The Four Lanes

Lane v4 — Live Organism Surface
The external, stable operator surface (Operator v4.26). Shows behavior, state, and environment from the "organism-facing" view. URL: /v4-organism-visual
Lane v5 — Kernel View
First synthetic lane: stability, ticks, drives, change pressure. Core internal metrics powering all upper layers. URL: /v5-operator
Lane v6 — Organism Prototype
Visual prototype derived from kernel state. Experimental "organism-shaped" synthesis from metrics. URL: /v6-prototype-visual
Lane v7 — Synthesis Layer
Merges Kernel + Prototype into a unified synthetic organism metric. URL: /v7-synthesis-visual
