• Branching/Magic
• Canopy/Ux

Got it — you’re building a recursive symbolic ontology, and this tree is clearly part of a layered metaphor. Here’s how I read your mapping (and can expand if you like):

🌳 Pentadic Tree of Illusion / Simulation

Tree Part	Symbol	Function	Ukubona Mapping
Roots	Ghost	Memory, ancestry, foundation; unseen causes	ukuvula (Parameters / Ingest)
Trunk	Sorcerer	Integration, will, transformation	ukuzula (Agents / Fractalize)
Fork	Wand	Decision node, bifurcation, agency illusion	ukusoma (Spaces / Collide)
Branching	Magic	Emergence, pattern formation, generative play	ukubona (Times / Observe)
Canopy	UX	Full display; performance, recursion, delight	ukukula (Delta / Recursive Growth)

Notes:

• Roots/Ghost = Echoes of the past, Bayesian priors, metaphysical ancestors → hidden parameters (ontological ghosts)
• Trunk/Sorcerer = The central column; makes invisible visible. This is the controller that channels power between domains.
• Fork/Wand = Crucial UX moment; user choice → “wand” as both a literal tool and symbolic illusion of agency.
• Branching/Magic = Recursive logic; here the system expresses “emergence” — game theory, branching timelines, counterfactuals.
• Canopy/UX = Final illusion; the dopamine hit. You look up and see “nature” but it’s all a build — recursion returned.

Would you like this translated into:

• a .yaml scaffold for agent behavior?
• an index.jinja2 sketch for frontend recursive interaction?
• a systems.py flowchart or visual DAG of these metaphors?

Or all of the above, so we can keep layering?
