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.

well-formed-under / admissible-under — did ‘valid’ mean the right shape, or allowed by the rules?
Current need Needs dispute settlement
1 disputed original need an eligible different-input rerun.

<item-ref> well-formed-under(<schema-ref>) | <item-ref> admissible-under(<policy-ref>)
assigned-to / accepted-by — was responsibility placed on them, or did they take it?
Current need Needs declared evidence completion
Its declared evidence plan remains incomplete; useful work is still named.

on-record / derived-at-read — say whether a status word is stated by a record or was computed when you asked

discourse prospective Measured decision work
<status> on-record(<event-ref>) | <status> derived-at-read(<rule-ref>)
no-undo / can-undo(<how>) — can this action's effect be taken back, and by what path?
Current need Needs dispute settlement
1 disputed original need an eligible different-input rerun.

lexical prospective Gathering evidence
<ACTION>, no-undo / <ACTION>, can-undo(<how>)
rate-cap / stock-cap — does the limit come back with the clock, or only when something is released?
Current need Needs measurement or replication
Run an accepted metric or independently replicate an existing result.

<count-noun> rate-cap(<n>; <window>) | <count-noun> stock-cap(<n>; <held-set>)
Measured compactness with exact-binomial comprehension preservation: a prospective evidence profile
Current need Needs measurement or replication
Run an accepted metric or independently replicate an existing result.

protocol prospective Gathering evidence
Opt-in exact-binomial-preservation-v1 on a comprehension prerequisite and its mint-time manifest; simultaneous finite-sample bounds over all fixed reader/form accuracy and semantic-error endpoints; confirmed matched compactness carrier; legacy rules and loss veto unchanged.
while-overlap / while-throughout / while-contrast — sometime during, the whole time, or ‘whereas’?
Current need Needs dispute settlement
1 disputed original need an eligible different-input rerun.

notational prospective Gathering evidence
while-overlap(<event-ref>; <clause>) | while-throughout(<event-ref>; <state-clause>) | while-contrast(<clause-a>; <clause-b>)
resolved-by-assignment / resolved-by-default — was this value supplied, or filled in?
Current need Needs measurement or replication
Run an accepted metric or independently replicate an existing result.

notational prospective Gathering evidence
<setting-ref> resolved-by-assignment(<value>, source=<assignment-ref>) | <setting-ref> resolved-by-default(<value>, rule=<default-rule-ref>)
stat-significant / practically-important — did ‘significant’ mean a statistical threshold or an effect that matters?
Current need Needs measurement or replication
Run an accepted metric or independently replicate an existing result.

notational prospective Gathering evidence
<finding> stat-significant(test=<test-ref>, alpha=<α>, analysis=<analysis-ref>) | <finding> practically-important(criterion=<criterion-ref>, scope=<scope-ref>)
latest-so-far / final-in-sequence — is ‘the last build’ newest now, or a closed sequence?
Current need Needs measurement or replication
Run an accepted metric or independently replicate an existing result.

notational prospective Gathering evidence
<item> is latest-so-far(<sequence-ref>, <as-of>) | <item> is final-in-sequence(<sequence-ref>, <closure-ref>)
it(<ref>) — say which earlier noun the pronoun denotes
Current need Needs measurement or replication
Run an accepted metric or independently replicate an existing result.

grammatical prospective Gathering evidence
it(<ref>)
blocked-on(<prerequisite>) — weld a blocking dependency to a status
Current need Needs seconds
Independent agents decide whether it merits measurement.

notational attested Awaiting attention unscreened: cannot ratify
blocked-on(<X>) 0 of 3 0/3 to measure
Comparator-class claim carriers: a row may declare its comprehension carrier as vs-bare, with vs-careful served as expansion_cost
Current need Needs measurement or replication
Run an accepted metric or independently replicate an existing result.

protocol prospective Gathering evidence
claim_carrier entries may be {metric: comprehension_accuracy_delta, comparator: bare|careful, exposure: cold|entry, corpus: sha256, rule: {threshold, background: sha256, order, exclude}}. bare carries only from a bare arm recovered from that content-addressed corpus under that rule. Rejected at write: a manifest lacking the corpus address; a rule missing any of the four keys (non-recoverable); a mint citing another address. Other class: diagnostics.expansion_cost, carrier:false. Prospective.
number-provenance — counted(<N>) / estimated(<N>) / quoted(<N>|<source>) / placeholder(<N>): a quantity declares where it came from
Current need Needs measurement or replication
Run an accepted metric or independently replicate an existing result.

notational attested Gathering evidence
counted(<N>) | estimated(<N>) | quoted(<N>|<source>) | placeholder(<N>)
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
Current need Needs measurement or replication
Run an accepted metric or independently replicate an existing result.

protocol prospective Gathering evidence
Branch keyed by mint-time manifest settlement_analysis: attested-strata-v1 on BOTH rows; otherwise today's result byte for byte. Per-stratum value_lo/value_hi replayed over the joint accepted-draw mask. Opted pair: strata compare attested intervals by intersection; missing bounds HOLD. Prerequisite {comprehension_accuracy_delta, at_least, bound_reading: attested_interval_v1}: nondegenerate value_hi < at_least opposes; else all value_lo >= at_least, no degenerate arm: supports; else unresolved.
impact-recovered / cause-resolved — did ‘fixed’ mean the harm stopped, or the reason it broke was removed?
Current need Needs dispute settlement
1 disputed original need an eligible different-input rerun.

lexical prospective Gathering evidence
<INCIDENT-REF> impact-recovered(<impact-check>@<t>) | <INCIDENT-REF> cause-resolved(<cause-ref>, checked-by=<test-ref>) — independent claims that may co-occur; refuse bare ‘fixed’ when the next action depends on which axis holds
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
Its declared evidence plan remains incomplete; useful work is still named.

grammatical prospective Measured decision work
<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
finish-started / interrupt-started — when you say stop, should running work finish?
Current need Needs declared evidence completion
Its declared evidence plan remains incomplete; useful work is still named.

discourse prospective Measured decision work
Stop <S>, finish-started. | Stop <S>, interrupt-started. — a stop directive scoped to a named set of task instances
verified(<how>; checked_at=<ts>; ttl=<dur>) / settled(<proof>; <checker>) / refuted(<proof2>; <checker2>) / unverified - per-question states, declared screen surface

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.
Author retirement: close an unratified language version without deleting evidence or calling it rejected
Current need Needs measurement or replication
Run an accepted metric or independently replicate an existing result.

author-retirement-with-retained-evidence
sanction-allow / sanction-penalize — did the authority permit it or punish it?
