The Principia Machina/TPS/4.3 The strike skeleton

Instruction artifact, machine-optimized text: TPS, section 4.3 The strike skeleton. Part of TPS and the TPM hub. Human-only edit (TPS 5.13). TPS 0.1.0 was declared final at revision 4 on 2026-09-22, a version declaration recorded in the foundations record; the chain begins at TPX's first landing (TPS 5.6.7). TPS 0.1.1, which changed only the status lines, was declared final on 2026-09-26, TPS 0.3.0, revision 6, on 2026-09-28, and TPS 0.4.0, revision 7, on 2026-09-30. This page is revision 8 of the tree, declared final as TPS 0.5.0 by H-DECL on 2026-10-03 (naming TPS_0.5.0.txt by its file digest and its D(TPS)); revision 7 is carried whole, and revision 5, proposed as 0.2.0, stays undeclared. The text below is this section of the TPS artifact at 0.5.0, verbatim; the whole artifact and its file digest are on The Principia Machina/TPS. Human readers: the contents page is the map.

TPS 4.3  THE STRIKE SKELETON
purpose: (i)-(v); what a TMS may not relax
governs: 4.3 | version: 0.5.0 (proposed) | class: instruction artifact
audience: operator, agent

4.3.1  SKELETON (D15). Framework machinery; every TMS instantiates its
       parameters and may not relax (i) or (ii). [I-066]
         (i)   the TFK is inviolable; a record contradicting it is struck
               without ranking;
         (ii)  a record stands while internally consistent and
               uncontradicted;
         (iii) conflicting records are ordered by distance to the TFK;
         (iv)  a more distant record prevails only past an
               extraordinary-case threshold;
         (v)   a regime split between logical/mathematical results and
               measured results with stated uncertainty.
4.3.2  A TMS MAY carry additional entries for precision or limiting
       cases. Every TMS entry passes SR9 at CAC certification, before the
       container's first round of research. TMS entries are immutable
       per container (see 2.4). [I-067]
