The Geometry of Civic Ascent
A multilayer network of the T / M / H framework.

The three planes (slow variables)
Stacked planes T · M · H
physical / institutional / dispositional
Reinforcement edges R
cross-plane coupling — the ascent engine
R = a₁MH² + a₂M²H + a₃TH² + a₄T²H + a₅T²M²
Inside the hexis plane
Disposition cloud (the drop note)
H is not a point — it is a population. Mean = H, spread = Var[h]
Contact network (the contagion note)
horizontal citizen-to-citizen edges
Two competing strains
civic confidence vs. anti-civic cynicism
Channels & pressures
δ — fast affective channel
vertical wire: shock site → hexis cloud
Shock
discontinuous punch to T and M
Leakage Λ
edges draining out of the stack
Decay (b) is the uniform downward drift on every plane — always present, shown as the slow sink of the whole stack.
