== Vision and Phased Roadmap ==
'''Canonical Question:''' What is the practical, phased path for turning the Term Decomposition Protocol and Calibration Records into a living, usable catalog and, eventually, executable abstract operating infrastructure — while keeping calibration discipline primary and refusing standing inflation?

This page records a practical application vision. It is not a claim that the later phases already exist or are ready. Phase 0 is the only work currently authorized by evidence. All later phases remain Development Breadcrumbs until Phase 0 produces independent re-runs, a critical mass of records, and real external use.

'''Core orientation:''' Produce actual, inspectable results. Calibration is the continuous immune system. The infrastructure is meant to become loadable, versioned, and useful inside real reasoning and decision systems.

== Phase 0 — Lock the Foundation (Active Now) ==
This is the only active phase.

* Keep TDP-001 under continuous adversarial pressure and publish the current Working Standard.
* Publish Calibration Records under honest Self-Assessed standing only.
* Maintain a simple public repository (protocol + records + standing policy).
* Run multi-instrument adversarial decompositions only. Never single-instrument.
* Build the site pages for the Working Standard and the Calibration Library.
* Force independent re-runs before any standing promotion.

Success criterion for leaving Phase 0: a small but real library of Calibration Records that have survived at least one independent re-run, plus external parties actually using or attacking the records.

== Phase 1 — Catalog of Procedural Breakdowns (Downstream) ==
Contingent on Phase 0 producing a critical mass of stable records.

* Define a minimal machine-readable schema for Calibration Records.
* Systematically decompose a prioritized list of high-value terms.
* Store every record with full version history in the public repository.
* Provide simple retrieval so a human or AI can load “the current best mechanism for X.”
* Promote standing only on documented independent re-runs.

This phase turns manual discipline into a reusable, versioned catalog. No automation or code language is required to begin it.

== Phase 2+ — Salience, Focus, and Semi-Automated Use (Further Downstream) ==
Only after the catalog exists and has been attacked in real use.

* Lightweight salience / relevance recognizers (each treated as its own instrument with a Calibration Record).
* Explicit, inspectable drive-like focus operators.
* Semi-automated engine that can ingest claims, match mechanisms, surface floors and residual uncertainty, and log multi-instrument friction.
* Open competition layer for new records, better counterexamples, and improved recognizers.

These layers are not commitments. They become legitimate only when Phase 0 and Phase 1 have produced evidence that the underlying catalog is stable enough to support them.

== Non-Negotiable Operating Rules ==
* Multi-instrument by default.
* Standing inflation is a logged nonconformance.
* Floors and residual uncertainty are first-class outputs.
* Everything public and diffable.
* Permanent Beta on the whole stack.
* Thin vertical slices only — one working term + real external friction before expansion.

== Typical Failure Modes ==
* '''Often confused with:''' A product roadmap, a promise of near-term automation, or a claim that later phases are already in progress.
* '''Should NOT be used for:''' Justifying diversion of effort from Phase 0; raising the standing of TDP-001 or any Calibration Record; treating vision as evidence.
* '''Common misuse:''' Expanding into Phase 1 or 2 before independent re-runs and external use exist; treating the vision page itself as a mature instrument.

== Revision Trigger ==
This page should be reconsidered when:
* Phase 0 meets its success criterion (independent re-runs + external use).
* A material gap appears between the vision and actual results from the Working Standard or Calibration Records.
* External parties begin forking or attacking the public records at scale.
* A decision is made to freeze or split any phase.

'''See the Game. Refuse the Game. Build Better.'''

'''This page is under continuous calibration in line with the [[Permanent Beta]] principle.'''
