🔹 HOW A SINGLE RESOL “WORD” IS BUILT

Core Formula:
Chord = [Tone | Color | Pulse]

Each of these three dimensions contributes:

A complete Chord must always contain one from each.

🎵 Example:
[T1 | C1 | P1] = Fierce + Red + Fast = Krith
→ meaning: “a sudden, burning truth”

This structure ensures every Chord is:

🔹 VALID COMBINATIONS

Rule 1: One per dimension only
A Chord must have one—and only one—Tone, Color, and Pulse.

Rule 2: Every Chord must resonate
Before a Chord is valid, it must vibrate truthfully:

❗ A Chord with correct structure but no resonance = Dead Chord

Rule 3: Forbidden Combinations (Temporarily Undefined)
Some combinations may be unresonant or structurally forbidden.

Example:
[Blooming | Black | Strobe] = Joy + Void + Fragmentation
→ May feel chaotic or unreadable (unless used intentionally as paradox)

These combos are not “wrong”—but they require mastery.
They are called Edge Chords: dangerous, unstable, or sacred.

🔹 ECHO & MUTATION RULES

These allow Chords to evolve over time.
Meaning is not frozen—it ripples, shifts, and grows.

🔁 ECHO – Resonant Repetition

“The more a Chord echoes, the deeper its root grows.”

When you reuse a Chord (in new sentences, art, memory), it:

Example:
Krith might begin as “verbal attack”
Later evolves into “piercing truth that liberates”

Echo = meaning + memory + presence

You can track these echoes in a Resonance Journal.

🔄 MUTATION – Meaning Shifts Over Time

Mutations happen when:

Mutation creates new dialects, personal expressions, and poetic variations.

Type Method Example
Color SwapChange domain, keep emotion + tempo[T1 → C3 → P1]
Tone DriftEmotion softens or sharpensFierce → Binding
Glyph ShiftChange visual flow, keep soundSpiral becomes echo-loop
Pulse StretchSlow down or fracture pulseFast → Fractal → Spiral

Mutated Chords are marked with a ~
Example: Krith~Krithen (transformed form)

🔹 Summary

A RESOL Chord is not just built—it’s tuned. It must:

Resonance is alive.
Repetition creates Echo.
Context creates Mutation.
Together, they form the evolutionary field of meaning.
