The public website, repository introductions, organization profile and registry, seven-public-repository Wiki projection, and corrected private/revision status for Liberated Intelligence and Liberation Mass are now on their default branches. The released documentation preserves project-local authority, research/evidence limits, private-source boundaries, and the separation of work-sample review. It does not adopt research claims, governance proposals, licensing changes, or private-Wiki material. The next planned professional-refresh action is the evidence-based open-PR triage in ROADMAP P1-12. + +## Open-PR triage: 2026-10-23 + +Dates in this section use Pacific time. Root #52 is merged as `f42d934a05d1783ee003d3fd9b8f23545a39a30a`, completing the publication-status follow-up. The next work is the existing PR backlog, not another publication receipt. + +The inventory taken before opening this audit PR contains **32 open PRs across 15 repositories: 16 public and 16 private**. Every PR has an initial recommendation. This public record covers the public proposals; private titles, branch contents, and findings remain in a private local handoff. No PR was merged or closed during the audit. No open proposal was found to be wholly superseded and ready for closure on that basis alone. + +### Progress and review depth + +| Check | Status | Evidence / remaining work | +| --- | --- | --- | +| [x] | done | Read current PR metadata, bodies, and changed-file inventories for all 32; read the small documentation diffs and selected scope, method, and boundary sections of the larger drafts. | +| [x] | done | Compare all 16 public PRs with current main using local Git tree merges; repair the sole current-main conflict in existing root #43. | +| [x] | done | Check all 21 pairs of the seven root research/proposal PRs after projecting each onto current main. Two pairs conflict, recorded below. | +| [x] | done | Prepare three existing maintenance PRs for individual review, preserve current privacy labels, and verify their exact remote commit trees. | +| [ ] | to do | Complete deeper source/claim review of root #44/#45, publication-policy review of #50, and separate technical review of the larger private drafts. This triage is not those reviews. | +| [ ] | to do | Decide each merge or closure individually, then reconcile accepted source proposals and their companions. No bulk merge is proposed. | + +Full papers, generated PDFs, every external source, and private runtime behavior were not independently validated here. Checks reported in older PR descriptions remain their authors' records unless explicitly rerun below. A clean Git merge establishes textual compatibility, not evidence quality or approval. P1-12 therefore remains **in progress** in the canonical checklist. + +### First maintenance candidates + +1. **[Organization #13](https://github.com/Root-Sequence/.github/pull/13)** corrects the published profile/Wiki status in two context files and removes the stale pending-publication sentence from the infrastructure README. The branch now changes three documentation files. Profile copy, project registry, and policies are unchanged. +2. **[Organization #5](https://github.com/Root-Sequence/.github/pull/5)** adds the already-public Commons of Inquiry bootstrap under `external_or_nested_projects`. Its actual source is [`incubator/commons-of-inquiry/README.md`](incubator/commons-of-inquiry/README.md). The record retains `canonical_home: pending`, distinguishes the current nested seed from an intended standalone repository, and does not claim an operating institution. Current main is incorporated; all existing project records remain identical to main, including private/revision labels. +3. **[Wiki #12](https://github.com/Root-Sequence/wiki/pull/12)** adds one working Existential Euphoria identity and two index routes, grounded in its public repository and the organization registry. Original reflection and AI-assisted interpretation remain distinct; historical phrase provenance is unverified. The project creation timestamp is September 28 in Pacific time, not a first-use claim. Current Wiki main is incorporated and a generated-site project-index link is repaired. This supersedes the already closed Wiki #11, not another open PR. + +Validation: organization registry YAML parses and its only proposed addition is the public seed. Wiki #12 passes the public/private boundary checker and MkDocs 1.6.1 strict build after source generation, with **36 canonical entities and 15 project lenses**. Its seven-public-repository automatic registry and private-project context labels are unchanged from current main. GitHub reports each candidate mergeable; their new heads have no posted reviews or check runs in this snapshot. GitHub's empty commit-status collection is not evidence of a queued or passing review. The local checks above are the evidence available for these small changes. + +### Public PR recommendations + +These are recommendations for review, not publication authorizations.

Remains draft. | +| [Root #43](https://github.com/Root-Sequence/root-sequence/pull/43) | `facfd8da4b3914af1304ba933c7c34ca3bfab4a1` | Merged by Rae as `95f6b73af47a4eb3e75ba3f0829e692af526bb11`; exact published tree verified. Its labelled proposal and main anchor are available; local rule adoption remains separate. | +| [Organization #9](https://github.com/Root-Sequence/.github/pull/9) | `bd4ef2771eff20629f8b081d01b6ff7bdf00f6c3` | Scoped review complete; next public companion batch. Current published profile, registry, and context corrections retained. New contribution guidance explicitly remains proposed; local adoption is separate. | +| [UCF #9](https://github.com/Root-Sequence/universal-coherence-framework/pull/9) | `64c2ddaa5acea2eaa3a3f97256264e083c76a7bc` | Scoped review complete; next public companion batch. Local application remains proposed; models, evidence status, claims register, and runnable examples unchanged. | +| [Discussions #8](https://github.com/Root-Sequence/root-sequence-discussions/pull/8) | `a8dd3ca4ae41dfd14434ec4552a8457146501606` | Scoped review complete; next public companion batch. Moderation extension stays proposed, with honest limits on review routes; no new appeals body or roles. | +| [Being Human(e) #6](https://github.com/Root-Sequence/beinghumane-guide/pull/6) | `0dbb4620a9b8a4a19d0be1e60ae7297b0ccd6f2a` | Scoped review complete; next public companion batch. README proposal preserves editorial scope and unresolved personal-story permissions; site and guide entries unchanged. | +| [Wiki #13](https://github.com/Root-Sequence/wiki/pull/13) | `63b5348822f9abc4a4ca022b659a209afc7716ff` | Scoped review complete; next public companion batch. README route to published source; strict build and public/private boundary pass, preserving #12's identity and current registry. | +| [Root #50](https://github.com/Root-Sequence/root-sequence/pull/50) | `8590f16c6bf8ea2fd010f9fe27be9b53006823a9` | Keep draft for publication-policy, attribution, and licensing decisions. Guidance explicitly remains proposed. Preserve existing grants; the October 22 license audit is dated history, not a current public-access census. Review its complete decision checklist before adoption. | +| [Organization #12](https://github.com/Root-Sequence/.github/pull/12) | `20fe610c6bb7306c49fdef107443a800f3afd303` | Keep paired with #50. Links deliberately pin the proposal's exact revision and describe it as unadopted; review those targets again if #50 changes. | +| [Root #41](https://github.com/Root-Sequence/root-sequence/pull/41) | `8a6c7b0e9bcbcb24ba725500ffd6e132338dc530` | Merged by Rae as `7c7231b9edc9b1d922fbbfd4a050f924b3823a1c`; exact published source verified.

Anticipation remains proposed design guidance. Current main, source-route repair, and explicit inspection limits are included; shared metadata conflict with #42 is resolved. | +| [Root #42](https://github.com/Root-Sequence/root-sequence/pull/42) | `63d0d615000233dd1997869986195656ef1cc649` | Keep draft for source/domain and translation review of agency under stress. Current main and shared metadata are reconciled; original research/resilience wording unchanged. Source page is still absent from main. | +| [Root #44](https://github.com/Root-Sequence/root-sequence/pull/44) | `00f14ffd8fb8bffc0c551e1bab88b64c1f5c58b2` | Keep draft. Large research map and analytical probes require claim-level reading and source checks. Stipulated probabilities and mathematical toys are not human/organizational experiments or proof of an RS diagnostic advantage. Reconcile its index with #45. | +| [Root #45](https://github.com/Root-Sequence/root-sequence/pull/45) | `30748ee8db9bfde29fc0312a41b8f04edd98340d` | Keep draft. The Stoned Age has substantial reader editions and a source/claims ledger, but author, scholarly, cultural, and accessibility review remain incomplete. Existing validation records are not rerun scientific appraisal. Reconcile its research index with #44; website publication remains separate. | + +### Dependencies and overlap + +The five public companions to #43 are organization #9, UCF #9, Discussions #8, Being Human(e) #6, and Wiki #13. Their links to `commons/README.md#collaboration-as-a-living-experiment` will resolve on main only after a source decision. Accepting a shared proposal would still not approve every project's adaptation. Private companions retain their own review boundaries. + +All 16 public proposals now merge individually into the checked current main trees. The root #43 repair passes the reader-document checker for all **238 Markdown files**. Pairwise checks of the seven root proposals found two conflicts: + +- **#40 and #42:** `concepts/design-grammar.md`. Their prospective-guidance/agency wording needs a deliberate combined edit after deciding which content to accept. +- **#44 and #45:** `research/README.md`. Both insert research entries at the same place. Retain both only if each research proposal is accepted; no reason to copy one draft's substance into the other now. + +The other 19 root pairs merge textually without conflict. This is not a test of every multi-PR order or semantic consistency. In particular, #50's proposed stewardship guidance and #43's collaboration practices need substantive review even though their repaired trees combine cleanly. + +Checked public main revisions: root `f42d934a05d1783ee003d3fd9b8f23545a39a30a`; organization `7ea6c4b7cd191775a17d951935c7f9927f691f70`; Wiki `7b7d15120e289ab2798476afaf928f6a567c6172`; UCF `e1c7b28803f58bea4a5b3a200063d5f579260b50`; Discussions `e93ec409bf3f490dbce47ae242921a5ccb276b1e`; Being Human(e) `e7e8b35a7f13e15c041b53475a80aefbdb499437`; Existential Euphoria public source `eb306d4e83d06790c53b3b6f0a90db227b193fcd`. Refresh affected heads and main before an actual merge decision if they change. + +Recommended order: review the three maintenance candidates first, then the small #41 conceptual addition. Review #43 as a shared proposal before its companions. Keep the larger research and stewardship families separate so a documentation cleanup cannot silently adopt research conclusions, licensing choices, or new governance. + +## Maintenance merges and legibility review: 2026-10-23 + +This checkpoint supersedes the pending status of the three maintenance candidates above. Dates use Pacific time. Rae merged organization #13 and #5, followed by Wiki #12. All seven affected published files match the reviewed candidate blobs exactly. + +| Completed PR | Merge commit | Verified result | +| --- | --- | --- | +| [Organization #13](https://github.com/Root-Sequence/.github/pull/13) | `9880ad1186fa436f70cc152ece60ee064bc37442` | Infrastructure README and both context files describe the completed profile/Wiki publication consistently. | +| [Organization #5](https://github.com/Root-Sequence/.github/pull/5) | `2ac252195775efcef42506027e033c5e84e99fab` | Registry routes to the actual public commons bootstrap, with canonical home pending and no operating institution claimed. | +| [Wiki #12](https://github.com/Root-Sequence/wiki/pull/12) | `446a1294a309051b9bb1590ea459e8d8a343cd0c` | Existential Euphoria identity and index routes are published; provenance and AI-interpretation limits remain. | + +Wiki [deployment run 40069319901](https://github.com/Root-Sequence/wiki/actions/runs/40069319901) succeeded for the exact merge commit. The live [entity](https://wiki.rootsequence.systems/entities/existential-euphoria/), [project index](https://wiki.rootsequence.systems/projects/), [lexicon](https://wiki.rootsequence.systems/lexicon/), and [automatic registry](https://wiki.rootsequence.systems/auto-projects/) all return HTTP 200. The new identity and both index routes render; the entity keeps historical provenance unresolved and distinguishes AI interpretation from the original reflection. The automatic registry still contains no reading links to Liberated Intelligence or Liberation Mass. No private source was imported. + +### Next content decision: root #41 + +The complete two-file context and proposed additions in [#41](https://github.com/Root-Sequence/root-sequence/pull/41) were read. The proposal distinguishes whether a structure holds together from whether another person can reconstruct it, then asks what a shorter representation preserves or loses. It explicitly avoids treating internal coherence as correctness or legitimacy. The distinctions remain working design guidance, not measured constructs. The AI-assisted-expression application retains its existing authorship, review, and privacy limits. + +The existing branch now incorporates current main `f42d934a05d1783ee003d3fd9b8f23545a39a30a`, at head `8a6c7b0e9bcbcb24ba725500ffd6e132338dc530`. Both proposed source files remain byte-for-byte identical to the original #41 head: exactly **36 added lines in two existing concept pages** relative to current main. No site copy, source claims, external citations, project adaptations, or other draft research is added. + +Validation: all 238 reader-document files pass; the whitespace check against current main passes; the new relative link and `representational-legibility` fragment resolve; both current evidence/status introductions are retained. No blocking issue was identified within this scope. This is not scientific or usability validation, an independent review, or the author's approval. #41 remains draft for a content decision. The agent did not merge or close any PR. + +The canonical P1-12 remains in progress. This completed maintenance batch and small content review do not finish deeper research, stewardship, private implementation, or Wiki-freshness review. Existing audit draft #53 is reused for this record; no additional tracking PR is created. + +## Legibility merged and collaboration proposal reviewed: 2026-10-23 + +Dates use Pacific time. Rae merged [root #41](https://github.com/Root-Sequence/root-sequence/pull/41) as `7c7231b9edc9b1d922fbbfd4a050f924b3823a1c`. The merged tree matches the checked candidate exactly, including both concept pages. Its representational-legibility distinctions are now public main content; publication does not turn working design guidance into empirical findings. + +### Root #43: proposed collaboration practices + +The complete four-file change and surrounding source were reviewed against the existing root contribution guide, organization contribution/stewardship documents, and the shared methods it references. The proposal gives one shared home to questions about participation and responsibility while leaving substantive project designs local. It protects criticism and voluntary departure, distinguishes contribution from access or decision authority, and keeps repair voluntary. Its feedback loop is explicitly an analogy, with no claim to have evaluated an operating community or discovered a shared causal law. + +The existing draft now incorporates #41's merged main and has head `facfd8da4b3914af1304ba933c7c34ca3bfab4a1`. Three small clarifications were made during review: + +- The new section identifies itself as AI-assisted and awaiting author review, and explicitly separates publication of the proposal from adopting project rules. +- Its pointer to organization guidance no longer implies that the unmerged companion update is already established. +- The root README pointer uses two short sentences instead of a dense list of proposed practices. + +The proposed principles otherwise remain unchanged. The reviewed root introduction/reuse wording, #41 additions, and current private/revision labels are retained. The delta remains four files: `commons/README.md`, its root README route, and the existing role-power wording in `ECOSYSTEM.md` / `IDEA_TRAILS.md`. + +Validation: all 238 reader-document files pass; scoped whitespace passes; the Idea Trail graph/index check and all 11 site checks pass on the exact #43 commit. The README fragment and four canonical local method/seed destinations exist. The existing public organization targets resolve in the inspected main source. No blocking issue was found within this scope. This does not complete the author's review, validate governance outcomes, appoint stewards, create an institution, or adopt rules. Publishing the text would publish a labelled proposal for discussion. Any project-local adoption remains a separate decision. + +The five public companions remain open drafts: organization #9, Being Human(e) #6, UCF #9, Discussions #8, and Wiki #13. Their new source anchor is absent from main until #43 is published; local review is still required afterward. Private companions retain their own access and review boundaries. No companion is merged or automatically approved by this source review. + +Existing audit draft #53 is reused and incorporates the #41 main merge. P1-12 remains in progress; no new PR, agent-performed merge or closure, deployment, license change, role assignment, or private-source export is included. + +## Commons source published and public companions prepared: 2026-10-23 + +Dates use Pacific time. Rae merged [root #43](https://github.com/Root-Sequence/root-sequence/pull/43) as `95f6b73af47a4eb3e75ba3f0829e692af526bb11`. Its complete published tree matches the checked candidate. The shared source anchor now exists on main, with AI-assisted/pending-author-review status and the distinction between publishing a proposal and adopting local rules intact. + +The five public companion PRs listed above were refreshed in their existing branches and reviewed against their current project guidance. Their main revisions were organization `2ac252195775efcef42506027e033c5e84e99fab`, UCF `e1c7b28803f58bea4a5b3a200063d5f579260b50`, Discussions `e93ec409bf3f490dbce47ae242921a5ccb276b1e`, Being Human(e) `e7e8b35a7f13e15c041b53475a80aefbdb499437`, and Wiki `446a1294a309051b9bb1590ea459e8d8a343cd0c`. + +Organization #9 adds proposed contribution/stewardship guidance and an optional PR-template prompt. It retains the published profile, seed registry, and corrected publication context. UCF #9 makes the local application explicitly proposed while leaving models and evidence unchanged. Discussions #8 retains its proposed moderation extension and avoids promising unavailable independent review. Being Human(e) #6 states that contribution practices are proposed and personal-story permissions still need separate agreement. Wiki #13 supplies a short source route and preserves the distinction between navigation and project decisions. Crowded README summaries were shortened without copying the substantive commons text. + +Together, these are **11 documentation files across five existing PRs**. Scoped whitespace and added local links/fragments pass; the published source anchor is verified. Exact file-scope comparisons preserve unrelated content, including the organization's merged profile/registry/context corrections and the Wiki's merged identity and privacy fixes. Wiki #13 passes its public/private boundary check and MkDocs 1.6.1 strict build with 36 canonical entities and 15 project lenses. No blocking issue was found in this scoped review. Runnable examples and the Being Human(e) site were not rebuilt because their source is unchanged. + +The next decision is publication of these proposed local applications and the Wiki pointer. Their draft status and project-local adoption boundaries remain. Publishing #43 does not approve the companions automatically. Private companions have not been refreshed or approved by this public pass, and existing revision holds remain. + +### Queued personal-page follow-up + +Rae requested adding a small [whoami](https://raearea.net/whoami/) project-ecology/link update to the work list. The canonical checklist records this as P4-01, to do, after the current public PR batch. A preliminary live read returned HTTP 200 and found a direct Liberation Mass repository link that now leads to a private project. Other destinations and the site's actual source/open drafts still need inspection before preparing an edit. No personal-site source, copy, deployment, or settings changed here. + +Existing audit #53 incorporates the #43 main merge and records this checkpoint. P1-12 remains in progress; P4-01 adds one queued task. No new PR, agent-performed merge or closure, role assignment, policy adoption, license change, or private-source export is included. + +Rae subsequently expanded P4-01 to include homepage links and explicitly requested the proposed changes before either personal page is edited. A read-only inventory of both pages, destination checks, and inspection of the actual public `raelovejoy/raearea` source produced a local keep/change/add/pending proposal. P4-01 remains to do pending that review; neither personal page nor its source has been edited. The detailed link decisions remain in the local proposal rather than becoming unapproved website changes. + +## Anticipation review and draft overlap resolved: 2026-10-23 + +This checkpoint supersedes the unresolved #40/#42 conflict recorded in the initial pairwise audit. The five public commons companions and audit #53 remain open at the checked snapshot; no further merge is inferred from a request to continue. + +### Root #40: anticipation and surprise + +The full proposed diff and relevant design-grammar, dynamic-coherence, adaptation, resilience, and source-lineage context were reviewed. Its prompt, “Anticipate what you can. Design for what you can't,” asks designers to consider foreseeable effects while retaining ways to notice a mistaken model and recover. It preserves the distinction between preparation and authority, names brittle over-anticipation as a failure mode, and leaves project-specific implementation/canon decisions local. It remains an AI-assisted proposal awaiting author review, with no new empirical result or universal mechanism established. + +The existing branch now incorporates current main `95f6b73af47a4eb3e75ba3f0829e692af526bb11`, at head `b14ee22016bf9890715ba78e48b819759830f054`. Four original proposal files remain, plus a focused source repair in the existing `research/dynamic-coherence-lineage.md`. Reviewed main introduction, reuse, #41, #43, and private-project status are retained. + +The old Hollnagel author-site route no longer supplied the cited material. The [Resilience Engineering Institute overview](https://resilienceengineeringinstitute.org/resilience-analysis-grid/) was inspected for its account of the four potentials and method orientation. The [Woods publisher abstract and bibliographic record](https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10669-018-9708-3) were inspected for graceful extensibility and sustained adaptability. Neither the full technical note nor the full article was read in this pass. The lineage note now states that scope and labels the stronger claim about an intervention changing later conditions as a Root Sequence interpretation. The two anticipation sections link to that existing lineage treatment instead of leaving the comparison untraceable. No claim of full literature appraisal is added. + +Validation on #40: all 238 reader-document files pass; Idea Trail graph/index is valid and current; scoped whitespace and all 11 site checks pass. No blocking issue was identified within this scope. These checks do not complete author review, validate the design prompt, or approve its project-local applications. + +### Reconciliation with #42 + +The conflicting portions were the shared revision-date header and one long source-note paragraph. Both branches now separate pending-review status from dated source additions. #40's existing October 1 addition is recorded under change history; #42 retains its October 5 source addition. The refreshed #42 head is `63d0d615000233dd1997869986195656ef1cc649`, incorporating the same current main. Its agency-under-stress research and resilience source are byte-for-byte unchanged from the original proposal. No anticipation content is imported into #42, and no agency-under-stress content is imported into #40. + +A targeted tree check now combines #40/#42 cleanly and retains both separate table additions in the combined fixture. #40/#44 also combines cleanly despite the scoped lineage-reference repair. These are local compatibility checks, not merges or acceptance. #42 passes all 239 reader-document files, the graph/index check, and all 11 site checks; it remains draft pending deeper source/domain review and the author's decision. #44/#45's separate research-index conflict remains unresolved. + +Existing audit #53 records this work; P1-12 stays in progress. The personal-site link proposal remains pending review, including the supplied corrected Mastodon URL. Neither personal page was edited. No new PR, agent-performed merge/closure, deployment, clinical guidance approval, policy adoption, or private-source export is included. + +## Agency under stress source review: 2026-10-24 + +This checkpoint uses UTC dates. Rae merged [root #40](https://github.com/Root-Sequence/root-sequence/pull/40) as `4fa71e26bcebd74fd6e1bf3d57c3475a8235d50c`. The published tree is `c1091a8ca9f32820f44c4b04bdd32f2b27d3a18b`, exactly matching the reviewed candidate. The anticipation prompt and its source limits are retained. Existing audit #53 incorporates this main revision without importing #42's unmerged research. + +### Root #42: agency under stress + +The complete four-file proposal and relevant surrounding source were reviewed. Its design question is how a system can reduce demands while preserving someone's usable agency when capacity is reduced. The current draft is `05abe41053ceb2c0b030aa6703c0d8afb7f407a8`, incorporating #40's published main and preserving both Design Grammar additions. + +The source pass inspected selected passages for nine references, with the scope recorded in the [research note's source-check checkpoint](https://github.com/Root-Sequence/root-sequence/blob/05abe41053ceb2c0b030aa6703c0d8afb7f407a8/research/agency-under-stress.md#source-check-checkpoint-2026-10-24). The official GPO Senate PDF was checked at Finding 1. The UNHCR-hosted Istanbul Protocol supplied the relevant chapter passages after the OHCHR route returned an access error. Publisher/author texts supplied the other selected passages, except the 2019 decentering follow-up, checked only through its PubMed abstract and bibliographic record. Access to a document is not recorded as full-document reading. This is an AI-assisted claim/source check, not a systematic search, reanalysis, or independent clinical appraisal. + +The revised note replaces the broad negative claim about a universal breaking point with a narrower account of varying stress responses. It supplies a direct acute-stress/executive-function source instead of an unsupported list of cognitive effects. Interrogation findings retain their experimental setting and differences between outcomes. Decentering is described as a proposed model with measurement limits, and its example illustrates perspective rather than giving instructions about danger. The WHO-inspired diagram, recovery framing, and system-design prompts are explicitly Root Sequence interpretations or proposals. None is presented as a clinically evaluated framework. + +The research index now offers one route to the canonical note with AI-assisted/author-review-pending status, removing its duplicate unmerged-queue entry from this candidate.

Author review remains pending; independent domain appraisal and project-local implementation decisions are not completed by this pass. The next decision is whether to publish this labelled working synthesis for discussion. + +P1-12 remains in progress, with 31 canonical tasks: 24 done, six to do, one in progress, none blocked. The five public commons companions remain the previously checked review candidates; their status was not re-audited at this checkpoint. #44/#45's research-index conflict and the larger research/stewardship reviews remain. Personal-page edits still await review of the existing link proposal.

Rae merged [root #42](https://github.com/Root-Sequence/root-sequence/pull/42) as `bef05bc92b5cc3b7fc90e84aa94dcc9f414965e4`. Its complete published tree `9c0e0b3cbd25bfb19fff35093285b39afc67b85c` matches the reviewed candidate. The bounded source-check record, author-review-pending status, and untested design-translation wording are retained. Publishing the note does not establish clinical validity or adopt project-local applications. + +### Root #44: Intelligence Without Omniscience + +The seven research pages, changed concept/source pointers, graph/index updates, and relevant main-branch context were reviewed. The existing draft now incorporates #42's published main at head `59923f94ec5ed93576e86259e9cd2a3128b59395`, tree `6673fc42e15bcfbd46793941e8e47b9ce0da8972`. The proposal remains 15 files. It retains the independent-research introduction, approved AI/accessibility wording, private-project notices, the recent anticipation lineage repair, and #42's source. It changes no website source or publication approval. + +The inquiry separates generality from knowing everything and distinguishes information discovery, evidence recognition, uptake, material capability, and authority. Its companion pages retain competing explanations and the possibility that established methods already do the useful work. The normative commons proposals do not establish an institution, licensing regime, governance authority, or requirement for disclosure. Fictional probes do not become human/AI-agent experiments or world canon. + +A [source-check checkpoint](https://github.com/Root-Sequence/root-sequence/blob/59923f94ec5ed93576e86259e9cd2a3128b59395/research/intelligence-without-omniscience/README.md#source-check-checkpoint-2026-10-24) records the selected abstracts and passages actually inspected. It distinguishes author abstracts and institutional records from selected full-text passages. The remaining bibliography still needs deeper appraisal, especially the broader philosophy, capability, information-science, and governance interpretations. This is an AI-assisted bounded source check, not an independent domain review or systematic literature search. + +The review makes four concrete corrections to how the work is presented: + +- Fifteen links to private Coherent World supporting drafts became explicit access notes, preserving their names and the public conceptual summaries. The broader simulation route now points to the existing public ecosystem-map entry. Private content was not imported or released. +- The human–AI meta-analysis description now distinguishes 106 experiments from the 74 papers reporting them. The dated METR example retains its uncertainty intervals and explains what the time unit measures. +- The two-fact toy's targeted-request label no longer incorrectly conditions on successful routing while including routing uncertainty. Independent fraction arithmetic and exact enumeration of all 81 four-turn sequences per row reproduce the four rounded table rows. Parameters remain invented and the missing-fact-map confound remains explicit. +- Private follow-up execution counts are identified as reports from the original draft, not independently rerun suites. The research index uses one route to this source rather than retaining a duplicate draft-queue entry. + +The #44 research-index addition now sits apart from #45's insertion. A targeted combined-tree calculation with #45 at `30748ee8db9bfde29fc0312a41b8f04edd98340d` is clean, resolving the earlier textual conflict. No #45 paper content is imported into #44, and #45 is not approved by this calculation. + +Validation on #44: all 246 reader-document files pass, the Idea Trail graph/index is valid and current, and all 11 site checks pass. Whitespace checks allow the 52 intentional Markdown hard breaks in the added material. All 15 exact remote files match the staged source. No blocking issue was found within this scoped reading, source, arithmetic, and navigation check. Author review and a publication decision remain; deeper bibliography/domain appraisal is incomplete. Publishing would publish a labelled working research map, not validate its combined framework. + +Existing audit #53 incorporates #42 main and records this checkpoint without importing #44 research. P1-12 remains in progress: 31 tasks, 24 done, six to do, one in progress, none blocked. The next large public research review is #45; stewardship/licensing and private implementation work remain separate. Personal-site source changes still await Rae's review of the link proposal. No new PR, agent-performed merge/closure, deployment, policy adoption, credential access, or private-source export is included. + + +## Intelligence research published and Stoned Age reviewed: 2026-10-24 + +Dates in this checkpoint use Pacific time. Rae merged [root #44](https://github.com/Root-Sequence/root-sequence/pull/44) as `9321c0f020c49068959f493c1ac854ad1bcbf7eb`. Its complete tree `6673fc42e15bcfbd46793941e8e47b9ce0da8972` matches the reviewed candidate. The public introduction, private-source access notes, bounded source-check record and invented-parameter qualifications remain. Publication does not establish the combined framework's validity or complete broader bibliography/domain appraisal. + +### Root #45: The Stoned Age + +The paper, essay, booklet source and talk source were read alongside the shared 16-source register, 19-claim ledger, existing appraisal/method records and edition builder. The existing draft now incorporates #44 main at head `12efef65ede19744ed1f43df01cb5ebbc1165e22`, tree `cddeab2de6108393af274205362195d946c69df5`. The 40-file delta remains confined to `research/the-stoned-age/` and its nearest research-index entry. It retains playful framing while distinguishing findings, models, hypotheses and editorial proposals. The completed research-index reconciliation preserves the published #44 route and removes the duplicate #45 draft-queue pointer. + +This maintenance pass rechecked selected primary-source passages for S01, S03, S04, S06, S07, S14 and S15. The [dated appraisal follow-up](https://github.com/Root-Sequence/root-sequence/blob/12efef65ede19744ed1f43df01cb5ebbc1165e22/research/the-stoned-age/research/appraisal.md#review-follow-up-24-october-2026) distinguishes institutional abstracts, indexed primary text and selected main-text passages. Direct S03 PMC/XML retrieval failed; its indexed Results/Fig. 3 text was inspected without claiming a full analytical reappraisal. This is an AI-assisted targeted maintenance pass, not a new systematic search or independent scientific review. The other source appraisals remain the earlier record. + +The creativity account now specifies that follow-up convergent-thinking scores were lower **than placebo**; the paper and appraisal distinguish this from both groups improving relative to their own baselines. Self-rated novelty remains separate from independently verified originality. The comparison is explicit in all four maintained editions and the claims ledger. S15 now pins the reviewed 2023 preprint version, with no inference to every current model or clinical outcome. Archaeological uncertainty, selected-sample/adverse-experience context, cultural authority and the difference between association and causation are retained. + +Every HTML edition now links to Evidence notes. PDF generation uses stable metadata, and the editions and cover preview were rebuilt from the existing sources. The shared research index labels the suite as a review draft. No homepage, hosting configuration, private project, fictional canon or source license changes are included. + +Validation on #45: all 256 reader-document files pass, the Idea Trail graph/index is valid and current, scoped whitespace passes, and all 11 website tests pass. All 165 local HTML links/assets/fragments resolve across seven pages. Source and claim IDs are unique and resolve. Two consecutive builds produce identical bytes for 20 generated files. All 16 booklet and 12 talk pages have extractable text and were rendered and visually inspected without visible clipping or overlap. Local browser checks cover the skip fragment, evidence navigation, a keyboard-operated speaker-note disclosure and appraisal/talk layout at 390 pixels without horizontal scrolling. Full keyboard, screen-reader and physical-device accessibility checks remain open. The exact remote tree, binary blobs and local staged tree agree. + +No blocking issue was found within this bounded source/edition/navigation check. Author review remains pending. Arad full text, relevant supplements and registration comparisons, deeper source appraisal, situated cultural scholarship and independent disciplinary review remain open. Publishing the repository draft would not make it a reviewed scholarly release. Website publication requires a separate destination and deployment decision. No dosing guidance, clinical intervention or human-participant work is authorized. + +Existing audit #53 incorporates #44 main and changes only this audit and the canonical checklist relative to main; it imports no unmerged #45 suite. Its reader check passes 246 Markdown files, with graph/index and all 11 site checks passing. The checklist now has one consistent current summary: 31 tasks, 24 done, six to do, one in progress, none blocked. P1-12 remains in progress. Five public commons companions retain their previously checked candidate status, not a fresh audit. Stewardship/licensing and private implementation work remain separate; personal-site changes still await Rae's review of the link proposal. No new PR, agent-performed merge or closure, deployment, policy adoption, credential access or private-source export is included. + + +## Proposed Stoned Age website route: 2026-10-24 + +Rae suggested adding the existing suite at `rootsequence.systems/stonedage/`. The actual Pages workflow and publisher were inspected first. They currently export only the homepage, so merging the earlier research suite alone would not create that route. A live check found the proposed route returns HTTP 404; the public build manifest still describes the approved single-page edition. + +Existing draft #45 now prepares the route at `08286d1eff9592ed7e5eb01e05d1510972effe86`, tree `30c26ad548640f6ede05b9b2ffb7db640f659ef4`. Its full delta from main is 47 files: the existing 40-file research package/index plus seven site/workflow files. The route is prepared for review, not published. The research source, AI provenance, evidence limits and unfinished author/scholarly/cultural review remain as described in the earlier checkpoint. + +The new combined publisher reads `research/the-stoned-age/` and exports 24 explicitly named reading files alongside the existing homepage. It adds the `/stonedage/` path, a return link, canonical addresses and robots metadata to generated research pages. PDFs and data downloads retain their source bytes. Other source links point to the existing GitHub branch in preview and main in release. No second maintained research copy, editable JSON source, build tools, unrelated research, private material or historical site is included in the hosting artifact. The original homepage source, original publisher and original approval are unchanged. + +The proposed Pages workflow runs both publisher test suites, builds the combined artifact and watches the inquiry for updates. A separate pending `site/stonedage-approval.json` binds the exact route publisher, workflow, reading files and named source records. Its reviewer and approval date remain unset. The release command rejects that record before producing output. Merging the proposed workflow without the matching hosting approval would leave deployment blocked. No publication approval is inferred from the suggestion to prepare this route. + +All 11 homepage tests and six added research-publication tests pass. The combined preview has eight HTML pages; all 192 local links/assets/fragments resolve. It preserves homepage bytes and both PDF files. The new return link reaches the unchanged homepage. The research landing page was inspected at desktop and 390 pixels without horizontal overflow or missing images; screenshots are in the local handoff and the viewport was restored. Reader documentation passes 256 Markdown files on #45, and the graph/index remains current. Scoped whitespace passes. The remote tree and exact publisher/workflow/approval readbacks match the staged candidate. No new scientific appraisal or full accessibility review is claimed by this hosting pass. + +P1-13 records this bounded follow-up as in progress until review and publication are resolved. The canonical checklist now has 32 tasks: 24 done, six to do, two in progress, none blocked. Existing audit #53 is reused and changes only AUDIT.md/ROADMAP.md against current main; it imports no unmerged research or publisher code. P1-12, the remaining stewardship/licensing reviews and the personal-page pre-edit approval boundary remain. No new PR, agent-performed merge or public deployment occurred. + + +## Stoned Age repository references and companion clarification: 2026-10-24 + +Rae clarified that the Root Sequence homepage does not need a Stoned Age link; the proposed website should be referenced where the research lives. Existing draft #45 now records the planned, unpublished `/stonedage/` address in its research README and parent research index. The homepage is byte-for-byte identical to current main and contains no Stoned Age link. + +The current suite contains no separate “How Drugs Explain the Universe” companion text. Its prior “companion provocation” label implied an artifact that was not supplied. The maintained README, paper, booklet JSON and landing-page generator now use “working provocation,” preserving the phrase as framing for the inquiry. The generated editions and booklet cover preview were rebuilt. No separate companion was invented or added, and the evidence and review status remain. + +The existing #45 head is `2f382c71c1434f1c2ee447656aa5a1dffe2c57ef`, tree `e58ad9f63cc7c4c59552b0f2b68b036c316d1892`. The full delta remains 47 files against main. All 17 site/publisher tests, the 256-file reader check, graph/index and scoped whitespace pass. The changed cover was rendered and visually checked; text on the other 15 booklet pages is unchanged, and the talk PDF is byte-identical. The pending hosting fingerprint was refreshed without adding a reviewer or approval date. Exact remote research references and the pending record match the staged candidate. No publication is claimed. + +Existing audit #53 records the clarification and current P1-13 head without importing the suite. Its reader check passes 246 Markdown files. The checklist retains 32 tasks: 24 done, six to do, two in progress, none blocked.
