How this differs from keyword cross-pollination
- Mechanism first — 10-axis signatures, not topic name mashup.
- Transfer only disagreeing axes — Tesla move: keep skeleton, import 1–3 properties.
- Compile to codec algebra — axes force ops (intern/patch/gate/plan…).
- Measure — token proxy + fidelity proxy on fixed prose corpus.
- Void + taboo — sample unoccupied cells; down-rank pure rediscovery.
There is no free magical codec. There is systematic search for
high utility (saving × fidelity) operators under no-retrain constraints.

Hard truth
A 'magical free codec' would mean: arbitrary English → far fewer tokens,
perfect recall, better reasoning, zero schema design. **Information theory
and model interfaces forbid the free part.** What you can invent is a
new operator in the codec algebra (new addressing×update×credit combo)
that wins measured utility — the induction-motor analogue is a new relation,
not zero cost.
