From The Invariance Itself
Revision as of 19:59, 17 September 2026 by BFP Rauch (talk | contribs) (TPS 0.1.0 page 5.11 The index of record, verbatim unit)

Instruction artifact: TPS 0.1.0, page 5.11 The index of record. Part of TPS 0.1.0 and the TPM hub. Human-only edit (TPS 5.13). Version 0.1.0, proposed; declaration pending. Governing section: this page, TPS 5.11. The text below is this page's unit of the TPS 0.1.0 artifact, verbatim; the whole artifact and its file digest are on The Principia Machina/TPS 0.1.0.

TPS 5.11  THE INDEX OF RECORD
purpose: form, genesis, entry, scope, construction and its assertions,
         retirement; the library pages and the hub entry points; the
         class for implementations
governs: 5.11 | version: 0.1.0 (proposed) | class: instruction artifact
audience: operator, agent

5.11.1 Form: one MANIFEST page per container carrying the badge; one
       LIBRARY page per container; one CENTRAL HUB with one named entry
       point per audience; one global DECLARATIONS page; one global
       BUILD CHAIN page. [I-116] [I-011]
5.11.2 Genesis: the DECLARATIONS page's first line is the digest and
       version of TPS itself. [I-117] [C-22] [F2] [DI-1.1]
5.11.3 Entry: title, content hash, and, for the local instance, the
       archive it is held in. A page is identified by title plus content
       hash. [I-118]
5.11.4 Scope: all classes - TFK pages, register volumes, spine, CAC
       certificates, the two chain pages, instruction artifacts with
       version and STATUS (TPS; the class over which D(IS) is computed),
       implementations with name, version, digest, the TPS version
       conformed to, and STATUS (outside D(IS)), and documentation pages
       with the version they describe. Documentation is an escalation
       target for its own class only; so is an implementation. A DRAFT
       CONTAINER enters the index at instantiation. [I-119] [B-09]
       [C-21] [DI-3.1]
5.11.5 Construction: by TPX only, at the end of every landing. TPX reads
       container pages through the API, computes digests, asserts every
       page present, no hash collision, prefix unique, and D(TFK) equal
       to the certificate, writes the manifest and appends the build
       chain line. Any failed assertion writes nothing and leaves a dated
       sentinel page. The local manifest of PRB's working copy is rebuilt
       on every local write; the badge is written last. [I-120] [B-08]
5.11.6 Retirement: a retired container stays in the index in state
       RETIRED, pages protected read-only; the index grows monotonically.
       [I-121]
5.11.7 A LIBRARY PAGE for every container, reachable from a CENTRAL HUB.
       The hub carries one named entry point per audience - general
       reader, human operator, AI agent - each opening that audience's
       page set. The hub publishes the current D(IS). [B-28] [B-09]
5.11.8 The CENTRAL HUB is the index of record: it supplies as escalation
       targets one LIBRARY PAGE and one MANIFEST PAGE per container, the
       DECLARATIONS page and the BUILD CHAIN page; built by TPX; mirrored
       in the local working instance. [I-011]
