# Hyphegesis Protocol Conduct how a session's epistemic work will be carried out — the order, independence, reconciliation, termination, and routing of its cognitive moves — when that method is underdetermined before object-level cognition begins. The morphism is **design THEN hand off**: Hyphegesis designs a conduct topology over the protocol graph and emits a method plan with in-session checkpoints, then stops; the substrate executes the moves. Type: `(MethodUnderdetermined, Hybrid, CONDUCT, WorkProspect × ProtocolGraph) → ConductedMethod`. ## Definition **Hyphegesis** (ὑφήγησις: a leading-the-way, guiding from just ahead): A dialogical act of conducting a session's epistemic work — deciding how its multiple cognitive moves relate in order, independence, reconciliation, termination, and routing — when the method is underdetermined while the goal is clear. The protocol's lexical verb is `/conduct`. It activates only when the work needs two or more moves whose conduct is non-trivial (single-move work relays to that one protocol), designs the conduct topology impact-first (locking stable axes, deferring volatile ones to in-session checkpoints), surfaces substrate feasibility as a handoff annotation, compiles a Recognition brief into each synthesis checkpoint (the structured fusion presentation the substrate executes there), assembles a cross-cutting trace contract (its disclosure overlay over the five axes — residuals, degradations, coverage caps, never silent), and hands o...
