Anatomy + Organs
The SZL anatomy is a set of composable organs. Each organ is named for a precise Quechua common noun (or, where honestly labelled, an acronym/coinage), has one function, one formula, and one Lean stub that states its proof obligation in lutar-lean or the PURIQ suite (formulas/PuriqLean.lean). Every organ exposes the puriq.{decide, act, reflect} interface defined in Doctrine v12.
The master action-selection operator that ties them together is
Each organ below is a specialisation of this operator. Every extra factor lies in and is non-negative, so it can only shrink the gated region — never bypass a gate.

1 · Amaru — cortex
- Etymology: Quechua amaru = serpent.
- Function: memory cortex / high-stakes reasoning (a11oy.code PRIME tier). Action space = candidate multi-step reasoning plans over recalled memory.
- Formula (SF-01): a KL drift penalty regularises plans toward a calibrated reference —
The KL/Pinsker discipline is the v11 pinsker_kl_bound (Cover & Thomas §11.6).
- Lean stub:
Lutar/DPI/DPIBound.lean(pinsker_kl_bound); PURIQ factor informulas/PuriqLean.lean.
2 · Yuyay — heart
- Etymology: Quechua yuyay = thought / memory / wisdom.
- Function: the 13-axis heart (HEART tier). This is the admission gate — conjunctive AND, no compensation. Replay-hash anchor
bacf5443…631fc5. - Formula (SF-02): the gate is the indicator product over all 13 axes —
Five axes operationalise the Situated Wise Reasoning Scale (Brienza et al. 2018, JPSP).
- Lean stub: the conjunctive gate; obligations in
formulas/PuriqLean.lean. Kernel: 430 SLOC Pythonyuyay_v3.
3 · Yawar — blood
- Etymology: Quechua yawar = blood.
- Function: the circulatory receipt ledger (20 lines of Python; RUWAY is the only authorised writer). Action space = ledger-append actions, one per organ emission.
- Formula (SF-03): the chain-link indicator folds into the Khipu product —
Receipt rule: packet → json.dumps(sort_keys=True) → sha256 → hexdigest → append.
- Lean stub: chain-link obligation in
formulas/PuriqLean.lean; receipt rule in Doctrine v11 §4.
4 · Hukulla — immune
- Etymology: HUKLLA acronym — Hardened Unambiguous Kill-switch, Latch & Lineage Authority (an SZL acronym, labelled honestly; not a Quechua word).
- Function: the immune deadman — 660 SLOC, 10 deterministic tripwires (T01–T10). T10 (STOP/undo/revert) is an absorbing halt.
- Formula (SF-04): the soft halt, with large so any fired tripwire dominates —
Compound risk is bounded by Egyptian recursive doubling (Rhind Mathematical Papyrus, British Museum EA10057).
- Lean stub:
puriq_halting_safetyinformulas/PuriqLean.lean; doubling inLutar/Egyptian/AkhmimTable.lean.
5 · Kallpa — wires
- Etymology: Quechua kallpa = strength / energy.
- Function: the wires / propagation organ (FAST tier). Decides continue-vs-stop per step.
- Formula (SF-05): a Butler–Volmer halt budget — continue only while the marginal overpotential keeps current above the activation threshold —
A principled stop condition, not an arbitrary step cap (Bard & Faulkner, Electrochemical Methods §3.3).
- Lean stub: budget factor
B(a)informulas/PuriqLean.lean.
6 · Khipu — DAG
- Etymology: Quechua khipu = knotted-cord record (the Inka accounting cords).
- Function: the receipt DAG / Merkle accumulator. Action space = DAG-edge insertions.
- Formula (SF-06): Merkle-root recomputation + the summation-cord invariant —
Integrity by additive arithmetic, not collision-resistance alone (Urton, Signs of the Inka Khipu, UT Press 2003).
- Lean stub:
Lutar/Khipu/SummationInvariant.lean;puriq_khipu_integrityinformulas/PuriqLean.lean.
7 · Lambda — spine
- Etymology: Λ — a math primitive (the aggregator backbone), not a word.
- Function: the spine aggregator — collapses a 13-vector to one trust scalar.
- Formula (SF-07): the canonical weighted geometric mean (definition D2) —
Carries A1 IsMonotone, A2 IsHomogeneous (degree 1), A3 IsEgyptianExact, A4 IsBounded (). Λ-uniqueness remains Conjecture 1, not a theorem.
- Lean stub:
Lutar/Axioms.lean;puriq_lambda_monotoneinformulas/PuriqLean.lean.
8 · OTel-VSP — nerves
- Etymology: OpenTelemetry + Verifiable Span Provenance (engineering term).
- Function: the nervous / observability fiber — the W3C
traceparentspine. - Formula (SF-08): the trace-continuity indicator —
- Honest label:
traceparent_propagatedis in-process only. Cross-mesh W3C propagation (Wire D) is in development —O(a)is honest within a single Space only. - Lean stub: trace-continuity factor in
formulas/PuriqLean.lean.
9 · Kanchay — brand
- Etymology: Quechua kanchay = light / radiance.
- Function: the brand / public-claim surface. Action space = public-claim emissions. (Kanchay is also the source of the brand color tokens used by this site.)
- Formula (SF-09): the claim-calibration indicator on the two sacred axes —
Enforces the v11 banned-claims register (no "SLSA L3", no "zero sorry", no unscoped "fully verified").
- Lean stub:
K(a)collapses to T01/T02 hard-fail tripwires; obligation informulas/PuriqLean.lean.
10 · Hatun — doctrine
- Etymology: Quechua hatun = great / large.
- Function: doctrine governance. Action space = doctrine-amendment proposals.
- Formula (SF-10): the monotone-additivity guard —
This is what makes "v12 = v11 + PURIQ, no edits" structurally enforceable: any action that would change a LOCKED number yields .
- Lean stub: additivity guard in
formulas/PuriqLean.lean; HR-3 / HR-7 in Doctrine v11.
11 · Sumaq — designer
- Etymology: Quechua sumaq = beautiful / fine.
- Function: the designer / proof-discharge organ (FRONTIER tier) — the aesthetic of an honest proof. Action space = proof-discharge / artifact-shaping actions.
- Formula (SF-11): the honest-proof indicator —
A hidden sorry sets — Zero-Bandaid enforced inside the selection operator.
- Lean stub: status-tag obligation in
formulas/PuriqLean.lean; canonical-formulas registry (v11 §12).
12 · Killinchu-bridge — embodied agent
- Etymology: Quechua killinchu = kestrel (a small Andean falcon).
- Function: the physical-space bridge — extends digital governance to embodied actuation (the killinchu flagship drone vertical). Action space = physical-actuation commands.
- Formula (SF-12): a geofence + dynamics-feasibility indicator —
The geofence is the embodied analogue of the Bekenstein action-space bound (INV-4): a drone cannot enumerate an unbounded physical action space (LaValle, Planning Algorithms, ch. 13–15).
- Lean stub: feasibility factor
G(a)informulas/PuriqLean.lean.
Invariant-preservation summary
Every organ factor lies in and is non-negative, so multiplying the master utility by it can only shrink the gated region — never bypass a gate. The four master invariants (INV-1…INV-4) therefore hold for every organ by construction.
| Organ | Extra factor | Range | Invariant it anchors |
|---|---|---|---|
| Amaru | preserves INV-1…4 | ||
| Yuyay | identity (the gate) | algebraic root of INV-1 | |
| Yawar | chain-link | folds into Khipu → INV-3 | |
| Hukulla | , | INV-1 puriq_halting_safety | |
| Kallpa | BV budget | preserves INV-1…4 | |
| Khipu | Merkle / sum indicator | INV-3 puriq_khipu_integrity | |
| Lambda | itself | INV-2 puriq_lambda_monotone | |
| OTel-VSP | trace-continuity | preserves INV-1…4 | |
| Kanchay | sacred-axis | INV-1 (T01/T02) | |
| Hatun | additivity | locks v11 numbers | |
| Sumaq | honest-proof | Zero-Bandaid | |
| Killinchu | geofence | INV-4 (bounded ) |
