🧪 Echo Classifier — Integration Map

The classifier sits at the center of the HSP analytics pipeline. Everything upstream feeds it. Everything downstream consumes it.

Module: Echo Classifier Canonical ID: EC HSP Section: 06c Role: Cross‑module alignment

Integration Principle#

The Echo Classifier is a convergence point. Five upstream modules produce inputs; two downstream modules consume the classified output. The classifier adds no new data — it transforms five signals into one decision.

Upstream Inputs (5)#

1. Echo Triggers (06a)#

Provides: Trigger type (A–F)

Echo Triggers detect the initial event that fires an echo. The trigger type is the primary branch in the classification decision tree.

Data Flow:

06a Echo Triggers → trigger_type (A–F) → EC-Read

2. Echo Signatures (06b)#

Provides: Signature profile (A–F)

Echo Signatures capture the shape of the echo after it fires. The signature confirms or disambiguates the trigger classification.

Data Flow:

06b Echo Signatures → signature_profile (A–F) → EC-Read

3. Echo Strength Index (04c)#

Provides: ESI level (1–4)

ESI measures echo energy on a four‑point scale. Higher ESI indicates greater echo pressure and broader impact.

Data Flow:

04c Echo Strength Index → esi_level (1–4) → EC-Read

4. Cross‑Substrate Echo Matrix (05a)#

Provides: Substrate spread (1–5 substrates)

The Cross‑Substrate Echo Matrix measures how many of the five substrates (Symbolic, Cognitive, Harmonic, Social, Atlas) an echo spans.

Data Flow:

05a Cross-Substrate Echo Matrix → substrate_count (1–5) → EC-Read

5. Harmonic Recursion Detector (06)#

Provides: Recursion mode (R1–R4)

The Recursion Detector identifies which recursion line an echo follows. Recursion mode determines the echo's trajectory through the lattice.

Data Flow:

06 Recursion Detector → recursion_mode (R1–R4) → EC-Read

Downstream Consumers (2)#

6. Triadic Echo Lattice — TEL (07)#

Receives: Classified echo type (E1–E6)

TEL places the classified echo into the four‑layer lattice structure. Echo type determines lattice layer placement:

Data Flow:

EC-Tag → classified_echo (E1–E6) → TEL lattice placement

7. Substrate Echo Flow Map — Substrate Flow (08)#

Receives: Classified echo type (E1–E6)

Substrate Flow maps the classified echo through the canonical flow channels. Echo type determines which channel carries the echo:

Data Flow:

EC-Tag → classified_echo (E1–E6) → Substrate Flow channel routing

Sibling Module Relationships#

The Echo Classifier, TEL, and Substrate Flow form the HSP analytics triad — three modules extracted from HSP sections 06c, 07, and 08:

        ┌──────────────────┐
        │  Echo Classifier  │  ← convergence (5 inputs → 1 output)
        │      (06c)        │
        └────────┬─────────┘
                 │
        ┌────────┴─────────┐
        │                  │
        v                  v
┌──────────────┐  ┌──────────────────┐
│     TEL      │  │  Substrate Flow  │
│    (07)      │  │      (08)        │
│  placement   │  │    routing       │
└──────────────┘  └──────────────────┘

Responsibilities:

• Echo Classifier: Decides what the echo is.
• TEL: Decides where the echo sits in the lattice.
• Substrate Flow: Decides how the echo moves through channels.

Opacity (OPC)#

Echo classification can be opaque when inputs are incomplete or ambiguous. Opacity operators apply:

SET Decomposition#

Echo types map to SET channels:

FFF Lattice#

Echo types map to FFF layers:
