Phase 1: XIC Layer — Context Accumulation
Modified Files: xic_ops.py
XICContext Enhancement
Added glyph_contexts field:
@dataclass
class XICContext:
model_path: Optional[str] = None
mode: str = "chat"
params: Dict[str, Any] = field(default_factory=dict)
_state: Dict[str, Any] = field(default_factory=dict)
symbolic_mode: bool = False
glyph_contexts: list = field(default_factory=list) # NEW
New Operation: PUSH_GLYPH_CONTEXT
def op_PUSH_GLYPH_CONTEXT(ctx: XICContext, *args):
"""Accumulate glyph for multi-glyph resonance."""
glyph_id = str(args[0])
# Initialize guardrails if not set
if "max_resonance_glyphs" not in ctx.params:
ctx.params["max_resonance_glyphs"] = 10
if "enable_resonance_guardrails" not in ctx.params:
ctx.params["enable_resonance_guardrails"] = True
# Check guardrails
max_glyphs = ctx.params["max_resonance_glyphs"]
enable_guardrails = ctx.params["enable_resonance_guardrails"]
if enable_guardrails and len(ctx.glyph_contexts) >= max_glyphs:
print(f"[XIC-GUARDRAIL] Resonance glyph count at limit ({max_glyphs})")
return
# Accumulate (no duplicates)
if glyph_id not in ctx.glyph_contexts:
ctx.glyph_contexts.append(glyph_id)
print(f"[XIC-MULTI-GLYPH] Pushed glyph context: {glyph_id} (total: {len(ctx.glyph_contexts)})")
Behavior:
- Accumulates glyph_ids in ctx.glyph_contexts list
- Respects max_resonance_glyphs guardrail
- Prevents duplicates (idempotent)
- Prints status with [XIC-MULTI-GLYPH] prefix
New Operation: CLEAR_GLYPH_CONTEXT
def op_CLEAR_GLYPH_CONTEXT(ctx: XICContext, *args):
"""Clear accumulated glyph context."""
count = len(ctx.glyph_contexts)
ctx.glyph_contexts.clear()
print(f"[XIC-MULTI-GLYPH] Cleared glyph context ({count} glyphs removed)")
Behavior:
- Empties ctx.glyph_contexts list
- Prints count of removed glyphs
- Idempotent (no error if already empty)
Enhanced: CALL_GLYPH
Modified to detect and use multi-glyph context:
def op_CALL_GLYPH(ctx: XICContext, *args):
glyph_id = str(args[0])
payload = str(args[1]) if len(args) > 1 else ""
# Determine if using multi-glyph resonance
is_multi = False
multi_glyph_ids = None
if ctx.glyph_contexts:
multi_glyph_ids = list(ctx.glyph_contexts)
if glyph_id not in multi_glyph_ids:
multi_glyph_ids.append(glyph_id)
print(f"[XIC-MULTI-GLYPH] CALL_GLYPH using {len(multi_glyph_ids)} glyphs")
is_multi = True
# Call pipeline with appropriate mode
if is_multi:
pipeline_result = run_symbolic_pipeline(
prompt=payload,
context=glyph_context,
glyph_ids=multi_glyph_ids, # Multi-glyph parameter
)
else:
pipeline_result = run_symbolic_pipeline(
prompt=payload,
context=glyph_context,
glyph_id=glyph_id, # Single-glyph parameter
)
# Store result
result_dict = {..., "multi_glyph": is_multi}
ctx._state[f"glyph_{glyph_id}"] = result_dict
# Store telemetry for multi-glyph
if is_multi:
ctx._state["last_multi_glyph_result"] = result_dict
ctx._state["last_resonance_stats"] = {
"glyph_count": len(multi_glyph_ids),
"global_resonance_score": global_resonance,
"guardrails_triggered": [],
"timestamp": time.time(),
}
Enhanced: RUN_PROMPT and STREAM
Both updated to pass glyph_ids to symbolic pipeline:
def op_RUN_PROMPT(ctx: XICContext, *args):
if ctx.symbolic_mode:
glyph_ids = None
if ctx.glyph_contexts:
glyph_ids = list(ctx.glyph_contexts)
print(f"[XIC-MULTI-GLYPH] RUN_PROMPT with {len(glyph_ids)} glyphs")
pipeline_result = run_symbolic_pipeline(
prompt=prompt,
context=ctx.params.get("context"),
glyph_ids=glyph_ids,
)
OP_TABLE Update
Added 2 new operations to reach 12 total:
OP_TABLE = {
"LOAD_MODEL": op_LOAD_MODEL,
"SET_MODE": op_SET_MODE,
"SET_PARAM": op_SET_PARAM,
"SET_CONTEXT": op_SET_CONTEXT,
"RUN_PROMPT": op_RUN_PROMPT,

"CLEAR_GLYPH_CONTEXT": op_CLEAR_GLYPH_CONTEXT, # NEW
"GET_GLYPH_RESONANCE": op_GET_GLYPH_RESONANCE,
"LOG": op_LOG,
}
Phase 2: Symbolic Pipeline — Multi-Glyph Support
Modified File: glyphos/symbolic_pipeline.py
Extended Signature
def run_symbolic_pipeline(
prompt: str,
context: Optional[Dict[str, Any]] = None,
glyph_id: Optional[str] = None,
glyph_ids: Optional[List[str]] = None, # NEW parameter
) -> SymbolicPipelineResult:
Parameter Priority:
- If
glyph_idsprovided: multi-glyph mode - Elif
glyph_idprovided: single-glyph mode - Else: no explicit glyph specification
Multi-Glyph Context Building
# Step 2: Prepare context for glyph-aware processing
exec_context = dict(context or {})
guardrails_triggered = []
# Multi-glyph resonance takes precedence
if glyph_ids:
# Apply guardrails
max_glyphs = exec_context.get("max_resonance_glyphs", 10)
if len(glyph_ids) > max_glyphs:
glyph_ids = glyph_ids[:max_glyphs]
guardrails_triggered.append(f"Truncated glyph list to {max_glyphs}")
exec_context["glyph_ids"] = glyph_ids
# Record multi-glyph step
steps.append(SymbolicStep(
name="multi_glyph_resonance",
kind="multi_glyph_resonance",

if guardrails_triggered:
steps.append(SymbolicStep(
name="guardrail_enforcement",
kind="guardrail",

Null-Safety Fixes

# ... get top glyphs ...
def format_glyph_resonance_report(pipeline_result) -> str:
if not pipeline_result.fused_symbol:
return "No glyph resonance data."
if not pipeline_result.fused_symbol.resonance_map:
return "No resonance map available." # NEW: handle None
# ... format report ...

Key Features:

context["glyph_ids"] - Computes resonance metrics for all glyphs
- Merges results into fused_symbol
- Maintains backward compatibility (single-glyph unaffected)
Phase 4: Guardrails & Telemetry
Guardrails
Configuration Parameters (SET_PARAM)
| Parameter | Type | Default | Effect |
|---|---|---|---|
max_resonance_glyphs |
int | 10 | Max glyphs in context |
enable_resonance_guardrails |
bool | True | Enable enforcement |
Enforcement Points
1. In PUSH_GLYPH_CONTEXT:
if enable_guardrails and len(ctx.glyph_contexts) >= max_glyphs:
print(f"[XIC-GUARDRAIL] Resonance glyph count at limit ({max_glyphs})")
return # Reject push
2. In run_symbolic_pipeline:
if len(glyph_ids) > max_glyphs:
glyph_ids = glyph_ids[:max_glyphs] # Truncate
guardrails_triggered.append(f"Truncated glyph list to {max_glyphs}")
steps.append(SymbolicStep(kind="guardrail", ...))
Telemetry
Stored in ctx._state
After multi-glyph CALL_GLYPH:
ctx._state["last_resonance_stats"] = {
"glyph_count": int, # Number of glyphs processed
"global_resonance_score": float, # [0.0, 1.0]
"guardrails_triggered": List[str], # List of guardrail messages
"timestamp": float, # Execution timestamp
}
Example Output
{
"glyph_count": 3,
"global_resonance_score": 0.834,
"guardrails_triggered": [],
"timestamp": 1716330000.123
}

Backward Compatibility
✅ All guarantees maintained:
- Single-glyph CALL_GLYPH still works (glyph_id parameter)
- run_symbolic_pipeline with glyph_id unaffected
- Empty glyph_contexts → single-glyph behavior
- All XIC v1 programs work unchanged
- RUN_PROMPT and STREAM work as before (unless glyph_contexts populated)
- Existing .gx binary format unchanged
Test Results
Single-glyph backward compatibility test passes ✅
Design Decisions
1. Separate Operations for Context Management
Decision: PUSH_GLYPH_CONTEXT and CLEAR_GLYPH_CONTEXT as distinct operations.
Rationale:
- Declarative, explicit intent
- Separates context management from execution (CALL_GLYPH)
- Enables complex multi-step chains
2. Guardrails at Multiple Layers
Decision: Enforce max_resonance_glyphs at both PUSH and pipeline levels.
Rationale:
- Early warning via PUSH rejection
- Fail-safe via pipeline truncation
- Never silently drop glyphs
3. Telemetry Stored in ctx._state
Decision: Use ctx._state for metrics storage.
Rationale:
- Consistent with single-glyph telemetry pattern
- Programmatic access to statistics
- No side effects on execution
4. Multi-Glyph Detection in CALL_GLYPH
Decision: Detect populated glyph_contexts and automatically enable multi-glyph mode.
Rationale:
- Implicit but intuitive workflow
- No new flags or parameters needed
- Works orthogonally with existing CALL_GLYPH
Usage Examples
