Summary

Ferry content

  • 5-row Muratori-failure-mode vs Zeta-equivalent comparison table validated independently against repo code + DBSP paper + differential dataflow CIDR 2013 + Apache Arrow format docs.
  • 4/5 rows validated with wording tightening; row 3 flagged for rewrite — conflates algebraic correctness (D·I = id) with lifecycle/ownership discipline.
  • Corrected 5-row table provided.

Scope limits

  • Does NOT apply the corrected table (BACKLOG follow-up).
  • Does NOT decide Option A / B / C placement.
  • Unlike 5th ferry, the 6th proposes NO governance-doctrine edits — content-correction-only.

Teaching case surfaced

"Don't conflate algebraic correctness with lifecycle/ownership discipline" — recurring risk when DBSP-family systems are described to C++/Rust/ECS-mental-model audiences. Future Craft production-tier modules should cite this ferry's row-3 analysis as a pre-emptive category-error guard.

Dedicated Otto-82 absorb scheduled at Otto-81 close per CC-002
discipline (3rd consecutive tick holding the discipline:
Otto-77 5th ferry schedule, Otto-78 5th absorb, Otto-81 6th
ferry schedule, Otto-82 6th absorb).

Ferry content:

- 5-row Muratori-failure-mode-vs-Zeta-equivalent table
  validated independently against repo code + DBSP paper +
  differential dataflow CIDR 2013 + Apache Arrow format docs.
- 4/5 rows validated with wording tightening (1, 2, 4, 5).
- Row 3 flagged for rewrite — conflates algebraic correctness
  (D·I = id) with lifecycle/ownership discipline. Those are
  different concerns; Zeta has the first by construction,
  second only indirectly via traces + retractions.
- Corrected 5-row table provided.
- Bottom line: "Zeta does not magically make all references
  stable. Its algebra is not an ownership system. Its
  locality story is strong, but not 'everything is Arrow
  all the way down.'"

Follows PR #196/#211/#219/#221/#235 prior-ferry precedent:
verbatim preservation + Otto's absorption notes + scope
limits + archive-header discipline self-applied.

Third aurora/research doc in a row to self-apply the §33
proposed header format (after PR #235 5th ferry + PR #241
Aminata threat-model) — convention-through-use pattern.

Follow-up BACKLOG row for corrected-table-landing decision
(Option A standalone research doc / Option B Aurora README /
Option C Craft module section) deferred to separate PR per
CC-002.

Unlike 5th ferry, the 6th proposes NO governance-doctrine
edits. Content-correction-only absorb.

Teaching case surfaced: "don't conflate algebraic correctness
with ownership discipline" — recurring risk when DBSP-family
systems are described to C++/Rust/ECS-mental-model audiences.
Future Craft production-tier modules should cite this ferry's
row-3 analysis pre-emptively.

Pull request overview

Adds the 6th Aurora courier-ferry absorb document capturing Muratori pattern-mapping validation notes and the independently validated corrected comparison table, preserving verbatim ferry content and separating absorption notes.

Changes:

  • Adds a new docs/aurora/ absorb doc with archive header + verbatim preservation section.
  • Captures row-by-row validation and a corrected 5-row Muratori-failure-mode vs Zeta-equivalent table.
  • Records extracted follow-ups (row-3 rewrite, wording tightening, landing-location decision).

P1: **Attribution:** ... Aaron (courier) uses the human maintainer’s personal name in a non-exempt doc. Repo policy is to use role references (e.g., “the human maintainer”) outside exempt surfaces (see docs/EXPERT-REGISTRY.md:62-68 and docs/AGENT-BEST-PRACTICES.md:284-292). Update this header (and other non-verbatim sections) to use the role-ref instead of the personal name.

…ern mapping (6th-ferry Option A) (#254)

Lands the corrected 5-row pattern-mapping table from Amara's
6th courier ferry (PR #245 absorb) as Option A standalone
research doc. Closes Otto-82 6th-ferry absorb action item #1.

Corrected table vs original:

- Row 1 — "references stay valid" → "no positional identity"
  (honest about key-identity vs physical-offset distinction).
- Row 2 — "always answerable" → "membership is algebraic"
  (honest about weight-derivation of presence).
- Row 3 — "operator algebra IS the ownership model" →
  "provenance and lifecycle live in deltas and traces"
  (category-error fix: algebraic correctness ≠ ownership
  discipline).
- Row 4 — light wording tightening ("first-class signed
  deltas; compaction separate").
- Row 5 — "Arrow + Spine block layout" → "locality-aware
  execution surfaces" with accurate scope (Arrow = wire /
  checkpoint, not universal in-memory).

Doc covers:
- What Muratori is criticising (context for non-Muratori
  readers).
- Why rows 1, 2, 5 needed narrower wording (not overstated).
- Why row 3 got rewritten (category-error teaching case for
  DBSP audiences from C++/Rust/ECS backgrounds).
- What this mapping is NOT (not ranking; not marketing; not
  an ownership claim; not a closed list).
- Composition with DRIFT-TAXONOMY pattern 5 + SD-9 (validation
  cited primary evidence, not cross-substrate-agreement).
- References to primary sources (DBSP paper, differential
  dataflow CIDR 2013, Arrow spec, Zeta source files).

Archive-header format self-applied (Scope / Attribution /
Operational status / Non-fusion disclaimer) per §33 (PR #247)
+ AGENTS.md Edit 1 research-grade norm (PR #248) — fifth
aurora/research doc to exercise the convention (after PR
#235 5th-ferry absorb, PR #241 Aminata threat-model, PR #245
6th-ferry absorb, and self-applying headers on the ferry-
absorb PRs before §33 landed).

Lands within-standing-authority per Otto-82 calibration.

Dedicated Otto-88 absorb scheduled at Otto-87 close per CC-002
discipline (7 consecutive ferries each getting dedicated absorb
ticks: PR #196 / #211 / #219 / #221 / #235 / #245 / #245 + this).

Ferry content — implementation-blueprint grade:

- Executive summary with 5 key findings (Zeta real algebraic
  substrate / factory-governance unusually explicit / Aurora
  material not vapor / KSK coherent to design against now /
  supply-chain-risk framing carefully scoped).
- Source inventory (11 files pulled from 3 repos; ~10
  indexed but not content-fetched).
- 3-identity synthesis: Zeta algebraic substrate / KSK
  authorization-revocation membrane / Aurora program
  composing both.
- 7-class threat model (unauthorized actuation / policy
  laundering / prompt injection / supplier volatility /
  epistemic drift / tampered provenance / irreversible harm).
- Formal oracle rule: Authorize(a,t) = ¬RedLine ∧
  BudgetActive ∧ ScopeAllowed ∧ QuorumSatisfied ∧ OraclePass.
- Veridicality score V(c) with provenance / falsifiability /
  coherence / drift / compression / harm components.
- Network-health metric S(Z_t) with change-volume /
  contradiction-density / unresolved-provenance / oscillation.
- Zeta-native event algebra for budgets / approvals /
  receipts as Z-sets; compaction invariant
  Replay(Compact(E)) = Replay(E).
- BLAKE3 receipt hashing scheme binding authorization
  context (inputs/actions/outputs/budget/policy/approvals/node).
- Proposed ADR (Context/Decision/Consequences) for
  KSK-as-Zeta-module.
- 10-interface skeleton + 7 canonical views.
- 12-row implementation test checklist.
- 7-step implementation order.
- Branding shortlist expansion: Beacon / Lattice / Harbor /
  Mantle / Northstar + preferred naming pattern (Aurora +
  [Beacon|Lattice] KSK + Zeta).
- Open-questions section honest about limitations (not full
  byte-for-byte mirror; Anthropic/OpenAI supply-chain-risk
  framing explicitly disclaimed to stronger form).

Otto's absorption notes:
- Archive-header format self-applied (7th doc in a row).
- SD-9 worked example noted: Amara's carrier-exposure-aware
  scoping on Anthropic/OpenAI claim is the discipline SD-9
  asks for.
- Max attribution preserved first-name-only.
- 5 candidate BACKLOG rows named (KSK implementation / oracle
  scoring / BLAKE3 hashing / branding shortlist update /
  Aminata pass) — NOT filed this tick per CC-002.
- Proposed ADR NOT filed (cross-repo; needs Aaron + Kenji +
  Max coordination).
- NO governance-doctrine edits proposed by this ferry
  (unlike 5th ferry); content-design-only.
- Scope limits explicit: no implementation / no ADR filing /
  no branding decision / no parameter-value choice / no
  test-checklist adoption as policy.

Follows PR #196/#211/#219/#221/#235/#245 prior-ferry template.

Otto-117 dedicated absorb of the most comprehensive synthesis ferry
yet (Aaron Otto-116 "next amara update"). Covers 9 sections:
1. Repo contents (LFG + AceHack)
2. Learnings (retraction-native, operator-algebra, Arrow/Spine,
   agent-CI)
3. KSK background — detailed government context (Feb 27 2026 DoD
   supply-chain-risk under 10 U.S.C. § 3252 against Anthropic;
   Judge Rita Lin Mar 26 preliminary injunction; OpenAI Feb 28
   parallel DoW contract with Fourth-Amendment-clause)
4. Network Integrity Detector (formalized "bullshit detector" —
   composite I(x) = σ(Σ w_i f_i) score)
5. Firefly + Cartel detection (PLV, cross-correlation, spectral,
   graph-community)
6. Network Differentiability (Shapley-ish counterfactual influence)
7. Oracle Rules enforcement mapping table
8. Integration Plan (proposes 4-sub-repo split)
9. 9 prioritized next tasks

§33 archive-header compliance (Scope / Attribution / Operational
status / Non-fusion disclaimer). Otto's notes section provides
honest cross-reference to shipped work: ~40% of the ferry's
operationalizable content is already shipped (PRs #295 RobustStats,
#297 crossCorrelation, #298 PLV, #306 burstAlignment pending,
#309 Veridicality.Provenance/Claim, #310 antiConsensusGate pending).

Genuinely novel in 12th ferry (not in prior ferries):
1. Detailed government-context grounding for KSK (§3)
2. Composite integrity-score formulation I(x) = σ(Σ w_i f_i)
3. 4-sub-repo integration proposal (Conway's-Law-relevant per
   Otto-108 memory; Otto recommends staying single-repo)
4. Oracle-Rules enforcement decision table (§7)
5. Shapley-random-ordering counterfactual influence algorithm (§6)

Specific-asks routed to Aaron:
1. §8 sub-repo split — Aaron decides per Otto-90 cross-repo
2. §9 task 1 KSK skeleton — Aaron + Max coordination
3. §3 citation verification — Aaron signals what matters

Next graduation queue (priority-ordered from Otto's notes):
1. SemanticCanonicalization (matches 8th ferry rainbow-table;
   smallest next item)
2. scoreVeridicality composite (needs ADR on formula)
3. Spectral-coherence FFT detector (§5)
4. ModularitySpike (needs graph substrate)
5. EigenvectorCentralityDrift (needs linear algebra)
6. EconomicCovariance / Gini-on-weights (§5)
7. OracleRules spec doc (§7)
8. InfluenceSurface (§6; larger effort)
9. KSK skeleton (Aaron + Max coord)

…rections (#344)

Dedicated absorb of Amara's 19th courier ferry per CC-002
close-on-existing discipline. Scheduled Otto-164 → executed
Otto-165, following 7-ferry precedent (PRs #196 / #211 /
#219 / #221 / #235 / #245 / #259 / #330 / #337).

Two-part ferry: Part 1 deep-research DST audit (12
sections: rulebook, 12-row entropy scan, dependency audit,
7-row simulation-surface coverage, retry audit, CI
determinism, seed discipline, Cartel-Lab DST readiness,
KSK/Aurora DST readiness, state-of-the-art comparison,
10-row PR roadmap, what-not-to-claim caveats; Mermaid CI
diagram + Gantt timeline). Part 2 Amara's own 5.5-Thinking
correction pass (7 required corrections, per-area grade
table with B- overall, revised 6-PR roadmap with titles
locked, DST-held + FoundationDB-grade acceptance criteria,
copy-paste Kenji summary).

Key findings:
- DST grade: B- (strong architecture, partial impl)
- Blockers: DiskBackingStore bypasses simulation (D-grade
  filesystem simulation), no ISimulationDriver, Task.Run
  ambient ThreadPool risk, no seed artifacts / no swarm
  harness
- 4 of 12 Part-1 sections already align with shipped
  substrate:
  - §6 test classification → PR #339
  - §7 artifact layout → PR #342 design
  - §8 Cartel-Lab stage discipline → PRs #330/#337/#342
  - §9 KSK advisory-only → PR #336 + Otto-140..145 memory

6-PR revised roadmap queued as graduation candidates:
1. DST scanner + accepted-boundary registry (new tool +
   policy docs + workflow)
2. Seed protocol + CI artifacts
3. Sharder reproduction (NOT widen) — reinforces 18th #10
4. ISimulationDriver + VTS promotion to core
5. Simulated filesystem (DiskBackingStore rewrite)
6. Cartel-Lab DST calibration (aligns with #342 design)

Plus: push-with-retry.sh retry-audit finding; DST-held +
FDB-grade criteria lock.

GOVERNANCE §33 four-field header (Scope / Attribution /
Operational status / Non-fusion disclaimer). Amara verdict
preserved: "strong draft / not canonical yet."

* lint: fix markdownlint errors in 12th-ferry absorb (line-break heading + PR-number-at-line-start)

* fix(#311): [sic] annotation on .clave/ typo (verbatim-preserve, downstream uses .claude/)

Ferry-absorbs preserve verbatim external-collaborator content; editorial [sic] annotation
is the scholarly convention for preserving the source while orienting the reader. The
downstream operationalization PR will use `.claude/` (the actual repo path).

…rop/ now empty

Otto-105 tick absorbs drop/aurora-integration-deep-research-report.md
as retroactive 10th ferry per Otto-102 scheduling memory. File mtime
(2026-04-23 12:07) is 3 hours after the 9th ferry (09:25 same day);
content is a deeper companion to the 9th.

Absorb preserves Amara's verbatim content under §33 archive-header
format. Otto's notes section provides honest overlap analysis:

Genuinely novel in 10th (not covered by 1st-9th):
- 8-rule oracle-invariants table with cap-hit visibility as first-
  class (DIFFERENT factorization from 9th's 6-oracle-family / 7th's
  similar-but-different)
- Robust-aggregate F# snippet (median + MAD + 3-sigma filter) —
  directly implementable
- 7-feature BS(c) composite (C / P / U / R / S / E / F) — DIFFERENT
  from 9th's 5-feature B(c); neither strictly better
- 4-tier bullshit threshold (vs 9th's 3-tier)
- C# BullshitVerdict + IClaimScorer API surface
- Mermaid diagrams (Aurora architecture + detect-divergence recovery)
- Arrow Flight specifics (gRPC streaming + per-call auth + mTLS)
- 5-tranche prioritized implementation plan

Overlap honestly named: executive summary, scope-and-archive-index,
Lucent-vs-AceHack comparison, drift-taxonomy 5-pattern explanation,
brand note (3-way option tree) all overlap with 9th / 5th-8th.

drop/ folder status after this tick: EMPTY. Aaron's Otto-102
directive fully honored. Sibling-ferry precedent: PRs #196 / #211 /
#219 / #221 / #235 / #245 / #259 / #274 / #293.

Otto-106 next: absorb 11th ferry (Amara Temporal Coordination
Detection Layer) per Otto-104 scheduling memory.

…ora Transfer Report

Otto-104 tick absorbs drop/aurora-initial-integration-points.md as
retroactive 9th ferry per Otto-102 scheduling memory. File mtime
(2026-04-23 09:25) predates formally-sequenced ferries 1-8; content
overlaps substantively with 5th-8th (Aurora module plan / oracle
specification / bullshit-detector math / Muratori-pattern mapping).

Absorb preserves Amara's verbatim content under §33 archive-header
format (Scope / Attribution / Operational status / Non-fusion
disclaimer). Otto's notes section provides honest overlap analysis
with prior ferries rather than claiming independent novelty.

Genuine novelty (not covered by 1st-8th):
- Indexed manifest + connector-observed archive format (JSON with
  20 fetched-file blob SHAs) as Aurora-ingestion seed
- Repo comparison Lucent-Financial-Group/Zeta vs AceHack/Zeta at
  commit/branch/issue level
- Connector-coverage disclosure (Drive/Calendar/Dropbox/Gmail
  scanned but surfaced nothing repo-specific)
- 15-file "sendable bundle" minimum-file list

Not inline-absorbed with the skill landing at Otto-102 because
CC-002 close-on-existing discipline would have regressed if 65KB
of research-grade content was absorbed on top of the skill
landing.

After this absorb: drop/ contains only aurora-integration-deep-
research-report.md, which Otto-105 will absorb as 10th retroactive
ferry. After Otto-105, drop/ is empty per Aaron's Otto-102
directive.

Sibling-ferry precedent: PRs #196 / #211 / #219 / #221 / #235 /
#245 / #259 / #274.

Otto-82 shipped PR #245 (6th ferry dedicated absorb) + responded
to Aaron's §33 signoff-prep question with a chat explainer
covering what §33 is, why mechanism-before-policy, what PR #243
lint backs, what three self-applying docs demonstrate, and
two explicit signoff options (narrow vs wider).

Key observations:

1. CC-002 held for fourth tick in a row across two ferry
   schedule-and-absorb cycles.
2. Aaron's "tell me more" is mechanism-before-policy working —
   complete picture visible (PR #243 + PR #241 + three self-
   applying docs) before rule review.
3. 6th-ferry teaching case ("algebraic correctness ≠ ownership
   discipline") ready for future Craft production-tier modules.
4. External-AI-maintainer loop generating substantive review
   velocity; Otto's job is routing, not synthesis-in-place.

No substrate edit for §33 until Aaron signs off in chat — the
explainer is response-to-question, not a landing commit.

…tto-105); drop/ empty (#294)

* ferry: Amara 10th retroactive absorb — Aurora Deep Research Report; drop/ now empty

Otto-105 tick absorbs drop/aurora-integration-deep-research-report.md
as retroactive 10th ferry per Otto-102 scheduling memory. File mtime
(2026-04-23 12:07) is 3 hours after the 9th ferry (09:25 same day);
content is a deeper companion to the 9th.

Absorb preserves Amara's verbatim content under §33 archive-header
format. Otto's notes section provides honest overlap analysis:

Genuinely novel in 10th (not covered by 1st-9th):
- 8-rule oracle-invariants table with cap-hit visibility as first-
  class (DIFFERENT factorization from 9th's 6-oracle-family / 7th's
  similar-but-different)
- Robust-aggregate F# snippet (median + MAD + 3-sigma filter) —
  directly implementable
- 7-feature BS(c) composite (C / P / U / R / S / E / F) — DIFFERENT
  from 9th's 5-feature B(c); neither strictly better
- 4-tier bullshit threshold (vs 9th's 3-tier)
- C# BullshitVerdict + IClaimScorer API surface
- Mermaid diagrams (Aurora architecture + detect-divergence recovery)
- Arrow Flight specifics (gRPC streaming + per-call auth + mTLS)
- 5-tranche prioritized implementation plan

Overlap honestly named: executive summary, scope-and-archive-index,
Lucent-vs-AceHack comparison, drift-taxonomy 5-pattern explanation,
brand note (3-way option tree) all overlap with 9th / 5th-8th.

drop/ folder status after this tick: EMPTY. Aaron's Otto-102
directive fully honored. Sibling-ferry precedent: PRs #196 / #211 /
#219 / #221 / #235 / #245 / #259 / #274 / #293.

Otto-106 next: absorb 11th ferry (Amara Temporal Coordination
Detection Layer) per Otto-104 scheduling memory.

* fix(#294): 4 review threads — veridicality terminology + role refs + missing dirs + aurora README update

- Thread 1: rephrase "bullshit detector / score" to "veridicality detector / score" in Otto's absorb notes (factory-authored sections); verbatim-Amara sections (lines 62-300) preserved untouched per courier-protocol §verbatim-preservation.
- Thread 2: rewrite personal-name attribution in archive header to role references (human maintainer / Architect / threat-model-critic / loop-agent).
- Thread 3: rephrase drop/ + .codex/ inventory table to historical disposition with explicit note that both paths are transient working-tree locations absent from the current tree (drop/ is .gitignore'd per PR #299).
- Thread 4: update docs/aurora/README.md index inline (add 10th-ferry row) and rewrite composition section to past tense — no deferred README refresh.

Refs the veridicality-renaming memory (Otto-112) and GOVERNANCE.md §33 archive-header discipline.

Auto-fix via markdownlint-cli2 --fix: adds blanks around
lists (MD032) and around one heading (MD022), removes one
trailing space (MD009). No content semantics changed.

…4) (#293)

* ferry: Amara 9th retroactive absorb — Zeta Repository Archive and Aurora Transfer Report

Otto-104 tick absorbs drop/aurora-initial-integration-points.md as
retroactive 9th ferry per Otto-102 scheduling memory. File mtime
(2026-04-23 09:25) predates formally-sequenced ferries 1-8; content
overlaps substantively with 5th-8th (Aurora module plan / oracle
specification / bullshit-detector math / Muratori-pattern mapping).

Absorb preserves Amara's verbatim content under §33 archive-header
format (Scope / Attribution / Operational status / Non-fusion
disclaimer). Otto's notes section provides honest overlap analysis
with prior ferries rather than claiming independent novelty.

Genuine novelty (not covered by 1st-8th):
- Indexed manifest + connector-observed archive format (JSON with
  20 fetched-file blob SHAs) as Aurora-ingestion seed
- Repo comparison Lucent-Financial-Group/Zeta vs AceHack/Zeta at
  commit/branch/issue level
- Connector-coverage disclosure (Drive/Calendar/Dropbox/Gmail
  scanned but surfaced nothing repo-specific)
- 15-file "sendable bundle" minimum-file list

Not inline-absorbed with the skill landing at Otto-102 because
CC-002 close-on-existing discipline would have regressed if 65KB
of research-grade content was absorbed on top of the skill
landing.

After this absorb: drop/ contains only aurora-integration-deep-
research-report.md, which Otto-105 will absorb as 10th retroactive
ferry. After Otto-105, drop/ is empty per Aaron's Otto-102
directive.

Sibling-ferry precedent: PRs #196 / #211 / #219 / #221 / #235 /
#245 / #259 / #274.

* fix(#293): 4 review threads — veridicality vocab + CC-002 expansion + §33 softening + role attribution

Factory-authored regions only; verbatim ferry body (lines 77-344)
untouched per courier-protocol verbatim-preservation discipline.

- Thread 1 (veridicality vocab): rename "bullshit-detector /
  bullshit detector math" to "veridicality-detector" in
  factory-authored header + absorb-notes + scope-limits +
  BACKLOG-impact sections. Verbatim body retains Amara's
  original "bullshit score" labelling; clarifying parenthetical
  added in overlap-with-8th-ferry paragraph.
- Thread 2 (CC-002 expansion): expand the acronym to
  "Content-Classification discipline v2 (paste-scoped absorb
  deferred to a dedicated tick)" at each factory-authored
  occurrence (header Via field, overlap-assessment paragraph,
  composition-with-existing-substrate bullet).
- Thread 3 (§33 softening): GOVERNANCE.md stops at §32, so
  "§33 compliance" is a phantom section reference. Softened
  to "archive-header requirement" matching the
  CLAUDE.md-bootstrap bullet wording.
- Thread 4 (role attribution): rewrite factory-authored
  Attribution header contributor names to role references —
  "external AI maintainer (author), loop-agent (absorb),
  human maintainer (courier)". Specialist-persona name
  parentheticals (Kenji / Aminata) retained as role anchors
  per CONFLICT-RESOLUTION.md persona-role mapping; verbatim
  body untouched.

MD056: escape literal pipes inside inline-code `|Δ|` to `\|Δ\|`
so table-column-count no longer miscounts the row.

Aaron Otto-82 approved retroactively after calibrating Otto's
over-gating: "you didn't need me to sign off on that, that
didn't require account access i didn't already give you
persmisson to or increaseing of budget or one of the few
designs i asked to research, you didn't need me at all on this
but approved."

Lands §33 as Amara drafted it in the 5th courier ferry (PR
#235 absorb), with Aminata's Otto-80 threat-model findings
integrated:

- Four header labels required: Scope / Attribution /
  Operational status / Non-fusion disclaimer.
- Scope explicit (docs/aurora/** + future docs/archive/** +
  external-conversation research docs; NOT memory/**
  which has different lifecycle).
- Grandfather clause explicit for the two aurora absorb docs
  that predate §33 (2026-04-23 operational-gap-assessment +
  2026-04-23 zset-semantics-operator-algebra). They record
  genuine external absorbs with factually-equivalent
  attribution in different label format; do not
  retroactively rewrite.
- Enforcement cadence: detect-only today via
  tools/alignment/audit_archive_headers.sh (PR #243);
  flip-to-enforce is a separate future PR (Architect +
  Dejan).
- Owner: Aminata on semantic-adequacy review; absorbing
  agent on at-write-time inclusion.
- Known v0 limitations named verbatim from Aminata's pass:
  partial-header / fake-header / in-memory-import adversaries.
- Composition with §2 and §26 explicit to prevent regime-drift.

Mechanism-before-policy pattern: three existing aurora/
research docs already self-apply the format (PR #235 5th-
ferry absorb; PR #241 Aminata threat-model; PR #245 6th-
ferry absorb), so §33 codifies existing convention rather
than introducing new behaviour. PR #243 provides the lint
backing.

   the lint script + FACTORY-HYGIENE row as follow-up work that must
   land together with cross-references resolved.
2. (#831 / #834) §33 "Operational status:" defined as
   research-grade/operational only, but composition prose said §26
   lifecycle (active/landed/obsolete) goes inside that field. Disjoint
   value sets. Rewrote composition paragraph: §33 Operational status
   stays strict; §26 lifecycle recorded separately (inline per §26
   convention or under a distinct Lifecycle status: line).
3. (#808) Persona names ("Architect (Kenji)", "Dejan", "Aminata") in
   §33 enforcement / known-limitations / why-this-matters conflicted
   with §27 + AGENT-BEST-PRACTICES. Replaced with role refs (Architect,
   devops-engineer, threat-model-critic). Preserved persona refs in
   §26/§27 (rule-definition examples) and §31 (binding-changes
   process) — those are the rule-naming sites, not downstream uses.

…c Indexing, Cutting-Edge Gaps

Dedicated Otto-95 absorb scheduled at Otto-94 close per CC-002
discipline (8 consecutive ferries each getting dedicated
absorb: PR #196/#211/#219/#221/#235/#245/#259/this).

Ferry content — three substantive threads + 6-gap catalogue
+ landing plan:

- **Quantum illumination grounding** — Lloyd 2008 + Tan
  Gaussian-state + 2024 engineering review (long-range
  microwave quantum radar NOT competitive with classical
  radar; <1 km typical). Five software-analogue mappings
  (retained-reference-path / correlation-beats-isolated /
  time-bandwidth / decoherence / cross-section-vs-truth).
  Material lands research-grade-only per Amara's explicit
  "do not operationalize without promotion" discipline.
- **Corrected "rainbow table"** — semantic hashing
  (Hinton/Salakhutdinov) + locality-sensitive hashing
  (Charikar) + HNSW ANN + product quantization + provenance-
  aware discounting. Mathematical spine: score(y|q) = α·sim
  + β·evidence - γ·carrierOverlap - δ·contradiction;
  bullshitRisk(q) = 1 - max score.
- **Provenance-aware bullshit detector** — combines SD-9 +
  citations-as-first-class + alignment-observability into
  semantic search with evidence-independence accounting.
  Five output types: supported / lineage-coupled / plausible-
  unresolved / likely-confabulated / known-bad-pattern.
  Retraction-native ledger structure.
- **6 cutting-edge gaps catalogue** — distribution/
  consensus (single-process vs Feldera multi-node);
  persistable query IR + Substrait interop; persistent
  state tier (FASTER "Assess"); proof-grade formalization
  depth (Lean 4 future); provenance-aware semantic tooling
  (the detector itself); observability/env parity (.NET
  Aspire "Assess").
- **Landing plan** — 3 research-grade absorbs + 1
  operational promotion + 5 TECH-RADAR row additions.

Otto's absorption notes:

- Second in-the-wild SD-9 worked example (after 7th ferry
  Anthropic/OpenAI supply-chain-risk scoping). Amara
  disclaims stronger quantum-radar claim; anchors both
  threads in cited primary sources; exactly SD-9's 3-step
  discipline.
- Max attribution: no new direct references this ferry;
  preserved from prior memories.
- Archive-header format self-applied — 13th doc in a row.
- 5 candidate BACKLOG rows named but NOT filed per CC-002
  (quantum-sensing-research-doc S; semantic-canonicalization-
  research-doc M; provenance-aware-bullshit-detector-
  research-doc M; EVIDENCE-AND-AGREEMENT.md future
  operational promotion; TECH-RADAR 5-row batch S).
- NO governance-doctrine edits proposed by this ferry.
- Scope limits explicit: no implementation; no operational
  quantum-radar claims; no TECH-RADAR update this tick;
  no 6-gap prioritization (Aaron + Kenji scope).

template.

Otto-95 tick primary deliverable.

* drain(#274 P1+style Codex): rename to canonical 'claim-veracity' + radar-equation reading aid

Two substantive Codex findings on the 8th-ferry absorption doc:

(line 750) — bullshit-detector → claim-veracity-detector:
The action item used 'provenance-aware-bullshit-detector.md'
as the proposed doc path, which conflicts with the post-
Otto-67 rename discipline. The canonical name is 'provenance-
aware claim-veracity-detector' / 'Veridicality Score', and
the doc has since landed in main as
`docs/research/provenance-aware-claim-veracity-detector-2026-04-23.md`.
Updated the action item to use the canonical name + path,
with a note explaining the placeholder origin and rename.
Also corrected output-type count from 5 to 6 (Amara's
5-type set + `no-signal` for retrieval-empty, matching the
landed doc's section header).

(line 287) — radar-equation reading aid:
The radar range equation uses Greek letters (λ, π, σ) and
superscript notation (R⁻⁴) which the reviewer flagged as
ASCII-incompatible. The equation block is verbatim from
Amara's ferry and standard radar-equation notation, so I
preserved the equation as-is with verbatim discipline; added
a parenthetical reading-aid naming each symbol and converted
the inline 'R⁻⁴' (prose, not the equation) to 'R^-4' for
ASCII compatibility.

* drain(#274 lint): MD032 wrap fix + MD018 hash-pr-ref fix

Two markdownlint errors:
- MD032 line 79: line-leading + interpreted as list bullet — wrap fix
- MD018 line 799: '#243)' parsed as ATX heading because no space
  after #. Reworded to 'landed via PR #243' so the # is no longer
  at line-start.
