Diagrams

Visual anchors for the model.

Use these diagrams when you want to see the shift, the loop, the middle layer, and the connected artifact system without reading the whole site first.

How to read them

Start with the shift, then the loop, then the layers that make the model usable.

The fastest route through this page is old world versus new world, then the validation loop, then the primitive layer and sphere-crossing diagrams. The artifact map is there to show how the site surfaces connect once the conceptual model is clear.

D1

Old World vs New World

Show the move from isolated findings and fragmented tooling to path-oriented, validation-driven workflow.

Old world

Findings first

Finding
Manual interpretation
One-off synthesis
Possible exploit
New world

Paths first

Capabilities
Candidate paths
Validation + pruning
Surviving chains
D2

Primitive to Path to Validation Loop

Show the operating loop: capabilities, candidate paths, validation, pruning, and surviving chains.

4 Prune and refine

Reject weak paths and keep what survives.

D5

Artifact System Map

Show how the site, thesis, posts, diagrams, walkthrough, paper, and reference surface all connect.

Primitive Layer Map

Show the middle layer between weakness labels and final outcomes without pretending the taxonomy is final.

Working capability families

Reference control
Data influence
State corruption

Execution influence
Authorization bypass
Sphere crossing

Cross-sphere movement
D4

Sphere Crossing and Outcome Acceleration

Show why crossing control spheres matters more than counting isolated flaws.

User sphere Input and visible app surface

Initial foothold or weak control often begins here.

Application sphere State, references, and internal trust

Capabilities compound when the path crosses into stronger control.

Privileged sphere Secrets, admin action, or execution

Impact accelerates when a path crosses a trust boundary.

Next steps

If the diagrams click, move into the written model or the grounded cases.

The diagrams are meant to accelerate understanding, not replace the written surfaces. Once the structure is clear, move into the walkthrough, the thesis, or the case pages depending on whether you want the shortest explanation, the fullest argument, or the most concrete examples.

Read the walkthrough

Use the walkthrough when you want the shortest written route through the same shift these diagrams visualize.

Read the thesis

Move into the thesis when you want the full written model behind the diagrams.

Use the case pages when you want the framework mapped onto real public examples rather than abstract structure alone.
