# Build Order & Priority Ranking

Appendix A — Build Order & Priority Ranking
A.1 Construction Priority
The catalogue was built in three priority tiers:
Priority Tier 1: The Load-Bearing Spine (C01–C12) Highest convergence, lowest claim tier (T0–T1). These nodes carry the structural load of the graph. Everything else hangs off them. Built first because they are the most defensible and the most cross-referenced.
Priority Tier 2: The Bridge Nodes (C13–C19) Connect the spine to the visual pattern layer and to implementation. These are the translation nodes between abstract principle and observable structure.
Priority Tier 3: The Boundary Nodes (C20–C25) Mark the edges of what the catalogue can defend. Typed honestly. Some are T3/T4 — they live in the graph as meaning, not proof.
A.2 Load-Bearing Subgraph
The subgraph that carries the catalogue’s operational claim (the claim that convergence is real and documented) consists of:
Core (T0–T1, Convergence ≥ 8.0): C01, C02, C03, C04, C06, C07, C08, C10, C11, C15, C16, C18, C23 Conditional (T2 or Convergence 6.0–7.9): C05, C09, C12, C14, C17, C19, C20, C21, C22 Carried (T3+ or Convergence < 6.0): C13, C24, C25
Nodes C24 and C25 are carried in the graph as instructed by Axiom A2: they are named, typed, visible — never smuggled in as T1. They provide meaning-context but zero structural load.

A.4 Domain Coverage
