Let’s zoom out and treat this like we’re reviewing the design doc for “Echelon-as-an-instrument,” not just a toy. You basically have a **four-layer architecture**, with a possible fifth “neural icing” layer. At the bottom: your body and the sensors. In the middle: LIM-RPS + latent field + a controller model. At the top: Strudel as the musical engine, plus (optionally) a neural texture engine. Phones, watch, AirPods, heart rate. They pump out accelerometer, gyro, gravity, orientation, HR, audio. That’s raw reality. All those raw signals go into LIM-RPS. It does not output “gesture labels”; it solves for a fixed point in a latent space: a vector that encodes “what your whole embodied system is doing right now.”
