First specification of the descriptile format, which has been deployed across the estate (~3,967 files) without ever being specified. Descriptive of the measured population first, normative where that population is self-contradictory. Key findings: - ANCHOR is not a descriptile: 348 of 355 files (98%) live in a separate anchors/ or anchor/ tree. INNERVATION.adoc's own enumeration omits it. Needs its own spec. - Three surface syntaxes coexist, including a near-even 184/172 YAML vs bracketed split within ANCHOR, and both surfaces inside one directory in ephapax. - Estate language policy is restated in four places that disagree; only one (MUST.contractile) is enforced. - The six split 3+3 by deployment; spec follows that as Core/Extended. Composes with INNERVATION.adoc rather than competing: this spec is normative while descriptile files exist; INNERVATION is a migration target, measured here at 11.7% after five months. Five open rulings flagged for the owner, in dependency order. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Measured all six descriptile types estate-wide instead of extrapolating the surface census from ANCHOR and STATE alone. S-expression is a genuine fourth surface: 160 files across 38 repos and 59 directories, in two sub-shapes (31 (define ...), 129 bare (state ...)). The divergence is intra-directory: 42 of those 59 directories hold an s-expression descriptile beside bracketed siblings. Added a normative uniform-directory rule at Level 1. Also counted 25 @-block files outside STATE (non-conformant), 6 empty or comments-only files (fail Level 0), and 9 hybrids. Sixth open ruling added: widen task #18 from 162 .contractile s-expression files to 322 across both families.
