8.1 The foundations record as source (TPS 0.2.0)
Instruction artifact, machine-optimized text: TPS, section 8.1 The foundations record as source. Part of TPS 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). TPS 0.1.1 changed only the status lines. This page is revision 5 of the tree, proposed as version 0.2.0 until H-DECL declares it. The text below is this section of the TPS artifact at 0.2.0 (proposed), verbatim; the whole artifact and its file digest are on The Principia Machina/TPS. Human readers: the contents page is the map.
TPS 8.1 THE FOUNDATIONS RECORD AS SOURCE
purpose: the record as DATA; its version and change record; the routed
obligations and TBD register as TPS's origin docket; what TPS
transcribed from the record alone
governs: 8.1 | version: 0.2.0 (proposed) | class: instruction artifact
audience: operator
8.1.1 The foundations record, tpm_foundations_record 0.5.0
(2026-09-13), is a descriptive record of the decisions and
requirements settled in the TPM foundations thread. Not an
instruction artifact. It carries no obligations and writes no
register. Every line of it states what was declared, selected, or
follows from a standing rule, and says which. [B-42] [B-45]
8.1.2 Where the record's sections land in TPS: 1 NAMES -> 1.1; 2
PROJECT CONSTANTS -> 1.2 to 1.4, 4.1; 3 DECISIONS D1-D33 -> the
rules throughout, their bases in 8.2; 4 RECORDED REQUIREMENTS ->
parts 2 to 5; 5 DETERMINED BY STANDING RULE -> parts 3 to 5 and
7; 6 STATED LIMITS AND NON-GOALS -> 7.1; 7 OBLIGATIONS ROUTED TO
PIECES and 8 TBD REGISTER -> the OWED lines; 9 TRANSFERRED ITEMS
and 10 OPEN QUESTIONS -> 8.1.5 and 8.1.6; 11 CHANGE RECORD ->
8.1.3; 12 SOURCES -> 8.3 and the references page. [B-41] [B-42]
[B-43] [B-44] [B-45] [B-46]
8.1.3 The record's versions: 0.1.0, 2026-09-12, D1-D14 and the TBD
register at 19 items; 0.2.0, 2026-09-13, D15-D22, the renames of
D17, sections 4.7, 4.8 and 12; 0.3.0, 2026-09-13, D23 and CR9;
0.4.0, 2026-09-13, D24, the declared parameters, TBD 22; 0.5.0,
2026-09-13, D25-D33 and section 12 group J. Each version was
proposed by a branch and declared by the human. [B-45]
8.1.4 The implementation's own history, as its change record states:
PMP-TPM 0.1.0 emitted 2026-09-13 from an answers file derived from
the record at 0.3.0 and declared installed the same day; 0.2.0,
2026-09-15, MINOR, carrying D25-D33. Its ranking-rule notes and
sequencing rule are its own and are not TPS rules. [I-136] [I-012]
[I-017]
8.1.5 Record 7 routes obligations to the pieces; TPS is the pieces, and
carries each as an OWED line at the page named: the CAC items at
2.5, 4.1, 4.5, 5.5, 5.6, 5.14; the RR items at 3.2, 3.3; PLATFORM
at 5.2, 5.15; TPX at 5.3; PRB at 5.4; TMS per container at 2.4.
Record 8's open items land the same way: 11 (Public Recorder
scope, accumulating in part 5), 12 (3.3), 13 (3.4), 19 (2.2, 2.3),
the sub-item of 6 (3.3); 22 is an implementation matter. Record
9's transferred items DD1, DD2 were resolved outside TPM's scope.
[B-41] [B-42] [B-43]
8.1.6 Record 10's open questions that touch TPS: the guide and the
charter it digests, not reachable (2.2, 2.3); conceptual diagrams,
none declared (5.15.5). The rest are record and implementation
matters. [B-44]
8.1.7 Decisions D37 and D38, selected 2026-09-16 after the record's
0.5.0, are not yet in the record: D37.1 makes TPS one artifact
with the AGENT CONTRACT as part 6 and rewrites CR9; D38.2 sites
the implementation's status register. They land in record 0.6.0.
[F2]
8.1.8 Rules of parts 2 to 5 whose sole source is the record (the
implementation states no rule for them): 2.1.3, 2.1.4, 2.1.5, 2.2.2, 2.3.2, 2.3.4, 2.3.5, 2.5.6, 2.5.8, 3.1.2, 3.1.5, 3.1.6, 3.2.6, 3.3.2, 3.3.4, 3.4.2, 3.4.3, 3.4.6, 4.1.7, 4.2.2, 4.2.4, 4.2.5, 4.2.7, 5.2.3, 5.3.4, 5.3.6, 5.4.3, 5.7.2, 5.7.3, 5.8.3, 5.8.4, 5.8.6, 5.8.7, 5.9.1, 5.9.3, 5.9.4, 5.9.5, 5.9.7, 5.11.7, 5.15.1, 5.15.2, 5.15.3, 5.15.4, 5.15.5, 5.15.6. Each cites
its record anchor; the record is DATA, and these rules become
normative here. [C-28]
8.1.9 THE RECORD AT 0.16.0. Revision 5 of this artifact is built from
tpm_foundations_record 0.16.0 (2026-09-25), which carries D1-D132
in its section 3, the parrot design and the identity design in
its sections 4.11-4.13, the TPC increments in its section 7, and
section 12 groups N and O. Its versions since 0.5.0 are stated in
its own change record and are not restated here. The selections
this revision carries are named in 0.1's change record and based
in 8.2; the request that mapped them is tpm_tps_thread_request
0.1.8. Where the implementation's wording (PMP-TPM 0.11.1) and
the record's selections differ, the record's selections govern
and the difference is reported to the branch. [D90.1] [D129.1]
8.1.10 THE RECORD AT 0.17.0, AND ON THE WIKI (D167.1). Revision 5 is rebuilt
from tpm_foundations_record 0.17.0 (2026-09-25), which adds D133-D169
to its section 3 and group P to its section 12, under
tpm_tps_thread_request 0.1.9 and the label map of landing round 7
(tpm_lr7_label_map 0.1.0). The record is also published verbatim on the
wiki as "The Principia Machina/Foundations record" (split by section if
it nears the post-expand limit, marked DATA), with "The Principia
Machina/Decisions", one line per D-number, generated by script, never
typed: every match of the EXCLUSION LIST's whole-token patterns is
replaced by a pointer to the DECLARATIONS page and the replacements are
counted on the page; the exclusion filter runs by script before each
import, and by TPX's save hook once TPX runs (whether an import passes
the save hook is VERIFY); TPX's transcription job covers the record
once TPX runs. Each new version is a new revision. The pages are
landing round 7's batch; this artifact names their titles as plain text
until they exist. Where the implementation's wording (PMP-TPM 0.12.0)
and the record's selections differ, the record's selections govern and
the difference is reported to the branch. [D167.1] [D90.1]
Pages named in 8.1.10, added by landing round 7's page batch: Foundations record; Decisions.
