Abstract
This is the operating manual for (Foundational Papers) a living knowledge system—111+ challenge-ready protocols spanning reality, mind, ethics, and futures. Every SID# is a fortified claim, open to audit, dissent, and evolution. Read this as a user guide—then pick up your tools. Every claim inside expects your intervention.
1. Introduction: Knowledge That Refuses to Die
Static knowledge dies on the page. The SE Press registry engineers it as a contested process—each claim armored for battle, each revision documented, each dissent logged as fuel for upgrade.
2. Series Logic: How the Registry Works
Registry Lock: No stealth edits. Every SID# is versioned, warrant-scored, and armored with its own audit trail.
Meta-Framework: Protocols compete—the best claims survive by being stress-tested, not sacred.
Open Engagement: Correction isn’t failure; it’s the registry’s immune response.
3. Sample Registry Table
Warrant Scores (★★★★☆):
★★★★★ = Unbroken under 5+ adversarial challenges
★★★★☆ = Survives 3–4 challenges with minor revisions
★★★☆☆ = Provisional; pending further stress-testing
Scores adjust as challenges accumulate.
4. Domain Overviews: Protocols on the Firing Line
Foundations of Reality: SID#004-CV31’s causality proof has survived 3 challenges (2024–2025). Next strike will trigger a phase shift—or prove its resilience.
Consciousness & Mind: SID#022-VQNT’s qualia framework is one lab discovery away from a required upgrade.
Society & Ethics: SID#050-SNEM and SID#049-JEGE are held open for plural challenge, justice, and dissent.
Futures & Technology: SID#088-DFEC and SID#090-PUTF exemplify corrigibility—future claims are only robust if their critics are heard.
5. Correction, Conflict, and Dissent
Conflict Handling: Collisions (e.g., free will vs. determinism) spark review, open debate, and sometimes new SID#s.
Audit Lineage: Every deprecated protocol remains visible—failures fuel learning.
Dissent Welcome: Critique and correction are progress, not problems.
6. Future Directive: Don’t Just Read—Strike
This registry doesn’t grow in a vacuum. Your critique is its lifeline.
Spot a flaw? Document it.
Have a better answer? Fork the claim.
See a gap? Propose a new SID#.
Silence is failure. Engagement is oxygen. The registry dies without your voice.
7. Compliance & Accountability
MNM v14.6 compliant
Full authorship and challenge logs public
Co-authorship ratio: Human-SI collaborative drafting (70/30)
This document’s own warrant score: ★★★★☆ (Upgrade pending reader engagement)
