# APPENDIX D — Changelog: v3.0 Merge Decisions

Auditable per the document's own standard (IX.2). Every non-trivial editorial decision, declared:

1. **Fifth source integrated: the OIP build.** Grounded through its live public surfaces — the root article, the orientation surface, and the linked spec and ledger endpoints — after direct repository access was unavailable to automated fetching. All *observed* claims in Law VI derive from those surfaces and carry freshness windows per IX.6.

2. **Two axioms added: A₁₁ (Receipt) and A₁₂ (Recursion).** Both extracted from the build, both negation-tested per A₀, both published with the reasons their negations collapse. A₁₁ generalizes the proof artifact into the universal epistemic primitive and yields a new capture diagnostic (Law III). A₁₂ licenses and chains Law IX. Under Class E rules, both ship falsifiers: A₁₁ rides S7, A₁₂ rides S8.

3. **Law VI (Object Grammar) is new.** It generalizes six build mechanisms into doctrine: the object contract and triple identity; the one door; the universal loop (never guess → resolve → read → invoke → prove → repair); the repair doctrine (failures stay attached to fixes — generalized into a theory of institutional memory); the drop (delegation without dependence, welded to D6); and the density law (self-description as anti-capture technology). Each generalization is typed *derivation*; the build's instantiations are typed *observed*.

4. **The Existence Proof is scoped exactly.** Five claims moved from *derivation* to *observed* (cheap receipts; one grammar over heterogeneous capability; provenance in production; bounded delegation with tenancy; automated self-revision). Three claims held *open* with surfaces named (market-scale amortization → S5; hostile-scale adversarial survival → S7; operability beyond the author → young sample). Citing the build above its evidentiary weight would have been the exact declared-success-without-receipts the document defines as capture; the scoping is the airtightness.

5. **Law IX (Amendment Protocol) is new — the self-altering mechanism, chained.** Append-only versioning; mandatory changelogs; typed claims with freshness enforcement; four amendment classes with distinct bars; zero-context review recursion modeled on the build's clarity loop; capture guards including the fork rule and recursion audit. One deliberate reservation: A₄ is excluded from amendment, with the reasoning stated in the book — a floor that can be amended under pressure is a price, not a floor.

6. **Two falsification surfaces added: S7 (object grammar) and S8 (recursion).** Required by Class E rules applied retroactively to the edition's own extensions: new structure must ship its own kill conditions.

7. **Disclosure Doctrine extended with D6 (the drop).** Thread Two's intent — that findings reach the unremedied usably, not just legally — gains its operational test from Tap & Go: disclosure is complete only when a zero-context recipient can run the remedy. D6 is typed *derivation*; its instantiation *observed*.

8. **Method extended: zero-context test and objection ledger.** Both generalized from the build (the zero-context rule; the answered-by-design surface) into Law IV as general instruments — the first as the acceptance criterion for invariant installation, the second as anti-relitigation and anti-exhaustion machinery, with the honesty valve that entries must remain reopenable.

9. **Personal identifiers redacted.** The build's public surfaces expose operational details of its single custodian (contact routes, machine paths, names of private endpoints). None are load-bearing to the philosophy; all are omitted. The document cites the build's public documentation URLs only.

10. **Carried content compressed, not cut.** Books I–V, VII, VIII, and X carry all load-bearing claims of v2.0, tightened per the compression axiom to fund the new material. No claim of v2.0 was dropped; several were re-typed under the new claim system.

11. **Anti-bloat accounting.** v3.0 is roughly half again the length of v2.0. Added load: two axioms, one doctrine clause (D6), two method instruments, one full book of doctrine (VI), one full book of governance (IX), two falsification surfaces, one benchmark condition, a claim-typing system, and the conversion of five claims from prediction to observation. Under IX's Class E bar, the edition judges its added load to exceed its added length — and notes that this judgment is itself reviewable under IX.4, which is the point.

12. **The loop is closed.** The philosophy (Word) specified the method (Way); the method demanded the machine (Work); the machine returned the receipt and the recursion; and the receipt and the recursion now govern the philosophy's own text (Law IX). Word → Way → Work → Word. The document is, as of this version, an instance of what it describes — eligible, like any object, to be entered into a review loop, scored by cold readers, revised with lineage, and forked in the open by anyone its stewards fail.
