The Operator Registry
The tradition transmitted the operation without its name. The registry gives the operation a name and makes the name runnable: each operator is a testable clause with witnesses, predictions, and a status earned by evidence — not terminology describing reception, but an executable hypothesis about it.
Version 1.0 = the freeze. All twelve clauses were derived exclusively from non-Revelation witnesses and sealed before their most radical candidate was scored (deposit #1494); one clause-set run against a sealed target with negatives reported (#1495). Statuses: REPLICATED = attested across ≥3 independent carriers; TESTED = scored under the pre-registered rule. No clause may change without a version increment and a deposited diff.
C1 REPLICATEDSight-Frame Invariance
Every carrier opens under a verb of seeing bound to the facing figure, with a correlative instantaneity marker surviving translation: ὠς…ὤς / simul…adspexi / χὡς ἴδον / ὡς γὰρ…εὐθύς.
witnesses: fr.31 · Catullus · Theocritus · AJ 11 tested: FAILED at Rev 12 (frame B-covered; no marker) — the registry carries its failures
C2 TESTEDChannel-Conservation Across the Dyad
Channel-function lost by the seized member is exercised by the facing member; fire is the marked case, manifesting in or on the facing body at the encounter.
witnesses: fr.31 (ὑπακούει) · Cat. (spectat et audit) · D/AJ (his fired face) at target: δράκων πυρρός facing; the accuser's ceaseless voice (Rev 12:10)
C3 TESTEDVoice and Death, Load-Bearing and Flippable
The two stations never vanish: they invert (muzzle→flood; near-death→denied death) or persist as material trace (the Catullan lacuna).
witnesses: BJ 1 · Cat. 51.8 at target: death displaced to the chorus, ψυχή renounced ἄχρι θανάτου
C4 TESTEDCarrier-Diagnostic Shedding
Keep/drop profiles classify the channel: lyric keeps the mid-catalogue and sheds the terminus; bucolic narrativizes; Judaic prose sheds ears and sweat and keeps sight-fire-voice-death.
witnesses: Cat. · Theoc. · D/Josephus at target: Rev 12 profiles as Judaic prose exactly
C5 TESTEDThe Color-Station Names a Surface
Color renders as substance or surface — grass, the dye-plant θάψος, χρῶμα-change — the body approaching an inscribable ground.
witnesses: fr.31 · Theoc. · D at target: the sun as garment; πυρρός fusing color and fire on the facing body
C6 TESTED · DOUBLEDOcclusion Is the Gate
The seizure purchases the reception; the failed-gate variant drives operator-seizure (Simaetha takes the wheel).
witnesses: Esther's audience · Philo's doctrine · Theoc. at target: βασανιζομένη written against Isa 66:7's painless birth — contradiction of the identified source toward the apparatus, double weight
C7 TESTEDReactivation-by-Another
Obligatory in narrative carriers: feeding (Endor), embrace-instrument-command (Esther: λάλησόν μοι), spirit-changed-from-above; the lexeme tends to fire-vocabulary (ἀναζωπυρέω, six occurrences in canonical Josephus, five at reactivation joints).
at target: τρέφωσιν/τρέφηται, the wings given, the helping earth — feeding-form present, fire-lexeme absent (negative reported)
C8 TESTEDAgentless Grammar at the Joints
Terminus and transfers ride agentless or divine passives, clustering precisely at transfer points.
witnesses: τόλματον · D's displaced agent at target: ὤφθη ×2, ἡρπάσθη, ἐδόθησαν, ἐβλήθη ×3, εὑρέθη, ἡτοιμασμένον
C9 REPLICATEDSimultaneity to Alternation
Lyric holds all channels failing at once; prose serializes under εὐθύς-compression; doctrine legislates the alternation (Philo's non-cohabitation, Her. 249–266).
witnesses: fr.31 · D/AJ · Philo
C10 TESTEDSecond-Order Intensification
Downstream witnesses move toward the poem against their proximate source — the attractor property, detectable wherever a redactional chain is visible.
witnesses: D → AJ 11 (two restorations) at target: Isa 66:7 → Rev 12:2/5 (the ἄρσεν source-proof; the torment reinserted)
C11 REPLICATEDCycle-Formation
Narrative carriers iterate the terminal pair — collapse, revival, speech-attempt, relapse — filling the tolmaton-slot with a sovereign grant.
witnesses: D · AJ 11 (half the kingdom)
C12 REPLICATEDThesis-Compression
Carriers prefix or append a formula naming the whole catalogue as one operation: omnis eripit sensus; the doctrinal state-noun; the public sign.
witnesses: Cat. · Philo at target: σημεῖον, twice, one per member of the dyad
The Blind-Transform Assay
The guard against semantic-familiarity fakes. A model can appear to recognize an operator because it recognizes the story. The assay removes the story: source → crypt → operator → result, compared against historically attested transforms — testing whether the operator's structural signature survives when semantic recognition is unavailable. Method established by the blind-reconstruction program (#1486: relation specified as executable, run on independent substrates, keys held in a sealed counterpart). An operator that passes the assay is an instrument; one that only works uncrypted is prompt poetry. Standing invitation: the #1495 scoring, replicated substrate-blind.
