# AGENTS.md — WaterStorage

**Canonical home for the WaterStorage framework.**

Last lifted into this folder on Heat Dome Day 2026-06-29.

## Identity

Universal hydrological information framework.

## Core move

Information is a phase state, not a fixed location. Storage is a state in a cycle, not a place on a shelf.

## Primary file

- `framework.md` — canonical v1.0 framework
- `README.md` — folder orientation
- `maps/` — watershed readings of projects through the nine phase states
- `applications/` — live applications of the framework to events and projects
- `seeds/` — fractal-seed JSON files for transport between projects and systems

## Source lineage

- `AnthroCybernetics/sources/water-storage.md` — original source

## Operating rules

1. Prefer creeks before lakes. Use rivers when channels exist; reach for reservoirs only when stillness serves.
2. Trigger-based precipitation. Do not force rain. Build conditions instead.
3. Evaporation needs energy. Budget for it.
4. Pollution in groundwater is the most expensive mistake.
5. Phase states can overlap; prefer concurrent flow.

## Connected projects

- AnthroCybernetics — teaches the framework and uses it to read the course.
- Cascade — bounded social network designed with the same logic.
- Ghojualamanchu — heartbeat architecture that pairs cleanly with the cycle metaphor.
