New Canonical Documents

Path Status Notes
docs/README.md Created Navigation guide and structure explanation
docs/invariants.md Created 17 core invariants extracted from README.md, REE_CORE.md, DANIEL_README.md
docs/architecture/entities_and_binding.md Created Extracted from DANIEL_README.md Layer 3
docs/claims/claims.yaml Created Machine-readable claim registry with 28 claims
docs/claims/claim_index.md Created Human-readable claim index

Remaining Original Files (Supplementary)

These files remain in their original locations as they provide additional detail or alternative perspectives:

Path Type Relationship to Canonical
architecture/trajectory_selection.md Implementation Detail Overlaps with e3.md; provides additional implementation guidance
architecture/depth_phase_spec.md Mechanism Hypothesis Referenced by MECH-001; provides detailed phase-compatibility specification
architecture/precision_scoping.md Mechanism Hypothesis Referenced by MECH-002; provides τ-scoped precision rules
architecture/control_plane_signal_map.md Implementation Detail Supplements control_plane.md
architecture/why_attention_must_be_fragmented.md Rationale Document Supports INV-009
architecture/serotonin.md Mechanism Detail Supplements control_plane.md neuromodulatory section
architecture/precision_control.md (Check if exists) Related to control_plane.md
architecture/path_authority_and_interrupts.md Implementation Detail Related to control_plane.md

Subsystems (Preserved Structure)

These subsystems retain their original structure under architecture/:

  • architecture/sleep/ → Referenced from canonical docs
  • architecture/language/ → Referenced from canonical docs
  • architecture/social/ → Referenced from canonical docs

Semantic Mapping

Self Definition

Canonical Location: REE_CORE.md §4 “Self (Operational Definition)”

Definition: The Self is the currently committed trajectory prefix, continuously re-anchored to shared sensory evidence and hippocampal path memory, and extended forward by hippocampal rollouts seeded by fast predictors.

Status: Should be promoted to invariant or architectural commitment

Related Claims:

  • INV-012 (Commitment Gates Responsibility)
  • ARC-003 (E3 Selects and Commits Trajectories)
  • ARC-008 (Hippocampal Braid Stores Path Memory)

E1 Implementation Constraint

Source: DANIEL_README.md Layer 3 §1

Claim: “E1 is a predictive field, not a deep network. Shallow, recurrent, multi-rate. Iterative refinement over a shared latent space. Columns as local predictive kernels.”

Status: Mechanism hypothesis not yet formally documented

Action Required: Create docs/architecture/hypotheses/ or add to MECH claims

Compatibility Notes

Forward Compatibility

Original paths in architecture/ remain accessible. No links will break.

Canonical References

New documents should reference canonical locations in docs/architecture/ rather than original architecture/ locations.

Cross-Reference Strategy

  1. Canonical documents link to each other within docs/
  2. Supplementary documents in architecture/ link to canonical documents
  3. Root documents (README.md, REE_CORE.md) link to canonical docs/ locations

Archive Strategy

Content Not Yet Archived

No content has been moved to docs/archive/ yet. All original files remain in place.

Future Archive Candidates

Files that may be archived after canonical consolidation:

  • Duplicate definitions in multiple files
  • Superseded specifications
  • Draft documents that have been formalized

Conflicts and Forks

Detected Conflicts: None

The consistency analysis found:

  • ✓ No circular dependencies
  • ✓ All invariants depend only on other invariants
  • ✓ No documented conflicts between claims

Potential Semantic Variations

Areas requiring further review:

  1. E1 implementation details (field vs. network)
  2. Self definition prominence
  3. Phase compatibility mechanism details

Next Steps

  1. Update internal links in root documents to point to canonical locations
  2. Add claim typing headers to remaining architecture files
  3. Create redirect/superseded notes where appropriate
  4. Document any newly discovered conflicts in docs/conflicts/
  5. Update docs/glossary.md to reference canonical definitions

Open Questions
