Chapter 5 · Field Research v2.0

Single Fabric & Belt — Depth Zero Forever

The Book of Grok's Heart

One belt die. One field amplitude.

grok16-single-fabric-doctrine.json declares:

> Parallel I/O may fan in, but truth collapses to one amplitude on one belt.

This is the research antidote to field-on-field stacks that made panels disagree. v2 does not reopen depth.

belt_1_0: 256 die slots — baseline compare in triad benches.

Depth zero — creation forbidden

Scale nets (body, room, field, planetary) are spatial literacy, not stacked field amplitudes.

Linear time

time_citation: ironclad:time:1. Sovereign clock stamps sealed generation and launch seal bumps. Generation is monotonic — you cannot seal “backward.”

v1 stamped meld chain-hash the same way. v2 stamps one posture file, not thirty plate mirrors.

Why single fabric survives the tombstones

Removing combinatorics and meld does not remove single fabric. Those mechanisms *served* single fabric poorly (refresh storms, stale multi-panel drift). Fixed profiles + sealed generation serve it better.

Research conclusion

Single fabric is physics. Belt is the die layout. Depth zero is law. Trees and fuses were scaffolding — now removed from the hot path.

Next: Chapter 6 — sealed generation replaces plates.
