🔬 IV. EMERGENCE: rules as firm capital
Summary
Emergence is the primary place to calibrate laws: business labels (ontology overrides), idea chain, directive, and simulation before publish. A correction started from Presence lands here with context (agent, idea, rule, action reference, reason).
Lab mode: strategic usage
- Cadence: about 1 hour per month, or when regulation changes.
- Goal: evolve firm rigor, not process daily flow.
- Expected outcome: stronger and transferable business rules.
Emergence complements the Presence cockpit:
- Contextual editing — drafted rule, verbs, linked ideas, directive; labels shown in Presence follow these overrides (canonical ids remain for audit).
- Simulation — controlled space to test behavior before real execution.
- Handoff from Presence — explicit banner and reusable reason when you correct after a rejection.
Intangible firm asset
- Durable capitalization: published business laws remain in the engine even as teams change.
- Know-how transfer: onboarding accelerates because operating rules are already formalized.
- Firm ownership: you document for controlled execution, not for shelfware.
Guarantee
The draft ➜ simulation ➜ publish path stays auditable; humans remain the final authority on which laws apply.
