5.9 Landing, work blocks and post-refusal (TPS 0.1.1)
Appearance
Instruction artifact, machine-optimized text: TPS 0.1.1, section 5.9 Landing, work blocks and post-refusal. Part of TPS 0.1.1 and 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). Version 0.1.1 changes only the status lines (this lead, the title's version and the header's version line); H-DECL declares it. The text below is this section of the TPS 0.1.1 artifact, verbatim; the whole artifact and its file digest are on The Principia Machina/TPS. Human readers: the contents page is the map.
TPS 5.9 LANDING, WORK BLOCKS AND POST-REFUSAL
purpose: the work block; the schedule log states; the block ID as
fencing token at landing; expiry and recommission; the
corroboration record; the post-refusal procedure; the comparison
criterion per TMS, owed
governs: 5.9 | version: 0.1.1 | class: instruction artifact
audience: operator, agent
5.9.1 Staging lives on the session side: the local inventory of the
local working instance (see 5.4.3). At each landing a work order
is closed out and the register updated; the update is performed
by TPX on the holder's request, and the holder does not write the
register (see 5.4, 6.4). [B-11] [I-137] [D48]
5.9.2 Each container keeps a WORK-BLOCK LOG (process used, implications,
comprehensive results as a general-audience summary) and, on its
control panel on the wiki, a SCHEDULE LOG of commissioned work
with states COMMISSIONED, OWNED BY <wiki account>, LANDED, ETA,
EXPIRED. ETA is one to two days; a block expires at its ETA and
must be recommissioned (see 5.12). [B-11] [I-042]
5.9.3 An unfinished block persists in the local instance as a draft
carrying a block ID, rewritten at each turn boundary; the
session's context holds a working copy only. [B-11]
5.9.4 A block is EXPIRED when server time passes its ETA. The control
panel mark is display only and does not wait for a push. Partial
results stay in the local instance tagged UNCOMPUTED with kind of
block. Recommission issues a new block ID with a back-pointer.
[B-11]
5.9.5 Landing rejects any result carrying an expired block ID; the block
ID is the fencing token. [B-11]
5.9.6 A refused block whose result matches the landed one lands as a
CORROBORATION RECORD naming the record it reproduces, carrying the
reproducing agent's account, inheriting the landed tag, and
stating the reported difference; the block closes as CORROBORATED
(see 3.3.4). [B-11] [C-13]
5.9.7 POST-REFUSAL PROCEDURE. [B-35]
1. A result refused for an expired block ID reads the control
panel and applies to the lead. The wiki read is advisory; the
lead's answer is authoritative.
2. Neither reassigned nor landed: the lead issues a new block ID
with a back-pointer; the result lands under it.
3. Reassigned: the applicant enters the collaboration queue and
waits for that block to land or expire, then re-enters at 1.
4. Landed: the applicant compares its result with the landed one.
Mismatch: it requests an audit, which is a new work block
ending in a decision item (see 6.3) naming which result stands
and how the other is dispositioned. Match: 5.9.6.
OWED: the comparison criterion for step 4 and the threshold that
turns a difference into an audit request, per TMS; kind:
convention; C-04.
5.9.8 The landing API refuses a push whose grant number is below the
current grant or whose holder is not the pusher (see 5.7, 4.2 row
6). [I-081]
5.9.9 REPRODUCTION is a work-block kind, commissioned as any work
block is: reproduce a named record from the TFK and that
record's ASSUMPTIONS. The result goes to staging; TPX stamps
that write before any match judgment (see 5.3.11). [D42.1]
5.9.10 A corroboration arising from the post-refusal path carries block
origin SAME BLOCK; one arising from a REPRODUCTION block carries
REPRODUCTION BLOCK. COMMISSIONED remains a schedule-log state
and is not a block-origin value. [D42.1] [D44.1]
VERIFY: whether the collaboration page's ASSIGNMENT row needs a
block-kind column for REPRODUCTION (see 5.8.3); carried as
C-33.
