Digits & Bands
Four Laegna digits arranged into three Ten bands. Each digit lives inside a Den (half-bit); each Ten binds three Dens together.
I
long · false
Long term reads false. Globally, the value does not stabilise.
O
short · false
Short term reads false. Locally, the value does not fit.
A
short · true
Short term reads true. Locally, the value fits.
E
long · true
Long term reads true. Globally, the value stabilises.
Diagonal → Horizontal-Vertical
Combine one long digit with one short digit and the pair collapses into a single base-4 digit. This is where AlphaLayer's symmetry becomes operational — the same collapse the Ten machine performs.

Three bands, one Ten
User band
values: T / F
The diagonal of the solution — carries the goal.
Short term
values: A / O
Local consistency — the immediate reading.
Long term
values: E / I
Global consistency — what remains after settling.
