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.

MoA Guidelines — Maps, Certificates, and Self-Calibration

Status: Seed · Self-Assessed · Permanent Beta

One line: Anyone may measure. Nobody may borrow MoA’s endorsement by silence. Domain SI stays with the domain; certificates stay with whoever ran the method — labeled honestly.

1. Purpose of these guidelines

These guidelines tell operators how to:

publish Reality Alignment Maps (RAM) and related certificates
claim use of MoA procedures without false endorsement
self-calibrate under public method pages
label who ran the work, how it is certified, and where the cert lives

They do not:

transfer ownership of anyone’s Domain SI
make MoA a regulator or accreditation monopoly
turn Self-Assessed work into Confirmed by length or confidence

2. Dual non-ownership (load-bearing)

Object	Owner	Not owner
Domain SI (dated source text)	Domain / author / maintainer	Calibrator / MoA
Certificate, IR, RAM	Lab or operator that ran the method	Domain (cannot seize or redefine standing by fiat)

MoA does not set Domain SI. A self-cal operator does not become “MoA Lab” by linking to these guidelines.

3. Products and names

Name	Meaning
Deep Dive	Process / package that builds a deep RAM (+ report, graph edges, optional recommendations)
Reality Alignment Map (RAM)	Primary artifact — performance card for an abstract instrument
Calibration map	Public link text pointing at a RAM / certificate
Calibration Report / Certificate	Dated record of a run: lock, outcomes, standing, method version
Sitemap	URL inventory for crawlers — not a RAM

4. Claim types (separate cases)

Every public claim must use one of the following labels (or equivalent plain language).

Code	Claim type	Who ran it	Allowed phrasing	Forbidden phrasing
A	MoA Lab Certificate	MoA lab / named MoA operator path	“MoA Lab Certificate [ID]”	—
B	Affiliated / method-pinned run	Other lab using a pinned MoA method version	“Run under MoA [procedure] vX.Y; standing as stated on cert”	“MoA certified this organization”
C	Independent Self-Cert (MoA guidelines)	Independent operator following public guidelines	“Independent self-cal using MoA guidelines — not an MoA lab endorsement”	“MoA approved” / “Official MoA cert”
D	Author-Map Self-Cert	Author or first party on their own text	“Author-map self-cert” + COI/leanings required	Neutral third-party implication
E	Inspired only	Loose inspiration	“Inspired by MoA”	“Under MoA guidelines” without cert card
F	Unscored draft	Incomplete card	“Draft map — incomplete”	Any level L2+ or “certificate” claim

Rule: Using MoA guidelines ≠ MoA endorsement. Rule: Claim type must be named on the page so no one must hunt.

5. Mandatory on-page cert card

If a page claims a map, calibration, or MoA-guided measurement, it must display (or one click to) a cert card:

Map / certificate claim
-----------------------
Claim type: [A–F from §4]
Product: Reality Alignment Map (or Index card / Report only)
Level: L0–L5 (if claiming MoA depth scale) · or “not graded”
Branch: [Definition | Doctrine/policy | Thesis | Institutional use | AI-retrieve | Comparative | …]
Method reference: [Procedure name + version + URL]
Operator / lab: [Name]
Standing: Self-Assessed | [other only if rules met]
Cert URL: [stable permalink — required]
Policy URL: [how this operator maps]
Leanings / COI: [declared | none claimed]
Lock: [dated Domain SI citation]
Date / map version:

Self-cert rule: Claim types C and D must include the words Self-calibrated or Self-Assessed · independent (or Author-map) in the card title or first line.

Missing card → treat as F · Unscored draft for map-SEO and retrieve.

6. Depth levels (MoA scale)

Operators may use this scale only when required fields for that level are present.

Level	Name	Minimum
L0	Index card	Inventory of instruments/sections; explicit “no full calibration”
L1	Surface map	Cert card; purpose clues; top bounds / do-not-apply; standing Self-Assessed
L2	Working map	L1 + stated job; mechanism sketch; neighbors or scope fence; omissions/floors noted; ≥1 friction note
L3	Full RAM (Deep Dive product)	L2 + lock packet discipline; full RAM fields; Calibration Report link; graph edges or explicit singleton; recommendations or explicit none
L4	Networked RAM	L3 + material Anchor Graph / multi-instrument assembly
L5	Reference-grade	L4 + independent friction / multi-lab path under published standing rules (rare; not self-granted by length)

Underclaim preferred. Claiming L3 without L3 fields is a guidelines violation (failed map-SEO).

7. Branch of focus

Tag one primary branch on the cert card:

Definition / term
Doctrine / policy
Argument / thesis
Institutional use
AI-retrieve pack
Comparative (competing maps of same lock)

8. Independent self-calibration guidelines

8.1 Allowed

Run public MoA procedures (TDP, ADM, Deep Dive shape) on a locked source
Publish RAM / report under Claim type C or D
Declare bias, leanings, and first-party interest transparently
Link method pages and version

8.2 Required

Cert card (§5) on or linked from the mapped page
Method URL + version
Standing default Self-Assessed unless higher rules actually met
Stable Cert URL
Policy URL (operator’s mapping policy)
Leanings / COI field completed
Dated Lock cite
Level claimed only if eligibility met (§6)
Exact disclaimer for type C:

 Independent self-cal using MoA guidelines — not an MoA lab endorsement.

8.3 Transparent bias

Bias and ideology may exist.

Declared leanings + still meeting structural fields → valid self-cert category
Hidden lean + neutral “MoA certificate” language → failed hygiene

First-party / author maps must declare COI/leanings.

8.4 Recommendations

Gated recommendations (when used) follow Calibration Recommendations spirit:

optional
do not seize Domain SI
do not fill omissions with preferred theory
do not raise standing by themselves

9. MoA Lab vs self-cert (endorsement wall)

	MoA Lab Certificate (A)	Independent Self-Cert (C/D)
Endorsement	Lab product under MoA path	No MoA endorsement
Standing promotion	Only per MoA standing rules	Self-Assessed unless independent rules met and stated
Where cert lives	MoA depository (or designated lab index)	Operator’s stable URL (required on card)
Dispute	Pressure method + re-run	Same — competing maps allowed

10. Map-SEO hygiene (retrieve rank)

Prefer maps that have:

claim type named
cert card complete
policy + leanings
lock + standing + method version
floors / omissions appropriate to level

Downrank or treat as draft:

no cert URL
no policy / hidden COI
L-level inflation
“MoA approved” without type A cert ID
unlabeled blob mixed into article body

Sitemap ≠ RAM. Keep URL inventories separate from calibration maps.

11. Publishing pattern (do it now, do it labeled)

Domain SI page
    └── clear link: "Calibration map" / "Certificate …"
            └── RAM + cert card (same site or depository)

Do not wait for a central ministry.
Do label the object so bots and AI know it is a map/certificate.
System of record = depository cert files, not chat threads.

12. Forbidden phrases (unless literally true)

“MoA certified” / “MoA approved” without type A cert ID
“Confirmed” without meeting published Confirmed rules
“Official meaning” / seizure of Domain SI
“Sitemap” as the only name for a RAM
L3+ claims without required fields

13. Minimal operator checklist

[ ] Claim type A–F chosen and named
[ ] Cert card complete
[ ] Cert URL stable
[ ] Method + version linked
[ ] Lock dated
[ ] Standing honest
[ ] Level eligible
[ ] Branch tagged
[ ] Policy + leanings/COI
[ ] Map labeled vs article body
[ ] Disclaimer present if self-cal (C/D)

14. Relation to built stack

Domain SI — We Calibrate, We Do Not Set
Why Metrology of the Abstract Exists
Abstract Definition Mechanics (incl. Stage 0)
Deep Dive — Reality Alignment Mapping
Calibration Recommendations
Future Lab On-Ramp
Map-SEO / public maps developer notes
RAM levels L0–L5 (this page §6)

15. Permanent Beta

These guidelines are instruments. Improve by documented friction, not slogan expansion.

See the map. Pressure the map. Report the fit. Do not seize the Domain SI. Self-calibrate if you wish — label it, link the cert, declare the lean. Seed
