Intent to
governed plan.
Describe what should be true, not a workflow. Organism organizes formations to explore possible plans. Competition and Huddle can support alternative attempts, including parallel attempts with different resources or approaches.
Express outcomes, inspect evidence, and exercise explicit authority.
helms.zoneDescribe what should be true in Truth specs and check the specification.
axioms.zoneExplore alternative plans through formations, review, and recorded attempts.

converge.zoneFrom desired outcome to a reviewed proposal.
This illustrative planning path includes admission, decomposition, Huddle, review, and simulation. Its final step submits a proposal; it does not grant authority to commit.
A plan meets skeptics before it reaches the engine.
Five kinds of skepticism put candidate plans under pressure: assumptions, constraints, causal effects, economics, and operations. Rejected proposals and their evidence remain in history, even when they no longer belong in the current selection.

Findings
Outcomes improve later plans, not authority.
Compare expected and actual outcomes, then revise the shared model for later attempts. Recording an episode alone is not learning. New knowledge does not rewrite an existing commitment or erase an unsuccessful attempt.
Illustrative episodes
Revise the shared model
It does not rewrite commitments.
Zero, one, or several attempts may reach a favorable fixed point: a stable result that meets the declared outcome and evidence requirements. If none does, record what happened and try a changed budget, formation, or approach. Selection and authorized commitment are separate steps.
Four layers. Organism is the intelligence layer.
Helm
Control surface
Where operators describe outcomes, inspect evidence, and exercise authority.
helms.zoneAxiom
Specification layer
Checks Truth specs without granting authority or proving the desired outcome.
axioms.zoneOrganism
Intelligence layer
Organizes reasoning, alternative attempts, review, and learning through formations.
organism.zoneConverge
Convergence kernel
The low-level contract for shared context, facts, authority boundaries, and promotions.
converge.zoneRuntime-Runway supplies surrounding capabilities such as messaging and storage. The composed environment can be understood as an operating system for intent; Converge alone is its kernel.
Selecting a plan does not bind the organization without an explicit mandate. Converge enforces the authority boundary.
