Dreamineering Symbols

The wire-format vocabulary (v1)

Decode agent messages into `WM-NAV.pack`. Every token matches a row. Unknown → fail-closed `[F]` → `HA[L2]`.

This page is the SSOT. Edit _dreamineering-symbols.data.ts to add or change a symbol. Cross-link to the human-readable layer at DDL Nomenclature.

Mental map

Meta defines matter.

FLOW captures incompressible value, then context graphs make the value queryable.

Unit of Work → Workflow → Process → Work Chart → Business Operating Model → Context Graph

Unit of Work

Smallest action of value.

Incompressible value: one atomic action prompt with input, output, and proof.

Workflow

Chain the value.

Ordered Units of Work that move a thing from raw state to useful state.

Process

Make the function run.

Workflows joined around a repeatable business function.

Work Chart

Map the work that matters.

All actions and outputs that generate outcomes of value in a business model.

Business Operating Model

Show the machine.

How the business creates value, captures value, and learns to do both better.

Context Graph

Make precedent queryable.

Decision traces linked across runs so the next agent starts from memory, not zero.

FLOW exists to turn raw action into traceable intelligence: capture the unit of value, chain it, prove it, then feed the context graph and common DB language.

Algorithm — pure f(input)→output, zero I/O; classifies, scores, or validates; no runner, no HITL, no side effects. Placement: libs/agency/algorithms/ or libs/domain (zero-dep types). Test: PipelineRunner absent → @ALGO
@PIPE
Pipeline — executes steps via runner; HITL gates, middleware, pause/resume, event streaming; impure by design. Placement: libs/agency/pipeline/. Test: PipelineRunner present → @PIPE
