Call
What is here, and what must answer it?
The Call is the Manas correspondence: addressability before judgment. The active Flux contains more movement than one act can carry. Call receives present Intent, gives a movement a destination, and routes it toward a bounded relation without pretending that every opened continuation should happen.
The word works at two scales. In the First Invocation, the Magus’s outer Call establishes an address with a new center; inner Call distributes what that Invocation requires. The Called exists inside an address before it possesses an answer.
Call's opening takes concrete form within discovery: a question finds relevant scopes, owners, and possible routes through the work. Following a branch can reveal a witness or a constraint absent from the first account. What can be asked changes with what has become reachable. Manas meets the craft here through reception and address; Blade examines the relevance, sufficiency, and limits of what has been found. A missing premise can send Call outward again.
A familiar request may need only a quick route proposal. A specialized decision model can help Call identify a destination and express uncertainty without asking a general reasoning model to solve the task first. Specialized models for routing considers Jev and similar models as possible latency optimizations. Call and Blade name functions, not fixed model sizes or speeds: a quick proposal still meets discernment before action.
Call may turn toward a Seed and invite Recall, or open several candidates. That is opening, not selection. Unchecked routing takes the Rajas image of activity into branching without consequence; the guṇa correspondence keeps that image beside its source. Its proper completion is the Blade, which decides whether a line may proceed; Answer later bears the attributable act.
ADR 16 — SDLC owns the creation and promotion of candidates. Call names the opening through which a possible movement becomes addressable.
