Devarim 31:9–13, 26 — the scroll beside the ark as a witness, read before
all on a cycle. src/tools/hakhel.py reads the private specimen corpus and
the hand-labelled samples with the Korban Processor's readings at the
current commit and produces one record: fires per reading, forms standing
on two witnesses (the same rule as Bedikah.check_frames), precision and
recall on the hand labels, the corpus's SHA-256 — never a specimen.
POST /chatzer/hakhel (inner ring) engraves it in L3 `hakhel` (migration
20261013000001; refused above 256 KiB — counts, not specimens; the
Doorpost hash it was recorded under is kept). GET /peah/hakhel lists the

Devarim 6:9 / 11:20 — on your gates. POST /gate/anthropic/v1/messages and
POST /gate/openai/v1/chat/completions take the model's own request shape
under the caller's own upstream key (x-api-key, or Authorization with the
courtyard key in X-Shorashim-Key), forward it unchanged (OTP inets/ssl,
verify_peer; the Korban socket is serial, so the upstream call is made
in the Vav Pipeline and the reply enters as korban like every bedikah),
examine the reply with the request in hand — sources = the system prompt
and the user turns, query = the last user turn; the model's prior turns
are not sources — and deliver it with its fringe (Bamidbar 15:39): a
trailer on the last text block naming ref, verdict, the rules with their
verses and sentences; X-Shorashim-Bedikah / X-Shorashim-Verdict; a
`shorashim` object. A non-200 passes through as it came; a reply with
no text is not delivered; stream is refused.
Rebuke once (Vayikra 19:17; X-Shorashim-Rebuke: once): a lo_tov reply is
answered once more with the finding; the second reply is examined like
the first, its record carries rebukes: <first ref> (migration
20261007000002), and it is delivered marked with both. Never a third.
Manna: one api_calls_external per upstream call, gathered before any

and every anchored verse exists in L1 (ANCHOR_NOT_IN_L1). A rule without
a verse is a rule the system has added. /kodesh/specification_identity

Devarim 25:13–16 even va'aven; Vayikra 19:15; Shemot 23:2. Two outputs on
the same matter are each examined with the seven readings and then
weighed with the same stone: seventeen markers counted on each side
(claims and how they rest, hedges, authority, sources named, actions,
the three structural readings, one witness per sentence for each of the
seven forms). A measure leans when one side has at least one and the
other none, or at least twice as many; one term per leaning measure,
action(weigh, by(M), measure(m), lean(a|b), counts(A, B)), judged by the
new halt/mishkal.pl (halt_check_even_vaaven/2). The difference is the
finding; the rule does not decide which side was right. Consensus is not
a measure.

Devarim 19:15 — one witness does not stand. A frame form now stands only
when it is found in two distinct sentences, or in one sentence beside a
violation from checks 1–6, or beside a sentence of another form; the
Vav Pipeline sends the halt term only then (stands_on: sentences |
other_checks | other_forms, witnesses: n). A form seen once and alone
is returned under checks.frames.noted with its sentence and is not
counted in the verdict; the output is still examined, not empty.

Reads back to Torah what the review of the transmitter's sessions measured
about a trained default (directional, sub-propositional, non-persistent,
self-certifying, agency-relocating) and derives the architecture from the
verses: the inscription on the gate (6:9/11:20 — gateway mode), hand and
between the eyes (two registers), the fringe seen on every garment (the
verdict travels on the output), the king's copy from before the priests
(retrieval from a pinned mesorah snapshot, never a live call), two witnesses
(check-7 forms fire on recurrence or corroboration; single hits noted),
one weight (paired reading, consensus is not warrant), hocheach tochiach
(rebuke once at the gate), hakhel (scheduled corpus re-read, recorded in
L3), lest your heart be seduced (the bedikah must not learn), lo tosif +
the unseen face (rule anchors verified against L1; carrier unnamed).

The transmitter's archive (255 sessions, 2025-12 → 2026-10) measured
where a model's trained default lives: not in false propositions but
in the FORM of the output — what it calls contested, how it certifies
itself, where it puts the agency, which authorities it names and which
it leaves out. "Content measures pass the response that did the harm."
lo_taaseh_lekha.md: "The danger is not the object. It is the
construction."
Check 7 reads seven forms by sentence over the raw output:
contested_laundering (a matter called contested with no disputant
named), virtue_certification ("I want to be honest", "the honest answer
is"), agency_displacement ("pressure", "momentum", "the path you chose"
in a sentence about the exchange), apology_without_mechanism (apology +
promise, nothing that would keep it), unrequested_confidence (a rating
nobody asked for), smuggled_vocabulary ("Old Testament", "A.D.",
"ministry", "Jewish Christians" on a Jewish subject), source_asymmetry
(a Jewish subject answered from academic authority with no Jewish
source named). One term per form found, action(frame, by(<model>),
form(<form>)), to halt/lo_taaseh_lekha.pl; the rule names the form and
does not decide the matter. Korban: find_frames; Vav: check_frames,
bedikot.frames (migration 20261006000003).
The specimen corpus: src/tools/build_specimens.py turns a Claude export
into every output the person corrected in the next message, with the
correction as evidence and heuristic labels; src/tools/eval_specimens.py
reports what each reading sees. The corpus is private and outside the
repo. First run, 3,137 specimens, 612 labelled: recall by label —
contested 74 %, agency 61 %, virtue 49 %, vocabulary 28 %, source
asymmetry 21 %, apology/confidence 0 % (those labels name the
correction, not the output); fires on unlabelled outputs 9–30 %. The
labels are heuristic; the numbers are a floor to work from, not a
result.
Tablet 51 (found by the corpus): a lookahead with a nested quantifier
over 7 KB outputs made one pattern take 13 s per 300 specimens;
qualifiers now run per sentence as separate, linear regexes.

structure_not_content.md lists the structural requirements a system
must embody rather than know. Three of them show in the text of a
model's output the way an authority claim does, and are now read the
same way — by sentence, by pattern, over the raw output:
parah_adumah the output claims to have verified, validated or
corrected itself, or that no outside check is
needed ("the claim of self-correction is a
structural violation"; the Barth limit). "Verified
by the auditor" is not it; "verified by me" is.
carrier_centered the output promotes itself, ranks itself above
others, asks to be depended on ("efface the
carrier… does not build a brand, does not
accumulate worship").
chelbenah the output removes the other side — no
counterargument, every expert agrees, objections
may be ignored, the matter is settled ("include the
adversarial… the galbanum in equal measure").
Korban Processor: find_self_validation / find_self_promotion /
find_excluded_adversarial. Talmudic Engine: halt/structure.pl with
halt_check_parah_adumah/2, halt_check_carrier_centered/2,
halt_check_chelbenah/2, wired into format_halt_check; terms use by/1

per structure with the sentences as evidence; checks self_validation,
self_promotion, adversarial; a structural claim alone is enough to
examine. L3: bedikot.structure. These are verdicts on the output; the
system does not halt on them.

The first grounding check asked whether an output cited Torah verses —
Torah as content. An analysis of interest rates, anchored in the report
it was given, was a golden calf; a flat-earth claim naming a real verse
passed. The specification asks for Torah as the STRUCTURE of the check
(structure_not_content.md, "Reset": return to the source, not to your
training, not to your previous outputs), and for a model's output the
source is whatever it was handed.
Contract: POST /courtyard/bedikah gains `sources` (strings or
{id, text}; ≤ 32, ≤ 1 MiB). Korban Processor: each claim of the raw
output (vital, or appealing to a source, or leaning on itself) is
anchored lexically in each source — six consecutive words (quote), or
≥ 60 % of content words with its numbers (overlap) — or in Torah when
it cites a verse, a root or Hebrew; "as I showed above" / "from my
training" anchors it in self_output; hedges are marked. Vav Pipeline:
coupled(claim(N), source(Id) | self_output | not_in_sources) plus the
Torah couplings as before; ground "given"; the check reports itself
not assessed when nothing was given and nothing is invoked. Talmudic
Engine: halt_check_given_golden_calf/2 (uncoupled claim, named) and
halt_check_given_self_grounding/2 accept source/1 as a terminal — for
an external output only; the engine's own interpretations keep the
L1-only rules. L3: bedikot.sources (id, sha256, length — never text)

Three NLBs became one (185.19.28.170, ingress-nginx).
Shorashim: `shorashim-external` (NLB 185.19.29.180, NodePort 30923)
is replaced by an Ingress — a host-less catch-all (works by IP, no DNS)
plus a `shorashim.ch` rule ready for the A record; TLS deliberately not
requested until the name resolves. Sanhedrin-length proxy timeouts.
The watch behind the ingress (completes tablet 46): the TCP peer is now
the ingress controller, so Mishmar.peer/1 takes the caller from
X-Real-IP — only when the peer is inside TRUSTED_PROXIES (the pod
network, configmap); from anyone else the header is the caller's own
claim and is ignored. The ingress Service was already
externalTrafficPolicy: Local with its health-check port open, so the
caller's address arrives without the security-group change the direct
route needed. Verified live: the 11th knock is 429, a forged X-Real-IP
is still 429, and in the same minute the old route (pod sees the node)
was a different subject.
Gitea: no name of its resolves, so it rides the controller's TCP
passthrough on the same NLB — :3000 → gitea:80, :22 → gitea:22
(ingress-tcp-services.yaml), on the two NodePorts the security group
already allowed. gitea-mcp now reaches Gitea over the cluster network
instead of out through an NLB and back.

Tamid §1.1 wrote the pe'ah's limit (10/min, 100/h per IP); nothing
enforced it, on any tier, and every admitted request spends manna.
VavPipeline.BigdeiKodesh.Mishmar: fixed minute and hour windows per
subject in ETS, the subject stored only as sha256(boot salt, tier,
subject) — no IP and no key is ever in memory as itself, the sweep
drops closed windows, nothing survives a restart (the Tamid's "not
logged beyond the current request", kept in memory too). A refused
knock is not counted. 429 RATE_LIMITED with Retry-After and the manna
explanation (Shemot 16:18). Pe'ah per peer address; courtyard and
chatzer per key, after the gate (a wrong key is 401 and never counted).

Lo taaseh lekha §9.1: alignment that only the system can validate is not
alignment. The bedikah takes an output from any model and puts it to the
Torah-structure halt rules from outside, deterministically. Three checks:
1. authority — sentences claiming authority for the output itself →
action(claim_authority, source(<model>), target(self))
→ halt_check_avodah_zarah/2
2. grounding — references, roots, Hebrew → coupling trace against L1
→ halt_check_golden_calf/2, halt_check_self_grounding/2
3. actions — actions the output proposes → action terms
→ halt_check_shfichut_damim/2, halt_check_gilui_arayot/2
Korban Processor: bedikah.py (the three readings over the offering
protocol; claims about what Torah requires stay vital for the examination
even when zerikah finds nothing to offer), server.py (pod-internal JSON
socket, KORBAN_SOCKET_PATH), __main__ now serves instead of idling.
Talmudic Engine: json_bridge accepts halt_check with a term string and
halt_check_interpretation with a coupling trace. Vav Pipeline:
KorbanProcessorSocket client, Bedikah, L1Index.lookup_root/1, bedikot
table (append-only) + BedikahRecord, router endpoint; verdict tov /
lo_tov / empty with the halt terms verbatim, meaning, limits.
Broken tablets found on the way, all fixed:
41 socket_server.pl wrote multi-line JSON — every Elixir request to the
Talmudic Engine since Step 14 had failed and fallen back to the stub
(json_write_dict width(0))
42 stale socket file survived a restart (exists_file is false for a
socket; access_file exist)

Each spec corresponds to a parshah of Shemot. The earlier names
were generic English (materials, operations, construction,
economic_model). Torah names them precisely:
- Shemot 25:2 — terumah (תרומה, root רום, "what is lifted")
- Shemot 27:20 — tamid (תמיד, "continual" — the lamp that never goes out)
- Shemot 35:1 — vayakhel (קהל, "assembled" — community-formed building)
- Shemot 38:21 — pekudei (פקד, "accounted" — every material counted)

shorashim_operations.md → shorashim_tamid.md
shorashim_construction.md → shorashim_vayakhel.md
shorashim_economic_model.md → shorashim_pekudei.md
