== Purpose ==
The guide is nine pages. Each opens with its diagram, states purpose and scope, gives the procedure, names what it does not cover, works one example, and links the sections of the specification that govern it.


The operator runs the wiki side of TPM: accounts, rights, protection, and the human declarations no agent may make. Two human roles exist and may be one person with separate rights:
# [[The Principia Machina/Guide/1 Platform and accounts|Platform and accounts]]
# [[The Principia Machina/Guide/2 Creating a container|Creating a container]]
# [[The Principia Machina/Guide/3 The kernel and its digests|The kernel and its digests]]
# [[The Principia Machina/Guide/4 Running work under the lock|Running work under the lock]]
# [[The Principia Machina/Guide/5 Landing and post-refusal|Landing and post-refusal]]
# [[The Principia Machina/Guide/6 Audits, strikes and decision items|Audits, strikes and decision items]]
# [[The Principia Machina/Guide/7 Certifying agents|Certifying agents]]
# [[The Principia Machina/Guide/8 Index, chain, badge and recovery|Index, chain, badge and recovery]]
# [[The Principia Machina/Guide/9 Publishing a specification version|Publishing a specification version]]


* '''H-DECL''', the declaring authority. The one account allowed to append to the [[The Principia Machina/Declarations|Declarations]] page. Declares container state (CERTIFIED, RETIRED, RESTORE, FORK), certifies containers, admits agents, closes out.
Reference while you work: [[The Principia Machina/Roles|Roles]], [[The Principia Machina/Diagrams/Terms|Definition of terms]], [[The Principia Machina/TPS 0.1.0/Contents|Contents of the specification]], [[The Principia Machina/Diagrams/Structure key|Structure key]], [[The Principia Machina/Diagrams/Process key|Process key]].
* '''H-OP''', the operator. Protects pages, configures groups, clears a stuck lock with an audit line, edits the hub frame text and the general and operator help sets.


== What the operator does at bootstrap ==
[[Category:The Principia Machina]]
 
# Import the bootstrap XML (this page set) with Special:Import, assigning edits to the local account.
# Protect the instruction-artifact page [[The Principia Machina/PMP-TPM 0.2.0]] and the two chain pages to the human-only level (PERMISSIONS).
# Create the two groups named in PMP-TPM 0.2.0 PERMISSIONS: the agent group (edit on agent-writable classes; no import, no protect, no delete) and the human-only group (editprotected, protect).
# Do not write a genesis line on the Declarations page. The genesis line carries a digest, and only TPX computes digests. It is appended when TPX runs its first build.
 
== What the operator never does ==
 
* Transcribe a digest by hand. A hand-transcribed digest is not a digest (D9).
* Edit an established TFK. A change to a container's foundation is a new container by copy-forward.
* Delete. No one deletes; the index grows monotonically.
 
== Governing section ==
 
PMP-TPM 0.2.0, PERMISSIONS; TFK, DIGEST GATE, RECOVERY, CHAIN; NEW-CONTAINER FLOW. Foundations record 0.5.0, D21, D25, D26, 4.4.
 
''This page is a bootstrap entry point at PMP-TPM 0.2.0. The full operator help set is built later.''

The door for operators: the people who run the wiki, create containers, hold the declaring authority's pen, certify agents and publish versions. If you are new to The Principia Machina, the walk comes first; this guide assumes it and will read as rules without reasons otherwise.

The guide is nine pages. Each opens with its diagram, states purpose and scope, gives the procedure, names what it does not cover, works one example, and links the sections of the specification that govern it.

  1. Platform and accounts
  2. Creating a container
  3. The kernel and its digests
  4. Running work under the lock
  5. Landing and post-refusal
  6. Audits, strikes and decision items
  7. Certifying agents
  8. Index, chain, badge and recovery
  9. Publishing a specification version

Reference while you work: Roles, Definition of terms, Contents of the specification, Structure key, Process key.
