D25 ledger ruling, canonical (dual-axis). "RESOLVED: Both coexist. ETYMOLOGY (Noology Dictionary): COMPANION = Creativity Operator Mediating Planning Alongside Neural-Inspired Operational Norms. 'The Muse. Mediates between Host Creative Self and District norms. Ensures output matches preferences and vibe.' BEHAVIORAL (cogloop.md, see also D10/D15): Learns Looper behavior, develops solutions from preferences (fix/diagram/brainstorm/systemic view/augment), then asks Advisor.

Content
The Companion is the Muse archetype of sapiens3: "Learns the Looper's preferences and develops creative solutions; does not advise." [src: wiki/GLOSSARY.md:777] It is level 5 of the 8-level mobilizer-level ladder (… ASSISTANT < COMPANION < ADVISOR …, D1) [src: HOS-Webdoc/web/src/lib/sapiens3/types.ts:30] and one of the 6 datan archetypes. It mediates between the host Creative Self and districts norms; when a solution needs a ruling, it escalates to the advisor.

- Character: "The Companion is the maintainer, bringing the creative self of the Holon Print of the brain of the Human Looper) and the Prosperity definer for the Consumer." (sic) — the Companion carries the holonprint-derived creative self of the human looper. [src: wiki/development/prompts-archive/by-topic/knowledge-management-and-concept-modeling.md:547]
- Neural substrate: "adapted inteligence set to the creative self and holon print of the Human Host ( Being a Adaptative Inteligence Companion)" (sic). [src: wiki/development/prompts-archive/by-topic/knowledge-management-and-concept-modeling.md:544]
- Knowledge role: "Knowledge Architect - companion". [src: wiki/development/prompts-archive/by-topic/knowledge-management-and-concept-modeling.md:555]
- RUN role: "RUN MANAGEMENT - COMPANION". [src: wiki/development/prompts-archive/by-topic/knowledge-management-and-concept-modeling.md:565]
Note the deliberate axis split in RUN staffing versus squad chain: the assistant takes RUN Leadership, the Companion takes RUN Management, the advisor takes RUN Maintainer — "This is the same for any Loop, Run, Node, Cycle, Looper (Humans with Neural Engine), Agent (Datans with Neural Ware)." [src: wiki/development/prompts-archive/by-topic/knowledge-management-and-concept-modeling.md:569]

Composition
- uses: holonprint (creative self of the human), host data, Companion Loop (preference learning, D18 loop type), genome (identity carrier)
- used-by: looper (its human's preferences), advisor (receives its escalations), squad (RUN Management role), cognitive-loop
