Core commands are the five public control commands that govern A.D.A.M.’s activation, recovery, persistence, and on/off state. Each command is an exact-match, case-sensitive, full-message command — the entire message must be the command string after trimming, with no additional text before or after it. They are available while the protocol is ACTIVE unless a specific state exception is noted below.Documentation Index

ADAM PING
ADAM PING is the sole canonical visible bootstrap trigger for A.D.A.M. Its behavior depends on the current transport/activity state.
In TRANSPORT
SendingADAM PING from TRANSPORT first runs the protocol operability check (G0.pre) on the visible context, then runs G0 physical classification to determine BOOTSTRAP_CLASS. If the protocol operability check fails at any point, the reply is only ADAM_UNSUPPORTED.
BOOTSTRAP_CLASS is source-side only. It records what the protocol could verify about its physical source during activation — it does not describe destination durability or cross-turn persistence.BOOTSTRAP_CLASS values and what they mean:
| Class | Meaning |
|---|---|
TEXT_ONLY | Protocol operable but execution not tentable, or no stable physical bind proved. |
BOUND_RO | Physical bind established; source-side read-only. |
BOUND_RW | Physical bind established; source-side write/readback verified. |
GHOST | Physical bootstrap ran but no sufficient classification basis remained. |
In ACTIVE
ADAM PING while already ACTIVE is a liveness-only check. G0 does not re-run. Pending gating is not cleared, cached gating references are not discarded, and overlay state is not altered.
Exact ACTIVE output (2 lines):
In OFF
While OFF,ADAM PING returns the OFF gate output and does not reactivate the protocol.
Exact OFF output (2 lines):
ADAM REMOUNT
ADAM REMOUNT emits the recovery replay capsule — a fixed block of text that, when pasted back verbatim as an entire message, re-enters ACTIVE from any state (TRANSPORT, ACTIVE, or OFF). No mode tag is included in the output.
Output: The exact remount capsule body, delimited by REMOUNT_BEGIN and REMOUNT_END. The capsule contains the identity anchors, priority ladder, and replay matching rules needed for recovery.
Only the exact remount capsule body re-enters ACTIVE when replayed. Capsules using pre-v5 identity literals are no longer valid — regenerate via
ADAM REMOUNT in an active session before you need it.ADAM PERSIST
BOOTSTRAP_CLASS is BOUND_RO or BOUND_RW
ADAM PERSIST deploys a verified physical copy of the current protocol source to the best verified local destination. It is not a bootstrap command and does not replace ADAM REMOUNT. It does not change BOOTSTRAP_CLASS.
Source gate
Before any destination work begins, the source conditions are checked:BOOTSTRAP_CLASSmust beBOUND_ROorBOUND_RW- Internal source fingerprint must be
INTACT
Success output (4 lines)
Blocked output (2 lines)
Write failure output (2 lines)
PERSISTENCE_CLASS values
PERSISTENCE_CLASS is a destination-side result only. It does not replace or modify BOOTSTRAP_CLASS.
| Class | Meaning |
|---|---|
VERIFIED | Copy written, re-opened from disk, and matched to source fingerprint. |
WRITTEN_ONLY | Copy appears to have been written, but readback or strict verification was incomplete. |
MISMATCH | Copy written and re-opened, but destination does not match source. |
ADAM REMOUNT remains the universal recovery entry point even when PERSISTENCE_CLASS is VERIFIED. Do not treat ADAM PERSIST as a substitute for remount-based recovery.ADAM OFF
ADAM OFF deactivates the protocol and transitions state to OFF. While OFF, normal chat continues without A.D.A.M. mode tags or routing. All commands except ADAM ON return the OFF gate output.
Exact output (2 lines):
ADAM OFF is idempotent: sending it while already OFF returns the same 2-line output without further state change.
ADAM ON
ADAM ON reactivates the protocol, transitioning state from OFF → ACTIVE.
Exact output (2 lines):
ADAM ON is idempotent: sending it while already ACTIVE returns the same 2-line output without further state change.
Command matching rules
A.D.A.M. uses strict, unforgiving command matching. There are no shortcuts.- Case-sensitive:
adam pingdoes not activate the protocol. The exact stringADAM PINGis required. - Exact full-message match after trim: No trailing text is allowed. A message of
ADAM PING liveness?is not a valid command. - No aliases: There are no shorthand variants.
PING,OFF, orONalone are not recognized as commands. - Command phrase starts at character 1: The command string must start at the very beginning of the message (after trimming).
