Twenty-three archetypes, organised by regime face. The original nine staked out the operating-point space. The fourteen new entries map the faces of each regime. Conservation has five faces now: field (built environment), quiet (empty with rare events), textile (hex motif), motif (anvil-carried archetype), site (mixed-density clusters), rest (very sparse), tower (isometric architecture). Construction has four: plan, monument, anchor, weave. Pot has three: capacitor field, population, ornament. Encounter has three more besides four-cycle-meeting: parade, apparatus, hex meeting. Plus diagonal weave, meeting assembly, four regimes speaking, hex patchwork, isometric stack.
Why this many. Each regime has multiple legible faces because each regime is multiple things. Conservation can be archive, quiet, or building. Construction can be blueprint or monument. The gallery reflects the framework prediction: L4 archetypes are operational shapes, not arbitrary catalogue entries. The studio is now producing the prediction empirically.
