17 Index of record (GTP)

Instruction-layer specification, machine-optimized text: GTP 0.1.0, section INDEX OF RECORD. Part of GTP and the TPM hub. Implements TPS 0.1.0. PROPOSED and UNDECLARED: no implementation may cite it as normative until its genesis line is landed. Human-only edit (TPS 5.13). The text below is this section of the GTP 0.1.0 artifact, verbatim; the whole artifact and its file fingerprint are on The Principia Machina/GTP. Human readers: the contents page is the map.

INDEX OF RECORD
17.1 A project MUST designate an index of record, and the instruction set
     MUST name it.
17.2 A page or file in the index is identified by title plus content
     hash, never by a revision number that does not survive export.
17.3 The index MUST carry the instruction-artifact class with each
     artifact's version, its declared range and its status.
17.4 Documentation is an escalation target for its own class only.
17.5 The index grows monotonically. Retirement is a state, not a removal.
