This release separates governing sources, companion standards, worked-run exemplars, and release-engineering files.
| Role | Artifact | Authority | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Governing source | docs/canon/RippleLogic_v12.6_Canon.md |
Highest RippleLogic semantic authority | Markdown source controls over derived DOCX/PDF renderings. |
| Moral-status companion | docs/sgp/SGP_v8.5.md |
Governs SGP outputs and moral-status handling | Does not alter RF/NCRC, TRC, CSV, or RLS gates. |
| Portable wrapper standard | docs/standards/ripple_md_Standard_v5.5.md |
Wrapper obligations only | Adds assurance/reconstructability; does not reorder the Canon cascade. |
| Agent deployment spec | docs/agents/RippleLogic_Agent_System_v12.5.md |
Runtime-control companion | Governs agent control surfaces and hard invariants. |
| Informative primer | docs/primer/RippleLogic_Foundations_Primer_v4.4.md |
Informative | Public doorway; does not control the Canon. |
| Worked-run exemplar | docs/aligners/RippleLogic_Aligners_Sheet_v5.6.xlsx |
Exemplar/training tool | Not a validator, not a ProofPack, not empirical validation. |
| Compact reference | docs/standards/RippleLogic_Cascade_Standard_v2.6.md |
Summary reference | Canon controls if conflict occurs. |
| CSV compact reference | docs/standards/CSV_Gate_Standard_v2.4.md |
Summary reference | Canon controls if conflict occurs. |
| Release support | README, CHANGELOG, manifest, verification scripts, reports | Release engineering | Do not define framework theory. |
| Computability vs Realizability Bridge | docs/guides/COMPUTABILITY_VS_REALIZABILITY_BRIDGE.md and Canon Appendix AK |
Companion clarification | Prevents generated/computable artifacts from being mistaken for grounded, selectable, executable, or ethical decisions. |
| RLS validation package | docs/validation/rls/ | Research support | Protocol/workbook for testing RLS dimensional non-overlap and inter-rater reliability; not validation results. |
| Examples | docs/examples/ | Informative | Public learning examples; Canon controls if conflict occurs. |
| Diagrams | docs/diagrams/ | Informative | Visual navigation aids; Canon controls if conflict occurs. |
| Artifact family | Location | Role |
|---|---|---|
| Hardening guides | docs/guides/ |
implementation guidance; Canon controls if conflict occurs |
| Validation scaffolding | docs/validation/ |
research and calibration protocols; not validation evidence by themselves |
| Historical release integration report | archive/release_history/IMPLEMENTED_IMPROVEMENTS_COMPANION_READINESS.md |
archived reviewer-feedback integration and companion-readiness lineage; not current authority |
| Historical implemented-improvements reports | archive/release_history/IMPLEMENTED_IMPROVEMENTS_FINAL.md and archive/release_history/IMPLEMENTED_IMPROVEMENTS_LAYOUT_FINAL.md |
archived production lineage; current release reports are under release/ |
| Artifact | Location | Role | Authority |
|---|---|---|---|
| Plain-English summary | docs/guides/RIPPLELOGIC_PLAIN_ENGLISH_SUMMARY.md |
Public orientation doorway | Informative, non-normative; Canon controls if conflict occurs |
| Public 3R / 1-2 intro | docs/guides/MATHGOV_3R_1_2_PUBLIC_INTRO_v12_6.md / .docx / .pdf |
Human-first teaching companion | Informative, non-normative; Canon controls if conflict occurs |
| Comparative positioning | docs/research/RIPPLELOGIC_COMPARATIVE_POSITIONING_AND_RELATED_WORK.md |
Academic related-work and positioning note | Informative, non-normative; Canon controls if conflict occurs |
| Implementation scaffolding | docs/guides/RIPPLELOGIC_IMPLEMENTATION_SCAFFOLDING.md |
Provisional heuristics, PCC profiles, fast-path rules, and institutional roles | Informative, non-normative; heuristics are not validated instruments |
| PCC-Lite worked example | docs/examples/PCC_LITE_WORKED_EXAMPLE_REUSABLE_CUPS.md |
Minimal training-grade worked run | Informative, non-normative; not validation |
This release includes docs/standards/Source_Coupling_Integrity_Standard_v2.3.md and Canon Appendix AL as a MathGov-native Reality Grounding and CSV hardening diagnostic. It is not a sixth gate, does not import any external ontology, and defines Source-Coupling Integrity entirely in MathGov-native language.
docs/standards/Physical_Causal_Admissibility_Evidence_Profile_v2.3.md: v12.0 compact evidence profile inside Reality Grounding and CSV for material physical or causal action. Canon controls if conflict occurs.
| Artifact | Role | Authority | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
docs/canon/AD_49_Cell_Welfare_Dictionary.csv |
One-row-per-cell companion for Appendix AD | Informative companion; Canon controls | Preserves the wide-record structure for implementation, audits, and future schema work. |
docs/assurance/ is an informative implementation-preparation layer. It does not outrank the Canon, SGP, or release manifest. It provides reusable records for alignment-scope boundaries, parameter and authority locking, governance-parameter attacks, distribution shift, domain profiles, security acceptance, independent replay, maturity claims, and reference-semantics planning.
| Artifact | Role | Authority boundary |
|---|---|---|
| Reproducibility and Use Standard v1.4 | Normative implementation companion | Canon controls semantics; this standard controls run record, state machine, and replay |
| Normative Kernel Index v1.0 | Machine-readable pointer map | Not an alternate Canon |
| Run Record Schema v4 | Structural record contract | Does not prove evidence or measurement validity |
| Run Validator | Semantic contradiction checker | Not a reference calculator or moral-truth engine |
WDBIP v1.6 is included as a Canon-subordinate normative implementation companion beneath RLS. ripple.md v5.5 controls its wrapper assurance surface. Run-record schema v4 separates V0 schema validity, V1 semantic conformance, and V2 evidence/use review. The two principal governing sources remain the Canon and SGP.
