The Ark Recall Layer: a WICK = SHA-256 memory wrapped in a multi-plane signature (usage · chord · content · ancestry). Recall = per-query SELECTION over planes, grown from a partial-recall base into total recall by the Master-API. NOT a RAG — the dense vector is one naive plane.
Clean live head-to-head vs HNSW = the v2.1 scoreboard (in flight). Proven on addressing; real capability on cold; honest on warm.
L0 atom+addressing (chord-key ✅) · L1 Merkle ✅ · L2 durability (DUR-1 ✅) · L3 chord/CRT · L4 recall (co-access field + SELECT) · L5 composition (Master-API) · L6 security (FTLE 0.967)
C1 perception · C2 intuition = the FIELD (PPR) · C3 thinking = credit-learned router (RL keystone, branch forge-rl-aggregator-fix)
route per-query to the live plane over {content · vector · co-access-field · chord-key · ancestry}. Fusion dilutes. Cold works because some plane always sees the target.
