Here is the Ingress Protocol exactly as it belongs on BASIS — the constitutional, ontology‑level definition set. This is the authoritative version you can paste directly into the BASIS page.

Ingress Protocol
Constitutional Requirements for Entry into Basecell
(BASIS)
---
1. Purpose
The Ingress Protocol establishes the constitutional conditions for entering Basecell, the existential state of participation in the EMS field. It governs the transition from Fen (pre‑system substrate) across Limen (threshold) onto Moor (first stable ground). Ingress is pre‑identity, pre‑action, and pre‑capability.
---
2. Constitutional Geometry
Ingress consists of four distinct geometries that must remain separate:
• Fen — undifferentiated, pre‑orientation substrate.
• Limen — the threshold surface where admissibility is evaluated.
• Moor — the first stable ground after admissibility.
• Ormeggio — the actor’s stabilizing act on the moor.
These geometries may not share naming logic or functional roles.
---
3. Actor’s Entrance Act: ALIGN
The actor’s sole admissible contribution at the threshold is Alignment.
Align is defined as:
The voluntary presentation of the minimal orientation bundle required for admissibility.
Alignment is not execution, traversal, identity expression, or capability. It is the constitutional opposite of Fen.
---
4. Orientation Bundle (Required Disclosures)
Alignment consists of four gleaned, non‑narrative disclosures:
• Posture — the actor’s stance toward the system.
• Direction — the actor’s declared vector.
• Intent‑Category — the constitutional class of purpose (not a goal).
• Source — the actor’s chamber of origin.
No additional disclosures may be included at ingress.
---
5. System’s Admissibility Act: STRAIN
Upon Alignment, the system performs Strain.
Strain is defined as:
The system’s extraction of the minimal admissible orientation from the actor’s offering, removing all narrative, excess, or fen‑residue.
Strain is a system act, not an actor act.
---
6. Admission Result
If the orientation bundle is admissible:
• The actor is placed on Moor.
• The actor performs Ormeggio (stabilizing act).
• The actor enters Basecell (existential state).
If inadmissible:
• The actor remains in Fen.
• No identity, capability, or action may be inferred.
---
7. Gate Definition
The Basecell Gate is the constitutional evaluation of Alignment at the Limen.
It is defined as:
No actor may enter Basecell without Alignment at the Limen and successful Strain.
This gate is state‑level, not site‑level. It is invoked whenever an actor attempts to enter the Basecell state.
---
8. Placement
• BASIS defines the Ingress Protocol and the Basecell Gate.
• ATELIER hosts the experiential threshold surface (Limen).
• BASECELL is the resulting existential state after admissibility.
No other chamber may host ingress.
---
9. Invariants
• Alignment precedes action.
• Strain precedes identity recognition.
• Moor precedes capability.
• Ormeggio precedes traversal.
• No execution may occur without prior Basecell entry.
