cognitive-folding

Fold-engine treats JSON as a bounded cognitive surface rather than an infinite tree. The goal is to keep attention in a small, meaningful window while keeping the rest of the set reachable.

Cognitive anchors

• Working memory constraints (4±1 items)
• Executive function and attention gating
• Determinism over novelty

JSON lens

• Unknown JSON is still navigable through schema-bound projections.
• jq/jaq select structure; folds bound attention.
