Protocol Atlas
The Protocol Atlas is the public rendering of the current Three Realms Protocol five-phase map. It is a presentation layer, not the source of truth.
The canonical working atlas lives in Three-Realms-Protocol/TRP-ATLAS.md.
Five-phase map
| Phase | Corpus | Role |
|---|---|---|
| Fire / light | SPEC |
consciousness, horizon condition, the light that lets the protocol cycle occur |
| Water | MB |
energy, flow, dynamics, mathematical movement |
| Earth | DOCS |
matter, record, case, body, archive, the ground where traces are carried |
| Wood | LEX |
life, growth, language, the living lexicon of the field |
| Metal | EPOCH |
stance, declaration, first-person cut, the generation log of a universe becoming mine |
Core distinction
EPOCH is the stance event. DOCS is the trace-bearing ground where stance leaves evidence.
This means DOCS can contain evidence that a stance occurred, but DOCS is not the stance itself in the current top-level atlas.
Wind
Wind is not a sixth corpus. Wind is the breath of the living protocol body:
- circulation between the five corpora
- cross-repo handoff
- wiki rendering
- reader movement
- AI and human re-entry
