### Primary Chapter: 7. Propagators

**Concepts**: propagator, cell, constraint, bidirectional, TMS

### GF(3) Balanced Triad

```
cosmos-vulnerability-scanner (−) + SDF.Ch7 (○) + [balancer] (+) = 0
```

**Skill Trit**: -1 (MINUS - verification)


### Connection Pattern

Propagators flow constraints bidirectionally. This skill propagates information.
