Governance flip carrying Joshua Shay's ratification provenance inline (ruling 2026-07-17: "Ratify both"). Anti-self-Accept guard satisfied — status flips are authorized by explicit human ruling, not self-issued. - ADR-0245 → **Accepted** (clean): mechanical-sympathy + semantic-rigor §3 gate green — parity, f32 467× speedup, 0-LAPACK-on-repeat, collision-resistance. - ADR-0244 → **Accepted as an implemented mechanism** with a RATIFIED live-activation limitation: identity_wave_gate stays default-off and live activation is NOT authorized. Acceptance covers the operator-preservation manifold, fail-closed gate capability, γ_id calibration, telemetry, and lifecycle contracts — not a production flip. The Phase-3 calibration explicitly did NOT authorize activation (benign traffic not separable at the nominal frame; best balanced error 0.346). Activation is blocked pending a separately ratified ADR-0246 (induced action, lawful stabilizer, path integrity, semantic-frame discrimination) + renewed discrimination evidence + acceptable benign refusal rate + explicit human ratification. Governance additions (per the ruling): both ADR status lines carry "Accepted — ratified by Joshua Shay … acceptance-packet" (provenance-guard format); ADR-0244 header carries the Operational-status limitation paragraph + a machine-readable identity_wave_gate: ledger block (implementation: accepted / live_activation: not_authorized / default: off); both packet §8 RULING RECORDs RATIFIED with the "not safe-to-activate" caveat prominent. Plan doc Phase 6 → DONE. [Verification]: smoke 176 passed; provenance/ADR pins + all ADR-0244/0245 tests 503 passed (both-Accepted-with-provenance format enforced). Docs-only. |

CORE Documentation Index
This is the central index for all documentation in the CORE project.
Canonical Root Documents
- Whitepaper.md - The CORE architectural and philosophical whitepaper.
- Yellowpaper.md - Technical specifications and mathematical formulation of the CORE engine.
- PROGRESS.md - High-level project progress tracking.
- specs/runtime_contracts.md - Critical invariants and bounds for the runtime execution flow.
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>.mdconvention). - research/ - Raw research notes and preliminary findings.
- lab/ - Experimental content (Warning: Not ratified; must not be referenced as authoritative in production PRs).
