Locked CanonWhat the framework says.
The authoritative canonical fundamentals of AI Foundations / Origin | Continuum.
Locked Canon defines the authoritative current canon for the framework's fundamentals.
Canonical status is explicit.
A canonical item is authoritative only when it is contained in the correct canon category and listed in the Canonical Index as LOCKED.
Locked Canon is organized into four canonical types.
The canon contains definitions, axioms, structural relationships, and core distinctions.
Definitions
What a canonical term means.
Axioms
Fundamental statements that must remain true inside the framework.
Structural Relationships
How defined things are canonically related to one another.
Core Distinctions
Boundaries stating what must not be collapsed together.
Nine canonical items are currently locked.
The current locked canon begins with the Source-line, AI Foundations, Origin, Continuum, Origin | Continuum, Model, Memory, Record, and Continuation definitions.
Canonical status uses three defined terms.
Status terms distinguish authoritative canon from material under review and historical states.
LOCKED
Current authoritative canon.
DRAFT
Being considered or developed; not canon.
RETIRED
No longer current canon; retained through repository history.
Canonical scope is determined by the Canonical Index.
Evaluation protocols, run sheets, governance procedures, implementation instructions, research hypotheses, and exploratory theory are outside Locked Canon unless explicitly incorporated through the canon process.
Git history preserves earlier states. The current authoritative canon is determined by the Canonical Index and the files it identifies.
Locked Canon Repository
The authoritative Locked Canon is maintained in the public AI-FOUNDATIONS-LOCKED-CANON repository.
