\section{EchoKey v2: A Guided Walkthrough}

\subsection{Purpose (one paragraph)}
    EchoKey v2 asks a simple question: \emph{can we compose equations from different traditions using a small set of reusable, mathematically explicit operators?} We treat each operator as a “library” acting on functions or dynamical rules. This document only defines the objects, states the questions we try to answer, and shows how the pieces fit together. No applications or claims are made here.

\section{Guiding Questions}

\begin{enumerate}
    \item What minimal state space is needed so that all libraries act without contradiction?
    \item How should each library be written as an operator (domain, codomain, algebraic rules)?
    \item When do composed programs (chains of operators) define a well-posed evolution?
    \item What small set of compatibility assumptions guarantees existence/uniqueness?
    \item Which quantities are invariant under composition?
    \end{enumerate}

\section{State, Observables, and Programs}

\begin{definition}[State and observables]
    Let $\mathcal{H}$ be a Banach space (state space). A \emph{program} is a map
    \[
    E:\mathbb{R}_{\ge 0}\times \mathcal{H}\to \mathcal{H},\qquad (t,x)\mapsto E(t,x),
    \]
    representing an evolution rule. An \emph{observable} is any $F:\mathcal{H}\to \mathbb{R}$.
    \end{definition}

\begin{definition}[EchoKey operators (libraries)]
    We introduce seven operators acting on programs and/or observables:
    \[
    \mathcal{C}\ \text{(Cyclicity)},\quad
    \mathcal{R}\ \text{(Recursion)},\quad
    \mathcal{F}\ \text{(Fractality)},\quad
    \mathcal{G}\ \text{(Regression)},\quad
    \mathcal{S}\ \text{(Synergy)},\quad
    \mathcal{N}\ \text{(Refraction)},\quad
    \mathcal{O}\ \text{(Outliers)}.
    \]
    To avoid symbol clashes: \emph{Refraction is $\mathcal{N}$} (not $\mathcal{R}$).
    \end{definition}

\section{Library Definitions (v2)}

All text below is constructive; where conditions are needed for rigor we state them explicitly.

\subsection{Cyclicity $\mathcal{C}$}
    \begin{definition}[Periodic decomposition]
    For $f\in L^2([0,T])$, choose a periodic basis $\{C_n\}_{n\ge0}$ (e.g.\ sines/cosines). Define
    \[
    \mathcal{C}[f](t)\;=\;\sum_{n\ge0}\big\langle f,\,C_n\big\rangle\,C_n(t),
    \]
    with convergence in $L^2$. For a program $E$, act in the time argument:
    \[
    \mathcal{C}[E](t,x)\;=\;\sum_{n\ge0}\big\langle E(\cdot,x),\,C_n\big\rangle\,C_n(t).
    \]
    \end{definition}

\subsection{Recursion $\mathcal{R}$}
    \begin{definition}[Iterated self-application]
    Given a map $f:\mathcal{H}\to\mathcal{H}$, define $f^{\circ 0}=\mathrm{Id}$ and $f^{\circ (n+1)}=f\circ f^{\circ n}$. For a program $E$, the recursive lift is
    \[
    \mathcal{R}_N[E](t,x)\;=\;E\bigl(t,\;E^{\circ N}(0,x)\bigr),\qquad N\in\mathbb{N}.
    \]
    When $f$ is a contraction, $E^{\circ N}(0,x)\to z^*$ and we write $\mathcal{R}_\infty[E](t,x):=E(t,z^*)$.
    \end{definition}

\subsection{Fractality $\mathcal{F}$}
    \begin{definition}[Scale transform]
    Fix $\lambda>1$ and weights $(\alpha_k)_{k\ge0}$. For an observable $F$,
    \[
    (\mathcal{F}F)(x)\;=\;\sum_{k\ge0}\alpha_k\,F(\lambda^k x).
    \]
    For a program $E$, act in state:
    \[
    \mathcal{F}[E](t,x)\;=\;\sum_{k\ge0}\alpha_k\,E\!\left(t,\,\lambda^k x\right),
    \]
    with absolute convergence assumed.
    \end{definition}

\subsection{Regression $\mathcal{G}$}
    \begin{definition}[Mean-reverting envelope]
    Let $x^\star\in\mathcal{H}$ and $\lambda>0$. Define
    \[
    \mathcal{G}[E](t,x)\;=\;x^\star+\big(E(t,x)-x^\star\big)e^{-\lambda t}.
    \]
    This damps trajectories toward $x^\star$ without altering fixed points at $t=0$.
    \end{definition}

\subsection{Synergy $\mathcal{S}$}
    \begin{definition}[Coupling of components]
    For programs $E_1,\dots,E_m$ and a symmetric kernel $K:\mathcal{H}\times\mathcal{H}\to\mathbb{R}$,
    \[
    \mathcal{S}[E_1,\ldots,E_m](t,x)\;=\;\sum_{i=1}^m E_i(t,x)\;+\;\sum_{1\le i<j\le m}\kappa_{ij}\,K\!\big(E_i(t,x),E_j(t,x)\big).
    \]
    Higher orders can be added analogously.
    \end{definition}

\subsection{Refraction $\mathcal{N}$}
    \begin{definition}[Layer/domain transform]
    Let $L\in\mathbb{N}$ be a layer index and $Z:\mathbb{N}\to(0,\infty)$ an impedance. Then
    \[
    \mathcal{N}[E](t,x;L)\;=\;\frac{Z(L)}{Z(0)}\,E(t,x).
    \]
    More generally one may allow $Z$ to depend on $(t,x)$; in that case measurability and boundedness are assumed.
    \end{definition}

\subsection{Outliers $\mathcal{O}$}
    \begin{definition}[Impulse superposition]
    With event times $(t_k)$, weights $(w_k)$, and jump map $\Delta:\mathcal{H}\to\mathcal{H}$,
    \[
    \mathcal{O}[E](t,x)\;=\;E(t,x)\;+\;\sum_{k} w_k\,\mathbf{1}_{\{t\ge t_k\}}\,\Delta\big(E(t_k^-,x)\big).
    \]
    \end{definition}

\section{Composition}

\begin{definition}[EchoKey composition]
    A \emph{program expression} is any finite composition of the seven libraries applied to a base program $E_0$:
    \[
    \mathcal{H}_{\mathrm{EchoKey}}
    \;:=\;
    \mathcal{A}_1\circ \mathcal{A}_2\circ\cdots\circ \mathcal{A}_q\,[E_0],
    \qquad
    \mathcal{A}_j\in\{\mathcal{C},\mathcal{R},\mathcal{F},\mathcal{G},\mathcal{S},\mathcal{N},\mathcal{O}\}.
    \]
    The expression is \emph{admissible} if every intermediate map is well-defined on $\mathbb{R}_{\ge 0}\times\mathcal{H}$.
    \end{definition}

\begin{definition}[Execution]
    Given an admissible expression $\mathcal{H}_{\mathrm{EchoKey}}$ and an initial state $x_0\in\mathcal{H}$, the trajectory $x(t)$ is defined implicitly by the evolution rule
    \[
    x(t)\;=\;\mathcal{H}_{\mathrm{EchoKey}}(t,x_0),
    \]
    or, when a differential form exists,
    \[
    \frac{dx}{dt}\;=\; \Phi\bigl(t,x(t)\bigr),\qquad \Phi \text{ induced by } \mathcal{H}_{\mathrm{EchoKey}}.
    \]
    \end{definition}

\section{Minimal Well-Posedness Questions}

We record the exact questions we investigate for any concrete choice of data.

\begin{enumerate}
    \item \textbf{Domains.} For which $(\alpha_k)$, $K$, $Z$, $(t_k,w_k)$, and $\lambda$ do all sums converge uniformly on compact time intervals?
    \item \textbf{Stability under $\mathcal{G}$.} For fixed $x^\star$ and $\lambda>0$, does $\mathcal{G}$ preserve Lipschitz continuity in $x$?
    \item \textbf{Contraction via damping.} If $E_0$ is locally Lipschitz and $\sum_k |w_k|<\infty$, can one pick $\lambda$ so that the overall map is a contraction on a ball around $x^\star$?
    \item \textbf{Synergy bounds.} What conditions on $\kappa_{ij}$ and $K$ ensure
    $
        \big\|\sum_{i<j}\kappa_{ij}K(E_i,E_j)\big\|
        \le M\sum_i \|E_i\|
    $
    for some $M$?
    \item \textbf{Refraction regularity.} If $Z$ depends on $(t,x)$, which regularity assumptions keep $\mathcal{N}$ from introducing discontinuities?
    \end{enumerate}

\section{Two Basic Results (to verify in each instance)}

\begin{theorem}[Existence under uniform bounds]\label{thm:exist}
    Assume: (i) $\sum_{k\ge0}|\alpha_k|<\infty$; (ii) $\sup_{t,x}\sum_{i<j}|\kappa_{ij}|\,
    |K(E_i(t,x),E_j(t,x))| < \infty$; (iii) $\sup_L Z(L)/Z(0) < \infty$; (iv) $\sum_k |w_k|<\infty$; and (v) $E_0$ is locally Lipschitz in $x$. Then any finite EchoKey composition built from these data defines an admissible program $\mathcal{H}_{\mathrm{EchoKey}}$ on $\mathbb{R}_{\ge 0}\times\mathcal{H}$.
    \end{theorem}

\begin{theorem}[Uniqueness via damping]\label{thm:uniq}
    Under the assumptions of Theorem~\ref{thm:exist}, if in addition $\mathcal{G}$ is used with $\lambda$ large enough so that the induced right-hand side $\Phi(t,x)$ is (locally) a contraction in $x$, then the corresponding initial value problem has a unique solution on some time interval containing $t=0$.
    \end{theorem}

\paragraph{Remark.} These theorems are recorded as targets; for any concrete instantiation we check the hypotheses mechanically and, if needed, refine the bounds.

\section{Worked Micro-Example (symbolic only)}

Let $E_0(t,x)=x$ (identity program). Choose data so that all series are absolutely convergent and $Z(L)\equiv 1$. Consider
    \[
    \mathcal{H}_{\mathrm{EchoKey}}
    \;=\;
    \mathcal{G}\circ \mathcal{S}\circ \mathcal{F}\circ \mathcal{C}[E_0],
    \]
    with a single coupling pair ($m=2$). Then, symbolically,
    \[
    \mathcal{C}[E_0](t,x)=\sum_{n\ge0}\langle x,C_n\rangle C_n(t),\qquad
    \mathcal{F}\mathcal{C}[E_0](t,x)=\sum_{k,n}\alpha_k\langle \lambda^k x,C_n\rangle C_n(t),
    \]
    \[
    \mathcal{S}(\cdot)(t,x)=U_1(t,x)+U_2(t,x)+\kappa\,K(U_1(t,x),U_2(t,x)),
    \]
    and finally
    \[
    \mathcal{G}(\cdot)(t,x)=x^\star+\big(\mathcal{S}\mathcal{F}\mathcal{C}[E_0](t,x)-x^\star\big)e^{-\lambda t}.
    \]
    This shows how each library contributes without appealing to any application.

\section{Open Items for v2}
    \begin{itemize}
    \item Sharpen sufficient conditions in Theorems~\ref{thm:exist}–\ref{thm:uniq}.
    \item Catalog invariants of $\mathcal{H}_{\mathrm{EchoKey}}$ under permutations of the libraries when their actions commute.
    \item Characterize the minimal damping $\lambda$ that guarantees contraction after a given synergy level.
    \item Determine the weakest assumptions on $K$ that still yield a closed energy estimate.
    \end{itemize}
