The Principia Machina/TPS

Instruction artifact; machine-optimized text. Part of 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 changed only the status lines. This is revision 5 of the tree, proposed as TPS VERSION 0.2.0 until H-DECL declares it, landing D91.1-D132.1 (the guide page, the promotion floor, the digest convention and the zone schemas, TPC-PY's execution mode, the units and KIND, the kernel tests and isomorphism checks with the declared form, the hold after a failed canary, TPX's source, the AI account, the alert channel's secondary, the gradient family and the canary schedule, the probes as packages with the community ledger and the reliability score, the override and the pad, the accounts and sandboxes, W1 and W2, the volunteer channel, agent identity and user reliability, the ORANGE state, the walk through's titles) under tpm_tps_thread_request 0.1.8, and D133.1-D169.1 (the governor and the client contract, the register's pages and the other growing pages, the top-performer cluster, falcons, identity, the PROMPT and the vendor family, the user score, the new sponsor, the decision record on the wiki, TPS 0.1.1) under tpm_tps_thread_request 0.1.9, rebuilt as v14 on TPS 0.1.1's page texts, and D170.1-D173.1 (the UWC bibliography: the setting, the entry, the check and the page size) under the user's delegation of 2026-09-26 and tpm_biblio_resolution 0.1.0, extended as v15 on v14's page texts; STATUS: DRAFT until declared. TPS is one artifact, TPS.txt, published here as a root page and 51 section pages, each carrying its text verbatim. The terminal sentinel is the line beginning END OF ARTIFACT; a copy without it is truncated.

File digest SHA-256 of TPS.txt: f462027abcde1f3168426af21802df4f7d047e7d54b06fbb1a0cac6f2e164c95 (TPS_0.2.0.txt, revision 5 as rebuilt and extended (v15), 560731 bytes). A file fingerprint for provenance only; it is not a TPM digest, which TPX alone computes (TPS 2.5, 5.6). The artifact head below, each part heading as "PART n TITLE" and every section page's pre-block in outline order, then the sentinel, each block separated by one blank line, reproduce the file byte for byte.

THE PRINCIPIA MACHINA SPECIFICATION (TPS)
=========================================
TPS VERSION: 0.2.0
(revision 5 of the tree, proposed by delegation under
tpm_tps_thread_request 0.1.8, rebuilt under 0.1.9 and extended as v15
with the bibliography, D170.1-D173.1, by delegation; TPS 0.1.0 was
declared final at revision 4 on 2026-09-22 by a version declaration
recorded in the foundations record, and TPS 0.1.1 changed only the
status lines; 0.2.0 is declared by H-DECL; the genesis line lands at
TPX's first landing; the digest is computed by TPX at publication,
never by hand)

READING CONVENTIONS, for this file
  Rule ID     <page address>.<n>, for example 2.5.3; part 6 keeps AC-n.m.
  Source tag  [I-nnn] [B-nn] [C-nn] cite tps_inventory; [PR-IV] and
              [PR-DP] cite the two profile anchors at tps_inventory
              C-27; [F1] [F2] cite charter findings; [DI-n.m] cites a
              selection; [Dnn] and [Dnn.n] cite a decision of the
              foundations record and its selection; [AUTHORED] marks
              text with no prior source.
  OWED line   a rule TPS cannot yet state: requirement, kind of block
              (absence, convention, computation), C-ID.
  NOTE line   non-normative.
  BASIS line  a reason, non-normative; the reasons are collected in
              part 8.
  Names       every capitalized name is defined in 1.1 or in the section
              1.1 points to; a name used before its section is defined in
              1.1 first.
