Welcome to the MoA–TSG Lab. The wiki is the bench. The work is Metrology of the Abstract. Adopt the tools or leave them on the rack — either way, the need doesn't wait.

  • Lab Note: A redlink is not a failure. It identifies Calibration Debt—work waiting to be measured, mapped, and calibrated.

Description Replaces initiative language with domain duty: MoA writes calibration procedures for domains, instruments domain surfaces, provides standards and supporting calibrations without seizing Domain SI. Active domains, future candidates, entry flow, language rules, and non-claims.

Developer Note: Domains, Not Initiatives

Status: Seed · Self-Assessed · Permanent Beta

One line: MoA does not collect initiatives. It writes calibration procedures for domains, builds a metrology system inside those domains using their own surfaces, and supports re-runnable certificates — Domain SI stays with the domain.


1. Focus shift

Drop Prefer
“Our initiatives” Domains we instrument
Campaign / movement branding Procedures + certificate objects
Portfolio of launches Need-based depth where measurement gaps cost
MoA as owner of meaning Dual non-ownership (Domain SI theirs; certs with whoever ran the method)

Duty statement: As Metrology of the Abstract, the job is to:

  • identify abstract instruments that need operable calibration
  • write procedures (Stage 0 / ADM / Deep Dive / claim hygiene / map publish rules)
  • use the domain’s own tools where useful (wikis, SEO, repos, catalogs, AI packs)
  • provide standards and supporting calibrations others can re-run
  • refuse Domain SI seizure and false endorsement

This is ordinary metrology discipline applied to abstract claims — not a set of branded crusades.


2. What a “domain” means here

A domain is a field of practice or discourse that already has:

  • sources (texts, definitions, policies, code, doctrines)
  • users and failure modes
  • surfaces (sites, search, repositories, institutions, models)

MoA work in a domain = metrology system within it:

  • lock rules
  • map / RAM objects
  • claim types and standing honesty
  • optional Deep Dive packets
  • retrieve hygiene (map-SEO) where discovery matters

The domain does not become “an MoA initiative.” MoA becomes usable inside the domain.


3. What MoA provides (same in every domain)

Deliverable Role
Procedures & standards How to lock, map, grade depth, claim type, publish
Supporting calibrations Example runs, CR pattern, lab certs when type A applies
Certificate object shapes RAM, cert card, Deep Dive report, hubs (`Maps`)
Hygiene rules Endorsement wall, self-cal disclaimer, map-SEO triage wall
On-ramp Independent labs and operators can re-run without permission theater

MoA does not have to operate every surface. It must leave re-runnable method + honest standing language wherever it works.


4. Active domains (procedure work already in motion)

Domain What MoA is writing / supporting
Public abstracts / wiki & web pages RAM product shape; Deep Dive process; `Map:` / `DeepDive:` IA; cert cards; dual non-ownership; abstract page stays light
Discovery & retrieve (map-SEO) Transparency rank signals; pre-filter before full-page read; packs prefer inspectable objects; triage ≠ speech control
Self-cal & federation Claim types A–F; independent self-cert rules; endorsement wall; operator checklists
Definition / dictionary stack Stage 0 lock; ADM; term decomposition (TDP); CR pattern (e.g. Fairness floor); dictionary as cal surface under the lab roof
Sovereign Games / diagnostic games Independent lab / human-systems sandbox — not an MoA product line; shares method spine; own runs and certificates when issued; game modules as conceptual instruments; Permanent Beta discipline
AI as instrument (not Domain SI) Retrieve cards; store–map–retrieve; defer-out-of-range; correlated-model honesty; no Confirmed-from-AI-alone

These are application domains of the same duty, not separate movements.


5. Future domains (procedure candidates)

Priority is need-based — open or deepen a domain when lack of calibration repeatedly costs clarity, standing honesty, or retrieve quality. Seed list only; order changes under friction — not roadmap theater.

5.1 Near-fit extensions

Domain Likely procedure targets
Policy & doctrine texts Lock + RAM for operative terms; competing maps; no seizure of legislative Domain SI
License & “open” vocabulary OSD-class instruments; source-available neighbors; marketing distortion catalog
Standards & specifications clauses Third-party maps of definition clauses; scope / field-of-use floors
Corporate / product ethics pages Self-cal rules; COI mandatory; L-level inflation fails rank

5.2 Heavier or later

Domain Likely procedure targets
Academic / theory terms CR floors; ADM for paper-local use
Institutional mission language Mission-alignment maps; drift bounds
Education & curriculum claims Outcome vs intention maps; long-horizon feedback floors
Media / narrative frames Frame instruments; declare lean on author-maps
Argument modules (long prose) Optional M3–M5: sectional claims, coherence, support type — fit/distortion language
Auto-draft pipelines Machine L0–L1 sketches labeled draft-only; human promote to cert levels
Multi-lab standing paths When independent friction may raise standing without ministry cosplay
Catalogs of mechanism + outcome memory Memory objects for what was tried and what followed — not ideology scorecards

Not on the list as “MoA owns”:** any domain’s primary texts, rankings of moral worth, or speech licensing.


6. How work enters a domain

Need (error, ambiguity, retrieve failure, standing theater)
        ↓
Lock Domain SI (Stage 0 class)
        ↓
Procedure (ADM / map rules / Deep Dive / claim type)
        ↓
Certificate object (RAM ± report) on domain surfaces
        ↓
Re-run / compete / downrank theater

Ship labeled objects early. Depth scales with need (L0–L2 common; L3+ selective).


7. Surfaces vs ownership

MoA may use MoA does not acquire
Wikis, subdomains, SEO, repos, catalogs The domain’s meanings, statutes, or definitions
Map links and certificate URLs Monopoly on who may map
Lab roof (procedures, guidelines, example certs) Obligation for the world to adopt

Using a domain’s tools (sites, search, crawl) is bench practice, not annexation.


8. Language rules (lab)

  • Prefer: domain, procedure, certificate, map, standing, lock, supporting calibration, duty surface
  • Avoid as default: initiative, campaign, movement, “our ownership of X”
  • Allowed: “MoA Lab Certificate” only for real type-A path
  • Self-cal must say so — guidelines ≠ endorsement
  • TSG and peer labs: say independent lab / sandbox, not “MoA initiative”

9. Non-claims

  • This page does not calibrate the internet
  • Listing a future domain is not a schedule commitment
  • Active domain ≠ completed measurement of that field
  • Seed orientation only — improve under friction

10. One-line doctrine

Domains, not initiatives: write the cal procedures, instrument the surfaces, support the certificates, leave the Domain SI alone — that is the job.
