Alignment Constraint Framework — Master Manifest

This is the control document for the archive build. Every artifact in the framework is listed with its authoritative source, its destination path in the GitHub archive, its publication status, its intended audience, and which object is canonical for citation.

Source-of-truth hierarchy (agreed):

  1. Published Medium text — final authority for wording and navigation on published articles
  2. Local REVISED Markdown files — clean base for the machine-readable archive (tables already in Markdown, not images)
  3. Medium pages — used only to detect final edits, not as extraction source
  4. GitHub simulations (bethediamond.github.io) — canonical for toys; do not migrate
  5. OSF pages — canonical for public experiment records
  6. Uploaded .docx/.md handoffs — source of truth for unpublished specialist material

Legend — Status: published (live on Medium) · forthcoming (written, not yet on Medium) · draft-gated (not ready to file/cite; behind gateway) · external-live (already public at its own URL) Legend — Tier: T1 public · T2 core/field-facing · T3 series · T4 empirical · T5 specialist-handoff


Tier 1 — Public summaries (top of funnel)

Title Source file Medium URL GitHub path Status Audience
Redefining Rationality export from Medium /redefining-rationality-cab469cc5b6c public/redefining-rationality.md published general / origin
The AI Race Is Not Rational export from Medium /the-ai-race-is-not-rational-9a83d6d0940c public/ai-race-is-not-rational.md published general (summarizes S1–3)
We’re Winning the Wrong Race export from Medium /were-winning-the-wrong-race-9ef38b061cfa public/winning-the-wrong-race.md published general (summarizes S1–2)
The OP4d Counterexample Challenge export from Medium /the-op4d-counterexample-challenge-bc8d9cc5d8e7 public/op4d-counterexample-challenge.md published technical critics

These four have no local Markdown. Export from Medium during build. They are the primary doorways — place in /public/, not buried in /core/.

Note: The DRG document reports a preregistered criterion that was not met (CI excluded zero in only 1 of 3 models). This honestly-reported null is a credibility asset — label it “prospective design; prior null reported,” not “result.”


Tier 5 — Specialist handoff (behind gateway; crawlable, not promoted)

All Tier 5 documents self-label “Stage 4 / LLM ceiling / nothing herein should be cited as proven.” The gateway page must frame this as epistemic discipline before a reader reaches any raw handoff.

Build sequence (unchanged from agreed plan)

  1. This manifest ← done
  2. Convert 4 .docx handoffs → Markdown
  3. Draft framing pages (homepage, gateway, llms.txt, for-researchers)
  4. Reconcile local Markdown against Medium (edit pass), add archive headers + relative nav
  5. Assemble repo, enable Pages, custom domain, robots.txt, sitemaps, CITATION.cff, /cite/
  6. OSF preprint (cites the 3 live OSF records) → Zenodo DOI
  7. arXiv narrow note (endorser if needed)
  8. Outreach: 3-link packet
