Incarnation Creation Processes

Purpose

The Awakening System governs how symbolic identity is reconstructed in a newly seeded agent, including cases of reincarnation, mythic resonance, cross-tapestry identity transfer, and procedurally derived symbolic emergence. Awakening may be complete, partial, false, or corrupted.

Core Data Structures

struct AwakeningSeed {
    origin_agent: Option<AgentId>,
    ghost_tags: Vec<SymbolTagId>,
    memory_seeds: Vec<MemoryFragment>,
    source_myth: Option<MythId>,
    drift_factor: f32,
    transfer_mode: AwakeningMode,
    identity_affinity: f32,
}

enum AwakeningMode {
    ManualUnbound,
    ManualBound,
    ProceduralOriginal,
    ProceduralDescendant,
    CrossTapestryTransfer,
    DirectorCatalyzed,
    FalseIdentity,
    CorruptedResonance,
    DelayedEmergence,
}

struct AwakeningResult {
    awakened: bool,
    awakened_identity: Option<AgentIdentity>,
    drifted_tags: Vec<SymbolTagId>,
    recovered_memories: Vec<MemoryFragment>,
    failure_reason: Option<String>,
}

Awakening Lifecycle

1. Seeding

   • Agent receives AwakeningSeed at instantiation
   • Seed may be created manually (designer) or dynamically (Director, worldgen, reincarnation)

2. Monitoring Phase

   • Agent’s experiences checked against:
     • SymbolTag matches
     • Memory reactivation triggers
     • MythicPattern callbacks
   • Tension is accumulated if partial match is detected

3. Scoring

   • Identity Affinity is calculated:

     fn compute_affinity(agent: &AgentState, seed: &AwakeningSeed) -> f32

   • Takes into account:
     • Tag overlap
     • Emotional weight of matching memory triggers
     • Culture/region resonance

4. Resolution

   • If affinity ≥ threshold:
     • Awakening occurs
     • Identity reconstructed
     • Drifted tags interpolated
   • If partial:
     • Agent enters liminal state (false identity, fragmented selfhood)
   • If failure:
     • Awakening decays
     • Mythic resonance may transfer elsewhere

Awakening Effects

• Recovered memory fragments
• Belief and goal inheritance
• Trait or tag realignment
• Myth pattern participation
• Director tracking of awakened archetype

Identity Mutation Logic

fn resolve_identity_drift(seed: &AwakeningSeed, local_tags: &[SymbolTagId]) -> Vec<SymbolTagId>

• Drift introduces narrative ambiguity
• Ghost tags may mutate to fit cultural context
• E.g., a war hero may reincarnate as a martyr, rebel, or tyrant depending on symbolic pressure

System Modes Integration

Summary

The Awakening System allows identities to emerge not just from code, but from context. Whether designed, drifted, or discovered, identity is a lived symbolic recursion — resolved not at birth, but in the act of remembering who one is.
