Combined with the +orthogonal observation that `T_Var_Lin_L1` and `T_Var_Unr_L1` permit +typing variables of type `TString r` at *any* `R` (including `R = []`), +the L1 typing system is genuinely too permissive about region presence +for preservation under `R`-shifting steps. + +**Why this matters operationally.** `S_App_Step2` evaluates the +argument of `EApp v_fn e_arg` when `v_fn` is a value (a lambda). The +inner step on `e_arg` may shift `R → R'` via a region operation. The +lambda's typing was fixed at the *original* `R`; the rules give no +way to re-derive its typing at `R'`. The preservation theorem is +therefore unprovable for these cases under the current rules — not a +proof-engineering gap but a calculus-design gap. + +**Resolution paths** (each independent): + +1. **Effect-typed lambdas (L2/L3 territory)**: parameterise function + types over the region-effect they have, so the typing rule sees + how the body changes `R` and can re-derive at the call site. +2. **Restrict T_Lam_L1**: require the lambda body to be region-pure + (no free regions in `T1`, `T2`, or the body's intermediate types). + This is restrictive but unblocks preservation immediately. +3. **Restrict T_Var_*_L1**: require `In r R` for any variable whose + type contains `r`. This propagates the region constraint into the + variable-use side, closing the gap. + +The L1.E PR documents this in-source.

Layer 2 in detail — Linear vs Affine modality + +Currently `is_linear_ty` and `T_Drop`/`T_Copy` encode a per-*type* +distinction (a `TRef Lin` is linear, a `TRef Unr` is not). The user +clarified that there is a stronger, **language-level** dyadicity: + +- **Ephapax-Linear**: strict exact-consumption semantics. Weakening + forbidden. Drop must be explicit and consumes the value. Every + irreversible operation must produce an observed residue. +- **Ephapax-Affine**: permits implicit drop. Weakening allowed. + Irreversible operations may silently produce a non-duplicable + residue trace. + +Encode the modality as a judgment parameter: + +``` +R ; G ⊢_ℓ e : T -| R' ; G' where ℓ ∈ {Linear, Affine} +``` + +The modality lives on the **judgment**, not on the type. The two +sublanguages share the same syntax (`Syntax.v` unchanged) and the +same operational semantics (`Semantics.v` unchanged); they differ in +which derivations the typing relation admits. + +### Linear ⇒ Affine: a thin-poset decoration + +Every Linear derivation is an Affine derivation (Linear is the more +restrictive mode). This is the modality weakening: + +```coq +weaken_modality : forall R G e T R' G', + R ; G ⊢_Linear e : T -| R' ; G' -> + R ; G ⊢_Affine e : T -| R' ; G' +``` + +This mirrors `EchoLinear.agda:53-58` (`weaken : LEcho linear → LEcho +affine`). Because `Linear ≤ Affine` is propositional, the weakening +commutes with R-threading and G-threading by the decoration-commuting +recipe (echo-types' `degradeMode-comp`, `EchoLinear.agda:93-101`). + +### What changes per mode + +| Rule | Linear | Affine | +|---|---|---| +| `T_Lam` | `(T1, true) :: G` on body output | `(T1, true_or_unused) :: G` | +| Top-level (closed terms) | `G = G' = []` required | `G = []`, `G'` may carry unused linear bindings | +| `T_Drop` | discharges an *obligation* to consume; required for unused linear bindings | optional; produces an Affine-echo residue (see §6) | +| Branches in `T_Case`, `T_If` | must agree on `(R', G')` exactly | may differ; meet operation on outputs (also a thin-poset operation) | + +`T_Region`, `T_Region_Active`, `T_Loc`, `T_StringNew`, +`T_StringConcat`, `T_Pair`, `T_App`, etc. are **modality-polymorphic** +— the rule shape is identical in both modes. + +### Proof obligations specific to each mode + +| Property | Ephapax-Linear | Ephapax-Affine | +|---|---|---| +| Preservation | ✓ (L1 fix) | ✓ (same fix; Affine derivations are L1-safe by weakening) | +| Progress | ✓ | ✓ | +| **No-leak** (every introduced linear value is consumed) | proved | does **not** hold; replaced by "no-duplicate" | +| **No-duplicate** | trivially (Linear ⇒ no-duplicate) | proved as a structural property | +| **Resource-exact** (linear count = linear introductions) | proved | not stated | +| **Garbage residue inhabited** | not applicable | proved (every silent drop has a residue trace) | + +Cross-mode: the Linear ⇒ Affine weakening lemma is a single induction. +Combined with monomode preservation, this gives Affine preservation +for free. + +--- + +## 6. Layer 3 — Echo / residue, in design + +This layer is **not required for preservation**.

The weakening `weaken : LEcho Linear → LEcho Affine` +*is* the echo-lowering map (`EchoResidue.agda:33-73`). This is what +the user means by "echo semantics and structural discipline must +remain orthogonal and compositional": L2 chooses the mode; L3 is the +same fiber regardless. + +### 6.3 Where echo enters the typing rules + +The L3 extension introduces: + +- A new type former `TEcho (op : irreversible_op) : ty`. +- An operational rule pairing: `S_Region_Exit` and `S_Drop` produce a + residue **value** of type `TEcho ⟨op⟩`.

Echo-types' canonical + formulation (fiber-of-a-collapse) keeps the type former minimal. +3. **Not assume mode-monomorphic typing rules.** The L1/L2 rules are + modality-polymorphic; L3's `T_Observe` is the one rule that splits + per mode (Linear-`T_Observe` consumes; Affine-`T_Observe` doesn't). + +§4 and §5 as drafted satisfy all three. + +--- + +## 7. Layer 4 — Dyadic interaction (the mother–child distinction) + +The user's note — + +> Linear Ephapax is the exact-consumption / obligation-preserving +> regime and is the true home of strict dyadic semantics. Affine +> Ephapax permits weakening and graceful abandonment, so its +> dyadicity is relaxed/degradable rather than fully obligation- +> symmetric. + +— frames Linear and Affine ephapax not as "strict vs lax" but as the +**asymmetric pair** of a dyadic interaction: Linear is the obligation- +bearer (the *speaker* of the dyad), Affine is the obligation-relaxer +(the *listener*). Both must coexist because real programs require both +sides of the interaction. + +This dyadicity is itself orthogonal to L1, L2, L3: + +- L1 (region capabilities) is the *same* in both Linear and Affine — + both must track region exit precisely for soundness. +- L2 (modality) gives the *direction* of the dyad — which side is + obligation-bearing. +- L3 (echo) is the *protocol* of obligation discharge — what the + observer must do with the residue. + +L4 is **not a separate proof layer**. It is a labelling discipline at +the program / module level: a closed program is declared +ephapax-Linear or ephapax-Affine (or a designated module-boundary mix); +the corresponding judgment-mode (L2) is selected, and L3 follows from +that. No proofs change. + +--- + +## 8.

Counterexample examination, revisited + +The verified counterexample (`Counterexample.v`) was a *single* +witness. The L1 architectural fix subsumes a family of related +configurations, all sharing the same shape.

L1's threading eliminates the entire family in one +structural change. + +A family L1 does **not** address: sibling reference to a region +*introduced* (not exited) by a sibling — e.g., +`EPair (ERegion r v) (ELoc _ r)` where the second sibling expects `r` +to be active. This is already disallowed by `T_Region`'s +`~ In r R` premise (the fresh `r` is local to the body, not visible +to the sibling). Verified separately that the second sibling would +require `r ∈ R_in`, but `r ∉ R_in` by `T_Region`'s premise — so this +is well-typedness, not preservation, and the existing rules already +reject it. + +This confirms the diagnosis: **the asymmetry is region *exit*, not +region introduction**. L1's left-to-right threading is the exactly- +sufficient mechanism. + +--- + +## 10. Implementation order + +1. **L1 — region threading** (this design). Closes preservation. + Days, not weeks. The hard part is re-stating ~80 lemmas; the + substance of each is unchanged. +2. **L2 — modality parameter** (already present *in* the types via + `is_linear_ty`; needs to be *promoted* to a judgment parameter + plus the Linear ⇒ Affine weakening). Orthogonal to L1; can be + done before or after. +3. **L3 — echo type former** (forward-looking; not required for + preservation, progress, or the dyadic story). Bring in + echo-types' `Echo`, `EchoR`, and `EchoLinear` mode poset + verbatim; layer them via decoration-commuting. +4. **L4 — module-level mode declaration** (UX, not proof). + +Each step's correctness is independent of the next.

The four-layer story +*extends* this; it does not replace it. + +**Insert a new section between the existing `== The Dyad` and +`== One Language, One Feel`**: + +```adoc +== The Dyad and the Layers + +The dyad — linear mother, affine child — is one of *four orthogonal +disciplines* that together define Ephapax.

The mother and the child both forbid use-after-exit; + the dyadic mode does not relax this. (This is the layer whose + *absence* admitted the verified counterexample to preservation.) + +| L2 — Structural discipline +| The dyad *is* this layer. Linear is the mother; Affine is the + child.

The layer story extends it; it doesn't replace +it. + +### 12.5 ROADMAP.adoc — sequencing + +The current ROADMAP carries the **preservation closure plan** at the +top. The redesign supersedes that plan. New top section: + +```adoc +== Four-layer redesign (2026-05-26 → ) + +The verified preservation counterexample +(`formal/Counterexample.v`) closed the original closure plan as +unreachable in the current rules.

Four orthogonal disciplines +> compose to give the safety guarantees: **region capabilities** (L1) +> thread an explicit live-region set through every expression so a +> sibling cannot reference a region another sibling has exited; +> **structural modality** (L2) chooses between Linear (every linear +> binding must be consumed) and Affine (linear bindings may be +> dropped); **irreversibility residue** (L3, planned) makes the +> information lost by region exit and drop into a first-class, +> proof-relevant value; and **dyadic mode** (L4) declares, at the +> project level, which side of the linear/affine dyad the program +> speaks from. The four layers compose without coherence obligations +> because each is a thin-poset decoration, a construction borrowed +> verbatim from the `echo-types` mechanisation. + +**Why four layers (FAQ-shaped)**: +> Q: Why four layers, not three or five? +> +> A: The four are what the soundness story demands. L1 is forced by +> a verified counterexample to preservation: sibling-safe region +> exit cannot be enforced without explicit capability threading.

The architecture above describes the **target**; +this subsection describes the **current state**, which is much +narrower than the target. + +#### 12.15.1 What is mechanised today + +| Mechanisation | Scope | Status | +|---|---|---| +| `formal/Semantics.v`, `formal/Typing.v`, `formal/Syntax.v` (Coq) | A **single** typing judgment `R; G ⊢ e : T -| G'` and its small-step operational semantics | Builds with `coqc 8.18.0` | +| `formal/Counterexample.v` | A verified counterexample to preservation **as currently stated** | All three lemmas `Qed` | +| `preservation` theorem in `Semantics.v` | Soundness under the current single judgment | **`Admitted.`** — 11 cascading goals open (see `PRESERVATION-HANDOFF.md`) | +| `src/abi/Ephapax/…/*.idr` (Idris2) | Selected structural-safety claims | Per file; see `idris2 --check` | + +#### 12.15.2 What the single judgment **is not** + +The current `has_type` judgment **does not distinguish** Linear from +Affine ephapax. It is a single typing relation, parameterised over a +linearity context `G` whose entries carry a `(ty, bool)` consumption +flag. `is_linear_ty` returns a per-type tag. There is **no judgment +parameter** for L2 modality; there is **no proof** that Linear +derivations form a subset of Affine derivations; there is **no +mechanised ephapax-affine type system** at all. + +Concretely: the Rust crate `ephapax-linear/` contains a +`LinearChecker` and an `AffineChecker`, with EBNF grammars and +behavioural tests proving they diverge on identical programs. That is +the implementation side of the dyad. The **proofs side** has not +caught up: the Coq + Idris2 formalisation models *one* judgment, +which behaviourally resembles the linear discipline (it requires +linear-typed bindings to be consumed) but is not labelled as such +and has no proven dual. + +#### 12.15.3 What this redesign **will** establish + +If executed as designed, the redesign closes: + +- **L1 — region capabilities**: a new threading discipline + a + reproof of preservation under the new rules. This is the central + deliverable. The verified counterexample becomes a passing + regression. +- **L2 promotion**: the judgment gains an `ℓ ∈ {Linear, Affine}` + parameter, and a `weaken_modality : Linear ⇒ Affine` lemma. This + is what *introduces* a mechanised ephapax-affine into the formal + development for the first time. + +#### 12.15.4 What this redesign **will not** establish + +Equally explicitly — so future sessions, agents, and PR reviewers do +not assume otherwise: + +- **The ephapax-affine type proofs are not done today, and the L1 + redesign on its own does not finish them.** L1 closes preservation + under the *single* judgment that already exists. L2's + modality-weakening lemma, once proved, will lift L1's preservation + to the affine side — but that lift is a *separate* lemma that has + not been written and is not part of the L1 patch. Until L2 lands + *and* the weakening lemma is `Qed`, **no ephapax-affine soundness + property is mechanised**. +- **No L3 (Echo / residue) proof obligation is closed.** L3 is + forward-looking. Until `formal/Echo.v` exists and references it + from the operational semantics, the Linear-echo "mandatory + observation" property and the Affine-echo "non-duplicable + residue" property are *aspirations*, not theorems. +- **No proof that the Rust `AffineChecker` agrees with any + mechanised affine judgment.** The implementation-side dual exists; + the mechanisation-side dual does not. Cross-checking the two is a + third, independent body of work. +- **No proof of the L4 mode declaration's consistency** (e.g., that + a program declared Linear cannot accidentally invoke an Affine- + typed library through a hole in mode-elaboration). L4 is a UX + layer in this design; making it sound requires further work that + is not scoped here. + +#### 12.15.5 The honest one-line summary + +> **Ephapax's mechanised soundness story today is: one judgment, +> resembling linear discipline, with preservation `Admitted`. The +> verified counterexample shows preservation false as stated. The L1 +> redesign in this document closes that counterexample. Ephapax- +> affine proofs as a distinct mechanised body of theorems are not +> done, will not be done by L1 alone, and will require L2 plus a +> follow-up weakening lemma before any "ephapax-affine is sound" +> claim is honest.** + +Cite this subsection by section number (`§12.15`) whenever the +question of "what is proved" is asked. Do not paraphrase the bounds +upward. + +### 12.16 Future research track — "Echo as foundation" (v2) + +The four-layer design in this document treats **Echo as L3**: a residue +layer over the existing operational primitives (region exit, drop). +This is interpretation **B** of the question "can Echo replace the +reclamation model in ephapax?" — Echo *augments* the existing region +model; it does not replace it. + +Interpretation **A** is a coherent research direction, but a much +larger one: making Echo the **operational foundation** itself. In an +A-shaped calculus: + +- `ERelease v` becomes a primitive operation: yields a residue value + of type `TEcho ⟨op⟩` *and* releases the underlying memory. +- `region r { … }` becomes **syntactic sugar** for a sequence of + releases at scope exit, in reverse-allocation order. +- The operational semantics' primitive step is the release event, + not the region exit. +- Linear-mode discharge becomes a **termination invariant**: a + closed Linear program with no outstanding echo obligations is + provably leak-free. +- Surface-language UX research is required: implicit-at-scope-exit + vs explicit `release x` vs both. Borrow semantics under deferred + release is a real theory question, not a notation question. + +**This is a sibling v2 calculus, not a patch.** It will require its +own Coq development (`formal/Semantics_v2.v` or a separate +`ephapax-echo-foundation/` crate), its own design doc +(`formal/ECHO-AS-FOUNDATION.md`, currently not written), and its +own roadmap. The migration story (current ephapax programs ↦ v2 +calculus) is itself a research question. + +**Why this is staged separately from B:** + +1. **B closes preservation in weeks; A is months.** Preservation is + currently `Admitted` with a verified counterexample. Closing it + is more urgent than v2 architectural exploration. +2. **B and A are not mutually exclusive.** Once B lands, A can be + developed as a parallel branch using B's primitives. The L3 echo + layer in B is a *prerequisite* for A's foundation rewrite — + nothing wasted. +3. **Echo-types itself follows this restraint.** Its formal + contribution is editorial reframing of homotopy fibers as + irreversibility residues, not a new operational foundation. The + same restraint applies here: Echo-as-L3 is the addition; Echo-as- + foundation is a v2 design that earns its keep through + experimentation, not by decree. + +**Concrete next steps for A** (when undertaken; not now): + +| Step | Output | +|---|---| +| 1.
