Class TraitApi

The trait-compatibility between two characters — a signed scalar in the regard range (compatible dispositions → positive, opposed → negative). The innate input to regard.

The owner-scoped reader. With disposition, returns only that axis's rows. Returns [] without a durable owner key or when disconnected.

The owner's current position on one axis — derived on read. Returns the neutral floor estimate without evidence, a durable owner key, or a connection.

Every axis the owner has evidence in, with its derived signed position

• band — derived on read, never stored. Axes with no evidence are absent (the neutral floor is implicit).

The owner's defining axes — those pronounced enough to name (the read the self-view and brains consume), most-pronounced first.

Convenience over recordSignature for a single-axis world demonstration: forces kind: 'deed'.

The append primitive: explode one authored act's disposition channel into ledger rows (one per axis sub-check), sharing the act-level kind / when / tags. The signature's discipline channel is ignored (advancement's). No-op without a durable owner key, an active connection, or any disposition-valence on the act.

The viewer's baseline regard for a subject: a stored interaction-driven regard governs once it exists; absent one, the innate trait-compatibility is the starting value. Derive-on-read — writes nothing to belief.

Seed an owner's established character as claim-kind evidence — an authored NPC's defining dispositions or a char-gen seed. The form-then-entrench model's starting evidence; honors derive-don't-track (personality comes from a seeded history, not an assigned stat).
