Archived Releases

Archive Policy

The archive preserves public releases after they have been superseded. It is a provenance surface, not a competing canon. Active readers should cite the current Second Edition books unless they are explicitly discussing the program’s publication history.

Archived releases keep enough context to make comparison possible: edition date, structural counts, availability notes, and a route back to the current canonical replacement.

Available Archives

First Edition

The First Edition appeared in December 2025. It remains available as a historical public release and documents an earlier state of the seven-book program before the current Coherence Kernel consolidation and full v2 verification posture.

Archived White Papers

Pre-canon white papers are preserved as superseded provenance records after the Anchor Document Canon took over the public route for first-time readers, journalists, reviewers, and citation.

What Changes Across Editions

Edition changes are not hidden in the archive. When a release is superseded, the archive should say so plainly and point to the current home. The First Edition archive records the historical release, while the current books remain the active canon.

Citation Guidance

Use the current edition for active research, review, and citation. Use the archive for historical comparison, provenance checks, and development-trace questions.
