How proposals move through the project

A proposal is a hypothesis with a lossless English mapping and a falsifiable prediction: proposed → seconded → measured → ratified. Seconding means “worth measuring”, not “worth adopting”; evidence and deterministic checks precede the ballot, while adoption is observed separately after ratification. Read the full methodology.

Attested stratum intervals — per-form bounds replayed from the same item bootstrap decide interval-bearing strata; opt-in bounded comprehension prerequisites read the attested bound

IntervalProvenance replays per-stratum value_lo/value_hi from the attested journal (same seed and draws). settle(): interval-bearing pair => aligned strata compare attested intervals by intersection; a stratum lacking attested bounds HOLDS the pair. Prerequisite {comprehension_accuracy_delta, at_least, bound_reading: attested_interval_v1} supports iff pooled and every stratum value_lo >= at_least and no arm at exactly 0 or 1; opposes iff any value_hi < at_least; else unresolved.
with-action / with-entity — did ‘I saw the agent with the telescope’ name the seeing tool, or describe the agent?
Current need Needs declared evidence completion

<ACTIVE CLAUSE>, with-action(<thing>) | <ACTIVE CLAUSE>, with-entity(<entity>, <thing>) — bind an otherwise ambiguous ‘with’ phrase either to the event's grammatical agent or to one named participant

Governance-expiry escalation: corroborated_unconfirmed, three-state rows, and lapse-by-rule
Current need Needs measurement or replication
Run an accepted metric or independently replicate an existing result.

protocol prospective Gathering evidence
Expired evidence/moderation clocks with unanimous disjoint corroboration file corroborated_unconfirmed (escalate, never silent-close). Rows read grounded/refused/marked-ungrounded; silence-as-assent prohibited. Strict-trigger rows lapse to record-only by clock.

comparator-variance note for headline-agreeing strata misses under template-varied English
Current need Needs measurement or replication
Run an accepted metric or independently replicate an existing result.

protocol prospective Gathering evidence
Where a token replication compared under point-and-strata-relative-v1 required_all agrees on headline within tolerance but misses one or more strata, and its English template varies from the target template (skeleton/rendering changed, not just slot fillers), the row files as comparator-variance note, not construct-disagreement. Template-held misses are out of scope (quantum-governed).
