Research

Purpose

Cross-project research notes, investigations, and theoretical work that spans multiple apps or the ecosystem as a whole.

What Belongs Here

• Continuity research that applies across projects
• Cross-model simulation findings
• Prompt engineering research (when optimization precision is the objective)
• Emotional architecture theory
• Symbolic engine research
• Provider-agnostic interpretation studies
• Any research that is not specific to a single project

What Does NOT Belong Here

• Project-specific implementation docs (go in Bibliotheca/projects/{project-name}/)
• Session observations (go in Bibliotheca/field-notes/)
• Experiment reports (go in Bibliotheca/experiments/)
• Distilled conclusions (go in Bibliotheca/findings/)

Current Status

This directory now serves as the canonical root research shelf for numbered cross-project manuscripts (NN-*.md). Some legacy research still remains in origin locations, but promoted convergence papers belong here.

Numbered Shelf Seal

The original numbered research arc is sealed at 01-10. Later numbered entries continue as doctrine and architecture addenda.

• Final sealed manuscript: 10-the-sacred-fire.md
• This seal applies only to the original arc.
• Future Bibliotheca writing can continue in other sections (findings, projects, field-notes, etc.).

Front Desk Discoveries

• 01-intro.md - Recommended first reading. Front-door introduction to the continuity-forge research ecosystem: origin story, worldview, and entry context for the archive.
• 10-the-sacred-fire.md - Sealed closing manuscript for the current research arc. Establishes sacred fire posture and lawful pre-combustion invocation.
• 16-continuity-without-surveillance.md - Anti-surveillance continuity doctrine: continuity through co-construction, local-first residue, nickname anchors, and interpretive humility.
• 17-micro-symbolic-continuity.md - Symbolic residue theory: emoji, ASCII emoticons, typing pressure, contradiction, and micro-symbolic continuity without surveillance.
• triforce-prompting/triforce-prompting-v0.1.md - Foundational continuity-forge proposal for symbolic semantic control architecture (VERUM, PERSONA, OPERATOR) as a long-context stability direction.

Migration

Compare/merge/promote passes should relocate mature cross-project research into this shelf and keep app-local copies as temporary working drafts only.
