These diagrams provide structural reference for Paper 5 — The Universal Symbolic Interface (USI): Integration Layer. The paper is fully self‑contained in text form, but the integration geometry benefits from visual representation. These diagrams map the integration lattice, global coherence field, symbolic handshake, integration operators, invariants, integration objects, patterns, trajectories, and interface topology.
