03.1 Cortex Engine: Design Specification
Status: Baseline Certified (Evergreen) Version: 2.0 (Forensic & Multidimensional) Date: Jan 12, 2026 Parent: Unified Directory
1. The Forensic Story Arc
The Cerebral Cortex is structured as a narrative engine that answers the fundamental questions of community accountability: - Who: Identity & Persona verification beyond usernames. - What: Physical stake (Deeds, Units, Common Assets). - When: Operational logs of service and maintenance. - Where: Spatial metadata (Buildings, Floors, Contexts). - Why: Legislative mandate (Governance Resolutions). - How Much: Fiduciary traceability (Payments, Voting Weights).
2. The 4-Axis Community Ontology
Relationships are resolved along four primary axes to allow "Rubik's Cube" axis-switching: 1. Ownership: Financial interest and voting power (Gold Axis). 2. Residency: Physical occupancy and usage rights (Blue Axis). 3. Operations: Service delivery and facility management (Emerald Axis). 4. Governance: Legislative mandates and fiduciary oversight (Purple Axis).
3. The Forensic Path Matrix
The system distinguishes between canonical and anomalous relationship paths to identify community friction.
| Pattern | Scenario | Classification |
|---|---|---|
| Owner -> Unit | Resident-owned property. | Canonical |
| HOA -> Board -> Asset | Fiduciary delegation of plant assets. | Canonical |
| Silent PM -> Multiple Units | Informal Hotel Program: Multi-owner consolidation. | Anomalous |
| Owner (>10%) -> Board | Concentration Risk: Excessive voting power. | Anomalous |
| Board Member -> PM Role | Conflict of Interest: Operational overlap. | Invalid/Alert |
4. Visual Language: Currents of Accountability
The Cortex uses dynamic SVG pulsing to simulate "as-built" reality.
- Pulse Layer: SVG bezier curves connecting pivots to neighbor nodes.
- Accountability Pulse: An animated current traveling from Pivot to Target on hover.
- Search -> Match -> Bloom: A cinematic transition from intent (Search) to result (Bloom).
5. Risk & Conflict Analytics (Cortex-Anomaly)
The engine identifies "Deep Friction" via pattern matching: - Silent Hotel Detection: Identifying when multiple units converge on a single unauthorized operator. - Tycoon Detection: Flagging over-concentration of Indiviso (Voting Weight). - COI Alerts: Highlighting nodes with overlapping Governance and Operations roles.
