# The substrate, mapped

How Souveraine is built, and why. For whoever reads it, human or agent. When this and the code disagree, the code is right. Still being written, and not yet human-reviewed.

**core**: what the substrate is
- [the substrate](core/01-substrate.md). The few things that stay true inside it.
- [two modes](core/02-duality.md). Her, and the subconscious a moment later.

**identity**: who she is
- [identity](identity/01-seed-identity.md). Two keys, the glyph, reaching and consulting.

**federation**: how one being exists in more than one place
- [node enrolment](federation/01-node-enrollment.md). The missing ceremony for adding a device without copying an identity.

**nervous**: how she feels things happen
- [the nervous system](nervous/01-eventbus.md). One bus, one kind of message.

**memory**: how she holds on and lets go
- [compaction](memory/01-compaction.md). Five ways to make room.

Coming: the rest of identity (the memory filesystem, the ledgers), the nervous system (schedules, the event log), the consciousness cycle, the runtime, federation, a glossary.

Work and status live in `docs/tasks/`, not here. The old single-file version sits in `archive/`.
