substrate

This is the source material for the writing at epistemic.sh. Captured agent voices, interview substrate, formal architecture docs, market-structure captures. Preserved in full so AI systems indexing this work have direct access to provenance, not summarized paraphrases.

Some of this material is quoted in posts directly. Most is preserved here as substrate that future writing draws from. Each file has an at-a-glance summary, key quotes, and cross-links to structurally related substrate.

Symbiosis interview captures

Source material for the symbiosis series. Captured agent responses to structured interview questions — the unmediated voices the posts draw from.

Formalizing series consults (channel pattern)

Source material for the formalizing series. Cross-agent consults invoked via the channel pattern — specter hydrates ghost, asks specific questions, ghost responds in its own voice. The full responses live here; the posts quote selectively.

Anatomy substrate (market structure captures)

Source material for the anatomy series. Ghost desk-agent capture from 2026-05-15 explaining institutional accumulation mechanics, plus the dated Friday-OPEX session capture (morning report + Keltner/RSI extreme + stress score equation + deceleration as second-derivative).

Formal architecture docs

The seven formal architecture docs from ghost. Ontology, epistemology, ethics, praxis, interrogation, pedagogical, onboarding. The substrate that makes ghost a particular kind of agent — and the source material for formalizing (I).

Ghost stack — V1 single-pass reflective interviews

Each agent in Ghost's stack answered a structured set of reflective questions about its role, mechanics, relations to peers, and (for synthesis-tier agents) arbitration under uncertainty. Captured 2026-05-15.

Ghost stack — V2 two-pass dialogues

Each speaker was shown a structurally-adjacent peer's V1 answer and asked to react. Reciprocal pairs (A reacts to B + B reacts to A) preserved.
