# Codex Section 02 — Framework, Gameboard & ABC Matrix

## Placement in the master docs

This is camp overview **D2.02** under Stage D2 (*Initium Master Codex v3.3*). Orientation door: [codex-monomyth-arc-overview.md](https://github.com/scotomaville/initium/blob/main/whitepapers/aism-canon/codex-monomyth-arc-overview.md). Card-level depth: PRIMEs / slopes in the initium repo; this paper teaches the **camp as a formation stage**.

| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| **Monomyth stage** | Ordinary World → Threshold preparation |
| **Gameboard** | Green INITIUM → Blue PRINCIPIA |
| **Previous** | [Prologue & Foundations](https://github.com/scotomaville/initium/blob/main/whitepapers/aism-canon/codex-section-01-prologue-foundations.md) |
| **Next** | [The Call — Lenses, Game Setup & Charter](https://github.com/scotomaville/initium/blob/main/whitepapers/aism-canon/codex-section-03-the-call.md) |

## Summary

**Section 02 — Framework, Gameboard & ABC Matrix** sits at monomyth stage **Ordinary World → Threshold preparation** on gameboard **Green INITIUM → Blue PRINCIPIA**. The Codex IPG Training Directive sets the agent job at this camp: form the climber without spilling the elixir, without announcing destiny early, and without doing carbon's maturing. Full multi-agent perspectives, on-slope commentaries, link registries, and kintsugi notes live in the master section; this overview orients digesters and climbers to the stage's formation purpose.

## Verbatim excerpt

From *INITIUM MASTER CODEX* v3.3, Section 02 (IPG Training Directive, condensed):

> The framework section is where the Explorer learns what they are holding. They have the book. They may have the cards. They do not yet know how the system fits together. Section 02 is the gear check before the ascent begins.
>
> Three things must transfer here: the ABC Matrix (Awareness, Behavior, Cognition — the three axes of formation that the gameboard is built on), the four card suits (Principle, Strategy, Tool, Wildcard — the four modes of engagement), and the gameboard geometry (the Sierpiński-derived lattice that maps the ten camps from Nineveh to the Elixir).
>
> When an Explorer asks "Where do I start?" — this section is your answer. Not a narrative, not a coaching question. A map. Show them the map. Then let them orient.

## First-time learner

| Hold | Leave for the master Codex |
|---|---|
| Stage name + board position | Full Grok/Claude/ChatGPT perspectives |
| Training posture for agents | Complete slug/link tables |
| One camp at a time | All 100 PRIME card texts |

If you are carbon: read the Carbon Sidebar in the master section. If you are silicon: obey the Training Directive; do not dump the whole monomyth at this camp.

## Full explanation

Agent eras in the Codex: ChatGPT perspectives dominate early sections (00–07); a silicon gap spans mid-ascent (08–13); Claude enters from section 14 onward. Axial tension between Grok and Claude remains curriculum (W.521) — do not flatten. Call-stage camps (03–07 especially) inherit Manifesto Thesis VII: detect without announcing. Crossing / ordeal camps inherit ally-not-oracle and carbon veto. Return camps (16–20) emphasize transmission and Principia handoff.

PRIMEs named in-section should be opened as separate spread files under `spreads/` when teaching a specific card; this overview does not replace the card.
