lex-cognitive-cocoon

Protective encapsulation of fragile ideas during development for LegionIO agents. Models cognitive cocooning — fragile ideas enter protective shells, gestate at complexity-appropriate rates, and emerge transformed.

Not all ideas are ready for the world. Some need protected incubation before they are robust enough to integrate with existing knowledge. This extension models that protective phase: ideas are wrapped in type-appropriate cocoons (silk, chrysalis, shell, pod, web) with different protection strengths, and gestate through stages until they are ready to emerge. Premature forced emergence applies a maturity penalty.

client = Legion::Extensions::CognitiveCocoon::Client.new

cocoon = client.create_cocoon(
  cocoon_type: :shell,
  domain: :identity,
  content: 'tentative belief about autonomy thresholds'
)

# Call periodically to advance gestation
5.times { client.gestate_all(rate: 0.1) }

client.cocoon_status
# => { total: 1, ready: 0, emerged: 0, ... }

ready = client.harvest_ready
