English Lowering Packet Contract

This is the human-facing schema receipt for lowering Weksa interlingua into character-flavored English dialogue.

Executable schema code does not exist yet. When it does, it must reconcile with this document and Flavored English Lowering in the same pass.

Authority

The packet sits after interlingua validation and before final dialogue or speech rendering.

It combines:

• one Weksa interlingua packet
• one projected agent-local context
• lowering controls
• English output

It does not replace the interlingua packet or the agent state.

Required Fields

• schema_version: currently weksa.english_lowering.v0.
• source_packet_id: ID of the interlingua packet being lowered.
• target_agent_id: speaker identity.
• agent_state_ref: source reference for the canonical state or state envelope.
• projected_context: character-local operating context.
• lowering_controls: constraints for the lowering pass.
• outputs: generated English and trace.

Projected Context

Projected context should be positive context only. Include what the speaker can know, believe, remember, want, and express.

Do not include:

• private state for other participants
• raw numeric state variables
• hidden author notes
• future branch outcomes
• unaudited model guesses as fact

Output Fields

outputs should include:

• spoken_text
• visible_action
• private_interpretation
• intended_effect
• trace

spoken_text may be empty only when the lowerer chooses a non-speech action.

Downstream Speech Boundary

This packet may be handed to AquaSynth later, but it does not contain phoneme-parity, vocal-tract, reference-synth, or realtime voice artifacts.

Weksa owns the English projection. AquaSynth owns speech lowering.
