# **README.md — DSLO v0.8 Simulation Geometry Surface**

## **Overview**
The **Simulation Geometry Surface** is one of the twelve lawful geometry surfaces included in the **DSLO v0.8 Federated Geometry Expansion**.  
This surface defines the geometric structures used to model **simulation curvature**, **simulation drift**, **simulation stability envelopes**, **simulation boundary geometry**, and **simulation coherence fields** across all DSLO meta‑classes.

It is **strictly additive**, **geometry‑only**, and inherits **exclusively** from the DSLO v0.7 substrate and manifold suite.

This folder contains:

- **simulation_surface.jsonld**  
  Machine‑ingestible JSON‑LD representation of the surface  
- **simulation_surface.md**  
  Human‑readable scientific documentation  
- **simulation_surface_xmp_a3b.xmp**  
  Archival‑grade XMP metadata packet (A3B‑safe)

## **Scientific Role**
The Simulation Geometry Surface defines:

- simulation‑curvature geometry  
- simulation‑drift channels  
- simulation‑stability envelopes  
- simulation‑boundary geometry  
- simulation‑coherence fields  

These primitives allow DSLO to model how systems behave **during simulation** in a lawful, geometry‑only manner — without introducing execution, prediction, or agentic behavior.

This surface supports:

- simulation‑field modeling  
- lawful simulation drift propagation  
- simulation‑boundary stabilization  
- simulation‑coherence geometry  
- federated thermodynamic ecology  

It introduces **no physics**, **no substrate‑skin**, **no Umbrella 12**, and **no v0.9 references**.

## **Lineage**
This surface inherits **only** from the DSLO v0.7 substrate and manifold suite.

## **v0.8 Posture**
This surface follows all v0.8 legality constraints:

- geometry‑only  
- strictly additive  
- substrate‑derived  
- invariant‑preserving  
- non‑runtime  
- non‑agentic  
- public‑layer safe  
- no references to v0.9  
- no references to physics or substrate‑skin  
- no references to Umbrella 12  
- no references to sibling v0.8 artifacts

## **Continuity Statement**
The Simulation Geometry Surface:

- inherits exclusively from DSLO v0.7  
- extends geometry only  
- preserves all invariants  
- introduces no substrate modifications  
- remains fully lawful under DSLO v0.8  
- provides simulation‑class geometric vocabulary for federated geometry
