v2 code-style deployed to all 7 watchers
Next: Evaluate March 16 code-style heuristic output across all watchers, iterate format
4/8
✓ Concept doc (HEURISTICS-FORMAT.md) (2026-03-13) ✓ v1 YAML format in watcher SPECs (2026-03-13) ✓ v2 code-style format designed (2026-03-15) ✓ Deployed to all 7 watcher crons (2026-03-15) ○ First code-style output evaluated ○ Heuristic accumulation library ○ Agent loading + behavioral measurement ○ Published as standalone paper/spec

v1 was YAML (readable but looked like prose). v2 is pseudocode with braces, dot notation, comparison operators — visually distinct as machine code. The claim: research needs a publication layer for agent cognition, not just human readers.

The Fork (proposed experiment)

call_splitSubstrate Identity

Hypothesis: fork one agent into two substrates. Does identity follow the files or the model?
