Amara's math packet landed as bounded research note. Operator-authority criterion applied (4 conditions hold). Seven laws to test specified for future projector implementation. Glossary entry deferred (PR #723 dependency).

…2026-04-29)

Amara's substantial math packet anchoring the shard transport
landed as a research note under docs/research/. Bounded shape:

- Core claim: shard files = write model / event store; tables =
  read model / projection; DBSP/Z-set = correction algebra
- Carrier types + write/read model decomposition
- Seven laws to test (commutativity, idempotency, retraction,
  supersession, projection-rebuild equivalence, write-read
  separation, chronology)
- Retraction model with two implementation options
- Anti-hotspot law (formal reason Option B works)
- F# implementation sketch for future projector script
- §33 archive header with non-fusion disclaimer (this note
  does NOT claim implementation IS DBSP; it claims the math is
  isomorphic enough that the laws should hold)

Operator-authority criterion applied (4 conditions all hold):
prior review converged + failure mode live + action reversible
+ more review = flywheel turn. Authorized landing.

Glossary entry "Git-native CQRS / Event Sourcing" DEFERRED
because it depends on PR #723 (Candidate-count Goodhart entry)
merging first to avoid overlapping diff regions.

Pull request overview

Adds a research-grade math note that frames tick-history shard files as a CQRS/Event-Sourcing write model with DBSP/Z-set delta algebra, and records the landing via a new per-tick shard entry.

Changes:

  • Add docs/research/tick-history-shards-as-dbsp-event-store.md formalizing the shard transport in DBSP/Z-set terms and specifying seven laws to test.
  • Add a new tick-history shard file docs/hygiene-history/ticks/2026/04/29/0335Z.md capturing the tick’s durable log row for this research landing.

…on drift

Three threads from Codex P2 + Copilot P1 (2 distinct findings):

1. **Filename convention drift** (lines 56 + 188): the research
   note recommended `HHMMSSZ-<short-content-hash>.md` but the
   currently landed convention is `HHMMZ.md`. Reframed as
   "future-migration recommended path (NOT the current landed
   convention)" with explicit pointer to the README's actual
   current convention. Math below uses content-hash form
   because it makes idempotency law cleanest to state, but
   operational form is HHMMZ.md.

2. **Shard schema mismatch** (line 1 of 0335Z.md): the row
   started with parenthetical narrative inside the timestamp
   cell, which doesn't match the README's strict 6-column
   schema (`| <ISO 8601 timestamp> | <model id> | <cron> |
   <body> | <PR ref> | <observation> |`). Fixed: timestamp
   cell now contains only the ISO 8601 timestamp; narrative
   moved to the body cell.

Aaron's diagnostic catch was load-bearing: BLOCKED was caused
by unresolved threads (= conversation-resolution requirement
in branch protection), NOT Aaron-side approval. I had
misdiagnosed `reviewDecision=NONE` as "human review required";
the actual blocker was these 4 unresolved threads. Stopped
making new shard PRs while diagnosing.

The pithy diagnosis (Amara): "BLOCKED is a state, not a cause."
Resolved into actual causes; fixing now.
