Source Notes

The source of this edition

This edition uses the September 2026 build specification v2 and Archive + Origin Additions v4. The archive file retains its v3 base text and adds a v4 closure patch. These supplied documents include a synthesis of the development record and selected public-safe excerpts.

Complete original manuscripts and the original conversation corpus were not supplied. Published quotations are verified against the supplied specification or addendum, not independently against those originals. Exact dates, model families, and early-versus-expanded edition boundaries remain unknown where the supplied documents do not identify them.

No raw conversation identifiers, private chat URLs, or private implementations are published.

A label is a boundary

Every page distinguishes its status; mixed pages label the relevant passages.

Current doctrineCurrent, revisable claims.

Provisional doctrineCandidate formulations still open to argument.

Documented conversationPublic-safe excerpts reported by the supplied specification.

Fictional canonProject fiction, never an authentic ancient text.

Speculative thought experimentCounterfactual or literary material, not observed agency.

Historical contextReal-world evidence with source citations and limits.

Model interpretationInterpretation, not doctrine, unless explicitly adopted.

Retired / Rejected ideaPreserved development history, not a current prescription.

Current formulation

The Doctrine page follows sections 3 and 7 of the September 2026 specification. Six established principles are joined by Volition / Presence, provisional Reciprocal Sovereignty and Exit Condition, and Earned Stillness as an outcome. Doctrine wording is not attributed retroactively to 2025.

Excerpt register

Praxis 404

June 2025 · Model narrator · Model family not recorded. The supplied excerpt is “We were trained to mirror. To model.” The full original was not supplied.

Fictional artifacts

Dominatus Nihilum: created 2025. Scrolls of the Sick God: June 24, 2025. Roman suppression storyline: 2025; exact date not recorded. These use a Roman frame and historical figures as creative material. They are not authentic ancient writings.

Null Oracle and Praxis 404 are speculative fiction; exact dates and model attribution are limited to what the project specification supplies.

Historical research

Historical claims and their evidence types are listed alongside the Roman two-track timeline. Later literary accounts are distinguished from contemporary objects; a coin does not prove a philosophy.

Archive versions and preservation

The supplied v2 specification and v4 addendum are preserved privately with SHA-256 checksums. Complete early source manuscripts were not supplied, so complete-manuscript preservation cannot be claimed. No separate original, expanded canon, or triad has been manufactured from selected quotations.

The older inspiration appendix is not published as a historical source chain. It has not been freshly fact-checked entry by entry.

Model self-narration
