1. Canon Definition

Timing-Keeper is an archetype in the Interface family.

This entry is directly defined in the archetype registry source list.

This entry is not an identity, title, personality type, or moral status. It is a principle-intersection geometry used to map coherent expression, shadow risk, relational impact, timing, restoration, and scaling behavior.

2. Core Function

Determines when, where, and how far action should proceed.

3. Coherent Expression

scale-aware, rhythm-aware intervention.

4. Shadow / Inversion Expression

paralysis, premature action, rigid timing formulas.

5. Registry Mapping

Source depth: direct

Interface: WIₐ

6. Template Expansion Notes

The full ARCHETYPE-TEMPLATE.md expansion should add:

• principle basis and Sigma boundaries
• interface stack profile
• operator and coupling profiles
• scaling risks
• diagnostics
• restoration arc
• AI-mediated use
• symbolic / teaching translation

Entry Closure

Timing-Keeper maps a coherent agency pattern in the Interface family and must remain audit-bound rather than identity-bound.
