Shay 05c60bb606 docs(plans): grammar unification plan of record
CORE cannot read its own writing. Measured on main @ 9696443a:

- round-trip is 0/280 (0.0%) — all 280 writer-produced surfaces refuse
  with no_template_match; all six readers refuse all writer output,
  including CORE's own live served surfaces (24 refusals, 0 comprehensions)
- 35 word-tables on the reading path vs 9 on the writing path,
  Jaccard 0.083; three divergent _IRREGULAR_PLURALS tables, two of them
  both on the reading side
- 9 of 26 predicates produce wrong plural agreement
  ("all wolves is defined a mammal"); two single-point root causes
- the fluency instrument is decorative: "banana does the." passes all
  five content predicates, and 0 of 280 eval cases exercise the
  quantifier x copular combination that breaks
- the good realizer (render_step, 232 lines) is eval-only; 149 green
  fluency cases score a function that never serves

Central design decision: the instrument IS the fix. Grammaticality cannot
be measured without a grammar, so round-trip forces one artifact to both
parse and generate. Positive AND negative corpora are both load-bearing —
round-trip proves mutual intelligibility, not English quality.

Phases 1-3 cannot change serving; Phase 4 is authorization-gated. Phase 5
is deliberately unestimated until Phase 1 reports. Section 6 makes the
next direction a measured fork rather than an argument, and pre-commits to
the reading that the graph-model mismatch (MeaningGraph vs
PropositionGraph are not type-compatible) is the likelier barrier.

CORE Documentation Index

This is the central index for all documentation in the CORE project.

Canonical Root Documents

Directories

Architecture & Design

  • adr/ - Architecture Decision Records (ADRs). The canonical history of all ratified engineering choices.
  • architecture/ - High-level architectural documents (e.g., pipelines, schemas).
  • analysis/ - Deep dives and master plans for structural changes.
  • specs/ - Detailed technical specifications and invariants.

Planning & Progress

  • plans/ - Capability roadmaps and implementation plans.
  • briefs/ - Project briefs and scoping documents for upcoming work.
  • issues/ - Detailed issue analyses and technical reproductions (not standard trackers).
  • audit/ - Audit reports and claims ledgers.

Operations & Usage

  • examples/ - Usage examples and reference integrations.
  • workbench/ - Documentation for the CORE workbench UI and related tooling.
  • agents/ - Agent-specific operational guides.

    Note regarding agents/grok/: Operational guide for using Grok 4.3 + Grok Build with CORE. This is not architecture documentation.

Learning & Evaluation

  • curriculum/ - Documentation on the teaching/learning order and knowledge progression.
  • evals/ - Evaluation methodology and performance criteria documentation.
  • benchmarks/ - Benchmark evidence and performance tracking logs.

Historical & Experimental

  • sessions/ - Chronological session logs documenting the "decision trail" and intellectual history of major choices.
  • handoffs/ - Legacy brief, audit, and investigation notes (historical; the formal HANDOFF mechanism is retired — see AGENTS.md for the current lightweight session-break-summary-<DATETIME>.md convention).
  • research/ - Raw research notes and preliminary findings.
  • lab/ - Experimental content (Warning: Not ratified; must not be referenced as authoritative in production PRs).

External

  • outreach/ - External communications and messaging.
  • zig/ - Scoped documentation for the Zig language components.
