Full population multi-round follow-on.\n\nOtto (loop-agent PM hat) skeleton; Soraya (formal-verification-expert) owns Lean4 cadence.

…ON LANDED)

Creates docs/linguistic-seed/ directory + README.md (220
lines) establishing the substrate shape for gap #2 of the
Frontier bootstrap readiness roadmap.

Content:
- Why-this-exists block with three load-bearing uses:
  prompt-injection resistance / Soulfile DSL vocabulary /
  Craft prereq graph root
- Minimal-axiom approach (Tarski / Meredith / Robinson Q
  lineage)
- Per-term schema (plain English / mathematical /
  Lean4 formalisation / grounding point / exclusions /
  citations)
- Prereq DAG growth discipline (no cycles / backwards-chain
  from current needs)
- Initial term candidates (truth / implication / equality /
  set / function / axiom / definition / retraction)
- Composition with prompt-injection bootstrap + Soulfile
  DSL + Craft prereq graph + Frontier bootstrap

Gap #2 status: pending → SKELETON LANDED. Full population
(20+ Lean4-formalised terms) = multi-round follow-on.

it fires.

Heavy tick:
- Gap #7 (tick-history / fire-history scope-mix) CLOSED on
  re-inspection (same ROUND-HISTORY pattern: files project-
  specific, schema factory-generic)
- Gap #2 (linguistic-seed substrate) SKELETON LANDED via
  PR #194 — docs/linguistic-seed/README.md with 3 load-
  bearing uses, minimal-axiom approach, per-term schema,
  prereq DAG discipline, 8 initial term candidates
- Code-abstraction meta-observation absorbed — Aaron:
  Craft pedagogy IS code abstraction (same cognitive-load
  principle). Three analogies (hammer / calculator /
  code-abstraction) converge. "Enough analogies; you got
  it."
- firstmovers.ai reference captured — Julia McCoy's
  website for AI-first education framing; research-fetch

Frontier readiness: 5 of 8 closed + gap #2 skeleton = 6
advanced. Remaining: #1 multi-repo split (unblocked L),
#4 bootstrap-reference docs (L + reviewers), #2 full
population (multi-round).

Pull request overview

Adds a new documentation skeleton for the “linguistic seed” substrate, intended to define a minimal, formally-groundable vocabulary layer used across factory docs and future Lean4 formalisation work.

Changes:

  • Introduces docs/linguistic-seed/README.md with a proposed term-entry schema, dependency DAG concept, and growth discipline.
  • Documents initial candidate terms and how this substrate composes with other factory concepts (prompt-injection resistance, Soulfile DSL, Craft prereqs, Frontier bootstrap).

The seed's mathematical precision IS the factory's
primary prompt-injection defence at the language layer
(complementing BP-11 data-not-directives at the structural
layer). When an attacker attempts to re-ground a seed
term, the definitional precision denies entry — any
reinterpretation must fit the algebra, and attempted
reinterpretations outside the algebra are type-check
failures, reportable by audit.

This paragraph makes strong guarantees about security outcomes (e.g., “denies entry”, “type-check failures” for reinterpretations). Since the enforcement mechanism isn’t specified here, please soften to an evidence-based claim (e.g., “reduces ambiguity/attack surface”) or explicitly describe what is actually checked/enforced and under what assumptions.

term, the definitional precision reduces ambiguity and
narrows the space for plausible reinterpretation. Terms
that depart from the seed's algebra become easier to
detect, reason about, and flag during audit and review.

Inline code spans cannot contain newlines in CommonMark, so this backticked per-user memory filename will render incorrectly. Keep the entire filename on one line (or switch to a fenced code block / link reference), and consider adding a short note like other docs do about these per-user memory references intentionally not resolving in-repo.

This second per-user memory reference is also split across multiple lines inside backticks, which breaks Markdown rendering. Keep the backticked filename on a single line, or format it as a fenced code block / reference-style link so it stays readable without relying on hard wrapping.

The inline code path is hard-wrapped mid-token (docs/linguistic- then seed/terms/...). Inline code cannot span a newline, so this will render incorrectly and make the path harder to copy/paste. Please keep the full path in a single inline-code span or use a fenced code block.
