Cultural Ontology Store

This directory holds draft Weksa cultural, subcultural, and source-referent ontology profiles used for ontological lowering, syntax, grammar, discourse, and surface-affordance selection.

Live pipeline shape:

1. Weksa stores reusable cultures, subcultures, and source referents here and in semantic retrieval storage such as Qdrant.
2. A Persona state references the relevant culture stack.
3. The Persona produces interlingua intent from current state and situation.
4. Weksa lowers that interlingua through the referenced culture stack.

Persona state owns current intent, memory pressure, and relationship stance. Cultural ontology owns reusable salience, affordances, and constraints. Qdrant may retrieve candidates, but accepted ontology remains typed state.

Directory Roles

• cultures/: culture or life-history profiles that can shape lowering when a Persona explicitly references them.
• referents/: bounded source-text, mythic, literary, ritual, or historical referents. These are not whole-culture profiles; they preserve reusable role, salience, affordance, and forbidden-flattening pressure.
• persona-stacks/: named stacks that connect a Persona state surface to the profiles Weksa should load for lowering.

Shared source-tradition profiles should be parent profiles for narrower named figure profiles. For example, Norse-derived Personas such as Mimir, Huginn, Sindri, Odin, Vili, Loki, and Brokkr should be able to reference the shared Eddic source-tradition profile while figure-specific child profiles preserve the exact episode and role constraints that make each voice distinct.
