# FORM — Organa

Methodology map for **deterministic vault enforcement** (linter + Organa MCP) vs **ad-hoc human editing**. Axis: [FORM_PROTOCOL.md](../FORM_PROTOCOL.md). **Citations / tools:** [BOOK.md](BOOK.md). **Triad:** [README.md](README.md) · [BOUNTY_BOARD.md](BOUNTY_BOARD.md) · [WORLDLINE.md](WORLDLINE.md).

**Non-negotiable:** No LLM inside `vault-lint.py` / `organa.py` core — [docs/TRUTH_SPEC.md](docs/TRUTH_SPEC.md).

---

## A. The two paradigms

| Axis | Orthodox (manual + judgment) | Ours (rules + diffs) |
|------|-------------------------------|----------------------|
| **Philosophy** | Editors fix what they notice | Machine-checkable invariants; humans handle exceptions |
| **Parameters** | Informal | Rule IDs, config files, versioned schemas |
| **Win** | Flexible | Same repo state ⇒ same lint output |
| **Lose** | Brittle when tired | Cannot encode **intent** — needs WORLDLINE for rationale |

---

## B. Head-to-head axes (seed)

| Axis | Manual | Organa |
|------|--------|--------|
| HALO keys | Spot check | Parse + report |
| Broken links | Click | Deterministic grep / rules (where implemented) |

---

## C. Murder board

| “Orthodox” failure | Organa response |
|--------------------|-----------------|
| False confidence from LLM “cleanup” | **Out of scope** — Organa does not call LLMs |
| Rules lag new vault patterns | Bounty: extend HALO_LINT_SPEC + tests |

---

## D. What we take honestly from orthodox

- Editor integrations (VS Code / Cursor tasks) — see [FAMILIAR_HOUSE.md](FAMILIAR_HOUSE.md).
- Community markdown standards — only where they do not fight HALO.

---

## E. Proof experiments

- Each new rule ships with a minimal fixture and a log line in WORLDLINE.

---

## F. Survey

- Cross-link **06** only when graph checks or import rules are shared — do not duplicate Daemon physics here.

---

## G. Adoption priority

| Priority | Item |
|----------|------|
| **NOW** | BOOK pins for toolchain |
| **NEXT** | FORM §B examples of real lint failures |
| **LATER** | Optional badge or CI summary (if added) |

---

## H. Assessment

Organa is **reflex**, not genius. The FORM exists so we never confuse **deterministic enforcement** with **understanding** — narrative stays in WORLDLINE.
