D214 - Proposers pair with an oracle and ask for words

Status: decided Date: 2026-08-24

orbistoun-propose joins a proposer to an oracle, and no proposer is built before its oracle. The vocabulary proposer asks a model for words for a named grammar position, never for a name; it is never shown a hash, and a word must be one short capitalised token. A round returns what it found and discarded and writes nothing.

Why: a hash collision is proof, so an invented word costs nothing. A name confirmed through the word route is generated at a pattern and index, re-derivable by the audit; a name proposed whole could only say "something suggested this". Filtering patterns keeps recorded indices valid, where narrowing a slot renumbers them.

Rejected:

• Asking for whole names: a provenance category nothing can re-derive.
• A proposer for implementations: no oracle.
• Narrowing the sweep to only the new words: invalidates the recorded index.
