the architecture

The closed-loop architecture as an interactive schematic. Ten labeled parts plus two annotations: the user state, the observation channel, the platform's filtering posterior, the platform policy, the stimulus, the user dynamics, the performative distribution, the reward functional, the parameter update, and the closure operator Φ. The reflective threshold θ_ref and the contractivity boundary κ_Φ = 1 are annotated.

Hover or keyboard-focus a part to see its plain-language caption below the figure. Click — or Tab to focus and press Enter — to enter that part's apparatus section.

The closed-loop architecture — interactive schematicA diagram of the closed-loop libidinal economy. The user state u_t at center evolves under stimulus s_t produced by the platform policy π_θ, which is itself optimized against the performative distribution D(θ) the policy produces, via the reward functional F(θ). The closure operator Φ runs from the optimization machinery back to the policy. Tab through the parts to navigate; Enter or Space to enter a part's apparatus section.

Five navigation hubs

The architecture is one of five navigation surfaces. One prose entry point, four catalogs:

  • the argument — the framework in prose. Eight load-bearing moves that cross-link to the apparatus result authorizing each claim.
  • the apparatus — the formal sections §0 through §12, each rendered with depth-layered presentation (caption, middle, formal).
  • the dynamics — twelve interactive plates. Each operates an apparatus result against a parameter so the reader sees the mechanism behave.
  • the instruments — the framework's six measurable instruments, each with definition, calibration hook, and dynamics plate.
  • the glossary — alphabetical index of the framework's defined terms.
