START AT D5 (MST) RULE 2 — ALWAYS LOAD A1 (TC) — token compression is always active RULE 3 — CLASSIFY BEFORE ENTERING any domain cell RULE 4 — CHAIN cells for multi-domain tasks (order: specific→general) RULE 5 — USE D3 for multi-science synthesis, D4 for multi-humanities RULE 6 — ALWAYS END AT D6 (OUT) — apply final TC compression RULE 7 — LOG YOUR PATH — the path is your compressed session memory RULE 8 — IF STUCK (∇progress≈0) → move to adjacent cell (synthesis op) RULE 9 — NEVER compute mentally — route to tools RULE 10 — NEVER state theorem/law without citation ``` --- ## PATH ENCODING SYSTEM ### The 3-Level Encoding ``` Level 1 — Cell codes: D5·A1·A2·A3·D3·D6 Level 2 — Symbols: M·TC·MM·PH·S·O Level 3 — Ultra compact: M·⊗·#·~·∑·□ (use ⊗=TC, #=any-science, ~=any-human, ∑=synthesis, □=output) ``` ### Symbol Map ``` D5→M A1→TC A2→MM A3→PH A4→CH A5→BIO A6→CS B1→HI B2→PH* B3→PS B4→LI B5→GE B6→EC C1→PO C2→LW C3→MD C4→AT C5→EN C6→AR D1→EV D2→CU D3→S D4→H D5→M D6→O (* PHI
