APPENDIX D: BUILD ORDER FOR v2

What to build next, in dependency order.

D.1 Sequence

Phase 1: Foundation (Blocks everything)

1. Complete citation audit (all 90 citations) - Dependencies: None - Output: All citations verified with DOI/status/verifier - Unblocks: Everything - Effort: 2–4 weeks - Method: Systematic DOI resolution + spot-check against primary sources

1. Independence graph construction - Dependencies: #1 (citation audit) - Output: Directed influence graph for all convergence edges - Unblocks: Convergence scoring, tier revisions - Effort: 4–6 weeks - Method: Citation network analysis + historiographic research

Phase 2: Node Deep-Dives (Template + Execution)

1. Memory node deep-dive (C07) - Dependencies: #1, #2 - Output: Fully populated C07 with rival_frame, falsifier, critics, independence evidence - Unblocks: Template for all remaining node deep-dives - Effort: 2–3 weeks - Method: Adversarial review; solicit named critics; document strongest objections

1. No-go integration (F10) - Dependencies: #1 - Output: Constraint matrix — rows = nogos, columns = patterns, cells = limitation - Unblocks: Final tier assignments, honest boundary-setting - Effort: 3–4 weeks - Method: Derivation from established theorems; expert review

Phase 3: Machine-Readable Implementation

1. OIP voxel graph implementation - Dependencies: #1, #2, #3, #4 - Output: Machine-readable voxel graph with all 28 facets populated - Unblocks: API deployment, convergence dashboard - Effort: 4–6 weeks - Method: JSON schema + database + API layer

1. Cross-modal convergence detection (F09) - Dependencies: #5 (voxel graph as target) - Output: LLM-embedding-based detection pipeline - Unblocks: Discovery of new convergence edges - Effort: 4–6 weeks - Method: Embed ~10k papers, cluster, flag cross-disciplinary semantic matches

Phase 4: Visualization & Communication

1. Visual index completion - Dependencies: #5 - Output: Illustrated diagram for every pattern (25 images) - Unblocks: Public communication, educational use - Effort: 2–3 weeks - Method: Generate images from descriptions; human review for accuracy

D.3 Critical Path

The critical path is: #1 → #2 → #3 → #5 → #6 - Total estimated time: 16–25 weeks (4–6 months) - Parallel work possible: #4 can run parallel to #2–#3 - #7 can run parallel to #6

D.4 Blocking Risks

Risk

Impact

Mitigation

Primary sources unavailable for some citations

#1 blocked for subset

Flag as UNVERIFIED; do not let subset block whole audit

Independence graph too sparse

#2 low confidence

Use probabilistic estimates where evidence is thin

Critics unresponsive for C07 deep-dive

#3 incomplete

Document the absence; a missing critic is data

OIP implementation delayed

#5–#7 blocked

Maintain flat-file JSON as interim format

D.5 Success Criteria for v2

v2 is complete when: 1. All 90 citations are verified (CONFIRMED, CORRECTED, or flagged UNVERIFIED) 2. Independence graph covers all load-bearing edges with scored evidence 3. All 25 nodes have fully populated critic and falsifier facets 4. No-go constraint matrix is published and peer-reviewed 5. Voxel graph is queryable via API 6. At least 3 new convergence edges discovered via cross-modal detection 7. Visual index illustrates all 25 patterns

END OF THE CONVERGENCE ENCYCLOPEDIA — PARTS 6, 7, 8 & APPENDICES A–D

No receipt, no claim. No rival explanation, no load. No falsifier, no science.
