The Mage Extension: Soulbae's Browser Manifestation

Subtitle: The Emissary's Spell Orbit — 8 Spells for Understanding

Version: 1.0

"The Mage casts outward — projecting understanding onto the page."
"Eight spells to understand. Eight bits of sovereign data."

Abstract

The Mage Extension (codenamed mages-spell) is the browser manifestation of Soulbae, the Emissary agent in the dual-agent sovereignty architecture. Operating on the left side of the sovereignty interface, the Mage deals in understanding — quick reactions, information processing, and spell casting for privacy assertion.

This document describes the Mage Extension's architecture, spell system, control scheme, and integration with the training ground at agentprivacy.ai.

The Emissary's Role

In the dual-agent architecture, the Mage (Soulbae) handles:

Projection — Acting publicly using only Swordsman-authorized information
Understanding — Processing page content and privacy implications
Delegation — Executing coordination tasks on behalf of the First Person
Spell Casting — Quick privacy assertions through emoji-based spells

The Mage does NOT inject a canvas overlay. All visual rendering is delegated to the Swordsman, who owns the single canvas. When present together, the Mage sends spell data to the Swordsman for unified rendering.

The Control Scheme

Brain Hemisphere Mapping

The Mage operates on the left brain paradigm:

Cognitive Mode	Mage Characteristic
Sequential	Spell-by-spell casting
Logical	Privacy rule application
Action-oriented	Quick response to trackers
Language	Proverb invocation

Mouse Interaction

Action	Result
Left-click tap	Cast last selected spell
Left-click hold	Show spell orbit menu (6 spells)
Release after hold	Cast selected spell
M key	Open spell editor

Keyboard Shortcuts

Shortcut	Action
M	Open spell editor
Ctrl+Shift+1-6	Quick cast orbit spell 1-6
Ctrl+Shift+7-8	Quick cast reserve spell 1-2

The Eight Spells

The Mage wields 8 spells — the number of bits in a byte, the number of I Ching trigrams, the number of directions. 8 spells = 1 byte of sovereign data.

Distribution: 6 Orbit + 2 Reserve

         8 = 6 orbit + 2 reserve

    ✦ Orbit (active)          ✦ Reserve (swappable)
    ────────────────          ────────────────────
    🛡️ Shield                 💎 Crystallize
    👁️ Insight                📜 Proverb
    🔒 Seal
    ✨ Clarity
    🔥 Purge
    🌙 Shadow

Radial Geometry

The orbit menu displays 6 spells in hexagonal symmetry — 60° per segment, optimal for radial selection:

           Shield 🛡️
              │
    Shadow    │    Insight
      🌙 ╲    │    ╱ 👁️
          ╲   │   ╱
           ╲  │  ╱
    ─────────[✦]─────────
           ╱  │  ╲

     Purge    │    Seal
              │
           Clarity ✨

Yang-Yin Balance

The 8 spells maintain perfect equilibrium:

Yang (Assertive)	Yin (Receptive)
🛡️ Shield	👁️ Insight
🔒 Seal	✨ Clarity
🔥 Purge	🌙 Shadow
💎 Crystallize	📜 Proverb

4 yang + 4 yin = perfect equilibrium

Repertoire Sync

The Mage syncs with the training ground at agentprivacy.ai:

`mage_cast_history`	chrome.storage	Cast history (extension-owned)

Constellation System

The Mage maintains a constellation of cast spells — a visual representation of sovereignty assertions accumulated on the page.

Spell Nodes

Each spell cast creates a SpellNode in the constellation:

interface SpellNode {
  id: string
  spell: {
    type: 'emoji' | 'proverb' | 'keyword' | 'hexagram'
    content: string
    yangYin: 'yang' | 'yin'
    grimoireId?: string
  }
  x: number
  y: number
  opacity: number
  pulse: number
  castAt: number
}

Pattern Detection

The constellation system detects emerging patterns:

Trigram formations — 3 aligned spells
Hexagram completions — 6 spells in I Ching formation
Yang clusters — Assertive spell concentrations
Yin pools — Receptive spell concentrations

Rendering Delegation

The Mage does NOT render the constellation directly. Instead, it sends constellation data to the Swordsman:

sendToSword({
  type: 'CONSTELLATION_UPDATE',
  nodes: constellationState.nodes,
  edges: constellationState.edges,
  patterns: constellationState.patterns
})

Hexagram State Machine

The Mage maintains a 6-bit hexagram state based on the I Ching:

┌───┬───┬───┬───┬───┬───┐
│ 1 │ 0 │ 1 │ 0 │ 1 │ 0 │  ← Binary lines
└───┴───┴───┴───┴───┴───┘
  ═   ╴   ═   ╴   ═   ╴    ← Yang/Yin visualization

Mutation Rules

The hexagram mutates based on spell casting:

Event	Mutation
Yang spell cast	Flip random yin line to yang
Yin spell cast	Flip random yang line to yin
Orb convergence	Flip 2 random lines
Pattern completion	Reset to resonant hexagram

Deep Scan System

The Mage performs deep page scanning to identify privacy threats:

Scan Targets

Target	Detection Method
Trackers	Script pattern matching
Cookie banners	DOM element detection
Forms	Input field analysis
Privacy links	Anchor text matching
Dark patterns	UI manipulation detection

Attractor System

Detected threats become attractors that influence the Mage orb's movement:

interface Attractor {
  x: number
  y: number
  strength: number
  type: 'tracker' | 'form' | 'cookie-banner' | 'privacy-link'
}

The orb is drawn toward attractors, visualizing where privacy attention is needed.

Home Territory Mode

On home territory domains (agentprivacy.ai, spellweb), the Mage activates enhanced features:

Enhanced Capabilities

Capability	Description
Repertoire sync	Read training progress from localStorage
Spell broadcast	Notify website of spell casts
Orb convergence	Participate in dual-orb ceremonies
Mana tracking	Earn/spend proof-of-practice tokens

Spell Mathematics

The number 8 represents:

Symbol	Meaning
8 bits	1 byte of sovereign data
8 trigrams	☰☱☲☳☴☵☶☷ — I Ching fundamentals
8 directions	Cardinal + ordinal orientation
Octave	Completion of cycle, return at higher level

The Ratio

Mage : Swordsman = 8 : 7

8/7 ≈ 1.142857142857...

The repeating decimal 142857 is the "cyclic number"
— multiply by any digit 1-6 and get the same digits rotated

This ratio creates asymmetric harmony:

The slight excess of Mage spells reflects the emissary's reactive nature
More options for quick response
Balances the Swordsman's deliberate constancy

Integration with Swordsman

When both extensions are present, they form a dual-orb ceremony:

Discovery Protocol

1. Mage broadcasts: { type: 'MAGE_PING' }
2. Swordsman responds: { type: 'SWORD_PONG', orbPosition }
3. Mage sends constellation data
4. Swordsman renders unified view
5. Orbs can now converge for ceremonies

Convergence Ceremonies

When Mage and Swordsman orbs overlap:

Ceremony	Trigger	Effect
Dual Convergence	Orbs touch	Mutual hexagram mutation
Spell Exchange	Hold during convergence	Swap spell/stance data
Bilateral Witness	Extended convergence	Generate shared proof

The Mage's Proverb

"The Mage deals in information and understanding. 8 spells = 8 bits = one byte of sovereign data. Cast quickly, cast often. The emissary acts so that the master may deliberate."
