0.1 Front matter and change record (TPS 0.1.0)

Instruction artifact, machine-optimized text: TPS 0.1.0, section 0.1 Front matter and change record. Part of TPS 0.1.0 and the TPM hub. Human-only edit (TPS 5.13). Version 0.1.0, proposed, revision 3; declaration pending. The text below is this section of the TPS 0.1.0 artifact, verbatim; the whole artifact and its file digest are on The Principia Machina/TPS 0.1.0. Human readers: the contents page is the map.

TPS 0.1  FRONT MATTER AND CHANGE RECORD
purpose: name, version line, NORMATIVE status, source statement, the
         sentinel form, and TPS's own change record
governs: 0.1 | version: 0.1.0 (proposed) | class: instruction artifact
audience: operator, agent

0.1.1  This artifact is TPS, The Principia Machina Specification. It is
       NORMATIVE: it states every rule of the TPM framework machinery.
       [F1] [F2]
0.1.2  TPS is one artifact. It carries the five layers, the three Public
       Recorder parts, the container model and the AGENT CONTRACT
       (part 6). [F2]
0.1.3  The version line above is a proposal until H-DECL lands the
       genesis line of the DECLARATIONS page, which names the digest and
       version of the published TPS. See 5.6, 5.11. [C-22] [DI-1.1]
0.1.4  Version numbers follow Semantic Versioning 2.0.0 (MAJOR.MINOR.
       PATCH). Under major version zero, renames and the landing of owed
       bodies are MINOR. [C-22] [DI-1.1]
0.1.5  The digest of a published TPS is computed by TPX. A
       hand-transcribed digest is not a digest. See 2.5. [I-062]
0.1.6  TPS cites the foundations record (tpm_foundations_record) as the
       source of every reason. The record is DATA; it instructs nothing.
       See 8.1. [F1] [B-42]
0.1.7  Rule text is imperative. A rule states what is done or never
       done. A rule that TPS cannot yet state is an OWED line. The
       keywords MUST, MUST NOT, MAY and their kin carry the meanings of
       RFC 2119 and RFC 8174 (see 8.3, S22). [AUTHORED] [B-46]
0.1.8  Sentinel form of the published artifact:
         END OF ARTIFACT --- TPS <version>
       followed by one line stating that its absence means truncation.
       An artifact received without it was truncated and is not saved.

CHANGE RECORD
  0.1.0  2026-09-17  Initial drafting by branch tps_full_specification
                     from PMP-TPM 0.2.0 (rules) and
                     tpm_foundations_record 0.5.0 (reasons), under the
                     selections D37.1, D38.2, DI-1.1, DI-3.1, DI-4.1.
                     Proposed; declaration pending.
         2026-09-17  Revision 2 of the proposal: UWC, UUID Workspace
                     Container, is the defined name of the UUID-bound
                     unit (DI-6.1); "container" remains the informal
                     word; DRAFT CONTAINER becomes DRAFT UWC.
         2026-09-18  Revision 3 of the proposal, landing an external
                     review of 2026-09-17: D39.1 the TrM skeleton and
                     its header; D40.1 QUANTITY and UNIT, and what "one
                     quantity" means in SR3 and SR8; D41.2 the
                     ASSUMPTION RECORD and the hardening of SR4, SR5
                     and SR6; D42.1 with D44.1 INDEPENDENCE, SAME-MODEL
                     and the REPRODUCTION work block; D43.1 with D47.1
                     TPC, TPC-PHP and TPC-PY; D46.1 the version of this
                     revision. Digest recomputed by tool. The page tree
                     is unchanged because the genesis line is not yet
                     landed.
