12.8 CLIC, OPTIC, and RELIC
The three principal algorithmic realizations form a progression.
|
Maintained structure |
Mixed witness |
Creative construction |
|
|---|---|---|---|
|
CLIC |
Causal sketch and intervention geometry |
Brackets of realized intervention fields |
Mechanism, latent object, or causal factorization |
|
OPTIC |
Skill program, workflow sketch, and involution algebroid |
Internal interchange and paired execution order |
Skill, interface, macro, or workflow rule |
|
RELIC |
Decision sketch, schemas, and policy |
Failure of decision operations to compose |
State factor, option, schema, or decision grammar |
CLIC asks what causal structure should be constructed. OPTIC asks what executable skill language can construct and test such structures. RELIC asks how an embodied agent should retain and deploy structural accommodations over time. Their shared DIAL discipline is diagnosis, typed construction, independent admission, and persistent transport; their objects and evidence remain domain-specific.
Chapter 13 completes this progression by making the temporal problem explicit. It moves from a versioned skill artifact to an agent whose state representation, options, and decision grammar may themselves need revision while behavior continues.
