Re: Semantic atoms and execution side (Re: For each bubble, a container for KR terms)

Hi Tyson, all,

Thank you for this – the connections you drew are very helpful on my 
side as well.

The Cangjie / Chu Bong‑Foo reference is exactly the kind of lineage I 
hadn’t named but was implicitly orbiting. Treating characters as 
decomposable semantic structures ends up very close to the atomic A = 
(c, f, m, e) view and to the universal character architecture we’re 
building on top of the RPN substrate. I’ll spend some time with that 
history; it gives a nice prior for what we’re trying to do with 
multi‑script atomic units.

Your Forth → concatenative → GPU stack machine line is also the one I 
had in mind. The intention with the math core was precisely to have that 
kind of disciplined, finite, concatenative substrate under everything, 
with each “galaxy” acting as a bounded domain with its own small RPN 
vocabulary and invariants.

On the high‑level side, I really like the way you phrased:

using a high-level symbolic language to express TaskStructure, compiling 
that into RPN programs over your math core, and letting the 
domain-specific invariants be enforced at the consolidation boundaries 
you described (Reality Enabler, SleepTime).

That matches how I’ve been thinking about external languages/agents 
plugging into K3D: we don’t try to fix the top language (it could be 
classical Chinese IR, Lisp, Haskell, or something new), but we do fix 
the execution and consolidation substrate, and treat domains as galaxies 
with explicit laws.

I’m very interested to see how your TaskStructure × Graft work and the 
classical Chinese / 文言文 IR evolve, especially if you decide to target a 
constrained RPN surface like this. In the meantime I’ll keep the specs 
and kernels as clean and inspectable as possible so they remain a viable 
target for that kind of compilation.

No rush at all on your side – I appreciate you taking the time to read 
and think through the model this deeply.

Best,
Daniel

Your split between TaskStructure (contracts, delegation, traceable responsibility) and Graft (how that semantics hits the OS) is very close to how I think about K3D—just from the opposite direction.
