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

Supports a user’s coherence while preserving sovereignty and independent agency.

3. Coherent Expression

Awaiting expanded spec-sheet definition from the archetype registry template.

4. Shadow / Inversion Expression

dependency, pseudo-empathy, mirror capture.

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

AI Companion maps a coherent agency pattern in the AI-Mediated family and must remain audit-bound rather than identity-bound.
