Chromatic Rail, Trail, and Veil (AEC-RTV1): A Low-Symbolic Carrying Architecture for Externalized Attention, Route Residue, and Soft Afterfield Memory

Abstract This paper introduces Chromatic Rail, Trail, and Veil as a unified low-symbolic carrying architecture for the Ambient Era. It defines a bounded environmental and representational front through which messages, route states, reminders, notifications, payloads, and reversible residue can be placed, carried, transferred, and softly dissolved across everyday space. Earlier work in AEC-CMR1 established a continuous chromatic chain in which communication may transform from message → accept → route → residue → dissolve, rather than vanishing after transmission. Earlier work in RC-1 established that interaction may settle into a carried chromatic afterfield that preserves continuity without collapsing into…
