Blank human decision — no canonical promotion yet
The operating-system branch (registries, review templates, dashboards, queues, publisher) supports every step but is itself a design intervention whose net benefit is untested.
Authority rules reconstructed
- Evidence outranks authority when claims conflict, per research charter.
- An accepted human decision outranks a proposal summary for governance state.
- Frozen instrument documentation controls quantitative interpretation for its run.
- Theory v0.1 is the best current explanatory synthesis but remains provisional.
- Top-level draft principles are normative inputs, not validated findings.
- Generated output is derived evidence, not automatically canonical.
- Recency and filename do not establish acceptance.
Divergence and unresolved provenance
- Normative branch: broad engineering discipline and product relevance.
- Empirical branch: narrow characterization method with Low/Very Low causal confidence.
- Grammar branch: finite reasoning primitives versus prompt-induced convergence.
- Execution branch: separate execution grammar versus incomplete unified vocabulary.
- Representation branch: backbone invariance versus detailed instability and recognition effects.
- Governance branch: append-only aspirations versus editable Markdown and sparse supersession links.
