Renames the existing psychsocio-metafauna research workspace to research/psfr/ and extends it with the current psychosocial-fauna / agency-displacement distinctions.

Key changes:

  • preserves the existing pattern-lineage, coalescence, ecology, accountability, and repair work;
  • adds a separate agency-displacement phenomenology track;
  • distinguishes automatic perseverative action, externally attributed control displacement, lost time, and ordinary voluntary action;
  • records source-access asymmetry and beneficial/harmful outcome as independent variables;
  • keeps the existing synthetic preregistration explicitly scoped to the pattern-lineage track;
  • renames CI and updates root architecture projections.

Standing remains stack-local, pre-graduation research. Causal mechanism and ontology remain research questions rather than being inferred from a single event class or physiological correlate.

Rename the predecessor psychsocio-metafauna workspace to PSFR, preserve its lineage/coalescence program, and add a separate agency-displacement phenomenology track with explicit event classes and measurement boundaries.

💡 Codex Review

This work should remain in `stack/research/psychsocio-metafauna/` until all of the following are true:

P2 Badge Update the graduation gate to the renamed workspace

After this commit deletes research/psychsocio-metafauna/, the graduation instructions still say the work must remain at that nonexistent path. Anyone following this lifecycle gate is directed to the retired workspace rather than research/psfr/; update this remaining projection as part of the rename.

AGENTS.md reference: AGENTS.md:L51-L61


"surface": "psychosocial",
"boundary": "Established adjective. The proposal's surface form is intentionally 'psychsocio'; do not silently normalize it."

P2 Badge Reconcile the declared PSFR surface form

The same domain claim declares surface_form as psychosocial fauna on line 5 but says here that the proposal's surface form is intentionally psychsocio and must not be normalized. Machine consumers and human readers therefore receive opposite naming rules for the claimed term; distinguish the legacy lineage term explicitly or make the authoritative surface-form statements agree.


1. the domain claim and term collisions are stable;
2. lineage, susceptibility, coalescence, capture, accountability, and repair each have explicit falsifiers;
3. at least one synthetic preregistered study completes with deterministic replay;

P1 Badge Gate graduation on the second PSFR track

PSFR now explicitly owns a separate agency-displacement track, but this graduation gate can be completed using only lineage, susceptibility, coalescence, capture, accountability, repair, and one synthetic study. It therefore permits the entire PSFR workspace to graduate while the work graph still records that no agency-displacement preregistration has been executed; either add track-specific provenance, falsification, and preregistration requirements or scope this gate solely to the lineage component.

P1 Badge Point the introduction snapshot at a path it contains

At the declared commit 6c3f94b1e6d77e8f1abd36edc53da5fda596b416, git ls-tree contains research/psychsocio-metafauna/ but no research/psfr/, so the repository/commit/path identity cannot be resolved or reproduced. Preserve the historical path for that snapshot or record a commit where the renamed path exists, then recompute the digest.

P1 Badge Register PSFR in both stack provenance manifests

This rename exposes research/psfr/ as a distinct stack-local participant, but neither stack-manifest.json nor STACK_MANIFEST.md contains a PSFR research-participant record. Consequently the authoritative participant graph and its digest omit the newly declared workspace even though the consistency checker passes because it only validates entries already present; add matching machine/human records and recompute the root work-graph digest.

P1 Badge Declare how the new term identity replaces the old claim

The rename changes the top-level identity from psychsocio-metafauna.pattern-lineage to psfr.psychosocial-fauna, while retaining the former ID as a nested defined term, but records no supersedes or containment relationship. Consumers therefore cannot determine whether the old claim was replaced, remains independently active, or is now a child of the PSFR umbrella; preserve that identity transition explicitly rather than silently changing the authoritative key.

P2 Badge Keep the human-facing PSFR version in sync

This change advances both the domain claim and work graph to 0.2.0, but the PSFR README still advertises the workspace as version 0.1.0. Downstream users following the README cannot tell which machine-readable contract they are consuming, so update the human-facing version or explicitly document that it follows an independent version stream.
