Contracts

Form specifications — thin compliance rules with RFC 2119 keywords.

• [[Aspiration Form Contract]] -- A directional target the project works toward, carrying its acknowledged Gap, current Work, and Progress-Recognition markers
• [[Contract Form Contract]] -- The meta-contract: how a Contract node in this project is named, structured, declares inheritance, and conforms to itself
• [[Conviction Form Contract]] -- A held normative stance the project asks contributors to share, carrying Why-It-Is-Held and Drift Recognition sections
• [[Decision Form Contract]] -- A committed choice with Why, Alternatives Considered, and What Would Change It; situational rather than standing
• [[Gloss Form Contract]] -- An interpretive definition whose filename carries the working definition, usable from the filesystem without opening the file
• [[Inquiry Form Contract]] -- A thesis-driven investigation node carrying a research question, current state, and open questions, with predicate vocabulary deferred to practice
• [[Markdown Node Contract]] -- The base file-form every node inherits: encoding, filename rules, YAML scope, identity predicate block above the H1, Relations section, and named-edge syntax
• [[Observation Form Contract]] -- A descriptive claim with matched epistemic grounds (Empirical, Retrospective, Contested, On-Faith) and the conditions that would revise it
• [[Pattern Form Contract]] -- A recurring craft move named from practice, with Heart at card scale, Problem, Forces, Solution, and Consequences
• [[Predicate Form Contract]] -- A typed-edge definition with Carries, Crescent-per-adjacent-predicate, and Typing sections; a specialization of Gloss for predicate names
• [[Reference Form Contract]] -- An external source pointer with an Adopted / Not adopted (yet) split and publication metadata; cite-by-wikilink rather than cite-by-URL
• [[Skill Form Contract]] -- An agent-invocable workflow as a compound-node graph node, carrying a runtime-invocation name, an Anthropic-spec description, and numbered steps
