Every correction here is to something I wrote earlier in this arc. Original text is preserved in place; nothing was rewritten to look right in hindsight. ADR-0264 §4.2 — CORRECTED block. I sized the eleven band ceilings from per-TERM exclusivity; `resolve_domain`'s predicate is per-PAIR, which is looser, so every ceiling was understated and one verdict was wrong: systems_software_causal is 720, not 630, i.e. reachable rather than impossible. Seven of eleven bands cannot reach 657, not eight. Downstream conclusions survive — physics·modal (480) is still impossible and philosophy_theology·modal is still the target. ADR-0264 R5 + DIVISION-OF-WORK ×2 + compile_premises docstring — the "verdict-identical" claim is exact only where the full family was READABLE. Over MAX_PREMISE_SENTENCES, full-family compilation refuses outright, so narrowing is verdict-IMPROVING there. Read literally the unqualified phrasing implies a 17-chain family keeps declining, which is backwards — the opposite of the unblock. E2 rename staleness, 4 sites: ADR-0256 (Accepted) named `gold.py::assert_corpus_sound`, which #119 deleted; the plan's E2 item and DIVISION-OF-WORK's §2 row, §4 heading and "renaming after that is strictly more work" reasoning were all still written as pending. DIVISION-OF-WORK §0b — new status table: which PR each unit is, what stacks on what, and the four things the units found that the plan did not predict. Adds the arc-close brief from ARC-CLOSE-TEMPLATE.md. Its §3 (falsified assumptions) is the section that cannot be recovered from the diff: nine entries, five of them corrections to my own claims. Records that the articulation trigger is not merely unmet but STRUCTURALLY unmeetable — the previous arc left it unrecorded, which is what kept it re-triggerable — and names four pieces of stale reasoning still in the tree, with files, since that is the class of staleness nobody greps for. [Verification]: in-worktree on canonical CPython 3.12.13 with `uv sync --locked`: smoke 569, deductive 291 — both baseline, since the only non-doc change is one docstring. |

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).
