Two additions found while designing Phase 1's projection.
1. NEW §1.7 — band v1b serves malformed surfaces today, user-visible:
in : All dogs are mammals. All mammals are animals.
Therefore all dogs are animals.
out: Given: all dog are mammal; all mammal are animal.
That's valid — all dog are animal follows.
render.py::_CATEGORICAL_PHRASE uses plural syntax ("all {s} are {p}")
but interpolates the reader's SINGULARIZED entity ids, with no
re-pluralization step — because reader and renderer sit on opposite
sides of the §1.3 seam. Affects every plural noun, regular or
irregular; 4 of 47 ratified corpus cases that serve a categorical
clause (ds-v1-0023/0024/0026/0028). wrong=0 is NOT threatened — every
verdict is correct; this is purely surface.
Compounding cause: the reader's plural table has 8 entries where the
v3-MEM band's has 29, so wolves->wolve, knives->knive, leaves->leave,
lives->live, halves->halve, loaves->loave, thieves->thieve,
elves->elve. CORE's two readers disagree on 12 of 20 plurals. The
wrong singulars do not break soundness (uniform deterministic
bijection) but they are why cause 2 needs a SHARED table.
2. CORRECTED §4 — the earlier draft claimed "Phases 1-3 cannot change
serving behaviour." That was wrong, and it is the same shape as the
mistakes this arc exists to fix: I classified a table as off-serving
without asking which callers reach it. reader.py::_IRREGULAR_PLURALS
IS serving-reachable (comprehend -> to_syllogism -> v1b ->
deduction_grounded_surface).
New rule: a table is off-serving only when EVERY caller is proven
eval-only. Phase 2 splits on that test into 2A (off-serving,
byte-identical) and 2B (serving tables + the render fix,
authorization-gated). Phase 2A now ships a caller-provenance test so
this check lives in the tree, not in a reviewer's head.

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).
