From Captain Bob's rulings of 2026-10-05 and -06 (ENGINE.md 3d) and the acceptance he approved. Ports with blocking reads and writes, a node born empty that executes what arrives at its port, a fabric of nodes and wiring that change at run time, capsules of F18 code, messages, finding the way, storage, birth and Hera; nine steps. Marks which parts are rulings and which are proposals. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
