Parallel Architecture Patterns
The movement stack and the N'Ko ASR stack are related by pattern, not by shared
implementation.
The old page said "N'Ko CTC and LIM-RPS" as if both were equally canonical
runtime architectures. That was misleading. The corrected comparison is:
| Aspect | Movement / MotionMix / LUME CC | N'Ko ASR / inscription |
|---|---|---|
| Input | camera, IMU, mocopi, watch, depth/body evidence | audio/acoustic frames |
| Current runtime anchor | EchelonCore + LatentUpdater + SAN/ClaimBridge lanes | trajectory-biased Transformer CTC ASR anchor |
| Routing/correction | SAN layers, BodyTruth, AirDeck safety, future routing work | MAOE-style post-ASR correction/admissibility routing |
| Output | body state, audio params, visual params, DJ intent, motion claims | character sequence, telemetry, correction decisions |
| Cultural grounding | embodied movement and performance practice | Mande/N'Ko phonology and writing |
What Actually Correlates
Both systems interpret continuous cultural signals:
- body motion is continuous but must produce stable command/audio/visual intent;
- speech is continuous but must produce stable N'Ko text.
Both need:
- temporal context;
- confidence/freshness;
- boundary handling;
- recovery when tracking or recognition fails;
- protection against generic priors overwriting the source signal.
That is the real correlation.
N'Ko Side
The verified ASR anchor is trajectory-biased Transformer CTC:
- `nko-brain-scanner/asr/trajectory_asr.py`
- `nko-brain-scanner/constrained/trajectory_bias.py`
MAOE is a routing/correction/admissibility layer around ASR output. It should not
be described as the trained acoustic model unless a future experiment proves that.
Movement Side
The verified movement-side anchors are:
- `EchelonCore`;
- `LatentUpdater` backends;
- `SANPipeline`;
- `DiffusionService` one-step flow/token generation path;
- `ClaimBridge`;
- MotionMix BodyTruth and AirDeck safety work.
`LIM-RPS` exists as a research/historical term, but this section should not use
it as the canonical architecture name.
Shared Latent Vision
A future shared space could align:
- body state;
- audio/acoustic state;
- N'Ko inscription/text state;
- music/output state.
That future requires paired data and explicit alignment training. It is not true
today just because the systems have similar trajectory-sensitive structure.
Correct Claim
Use:
> The movement and N'Ko stacks share a trajectory-sensitive architecture pattern:
> continuous signal -> temporally informed state -> safety/correction -> output.
Avoid:
> The movement stack and N'Ko ASR are the same architecture.
Promotion Decision
Promote into a technical note or architecture paper with implementation anchors.
