00 Front matter and change record (GTP)

Documentation, non-normative; machine-optimized text: section FRONT MATTER AND CHANGE RECORD of the text published under the name GTP. Part of GTP and the TPM hub. Written against TPS 0.1.0, part 6, the AGENT CONTRACT, which taken as a runnable instruction set is GTP and carries no version of its own (TPS 1.2.6). This text carries no version and no genesis line; where it and TPS differ, TPS governs (D174.1). Human-only edit (TPS 5.13). The text below is this section, verbatim; the whole text and its file fingerprint are on The Principia Machina/GTP. Human readers: the contents page is the map.

FRONT MATTER AND CHANGE RECORD
0.1 NAME. The Generic TPS Prompt. Short form GTP. The form is a
    specification, not an instruction set: no agent is bound by this
    document directly.
0.2 CLASS. Instruction-layer specification.
0.3 AUDIENCE. Whoever writes or audits an instruction set for an agent
    that works a TPM wiki, on any platform.
0.4 CHANGE RECORD.
    0.1.0  2026-09-17  Initial draft. Authored from the structure of one
           working implementation on Claude, generalised
           against it and stated without reference to any platform's
           mechanisms. Proposed; undeclared.
    -      2026-09-26  Relabelled under D174.1: non-normative
           documentation beside TPS, carried with TPS 0.1.0, part 6
           (the AGENT CONTRACT); no version and no genesis line;
           nothing owed on the DECLARATIONS page. Head and sentinel
           re-cut; no rule text changed.
