Scope

Documentation only, additive. One section added to README.md immediately after the core invariant. Nothing removed or reworded.

  • README.md — 12 insertions, 0 deletions

Why

RAED reads as a standalone memory substrate, which is accurate but leaves it unplaced. Its core invariant is in fact a field-level rule:

machine state does not gain truth, authority, scope, currentness, or admissibility merely because it was stored, copied, summarized, replayed, or transmitted

That is a non-collapse rule of Open Institutional Computation, and the added section names it as one — while stating plainly that RAED preserves the distinction rather than establishing institutional authority, interpreting governing sources, or performing admission.

Census classification: B — SUPPORTING. Category positioning appears in this README ("It is the layer that gives persistent semantic state a stable identity…"), so the thesis link and role block apply; nothing in the existing positioning conflicts with the thesis.

What is explicitly preserved

  • The product sentence and the neutral scale target (100,000 agents / 1,000,000 relationships)
  • The core invariant, verbatim
  • "RAED is not a vector database, a truth engine, an agent framework, a policy engine, or a language model."
  • CLAIMS.md, LIMITATIONS.md, CONFORMANCE.md, DESIGN-TARGETS.md, BENCHMARKS.md, THREAT-MODEL.md — all untouched, and the added block defers to them by name

Claim impact

None. No benchmark figure, conformance statement, design target or claim ceiling was touched, and the added text is restrictive in effect. No adoption is asserted for any party.

No runtime change

No Go code, schema or fixture was changed. The diff touches one Markdown file.

Validation

Ran this repository's own CI gates locally with Go 1.24.7:

Gate Result
gofmt -l ./cmd ./raed ./simulator empty — clean
go vet ./... clean
go test ./... ok github.com/veraxis-protocol/RAED/raed, ok .../simulator, no test files in cmd/raed

Controlling thesis

veraxis-protocol/institutional-continuity#2 — Veraxis Category Thesis v1.0. Canonical location after merge: https://github.com/veraxis-protocol/institutional-continuity/blob/main/THESIS.md


Generated by Claude Code

Add the standard category role block after the core invariant, and name that
invariant for what it is: a non-collapse rule of Open Institutional
Computation. Storage, copying, summarization, replay and transmission are not
sources of truth, authority, scope, currentness or admissibility.

RAED preserves the distinction. It does not establish institutional authority,
interpret governing sources, or perform institutional admission.

Documentation only, additive. No Go code, schema, benchmark, claim or
conformance statement changed.
