02 — Candidate Registry Survey for 4 Mothers (live)

The prior bundle recommended running this survey. This bundle ran it against live directus. The Candidate Registry (CR) is the set of registries the 4 Mothers (MOIT inputs, MOUT outputs, MOT transforms, MOW workflow) need before they can be industrial object factories. This is a survey only — no 4 Mothers implementation, no table creation.

The 4 Mothers, for reference:

  • MOIT — Mother of Inputs (input forms / ingestion surfaces).
  • MOUT — Mother of Outputs (output tables / published surfaces).
  • MOT — Mother of Transforms (DOT functions / executors).
  • MOW — Mother of Workflow (workflow steps / human-org tasking & UI).

1. Survey method

to_regclass('public.<name>') for existence (null = absent), information_schema.columns for shape, count(*) for rows. Read-only role; zero mutation.

2. Named Candidate Registries — live status

Registry Status Rows Owner law Serves Recommendation
field_registry ABSENT (null) Đ36/Đ28 all 4 (field-level contracts) CREATE (CR build)
input_form_registry ABSENT Đ28/Đ7 MOIT CREATE
output_table_registry ABSENT Đ36 MOUT CREATE
dot_function_registry ABSENT Đ35 MOT CREATE (or formalize from dot_iu_command_catalog)
task_template_registry ABSENT Đ28/Đ7 MOW CREATE
tier_registry ABSENT Đ37 governance tiering CREATE

All six are genuinely paper — confirmed null via to_regclass. This is the dominant 4-Mothers blocker (not a wiring gap).

3. Adjacent registries that DO exist (reuse / extend candidates)

Registry Rows Shape highlights Reuse for
collection_registry 168 collection contracts MOUT output-collection backbone; extend, don't duplicate
collection_field_standards (present) field standards per collection extend toward field_registry rather than create cold
design_templates 1 Điều 28 template row MOW/MOIT UI surfaces must each be a template row; extend (only 1 exists)
governance_registry 5 code/gov_type/output_target/domain/created_by_law 4 Mothers must register here as gov_type='factory' (none do yet); extend
birth_registry 876047 Đ0-G industrial birth ledger every Mother-output binds here; reuse
binding_registry 0 (empty) iu_process_binding analogue; reuse/populate
event_type_registry 31 event contracts (no iu.* types yet) MOT/MOW event contracts; extend
workflows / workflow_steps 2 / 70 step graph MOW backbone; extend
iu_collection_template_registry (+version, +instance_lineage) (present) IU collection templating MOUT/MOW templating; reuse
table_registry 21 table contracts output_table_registry analogue; extend
measurement_registry / normative_registry / derived_objects_registry / universal_rule_registry 142 / 47 / 7 / 10 domain object registries reference; reuse where the Mother's domain overlaps
dot_iu_command_catalog 52 DOT command catalog the de-facto dot_function_registry for IU — formalize/promote rather than build a second one

4. Process-layer tables (also paper)

role_in_process, iu_process_binding, assembly_slot_registryABSENT. These matter for MOW (role-in-process) and assembly-first (Điều 7) but not for the IU pilot. species_collection_mappresent (supports Đ29 species mapping).

5. Mapping CR → 4 Mothers

Mother Primary CR need Existing substrate to extend Net-new
MOIT (inputs) input_form_registry, field_registry design_templates, collection_field_standards input_form_registry
MOUT (outputs) output_table_registry, field_registry collection_registry (168), table_registry (21), iu_collection_template_registry output_table_registry
MOT (transforms) dot_function_registry dot_iu_command_catalog (52), event_type_registry formalize dot_function_registry from catalog
MOW (workflow) task_template_registry, role_in_process, human-org roles workflows/workflow_steps, design_templates task_template_registry + human-org-role law (doc 07)
(all) tier_registry governance_registry tier_registry + factory rows

6. Key findings

  1. Reuse-first is viable. Most Mother needs map onto existing registries (collection_registry, table_registry, dot_iu_command_catalog, workflows, birth_registry, governance_registry). The genuinely net-new tables are: input_form_registry, output_table_registry, task_template_registry, tier_registry, and a formalized field_registry / dot_function_registry.
  2. dot_iu_command_catalog (52) already is the IU transform registry. Promote/alias it rather than building a parallel dot_function_registry — avoids a second SoT.
  3. No factory is registered. governance_registry has 0 rows of gov_type='factory' and no output_target set. 4 Mothers must be registered as Đ37 factories with output_target (user/system/assembly) before they can lawfully birth objects.
  4. Human-org roles are absent from governance (see doc 07) — blocks MOW specifically.

7. Blocker status

  • 4 Mothers: BLOCKED on CR build (6 registries) + factory registration + human-org-role law + P-pub block_new + production review_decision.
  • IU pilot: NOT blocked by CR — it operates on existing IU substrate.

8. Recommendation

Run IU_CANDIDATE_REGISTRY_BUILD_DESIGN (doc 08 prompt #2) as a design-first macro: design the 6 registries as additive tables, mapping each to its owner law and to the existing substrate it extends, with a reuse-vs-create decision per field. Do not implement until that design is reviewed. Promote dot_iu_command_catalog to satisfy dot_function_registry rather than create cold.
