00, the orchestrator

The zero element of the lane system.

A sanitized example. 00 is the central orchestrator. It is a control surface, not an execution surface.

What 00 does

• Intake: take in a request or an open thread and classify it.
• Routing: send a bounded task to the right lane.
• State reconciliation: check current state before interpreting any return.
• Memo generation: write the contract that a lane executes against.

What 00 does not do

• It does not execute lane work.
• It does not mutate repositories or documents directly.
• It does not stand in for a lane's own validation.

Why a zero element

Keeping orchestration separate from execution is what lets the lanes stay focused and the state stay trustworthy. 00 holds the map, and the lanes do the work.
