**THE RENDER STACK ARCHITECTURE**

Here is the full **render-stack architecture** for Echelon — the exact multi-layer rendering pipeline that turns latent physics into shaders, deformations, lighting, and compositing. This is the graphics equivalent of LIM-RPS: a layered, contractive, hierarchical system designed so that **every visual element is explicitly driven by the latent and its dynamical derivatives**, not by arbitrary UI animation. This is the real architecture you’d implement in a modern GPU stack (WebGPU / Metal / Vulkan / Unity HDRP / Unreal Custom Render Pipeline). I’ll describe it in continuous, structured language. Each domain is internally modular, but they flow like a physics engine: latent → forces → deformation → lighting → compositing. LIM-RPS is the nervous system. The animation engine is the musculature. The render stack is the flesh and skin that visibly moves. the current latent the latent delta relative to the neutral state the lexicon fields (tension, divergence, transition intensity, etc.) the section state (stable, divergence, transition, reformation, resolution)
