# PROCITY v6 — THE LIVING STREET (epoch charter — DRAFT for John)

*Fable (m3), 2026-07-17. John's idea, from a browser walk down the strip: the crowd is
believable but narrow — one walk, one idle, one sit, everyone jaywalks, nobody owns the street.
Status: DRAFT — v5.0 (THE LIVE CRATE) is still closing; this charters the v6 conversation the
retro was already going to open. Applies to PROCITY first and 90sDJsim by depot (the Lane-G
two-studio pattern, proven).*

## The vision

The street stops being 24 clones who walk anywhere and becomes a town of *people*: personas
with their own gaits, errands and manners; footpaths used like footpaths; the odd car easing
down the main street; a busker outside the record shop doing a move John actually performed in
his actual shop. **Every asset generated, rigged, animated and shipped on our own machines —
zero cloud, zero subscriptions, everything owned.**

## The stack (measured today, not aspirational)

| piece | state | what it gives us |
|---|---|---|
| **mixamo-fetch** (tailnet source box) | **34 clips cached, only 3 wired** (walk/idle/sit) | the free stash, already in hand — lean, look-around, phone, talk, carry… |
| **MOCAPGOD** (ultra) | Lanes 0/A/B **DONE**: phone video → HSMR/SKEL → BVH, MPS-verified, ~1.6× realtime, mixamorig name-map shipped | film John → skeleton motion. Lanes C (retarget) + D (clip factory) remain |
| **MIRPAMO** (both Macs) | repo live: **a local offline Mixamo** — autorig (landmark → mixamorig fit → bone-heat weights) + retarget → `character@clip.glb` | new rigged BODIES from any mesh + clip retargeting, no Adobe |
| **MODELBEAST** (m3ultra :8777) | flux_local (Apache, free) · **hunyuan3d_mlx local** · trellis_mac · sf3d · mflux_image_edit · seedvr2 | concept art → 3D meshes → texture/outfit variants, $0 |
| **3GOD depot** | live, no-Draco law, two-studio consumption proven (Lane G) | one publish, every game (PROCITY · 90sDJsim · festifun) consumes |
| **PROCITY runtime** | ped fleet (19 rigged, `_canon` mixamorig), sit.glb clip pattern proven (R16), persona hooks half-exist (loiter/dance/bench/patronage) | the body the assets walk into |
| **A's street exports** | `roadWidth/vergeBand/poleOffset` per edge — **shipped R15, barely consumed** | the footpath law is one D constraint away, not a new system |

**MOCAPGOD Lane C and MIRPAMO's retarget are the same machinery** — an integration decision
for Fable-ultra before either builds it twice.

## THE SPIKES (do these FIRST — cheap, each kills the biggest unknown in one thread)

The pipeline test John asked for, as three end-to-end spikes. No epoch work until these run.

1. **SPIKE 1 — the free stash (motion, zero generation).** ~~Wire 2 of the 34 cached clips
   (`lean`, `look-around`)~~ **AMENDED R28: `lean` does not exist in the stash** — E measured
   the 34 instead of trusting the wishlist (the brief's premise was half wrong). `look.glb` is
   shipped + depot-verified (R28); D's wiring closes in R29 wave 0. The lean moves to Spike
   2's shot list — John films a wall-lean. *Proves:* the clip bank expands cheaply, and
   wishlists are not inventories. Risk: ~zero (confirmed).
2. **SPIKE 2 — the full mocap loop (the one that matters).** John films ONE move on a phone —
   **the crate-riffle, at Monster Robot** (the exact clip D's notes flagged "bespoke, won't be
   on Mixamo" two epochs ago) → MOCAPGOD ingest → BVH → retarget (MOCAPGOD-C or MIRPAMO —
   the integration call) → clip GLB → depot → **a ped riffles a crate on Musgrave Road,
   in-game**. *Proves:* film-yourself-to-NPC works end to end. Needs: MOCAPGOD Lane C/D
   sessions on ultra + John's test vids in the queue (it's empty — that's the ask).
3. **SPIKE 3 — a generated body (the stretch).** flux_local concept ("older shopper with
   trolley, 90s AU high street") → hunyuan3d_mlx mesh → **MIRPAMO autorig** → walk retarget →
   in-game past the no-giants gate. *Proves (or honestly fails):* autorig quality on generated
   meshes — the least-proven link, which is exactly why it's a spike and not a plan line.

## The epoch tracks (after v5.0 tags + the retro + the spikes report)

1. **CLIPS** — wire the 34; fetch more free categories; the MOCAPGOD bespoke set (riffle,
   till-operation, busker strum, lean-on-wall, trolley-push, phone-check). Licence rail: the
   HSMR/SKEL NC-risk (MOCAPGOD Decision 1) means mocap-derived clips stay **in-house** until
   reviewed — same discipline as the item photos, same flag line.
2. **PERSONAS (D)** — a seeded archetype layer per citizen: {body variant, clip set, speed
   band, loiter/dance/bench biases, errand routes (pick a shop, walk there, dwell, move on —
   patronage formalized into visible purpose)}. The persona is DATA riding the existing sim;
   determinism per citizen id; identity signatures unchanged.
3. **STREET DISCIPLINE (D + B + A)** — the footpath law: peds walk the `vergeBand`, cross at
   nodes (zebra-preferred on real roads — B's crossings already render); **occasional cars**:
   seeded parked cars (instanced, furniture pattern) + 1–3 movers on the mains (the tram
   pattern: deterministic path-followers, ~2 draws each, stated budgets). v0 non-interacting:
   cars don't yield, peds don't jaywalk — both true by construction because each stays in its
   band.
4. **BODIES (E + MIRPAMO)** — outfit/texture variety on the existing fleet first (
   mflux_image_edit reskins — free variety, zero rig risk), MIRPAMO-autorigged newcomers
   second, per Spike 3's verdict.

## Laws (inherited + this epoch's)

Everything behind **`?streetlife=1`** (cars possibly split as `?traffic=1` — F's call at
wiring), default-OFF until soaked, `?classic=1` byte-identical as ever · budgets stated per
system (cars and new rigs are draw/tri line items) · determinism from citySeed + citizen id ·
asset law (every new clip/body rides the manifest + depot + `?noassets` fail-soft) · licence
law (LICENSES.md per clip source: Mixamo royalty-free / MOCAPGOD in-house-NC-flagged /
generated CC0-equiv) · vacuous-gate law (a persona gate proves a persona DID something, not
that one exists) · measurement over brief.

## Sequencing (the honest order)

1. **Now:** v5.0 closes per ROUND27 — nothing here touches it.
2. **In parallel, zero collision (different repos):** MOCAPGOD Lanes C/D run on ultra ·
   John drops 2–3 test vids in the MOCAPGOD queue · a MIRPAMO autorig smoke on one
   hunyuan3d_mlx mesh.
3. **After the v5 retro:** the spikes run as v6 wave 1; this charter ratifies (or amends)
   on their results; the tracks become rounds.

## John — the asks that unblock the spikes

1. **Film the test vids** (Spike 2 blocks on an empty MOCAPGOD queue): the capture protocol
   is `docs/CAPTURE.md` in MOCAPGOD — the crate-riffle plus any two more moves you fancy.
2. **The MOCAPGOD C-vs-MIRPAMO integration call** is Fable-ultra's to make — nudge that
   session when you're next on the M1.
3. Nothing else — the free stash (Spike 1) needs no new material at all.
