#### Layer 8: Dream–Reflection Bridge (this session)
- **`dream_bridge.rs`** (~280 lines, 7 tests) — Connects ghost resonance to dream consolidation:
- `GhostRecord`: Sibling bundle packaged for dream input (branch DN, bundle, resonance, depth)
- `harvest_ghosts()`: Extract high-resonance sibling bundles from FeltPath
- `ghosts_to_records()`: Package ghosts as CogRecords (low NARS confidence, neutral frequency)
- `DreamReflectionConfig`: Ghost threshold, dream config, injection params
- `dream_reflection_cycle()`: Full integration — harvest ghosts → combine with session records →
dream consolidation → match novels against Explore nodes → XOR-inject as hydration context
- `dream_consolidate_with_ghosts()`: Lightweight variant (no injection)
- Verb: `VERB_DREAM_GHOST=0xF9`

#### Layer 9: MUL–Reflection Bridge (this session)
- **`mul_bridge.rs`** (~630 lines, 11 tests) — MUL metacognitive state driving reflection:
- `AdaptiveThresholds`: Surprise/confidence thresholds adapted by MUL state
- Trust modulation: Crystalline→+0.05, Dissonant→-0.08
- Homeostasis: Anxiety→conservative(+0.05), Boredom→aggressive(-0.05), Apathy→minimal(+0.08)
- False flow override: Severe→force explore (threshold=0.3)
- `mul_council_weights()`: Homeostasis-modulated council weights
(Anxiety→Guardian dominant, Boredom→Catalyst dominant)
- `reclassify_with_thresholds()`: Re-evaluate ReflectionEntries with MUL-adapted thresholds
- `mul_volitional_cycle()`: MUL-gated volitional cycle (gate check → council → reflect → reclassify)
- `reflection_to_mul_learning()`: Convert reflection outcomes → MUL PostActionLearning signal
- `mul_reflection_feedback()`: Full feedback loop — reflect, compute learning signal, feed back to MUL

concepts — the system can't reduce surprise at the current abstraction
level, so it elevates to a deeper rung.

### 6. Volition = Integrated Decision Score (Closes the Loop)
### 6. MUL State Modulates Reflection Sensitivity (New Bridge)

MUL state IS the system's prediction about its own epistemic capacity.
Reflection measures how well the tree structure predicts content (surprise).
The bridge connects these: the system's self-assessment (MUL) modulates
how aggressively it responds to prediction errors (reflection). Adaptive
thresholds shift based on trust level, homeostasis state, and false flow.
Feedback loop: reflection outcomes → PostActionLearning → DK + trust update.

### 7. Dream Ghosts = Cross-Hydration from Uncollapsed Context (New Bridge)

Ghost vectors (sibling bundles from felt traversal) have high resonance
but low confidence — they're contextual but unconfirmed. Dream consolidation
prunes the weak, merges the similar, and RECOMBINES to generate creative
novels. When a dream novel matches an Explore node, it's XOR-injected as
hydration context — the system literally dreams about its unresolved thoughts
and the dreams inform its next exploration.

### 8. Volition = Integrated Decision Score (Closes the Loop)

Volition score = `free_energy × ghost_intensity × (1 - confidence) × rung_weight`.
Four orthogonal signals: urgency (surprise), felt relevance (ghost resonance),

### High Priority — Next Code Steps

1. ~~**Volition module**~~ — DONE (commit `75f94fa`, 8/8 tests pass)
2. **Dream consolidation integration** — Connect lingering ghosts (bighorn) to
reflection's hydration candidates. High-echo ghosts should surface during
dream processing and become hydration context.
3. **MUL → Reflection bridge** — The MUL's 10-layer snapshot should feed into
`reflect_walk()` as the query container. MUL state IS the system's prediction;
reflection measures how well it matches reality.
2. ~~**Dream consolidation integration**~~ — DONE (`dream_bridge.rs`, 7/7 tests pass)
