The Wellbecoming Router

Capture records; Wellbecoming interprets

The observed time slice tells us what happened, when, with what evidence, and in what context. It does not yet say what the moment did to the human.

~WellbecomingProtocol supplies six canonical routes for that interpretation:

• ~~Physiology for bodily-state context;
• ~~Emotion for embodied state patterns;
• ~~Feeling for subjective interpretation;
• ~~Thought for cognitive state and models;
• ~~Habit for cues, routines, consistency, and recurring behaviour;
• ~~Performance for outwardly legible contribution.

The first five are private human-state routes by default: five private routes that may contribute to a scoped update inside ~WellbeingIdentity without opening a public commons claim.

Emotion is not feeling

Emotion and feeling are related, not interchangeable. An emotion route may describe an embodied pattern inferred from available signals. A feeling route describes the person's subjective and cognitive interpretation of that state.

There is no one-to-one lookup table in which one signal proves one emotion or one emotion dictates one feeling. Confidence, evidence type, observer confirmation, and uncertainty must remain visible.

Performance is a gateway

Performance is part of Wellbecoming because contribution can affect the human as well as the commons. But it has a second role: it is the only Wellbecoming node that may open the route into ~SAOcommons.

That route opens only when the event carries an eligible Learning, Earning, or OrgBuilding output under a community's rules. Performance does not guarantee approval, public disclosure, or financial value. It creates eligibility for governed review.

Five routes can return privately. Performance may also ask the commons to respond.

Evidence and limitation

The routing architecture keeps inner state and outward contribution from becoming the same claim. It does not solve classification ambiguity. An event may touch several routes, evidence may conflict, and the observer must be able to correct a proposed route.
