Pokémon TCG Metanoia Spec 04 — Tensorized Scaling and Subagent Orchestration
Conceptual three-axis model for reasoning depth, parallel research roles and orthogonal domain context, with provenance-ledger requirements.
Pokémon TCG Metanoia Spec 04 — Tensorized Scaling and Subagent Orchestration
Three axes
Spec 04 models research capacity as a conceptual tensor with three independent directions:
| Axis | Meaning | Pokémon TCG analogue |
|---|---|---|
| Vertical | Depth of one line of reasoning | Stage 3 loss postmortem or one theorem audit |
| Horizontal | Parallel roles or candidate explanations | Separate data, model, tournament and provenance analyses |
| Orthogonal | Different domains or representations | Code, SQLite, Parquet, Git, transcript and mathematical model |
The tensor is a planning metaphor and orchestration model. It does not establish that a neural representation has these axes internally.
Provenance ledger
The specification's strongest operational contribution is the provenance ledger. Every candidate or report should carry:
claim id
source artifact
repository commit
agent/harness identity
transformation applied
evidence class
review state
For this Wikifita pass, the ledger is instantiated through the corpus map, Git timeline, Antigravity page and evidence tables in the Stage 3 postmortem.
Sequential orchestration boundary
The project requested iterative integration rather than multiple overlapping agents. That is compatible with the tensor metaphor: the axes describe dimensions of the evidence space, not a mandate to run agents concurrently. A single coordinator can move through data, architecture, manuscripts and Metanoia sequentially while preserving cross-links and provenance.
Scaling risk
More candidates do not automatically create more knowledge. Without a stable ranking and review step, horizontal expansion creates duplicated claims, inconsistent denominators and derivative-artifact contamination. The Stage 3 failure is a technical analogue: more heads and signals increased optimization complexity without a shared scale contract.
