AttentionRouter

Inbound counterpart to Factory. Evaluates incoming signals (videos, articles, releases) against an explicit knowledge substrate and outputs evidence-linked verdicts on whether each can change a substrate node.

Not a content summariser, not an interest filter. AttentionRouter takes a signal — a video, an article, a release — and decides with evidence whether it can change a node of an explicit knowledge substrate (open questions, decided points, active trade-offs, running bets, rejected alternatives).

The verdict is contestable: you see the reasoning chain and can point to the exact step you object to. Same primitive as Factory — substrate, evidence, argued conclusion — pointed at attention defence rather than code generation.

Concept stage. The first practical step is in Factory: write an epistemic map of the substrate by hand, hand-label a small set of signals against it, produce a calibration dataset. The prototype lives in codecot/attention-router once the map exists.
