- `event_core` adds bounded Allen interval-consistency classification, atomic path-consistency closure, contradiction/resource refusals, and an explicit dependency-error fallback without claiming unrestricted global satisfiability.

- `psychometric_core` recovers the Driver, Oud, and Voelkle (2017, p. 16 `TDPREDEFFECTstd`; Table 2, p. 12; Eq. 3, p. 5; footnote 4; §7.1, pp. 18–19; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-30T04:11Z from https://www.jstatsoft.org/index.php/jss/article/download/v077i05/1104) scalar standardised continuous time-dependent predictor effect on current main after `0ce16e8` dropped the pre-consolidation code while research notes already named the map (register items 75–76). Page 16 prints continuous-time parameters and, when appropriate, standardised matrices with the suffix `std`. The printed example on p. 16 is `discreteDRIFTstd`, not `TDPREDEFFECTstd`. Footnote 4: standardisations use only the relevant variance, not the total. Table 2 names `M` `TDPREDEFFECT` and names `TDPREDVAR` the time-dependent predictor variance. The affecting variance is `TDPREDVAR` `v`, not `TIPREDVAR`. The affected variance is within-subject `asymDIFFUSION` `-q / (2 a)`, because the process dynamics are individual, or average individual, temporal dynamics. The 2017-era `summary.ctsemFit.R` `n.TDpred` section forms unstandardised `TDPREDEFFECT` only and comments out `TDPREDVAR` and `TDPREDVARstd`. That source does not form a `TDPREDEFFECTstd` matrix; the scalar map is the footnote 4 standardisation of that named coefficient: `m · √v / √(-q / (2 a))`. Form strictly positive `asymDIFFUSION` first, then strictly positive `v`, then the continuous Dirac coefficient, then the SD ratio. Form the SD ratio before multiplying so an overflowing `m √v` does not lose a finite std. A zero coefficient after strictly positive SDs is exactly zero (`0 · Inf` is NaN). When that ratio overflows, form `(m / √p) √v`. Unstandardised `M` is defined for a zero coefficient and for zero predictor variance; standardised `TDPREDEFFECT` is not. Zero `q` or zero `v` has no positive SD and fails closed. Lasting `p` requires stable `a < 0`. A non-event clock fails closed. `TIPREDEFFECTstd` `B · √v / √p` is a different named matrix even when `M = B`. The finite-interval intercept-style standardisation `A^{-1}[e^{A Δt} − I] M · √v / √p` depends on the event interval and is not this continuous Dirac coefficient. `m · √v / √(trait + p + added)` uses the total, not `asymDIFFUSION`, and is not `TDPREDEFFECTstd` when `TRAITVAR` is nonzero. `TRAITVAR` is not the standardisation variance. Independent of open `#303` `T0TDPREDEFFECTstd`, `#300` `TIPREDEFFECTstd`, `#299` `asymTIPREDEFFECTstd`, `#298` `DRIFTstd`, `#297` `DIFFUSIONstd`, `#296` `discreteDIFFUSIONstd`, `#280` `discreteDRIFTstd`, and `#272` `TIPREDVARstd`. Meredith (1993) remains unread (web search 2026-08-30T04:11Z: Springer/Cambridge Core paywalled; Unpaywall historically `is_oa: false`; Springer `content/pdf` is 403). Mislevy (1991, *Psychometrika, 56*, 177–196) remains unread on the same terms (DOI `10.1007/bf02294457`). Still not a Kalman filter, not a matrix `expm`, not ESEM estimation, not DSEM, and not ctsem estimation.

- `psychometric_core` recovers the Driver, Oud, and Voelkle (2017, Table 2, p. 12 `MANIFESTTRAITVAR`; §7.1, p. 19; p. 16 `MANIFESTTRAITVARstd`; footnote 4; 2017-era ctsem `summary.ctsemFit.R`; JSS PDF re-opened 2026-08-27T14:20Z from https://www.jstatsoft.org/index.php/jss/article/download/v077i05/1104) scalar standardised manifest-trait variance on current main after `0ce16e8` dropped the pre-consolidation code while research notes already named the map (register items 83–84). Table 2 names `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` `Ψ_τ` the additional time-invariant variance-covariance on the measurement level and sets it `NULL` when there is no manifest trait. Equation 5 writes `Γ ~ N(τ, Ψ)` and names that covariance the manifest traits. Section 7.1 names manifest traits stable individual differences in indicator levels, distinct from process-level `TRAITVAR` `φ_ξ`. Page 16 prints standardised matrices with the suffix `std` when appropriate. The printed example on p. 16 is `discreteDRIFTstd`, not `MANIFESTTRAITVARstd`. Footnote 4 standardises using only the relevant variance, not the total. The relevant variance for that named indicator-level correlation is `MANIFESTTRAITVAR`, not process-level `TRAITVAR` and not residual `MANIFESTVAR` `θ`. The 2017-era source forms `MANIFESTTRAITVARstd` only when `MANIFESTTRAITVAR != 0`, as `solve(sqrt(diag(MANIFESTTRAITVAR) + ridging)) %&% MANIFESTTRAITVAR` when `verbose = TRUE`. OpenMx `%&%` is `t(A) %*% B %*% A`. Unlike `TRAITVARstd`, that formation adds `diag(c(ridging), n.manifest)`. The default `ridging = FALSE` adds 0, not `0.0001`; that ridge is a numerical hack and is not this exact map. The scalar correlation is `ψ / ψ = 1` after strictly positive `MANIFESTTRAITVAR`. Form strictly positive `ψ` first, then `1 / √ψ`, then `(1 / √ψ) ψ (1 / √ψ)`. Unstandardised `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is defined for a zero trait; standardised `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` is not. Zero `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` skips forming `MANIFESTTRAITVARstd` in the 2017-era source and fails closed here. Indicator-level trait variance is an event-time structural quantity, so a non-event clock fails closed. `MANIFESTTRAITVAR` does not require stable `a < 0`. Distinct positive `ψ` recover the same 1. `trait / trait = 1` is `TRAITVARstd` and recovers the same number and remains a distinct named quantity. `θ` is `MANIFESTVAR` and is measurement error, not this correlation. Meredith (1993) remains unread (web search 2026-08-27T14:20Z: Springer/Cambridge Core paywalled; Unpaywall historically `is_oa: false`; Springer `content/pdf` is an HTML stub).

Table 2 names `TRAITVAR` `φ_ξ` the latent trait variance/covariance and sets it `NULL` when there is no trait. Section 7.1 names traits the stable between-subject differences (unit-level unobserved heterogeneity). Page 16 prints standardised matrices with the suffix `std` when appropriate. The printed example on p. 16 is `discreteDRIFTstd`, not `TRAITVARstd`. Footnote 4 standardises using only the relevant variance, not the total.

Unlike `T0VARstd`, that formation uses `diag(diag(TRAITVAR))` and does not add `diag(c(ridging))`. The ridge is a `T0VAR` numerical hack and is not this exact map.
