Question → C2 Ingress (Llama 8B) → C3 Core (Llama 8B + RAG + operator) → C2 Egress (Llama 8B) → c1_output → chain
×8 faces. Each sees original + all prior c1_outputs (PROVISIONAL) + its operator.
Then → D9 Synthesis (Opus 4.6 + RAG) → Human Summary (Llama 70B)
26 LLM calls per firing · ~$0.15–0.30 (Opus dominates)

Lives in CHR project on claude.ai. Receives machine outputs for audit.
Partition Rule: Clean Core + RAG = TRUTH. All else = PROVISIONAL.
Hierarchy: [hypothesis] try first → [derived] verify → Clean Core foundation.
Direct mode: copy face outputs → paste into CHR project → Dream Chisel audits.

C3 core: 8 nodes · 12 edges · 6 faces (cube)
At rest: every edge anti-symmetric — both nodes wind 180° · sum = 360° = standing wave
T3 = 720° (fermion) · T2 = 360° (boson) · T1 = metronome

Three C3 moves: break anti-symmetry → basis swap → relock in reverse
= chirality flip without displacement

The quint IS the edge. The smallest motion is the position of the whole.
