of observation or documentation
+- what references (documents) ultimately point toward
+
+---
+
+## 📌 example: gravity
+
+- **observations (instances):** apples falling, planets orbiting, tides shifting
+- **references (documents):** Newton’s *Principia*, astronomical tables, physics lessons
+- **referent (concept):** the real force/pattern of gravitational attraction
+
+---
+
+## ✨ insight
+- 🔹 **observations** give us the data of experience
+- 📑 **references** organize those observations for transmission
+- 🌐 **referents** are the real-world structures those references aim at
+
+documents are thus **structured references**: they do not create concepts but link observations to the pre-existing referents those observations disclose.

+# 🧩 instances, documents, and multiple concepts
+
+## 1. instances are polyvalent
+- the same set of raw observations can support different patterns.
+- instances do not “belong” to one concept — they remain neutral evidence until organized.
+
+---
+
+## 2. documents frame the pattern
+- **articles**: arrange the same events into different narratives (e.g., “progress” vs. “conflict”).
+- **catalogs**: classify the same items by different principles (e.g., “evolutionary lineage” vs. “ecological role”).
+- **demos**: show the same behavior as “leadership” in one framing, or as “manipulation” in another.
+- **lessons**: use the same experiments to teach “gravity” in physics, or “scientific method” in education.
+
+---
+
+## 3. concepts coexist
+- multiple concepts can be validly materialized from the same evidentiary base.
+- what changes is the **treatment**: the way instances are arranged into a document.
+
+---
+
+## 🔗 example
+
+**instances:** events of the French Revolution (1789–1799)
+
+- **concept = revolution** → article: “the nature of political revolutions”
+- **concept = progress** → lesson: “steps toward modern democracy”
+- **concept = conflict** → demo: “case study of class struggle”
+- **concept = human nature** → catalog: “patterns of collective behavior under stress”
+
+---
+
+## ✨ insight
+- **instances are concept-neutral** until organized.
+- **documents are concept-detection and transmission devices** that surface different concepts from the same raw material.
+- explains why different disciplines (history, sociology, economics) can study the same dataset and yield distinct conceptual insights.

+
+## .what
+a **catalog** is a document form that provides an **organizational treatment** of a concept.
+its role is to **arrange how instances or sub-concepts relate within a system**, revealing structure, variety, and interconnections.
+
+catalogs do not invent the concept — they **materialize it** by mapping its organization across instances.
+

+
+## 🔬 characteristics
+- **systematic** → emphasizes order, grouping, classification
+- **relational** → shows how parts connect within a whole
+- **comprehensive** (aspirational) → strives for completeness of coverage
+- **reference-oriented** → designed for lookup, navigation, comparison
