This repository is the canonical general standards authority for the
Hyperpolymath estate. Read 0-AI-MANIFEST.a2ml, README.adoc,
0-canon/constitution/README.adoc, and .machine_readable/REGISTRY.a2ml in
that order before changing normative material.
Constitutional, normative, profile, local-policy, guidance, template, implementation, generated, and historical material are distinct authority classes. A proposal is not authorised policy until the applicable change procedure is completed. Evidence records what currently holds; it does not gain authority merely by being generated or machine-readable.
Canonical sources include 0-canon/constitution/, domain standard sources,
profile sources, and the registry source consumed by
scripts/build-registry.sh. .machine_readable/REGISTRY.a2ml and
TOPOLOGY.adoc are generated: never edit them directly. Preserve
licences, coined names, MAA’s independent authority, and current
language/build conventions. Do not add TypeScript or Deno, weaken
validation, or describe draft/tested work as proven.
Run the relevant just/must targets, registry and topology
generators/checks, A2ML/Nickel/K9 validation where applicable,
link/canonical-name checks, and git diff --check. Regenerate twice
and require a clean second pass for generated outputs.
