08 — 4 Mothers Entry Gate Board

Explicit board: what is now unblocked, what remains blocked, what runs in parallel, and whether we can start 4 Mothers design-implementation (still no UI, no runtime).

1. The 4 Mothers

MOW (Mother of Work), MOT (Mother of Task), MOIT (Mother of Input), MOUT (Mother of Output) — industrial object factories under Đ0-G birth + Đ37 governance.

2. Now UNBLOCKED (✅)

• IU pilot operation — adoptable now (doc 01); runs independently of the Mothers.
• KG enrichment — live (doc 03); IU edges now carry Đ39 slots; unified read surface v_kg_edges_all.
• Candidate Registry planning — reuse map + DDL ready (doc 02); 5/8 families resolve to existing anchors.
• Master Design reconciliation — patch-ready (doc 04).
• P-pub S1 (warn) + vocab expansion — safe additive, ready (doc 05).
• Human-org-role law drafting — drafted (doc 07).

3. Still BLOCKED (⛔) — the 4 hard gates before any Mother runtime

Gate	Blocks	Unblocked by
G1 — Candidate Registry governed birth	all Mothers (no field/form/output/tier registry to read)	doc 02 DDL applied through birth contract + Đ32
G2 — Human-org-role law ratified + born	MOW-UI, Governance Cockpit, production approvals	doc 07 ratification + birth
G3 — Production review_decision builder	any production Mother output (Đ32)	doc 06 builder, council-authored, needs G2
G4 — Factory registration in governance_registry	each Mother as a Đ37 factory (gov_type='factory', output_target)	governed insert of 4 factory rows + Đ32

4. Parallelizable now (no inter-dependency)

• IU pilot drills ∥ KG backfill/vocab ∥ Candidate Registry DDL finalization ∥ P-pub S1 ∥ human-org-role ratification prep ∥ Master Design patch.
• G3 depends on G2; G1/G2/G4 are independent and can proceed in parallel.

5. Can we start 4 Mothers design-implementation?

YES for design-implementation planning (schemas, factory contracts, registration sequences, template definitions) — the Candidate Registry foundation (doc 02) is enough to specify what each Mother reads/writes. NO for runtime / UI — forbidden until G1–G4 clear. A Mother cannot lawfully emit a born object without the registries (G1), the factory row (G4), and a production review_decision (G3), and cannot expose a human surface without the role law (G2).

6. Is the Candidate Registry foundation "enough to start"?

• Enough to start design-implementation: yes (reuse map + DDL + owner-law + Mother-dependency matrix).
• Enough to start runtime: no — needs the governed birth (G1) so the registry tables actually exist and are registered.

7. Recommended next 3 large macros (ordered)

1. IU_CANDIDATE_REGISTRY_GOVERNED_BIRTH_LIVE_FOUNDATION_500000X (clears G1; doc 02 DDL via birth contract).
2. IU_HUMAN_ORG_ROLE_LAW_RATIFY_AND_BIRTH_500000X (clears G2; doc 07) ∥ IU_KG_RELATION_BACKFILL_AND_VOCAB_EXPANSION_LIVE_300000X (KG forward path).
3. IU_4MOTHERS_FACTORY_REGISTRATION_AND_SUBSTRATE_DESIGN_600000X (clears G4 + designs the substrate; still no UI).

8. Gate verdict

4 Mothers entry: 6 of 6 adjacent foundations advanced; 4 hard gates (G1–G4) remain, each with an explicit unblock macro. Design-implementation may begin; runtime/UI stays forbidden until G1–G4 clear.
