Commit 88e5f5a on PR #245 explicitly handed three epiphany candidates to the next session (this one) for prepending to EPIPHANIES.md — board-hygiene violation flagged there: > § 16 and § 17 hold modeling insights that sit in plan docs but have > NOT been promoted to dated entries in `.claude/board/EPIPHANIES.md` > [...] Next session action: prepend three dated EPIPHANIES.md entries > using the framings above Prepended three 2026-04-24 entries with full attribution to the handoff commit: 1. **Four-way multiply = architecture search without outer optimiser.** `persona × style × stage × learned-dynamics ≈ 20,736 × oracle` configurations. F-descent IS the NAS — the gradient is the F-landscape, no meta-optimiser needed. NAS collapses into inference. 2. **Persona identity is a coordinate in atom-space, not a YAML artefact.** 32 cognitive atoms × 16 weightings = 16^32 space, 56-bit PersonaSignature. YAML runbooks are programs running on the context loop, not identity. Consequence: Layer-2 persona catalogue stores signatures; YAML is Layer-3 content retrieved O(1) by signature. Respects I-VSA-IDENTITIES iron rule. 3. **MM-CoT stage split reuses `FacultyDescriptor::is_asymmetric()` — not a new axis.** The `rationale_phase: bool` on `CognitiveEventRow` (shipped a05979e) marks WHICH side of the existing inbound-vs-outbound asymmetry is active. Corrects the four-way multiply cardinality: `stage` is intra-style, not orthogonal. Each entry carries Status = FINDING with explicit provenance flag ("framing inherited from parallel session commit 88e5f5a"). Cross- refs to callcenter-membrane-v1 §§ 16-17, a05979e, contract FacultyDescriptor, CLAUDE.md § I-VSA-IDENTITIES, FormatBestPractices.md § 5. No first-authored modeling content added beyond the handed-off framings — per the handoff instruction "Do NOT write additional modeling content I don't hold." https://claude.ai/code/session_01SbYsmmbPf9YQuYbHZN52Zh

Conflict came from PR #249 (ADR 0001) merging first — added its own 2026-04-24 epiphany to main. This branch's three 2026-04-24 framings (four-way multiply / persona atom-space / MM-CoT asymmetry) collided at the top of the reverse-chronological list. Resolution: reverse chronological within the day ordered by architectural weight: 1. ADR 0001 lock (most load-bearing, three decisions locked) 2. Four-way multiply NAS 3. Persona atom-space coordinate 4. MM-CoT faculty-asymmetry reuse All four 2026-04-24 entries preserved, no duplicates. https://claude.ai/code/session_01SbYsmmbPf9YQuYbHZN52Zh

Commit
88e5f5a(2026-04-24) appended to the 2026-04-24 Frankenstein blast-radius tech debt entry a subsection titled "Archetype / persona / thinking-style modeling — epiphany candidates not yet in EPIPHANIES.md". It flagged:This PR carries out that action. Each entry is prepended with full attribution ("framing inherited from parallel session commit
