It does not redefine structure, navigation, truth grammar, or application eligibility. ",

Invariant Semantic Fields\n\n=== PDF PAGE 2 ===\nAmbient OS recognizes the following invariant semantic fields:\n\n•\nRed — Presence, being, home-state\n\n•\nOrange — Desire, play, comfort\n\n•\nYellow — Intention, action, navigation\n\n•\nPink — Relation, contact, communication\n\n•\nGreen — Health, regulation, care\n\n•\nBlue — Information, organisation, work\n\n•\nPurple — Infrastructure, institutions, transit\n\nField identity is immutable.\n\nColor defines meaning, not decoration.\n\n⸻\n\n3.

Commercial Color Expression (AAC-1)\n\nCommercial entities are restricted to FCV-6 expression:\n\nFCV-6 = { Red%, Orange%, Pink%, Green%, Blue%, Purple% }\n\nRules:\n\n•\nResidency color equals dominant FCV-6 field.\n\n•\nCross-field blending is prohibited.\n\n•\nYellow is never registrable, ownable, or expressible.\n\nYellow represents human will and navigation and is structurally non-commercial.\n\n⸻\n\n=== PDF PAGE 3 ===\n5. Chromatic Weather\n\nChromatic weather represents system-level semantic modulation:\n\n•\nWarm Bloom — Meaning intensification\n\n•\nCool Drift — Return toward ChronoSense\n\n•\nShimmer — ΔR instability indicator\n\n•\nFade — Residency exit\n\nConstraints:\n\n•\nRed never shimmers.\n\n•\nLegacy states never bloom.\n\n•\nYellow may shimmer during active choice.\n\n⸻\n\n6.

Chromatic Scope & Design Boundary\n\nAmbient OS is a chromatic operating system.\n\nColor is not an optional presentation layer but a primary semantic medium.\n\nAP₁.2 does not claim universal perceptual accessibility.\n\nIt defines semantic coherence within a color-based system.\n\nThis constitutes explicit scope definition rather than limitation.\n\nJust as some users do not adopt touch interfaces or immersive VR, Ambient OS is intended for\n\nusers able and willing to operate within chromatic semantics.\n\nAccessibility adaptations may exist outside this specification, but must not alter field identity,\n\nsemantic roles, or chromatic grammar.\n\n⸻\n\n9. Role of Artificial Intelligence\n\nArtificial intelligence supports chromatic legibility but does not define meaning.\n\nAI may:\n\n•\nprovide spatial, temporal, or infrastructural context,\n\n•\nsupport color stability and timing,\n\n•\nassist in rendering fields readable.\n\nAI may not:\n\n•\ninitiate navigation,\n\n•\nselect destinations,\n\n•\ndefine intent,\n\n•\noverride user choice.\n\nNavigation occurs only when the user explicitly activates Yellow.\n\nAI renders the field legible; it does not decide where the user goes.\n\n=== PDF PAGE 5 ===\n⸻\n\n10.
