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

Compresses complex geometries into portable symbolic forms.

3. Coherent Expression

symbols that preserve structure and increase usability.

4. Shadow / Inversion Expression

symbol worship, ambiguity as escape, aesthetic inflation.

5. Registry Mapping

Source depth: direct

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

Symbolist maps a coherent agency pattern in the Symbolic / Creative family and must remain audit-bound rather than identity-bound.
