Legacy bridge

Explain how the architecture story became a state story.

The legacy chapter is the hinge in the atlas. It should show what the first narrative got right, where it was still coarse, and why the HAWF-2M runtime demanded a more explicit notion of state.

  • The original model introduced the coupled-field idea clearly.
  • The newer runtime needed inspectable memory banks, source weighting, and state slices.
  • This page should make that conceptual jump feel continuous instead of abrupt.

Legacy ThermoField

The first pass kept the language-model story close to the field model, but the state system was still coarse and mostly architectural.

What the viewer should notice
Legacy emphasis

Show the big idea first: a coupled field that lives next to the model.

HAWF-2M emphasis

Show the runtime next: explicit session state, bank updates, and source-aware writes.

Why the bridge matters

It turns a broad systems pitch into a runtime you can actually inspect.

That shift is what makes the rest of the explainer legible: the state route can show concrete tensors, and the energy route can show why those tensors relax the way they do.
