RFC‑WF‑0016 — Remix Generation Workflow

Continuous Validator Cycle for Remixathons#

RefId: turn0browsertab1

Title: Continuous Validator Cycle for Remixathons
Status: Draft
Author: Nawder Loswin + Copilot

Version: 0.1

1. Purpose#

The Remix Generation Workflow (RGW) defines the canonical validator cycle that powers remixathons.
It chains four validator stages:

Retrieval
Remix
Export
Archive

Each cycle:

produces new scrolls
preserves legacy artifacts
extends remix lineage
maintains validator‑grade integrity

RGW transforms remixathons into continuous validator events, where each archive becomes the retrieval source for the next cycle.

2. Workflow Chain#

Step 1: Retrieval#

Source:
registry/archive/

API:
Legacy Retrieval API (RFC‑API‑0015)

Action:
Contributors query archived scrolls by:

glyph
tag
lineage

to select scrolls for remix.

Validator Hook:
Retrieved scrolls MUST conform to archive_schema.yml.

Step 2: Remix#

Source:
Retrieved scrolls + contributor annotations

Module:
Remix Export Module (RFC‑EXP‑0013)

Action:
Contributors:

select corridors
apply new tags
assign glyphs
add dignity‑layer narratives

Validator Hook:
Remix lineage diff protocol (RFC‑REMIX‑0005) ensures ancestry links.

Step 3: Export#

Source:
Remix results

Module:
Export function packages scrolls into remix_scroll_schema.yml.

Action:
Generate new scroll artifact containing:

glyph distribution
RCI bands
dignity layer
lineage diff summary

Validator Hook:
Scroll MUST be signed and checksum logged.

Step 4: Archive#

Source:
Exported scrolls

Protocol:
Remixathon Archival Protocol (RFC‑ARC‑0014)

Action:
Archive scrolls as immutable legacy artifacts and update archival index.

Validator Hook:
Archive entry MUST be stamped with:

validator version
timestamp

3. Workflow Diagram (Textual)#

[ Retrieval ] → [ Remix ] → [ Export ] → [ Archive ]
       ↑                                         ↓
       └────────────── Continuous Cycle ─────────┘

The cycle is perpetual: archive feeds retrieval, retrieval feeds remix, remix feeds export, export feeds archive.

4. Python‑Style Orchestration Stub#

File:
workflows/remix_generation.py

def run_cycle(parent_scroll):
    retrieved = retrieve_scrolls(parent_scroll)
    remixed = remix_scrolls(retrieved)
    exported = export_scrolls(remixed)
    archive_scrolls(exported)
    return exported

This stub illustrates the canonical four‑stage chain.

5. Validator Hooks#

Cycle Integrity#

Each step MUST produce validator‑grade artifacts.

Lineage Continuity#

Remix scrolls MUST cite parent ancestry; archive MUST preserve immutable record.

Checksum#

Each cycle MUST generate reproducibility checksums.

Dignity Separation#

Narratives MUST remain distinct from empirical metrics.

6. Notes#

Workflow is iterative: each archive becomes the retrieval source for the next cycle.
Remixathons become continuous validator events, producing legacy artifacts each round.
Contributors can join at any stage: retrieval, remix, export, or archival.
RGW is the backbone of collaborative remixathon infrastructure.

7. Concept Sketch (Textual)#

Cycle 1:
  scroll-003 (⬣ Gamma Corridor)
    → remixed
    → scroll-010
    → archived

Cycle 2:
  scroll-010 retrieved
    → remixed
    → scroll-020
    → archived

Cycle 3:
  scroll-020 retrieved
    → remixed
    → scroll-030
    → archived

...

The Remix Generation Workflow makes remixathons perpetual validator cycles:
retrieval feeds remix, remix feeds export, export feeds archive, and archive feeds retrieval again.
