Research / Consolidation

Survive. Merge.
Archive. Reject.

The research archive is intentionally large. The canonical layer is intentionally small. This protocol keeps both true: every document remains traceable, but only the work that survives evidence, comparison, and release gates becomes public positioning.

Model

Five layers

01

Raw Corpus

Everything found in the workspace: notes, papers, PDFs, reports, handoffs, failed plans, and partial drafts.

Admission

A document enters when it contains enough research signal to be searchable, even if it is redundant or wrong.

Exit

It stays as historical material, but it must be promoted, merged, archived, or rejected before being shown as canonical work.

02

Workbench

Candidate material being reconstructed into paper skeletons, experiment packets, or implementation dossiers.

Admission

A corpus item enters when it intersects with a canonical shelf, carries a concrete method, or contains evidence that can be replayed.

Exit

It exits when a curator assigns a decision: canonical, merge, archive, reject, or experiment.

03

Canonical Shelf

The small public set of research lanes that explain your expertise without overwhelming the reader.

Admission

A work enters only when it has a stable claim, source anchors, related works, proof state, and a named release gate.

Exit

It remains editable until the release dossier freezes the PDF, references, figures, and evidence manifest.

04

Experiment Packet

The bridge between absorption and proof: a concrete comparison against the current internal system.

Admission

Every ABSORB or TEST verdict must become an experiment packet before it changes a canonical claim.

Exit

It exits as supports, challenges, replaces, no-effect, or inconclusive, with commands and evidence attached.

05

Release Dossier

The frozen package for a paper that is ready to submit or cite.

Admission

A paper enters only after source, PDF, figures, references, evidence, limitations, and reproduction commands are aligned.

Exit

It exits as released, withdrawn, or superseded. The dossier remains public as the record.

Canonical

This is part of the current public theory or system map.

Use when

The work has a stable claim, mapped sources, evidence checkpoints, and a clear relationship to one shelf.

Public treatment

Shown on the main research page and linked to a reader, PDF, schema, and release gate.

Merge

This contains useful material, but it should not survive as a separate paper.

Use when

The idea duplicates another manuscript, is a section rather than a paper, or was superseded by a stronger formulation.

Public treatment

Hidden from the front door but linked as source material inside the canonical paper workspace.

Archive

This is historically useful but no longer represents the current system.

Use when

The implementation changed, the claim became stale, or the document explains how the architecture evolved.

Public treatment

Kept in the corpus with a historical label. It should not appear as current expertise.

Reject

This should not be used as evidence or public positioning.

Use when

The implementation failed, the metric was invalid, the claim was wrong, or the data cannot support it.

Public treatment

Retained only as an internal negative result or failure note, never as a paper card.

Experiment

This is not a paper yet. It is a question with a proposed test.

Use when

An absorbed external paper or internal idea could change a claim, but needs a head-to-head comparison first.

Public treatment

Shown as an experiment packet only after the baseline, command, evidence, and outcome fields exist.

Canonical shelves

Current expertise map

Low-Resource Speech and Script Infrastructure

N'Ko, Manding speech, script-native ASR, phonemic evaluation, acoustic governance

Strongest body of work. Offline script-native ASR and paper set exist; stable live iPhone recognition remains the boundary.

Freeze the canonical paper set into flagship, script invisibility, script-native ASR, phonemic evaluation, FAC, and governed deployment lanes.

Governed Agents and Provenance

Graph Kernel, admissible context, trajectory reward, typed skills, autonomous agent accounting

Multiple running systems and paper drafts exist. The remaining consolidation task is to align Graph Kernel, KARL, TML, and typed skills into one provenance program.

Turn the agent papers into one chain: admissible context, trajectory accounting, reward selection, typed composition, and self-improvement.

Embodied Trajectory Systems

Anticipation Geometry, computational choreography, multimodal sensor fusion, motion generation, Lume

Architecture and implementation evidence are substantial; release claims need tighter evaluation snapshots and physical run references.

Separate the theory paper, the Lume production architecture, and the physical-capture evaluation papers so MotionMix evidence maps cleanly into the research.

Research Operations and Absorption

Daily paper ingestion, paper schemas, public research archive, experiment routing, canonical consolidation

The public archive, PDF archive, corpus, schema page, and absorption log exist. Automation health now needs to be visible and the backlog needs Codex-run experiment packets.

Convert every ABSORB or TEST verdict into a named experiment packet mapped to one canonical shelf and one current internal baseline.

Release

Before anything is called final

01

Claim Freeze

The central claim is one sentence and names what would falsify it.

02

Source Freeze

The canonical LaTeX or Markdown source is known and the rendered PDF is generated from it.

03

Evidence Manifest

Every result cites a run ID, dataset, packet, commit, report, or external paper reference.

04

Comparison

External baselines and absorbed papers are mapped to specific sections, not dumped into related work.

05

Negative Results

Failed implementations and invalid paths are named so future agents do not resurrect them as fresh ideas.

06

Render and Link Check

The PDF, HTML reader, tables, algorithms, figures, and references render correctly on the public site.
