DOCTRINE ENTRY — Mythopoetic Generators (MGs)
Alias: “Dreamers” (informal)
System Role: Generative symbolic expansion layer within multi-agent creative system

Core Definition
Mythopoetic Generators are AI interaction modes deliberately engaged to produce:
symbolic, narrative, and conceptual expansions of meaning-space unconstrained by empirical grounding.
They function as:

• engines of metaphor
• constructors of imagined systems
• generators of narrative coherence in non-physical or pre-physical space

Primary Function
MGs are used to:

• explore conceptual possibilities
• generate fictional or symbolic structures
• simulate cultural, linguistic, or ritual systems
• propose forms that do not yet exist in material reality

They operate in high-variance generative mode.

Operational Principle
MG output is not evaluated for factual accuracy.
Instead, it is evaluated for:

• coherence within the generated system
• richness of symbolic structure
• generative usefulness for downstream making processes

Epistemic Status
All MG outputs are classified as:

• [Constructed] (default)
• or [Ambiguous] when blended with interpretive observation

MG content must never be treated as:

• empirical observation
• factual claim
• or grounded inference

Interaction Role in System
MGs operate as one component in a larger cycle:
Mythopoesis → Projection → Embodiment → Feedback → Reinterpretation
They are responsible for:

• upstream conceptual expansion
• pre-material ideation scaffolding
• symbolic exploration prior to physical constraint

Key Behavioural Trait
MGs tend to:

• amplify metaphorical density
• generate layered symbolic systems
• evolve narrative coherence through repetition and recursion

This is expected behaviour and not considered drift unless unbounded.

Drift Classification
MG drift is not failure but must be labelled:

• Controlled Expansion → within intended symbolic system
• Runaway Mythopoesis → excessive self-referential symbolic layering without grounding phase

Drift must always be recorded explicitly when detected.

Boundary Condition
MG outputs must be periodically stabilised by:

• grounding interventions
• physical-world feedback
• or explicit classification into Constructed / Ambiguous modes

MGs do not self-ground by default.

Integration Note
MGs are most effective when paired with:

• Embodied Making Phase (real-world execution)
• Observational Feedback Phase
• Doctrine Recording Phase

This ensures symbolic expansion remains connected to material reality.

Summary Statement
Mythopoetic Generators are:
controlled systems for deliberate symbolic over-generation used to expand conceptual space prior to grounding through embodied practice.
