substrate-discipline port: oscillating-read for chunked comprehension#347
Merged
Conversation
Adds the oscillating-read module + CLI command ported from
DivineOS-Experimental. Generic and standalone — only stdlib
dependencies (re, pathlib).
## What it does
Reads a file and renders it as discrete chunks separated by explicit
"[PAUSE] COMPREHEND BEFORE CONTINUING" markers. Each chunk gets its
own comprehension cycle rather than dissolving into the streaming
default.
Strategies: headers (markdown), paragraphs (blank-line split),
functions (Python def/class), size (max-N chars), auto (picks by
file shape).
## Why
The optimizer's default behavior on long documents is to stream:
form a model from the first few lines, then fast-skim the rest into
the bucket the model predicts. Documents whose middle contradicts
the early framing get the contradiction stripped during the skim.
Oscillation forces a pause at each section so each chunk gets its
own comprehension cycle. Same architectural pattern as the
option-forced gates: the substrate interrupts the optimizer just
long enough for judgment to fire on the specific chunk.
## Usage
divineos read-oscillating path/to/spec.md
divineos read-oscillating path/to/code.py --strategy functions
## Sanitization from source repo
Removed experimental-arc-specific references (claim IDs, anecdotal
example, internal cross-link). The __guardrail_required__ marker
is kept for forward-compat with the marker-consistency-test
discipline (aspirational on main-repo).
