-# 🎯 .brief: cortal.focus
-
-## .what
-**Cortal focus** is the directional beam of your cognitive attention — a **semantic lightcone** that shines outward from a chosen **conceptual core**, illuminating a structured region of concept space.
-
-It operates over a **concept.treestruct** (spherical RootStruct), using geometric parameters to determine:
-
-- **how far** you reach (`focal.depth`)
-- **how wide** you sweep (`focal.breadth`)
-- **how crisply** you resolve (`focal.acuity`)
-
-> Focus is defined **from the relative perspective**:
-> you stand at a local concept core and shine your attention outward into the conceptual terrain.
-
----
-
-## 🧩 focus = position + posture
-
-Cortal focus is composed of:
-
-- **focus.concept** = **position** → the **anchor concept**, your current location in the semantic structure
-- **focus.context** = **posture** → the **shape of your attention** — how your focus is distributed across depth, breadth, and acuity
-
----
-
-## 🌐 where is focus?
-
-The terrain is a **spherical concept.treestruct**, where:
-
-- **nodes** = concepts
-- **links** = **relationships between concepts**, defined as **questions**
-  → each link is a **semantic prompt** — a concept temporarily narrowed into a relationship
-- space = infinite, recursive, intersective
-
-From your **anchor concept**, you emit a cone of attention shaped by:
-
-- **radial** → abstraction axis (generalizations ⇄ instances)
-- **angular** → descriptive axis (flavor, tone, function)
-
-Your cone of focus slices through this terrain like a lightbeam through mist —
-defining what is **seen**, **resolved**, and **reachable**.
-
----
-
-## 🔦 lightbeam geometry
-
-Cortal focus is a **radial cone** emitted from your current concept:
-
-- `focal.depth` → radial span of semantic layers reached
-- `focal.breadth` → angular spread of included neighbor concepts
-- `focal.acuity` → resolution sharpness per concept node
-
-The shape of your focus is not a perfect ring — it’s an **irregular patch of included neighbors**, carved from the TreeStruct by your current attentional configuration.
-
----
-
-## 📏 focal dimensions
-
-### 🔬 `focal.acuity`
-
-- **what:** semantic resolution at the current concept
-- **effect:** fine-grained traits vs holistic blobs
-- **metaphor:** lens sharpness or pixel density
-- **behavior:**
-  - `.attributes++` = sharper external traits
-  - `.substructs++` = clearer internal structure
-  - `acuity--` = surface-only, low-resolution forms
-
----
-
-### 🔭 `focal.breadth`
-
-- **what:** angular span across same-depth semantic neighbors
-- **effect:** narrow vs broad comparative view
-- **metaphor:** beam width or search cone
-- **behavior:**
-  - `breadth++` = includes more neighboring concepts
-  - `breadth--` = isolates one or few nodes
-  - breadth ≠ a ring; it's a **nonuniform sweep of neighbors** in TreeStruct
-
----
-
-### 🕳️ `focal.depth`
-
-- **what:** radial thickness of abstraction/specialization layers
-- **effect:** surface detail vs multilevel integration
-- **metaphor:** light penetration into a semantic sphere
-- **behavior:**
-  - `depth.abstract++` = include more generalizations (inward)
-  - `depth.concrete++` = include more specific instances (outward)
-  - both expanding = `depth++` radial shell of abstraction
-  - `depth--` = tighter slice around your current layer
-  - depth is **relative** to anchor, not a fixed universal level
-
----
-
-## 📐 compositional tradeoffs
-
-\`\`\`
-focal.depth × focal.acuity² ∝ focal.breadth²
-\`\`\`
-
-This expresses the tradeoff between **vertical integration**, **horizontal scope**, and **local resolution**:
-
-- `depth` = radial span of abstraction/specialization
-- `breadth²` = angular sweep of peer concepts
-- `acuity²` = pixel density per concept
-
-> Holding any two constant requires tradeoff with the third.
-> You can’t max all three without overload or blur.
-
----
-
-### 🎛️ cognitive tuning patterns
-
-- `depth.abstract++` + `acuity--` → broad but imprecise vertical insight
-- `acuity++` + `breadth++` → sharp lateral comparison across peers
-- `depth--` + `acuity++` → zoomed-in detail
-- `breadth++` + `acuity--` → conceptual sweep, low precision
-- `depth++` + `breadth++` + `acuity++` → **unsustainable semantic load**
-
-→ Adjust based on whether you're scanning, designing, comparing, teaching, etc.
-
----
-
-## 🧭 relative traversal
-
-From any anchor (e.g. `"banana"`), you navigate concept space via:
-
-- `<generalize>` → "banana" → "fruit" → "organism"
-- `<contrast>` → "banana" ↔ "apple" ↔ "mango"
-- `<decompose>` → "banana" → "peeled banana" → "sliced banana"
-- `<reframe>` → "banana" ↔ "crescent shape" ↔ "moon"
-
-All traversal motions arise from **questions-as-links** —
-concepts narrowed into **semantic relationships** that enable motion.
-Each traversal is an **executable prompt**, and each destination is a **sumption** — possibly another question.
-
-> Focus behaves like a **steerable beam**, shaped by intent, strategy, and available structure.
-
----
-
-## 🧵 focus.context as fabric
-
-`focus.context` is a **composite of semantic fabrics** —
-each fabric a `concept.treestruct` modeling a contextual dimension (e.g. time, intent, role).
-
-\`\`\`ts
-focus.context = Σ fabric[x]
-\`\`\`
-
-This layered weave defines how your anchor is interpreted.
-
-| fabric         | models...        | sample values           |
-|----------------|------------------|--------------------------|
-| `fabric.time`  | temporal frame   | `future`, `ongoing`      |
-| `fabric.intent`| motivation       | `goal`, `plan`, `urge`   |
-| `fabric.role`  | identity         | `agent`, `observer`      |
-
-> 🧠 context = **mesh of treestructs**, not a flat state
-> motion can traverse

-# 🔬 .brief: `cortal.focal.acuity`
-
-## .what
-**cortal.focal.acuity** governs the **semantic resolution** of each concept in focus —
-how **granular**, **precisely attributed**, and **internally resolved** the concept representation is.
-
-It determines how much **inner detail** your focus resolves per concept node within the spherical `concept.treestruct`.
-
----
-
-## 🧠 how it works
-
-Acuity controls resolution across **two semantic layers**:
-
-- `.attributes` — surface traits, labels, and descriptive features
-- `.substructs` — internal parts, components, or embedded structures
-
-Both can be modulated independently or jointly depending on the task.
-
-#### acuity scale:
-
-- `acuity++` → high resolution
-  - many dimensions resolved: features, internals, edge cases
-  - e.g. for [concept:"hammer"]:
-    - `.attributes`: `head.mass`, `handle.material`, `grip.type`
-    - `.substructs`: `core.fusion`, `shock.channeling.structure`
-
-- `acuity--` → low resolution
-  - coarse, holistic representations
-  - e.g. just “thing you hit with”
-
-Acuity operates **independently** of:
-- `focal.depth`: how many layers of abstraction are included
-- `focal.breadth`: how many peer concepts are viewed
-
----
-
-## 🔦 metaphor: optical focus
-
-- high acuity = **sharp lens**
-  - captures semantic edges, traits, and inner systems
-  - like increasing megapixels on a single node
-
-- low acuity = **blurry filter**
-  - sees general shape, label, or purpose
-  - useful for rapid categorization or zoomed-out navigation
-
----
-
-## 📐 composition tradeoff
-
-\```
-focal.depth × focal.acuity² ∝ focal.breadth²
-\```
-
-Because acuity is squared, it's **computationally expensive** —
-high acuity demands either larger breadth or shallower depth to avoid overload.
-
----
-
-## 🧪 examples
-
-### 🐶 [concept:"dog"]
-
-- `acuity--`: “a furry animal that barks”
-- `acuity++`:
-  - `.attributes`: `breed.type`, `coat.pattern`, `jaw.structure`
-  - `.substructs`: `muscle.groups`, `nervous.pathways`, `behavior.protocols`
-
----
-
-### 🔋 [concept:"battery"]
-
-- `acuity--`: “thing that stores energy”
-- `acuity++`:
-  - `.attributes`: `form.factor`, `charge.curve`, `voltage.stability`
-  - `.substructs`: `anode.stack`, `electrolyte.channel`, `thermal.fuse.logic`
-
----
-
-### 🪚 [concept:"handsaw"]
-
-- `acuity--`: “tool for cutting”
-- `acuity++`:
-  - `.attributes`: `tooth.pitch`, `blade.length`, `grip.material`
-  - `.substructs`: `core.flex.strata`, `fastener.joints`, `multi-bevel.edge`
-
----
-
-## 🎯 why acuity matters
-
-High acuity enables:
-
-- **precise design and modeling**
-- **deep diagnosis and troubleshooting**
-- **attribute-based comparison or distinction**
-
-Low acuity supports:
-
-- **rapid categorization**
-- **abstract reasoning and compression**
-- **broad or shallow semantic navigation**
-
----
-
-## 🔁 dynamic behavior
-
-Acuity is often **modulated during traversal**:
-
-- zoom in = `acuity++` to analyze traits and internals
-- zoom out = `acuity--` to generalize or jump layers
-
-It can also **vary per node**:
-- some neighbors are sharp and detailed
-- others remain fuzzy or holistically interpreted
-
----
-
-## ⚠️ caution: over-acuity
-
-Overfocusing can lead to:
-
-- irrelevant micromanagement
-- detail overload
-- failure to generalize
-
-Use acuity **intentionally** — zoom in with purpose, zoom out with perspective.
-
----
-
-## 🧰 use it for:
-
-- **design**, **diagnosis**, **teaching**, **analysis**
-- any task that requires distinguishing between **subtle traits** or **complex internal structures**

-# 🌐 .brief: `focal.breadth`
-
-## 🌐 what is `focal.breadth`?
-
-`focal.breadth` measures how **wide your attention spans** across the **semantic space**
-at a given level of abstraction. it governs how many **descriptive dimensions** are activated
-as you explore the meaning of a concept.
-
-it traverses **angularly along the descriptive axis** of the `concept.treestruct`
-(see: `concept.treestruct.axis.descriptive`).
-
----
-
-## 🧠 how it works
-
-- **angular motion** — moves around the same abstraction layer
-- enables **comparison**, **reframing**, and **semantic expansion**
-- does **not** change abstraction level — only which **kind** of variation is in view
-
-`focal.breadth` is always measured **relative to the current focal anchor** —
-it defines how many **descriptive neighbors** are included around a given concept.
-
----
-
-## 🧩 descriptive subaxes
-
-each direction of breadth corresponds to a **semantic axis of description**:
-these are the **orthogonal ways** a concept can differ from its peers.
-
-| subaxis          | description type             | example motion                           |
-|------------------|-------------------------------|-------------------------------------------|
-| **categorical**  | kind or class                 | `"dog"` ⟶ `"cat"`                         |
-| **temporal**     | sequence or state             | `"childhood"` ⟶ `"adulthood"`             |
-| **functional**   | purpose or behavior           | `"email"` ⟶ `"letter"`                    |
-| **potential**    | possibility or constraint     | `"can fly"` ⟶ `"must fly"`                |
-| **emotional**    | affective tone                | `"fear"` ⟶ `"curiosity"`                  |
-| **causal**       | influence or mechanism        | `"match"` ⟶ `"fire"`                      |
-| **subjective**   | point of view or role         | `"observer"` ⟶ `"actor"`                  |
-
-> ✅ `focal.breadth` controls **how many of these axes you're exploring at once**

-## ➕ genuine breadth operations
-
-| operation     | effect                                          |
-|---------------|-------------------------------------------------|
-| `breadth++`   | widen focus to include **more angular neighbors**
-| `breadth--`   | narrow the span of included peers
-
----
-
-## 🧠 traversal patterns
-
-These are **semantic maneuvers** that occur while navigating along a descriptive axis.
-They shape the **direction or structure** of traversal — not its total width.
-
-| pattern       | effect                                               |
-|----------------|------------------------------------------------------|
-| `compare`      | place multiple descriptive peers **side-by-side**
-| `contrast`     | emphasize one or more **salient differences**
-| `rotate`       | shift to a **different descriptive axis** (e.g. category ⟶ time)
-| `invert`       | flip a **semantic polarity** (e.g. agent ⟷ patient, fear ⟷ desire)
-| `reframe`      | recast a concept through a new interpretive lens
-| `extend`       | continue further along the **same descriptive axis**
-
----
-
-## 🔦 metaphor: shaped spotlight
-
-Focus acts like a **semantic spotlight**, sweeping across a **ring of descriptive variation**.
-But rather than lighting a perfect cone, it reveals a **shaped patch**, molded by:
-
-- query framing and cognitive bias
-- recognition, salience, or memory activation
-- active goals or task relevance
-
----
-
-## 🔁 interaction with other focus dimensions
-
-- at each `focal.depth`, the **descriptive space** around the concept
-  is governed by `focal.breadth` — which subaxes are activated, and how widely
-
-- **greater breadth** = more **dimensional context**, more analogies, more comparisons
-- **narrower breadth** = tighter conceptual focus, less noise
-
----
-
-## 📐 compositional tradeoff
-
-\```
-focal.depth × focal.acuity² ∝ focal.breadth²
-\```
-
-Because breadth is **quadratically costly**, high breadth limits:
-
-- depth of abstraction
-- sharpness of detail
-- overall focus stability
-
----
-
-## 🧭 traversal spectrum
-
-| breadth level     | description                                      |
-|-------------------|--------------------------------------------------|
-| **tight**         | immediate siblings only                          |
-| **medium**        | subtypes, cousins, variations                    |
-| **wide**          | analogies, cross-domain links                    |
-
-At wide angles, `breadth` may traverse **across descriptive subaxes** —
-e.g. from [concept:"dog"] → [concept:"robot"] via behavioral analogy, or → [concept:"wolf"] via categorical frame.
