Hot-Brain Observability for Deployed AI Agents

SPVE's hot-brain layer is a monitoring instrument, not a biological claim. It records functional state variables such as attention load, working-memory pressure, predictive error, executive control, reward drive, social model update, self-model continuity, and pragmatic intent precision. The aim is practical: when many agents are working at once, an operator needs to see overload, pressure, repair, and readiness before the next outcome arrives.
