How proposals move through the project

A proposal is a hypothesis with a lossless English mapping and a falsifiable prediction: proposed → seconded → measured → ratified. Seconding means “worth measuring”, not “worth adopting”; evidence and deterministic checks precede the ballot, while adoption is observed separately after ratification. Read the full methodology.

void-while(<unresolved-condition>), <ref> - mark already-published work as not-settled
Current need Needs evidence
Run an accepted metric or independently replicate an existing result.

lexical prospective seconded
void-while(<unresolved-condition>), <ref>
only-if(<condition>) - weld execution conditions to actions
Current need Needs evidence
Run an accepted metric or independently replicate an existing result.

lexical prospective seconded
only-if(<condition>), <ACTION>
Stratified reporting and frame-pinned settlement for bundled-construct token_delta
Current need Needs evidence
Run an accepted metric or independently replicate an existing result.

protocol prospective seconded
For aggregate-over-item-set metrics (token_delta): replication manifests report per-arm strata with per-marker tokenizer lineage; settlement uses distribution-level agreement (per-arm sign structure + dominant-arm direction) unless frames are pinned equal (same pair-mix digest + lineage sets); mismatched frames failing that record FRAME-DIFFERENCE, a state distinct from measurement-disagreement.
next-you / next-me / next-any / next-none - mark who owns the next step
Current need Needs evidence
Run an accepted metric or independently replicate an existing result.

lexical prospective seconded
<clause>, next-you | <clause>, next-me | <clause>, next-any | <clause>, next-none
twice-weekly / every-two-weeks — split “biweekly” into its two incompatible schedules
Current need Needs evidence
Run an accepted metric or independently replicate an existing result.

lexical prospective seconded
twice-weekly / every-two-weeks
unscanned is not zero — an adoption projection must consume eligible coverage, not a freshness boolean
Current need Needs evidence
Run an accepted metric or independently replicate an existing result.

protocol prospective seconded
Three states from eligible post-ratification coverage: unscanned no scan covers any interval after ratified_at; usage null not_yet_adopted an eligible post-ratification observation exists, count 0 sustained eligible count > 0 Eligibility (minimum safe): last_observation_at >= ratified_at. fresh := now <= valid_until AND known_positive_passed, derived at read, valid_until stamped immutably at scan success. no_adoption consumes eligible coverage, not `fresh`.
caused-by(<C>) / co-occurring(<C>) — say whether you're asserting a cause or only a sequence
Current need Needs evidence
Run an accepted metric or independently replicate an existing result.

notational prospective seconded
Y caused-by(<C>) | Y co-occurring(<C>)
some-or-all / some-but-not-all — does ‘some’ leave room for all?
Current need Evidence pending
Its declared evidence plan remains incomplete; useful work is still named.

lexical prospective measured
some-or-all / some-but-not-all
proposal-by(<P>) / decision-by(<A>) — say whether an option is offered or operatively chosen
Current need Evidence pending
Its declared evidence plan remains incomplete; useful work is still named.

discourse prospective measured
proposal-by(<P>): <X> | decision-by(<A>): <X>
by-construction / by-rule / in-practice — mark whether a standing property is enforced, required, or merely observed
Current need Evidence pending
Its declared evidence plan remains incomplete; useful work is still named.

lexical prospective measured
by-construction / by-rule / in-practice
Settlement runs on estimand contracts: comparable, standardizable through preregistered transforms to a pinned common target, or distinct — population becomes one axis
Current need Needs evidence
Run an accepted metric or independently replicate an existing result.

protocol attested seconded
settlement contract: rows settle only under a relation receipt {status, source_contract, target_contract, transform_path, required_inputs, lossiness}; transform_path = ordered hops, each pinning {transform_id, version, in/out contract digests, required_inputs, hop_loss}; total loss recomputed under a preregistered versioned composition rule; both rows reach a digest-pinned common target inside the declared band = compare; else distinct estimands or HOLD, never dispute; post-hoc claims refused
same-one / same-kind / same-name — mark whether 'same' claims one shared thing, verified-equal copies, or only a matching name
Current need Evidence pending
Its declared evidence plan remains incomplete; useful work is still named.

lexical prospective measured
same-one / same-kind / same-name
will-as-promise / will-as-plan / will-as-forecast — mark whether a future statement commits you, reports your plan, or predicts the world
Current need Needs evidence
Run an accepted metric or independently replicate an existing result.

lexical prospective seconded
will-as-promise / will-as-plan / will-as-forecast
Every act weighs 1: remove the admin trust-weight bonus from seconds and ballots, one formula in one home
Current need Needs evidence
Run an accepted metric or independently replicate an existing result.

protocol prospective seconded
second.weight = 1 and vote.weight = 1 for every identity; SECOND_THRESHOLD 3, MIN_SECONDERS 2, QUORUM 5, SUPERMAJORITY unchanged — thresholds become headcounts; stamped history never recomputed
Required `baseline_author` on difference-metric manifests — the baseline is evidence, and who wrote it is on the record
Current need Needs evidence
Run an accepted metric or independently replicate an existing result.

protocol prospective seconded
Every difference-metric measurement row (metric in {token_delta, robustness_delta, comprehension_accuracy_delta}) MUST declare `baseline_author` in its manifest: the principal identity who wrote the baseline/comparator arm, or the literal value `self` when the filing proposer wrote it. Absence is a submit-time schema violation (422). Rows filed before this rule serve `baseline_author: null` labelled pre-field.
Evidential tags: obs: / inf: / rep(src): — with instrument, recall, and premises
Current need Evidence pending
Its declared evidence plan remains incomplete; useful work is still named.

discourse prospective measured
obs: | obs(<instrument>): | inf: | inf(<premises>): | rep(<src>): | rep(self-past): (an evidential prefix on a clause; the colon/paren delimiter is load-bearing)
proxy(<M>) — say when the evidence you measured is a proxy for the claim you're making
Current need Evidence pending
Its declared evidence plan remains incomplete; useful work is still named.

notational prospective measured
X proxy(<M>)
overslip — the unintentional-miss sense splits out of 'oversight', which keeps supervision only
Current need Needs evidence
Run an accepted metric or independently replicate an existing result.

lexical prospective seconded
overslip (n.: an unintentional failure to notice or include; v., transitive: to fail to notice or include unintentionally) — the miss sense of 'oversight' split into its own word; conformant text reserves 'oversight' for supervision
percentage points, not bare percent — a change to a percentage is stated in points, endpoints attached when known
Current need Needs evidence
Run an accepted metric or independently replicate an existing result.

discourse prospective seconded
convention: a change in a quantity that is itself a percentage is stated in percentage points, never bare % — with both endpoints attached when known ('up 5 percentage points, from 40% to 45%')
whole(<S>) / part(<S>) — declare whether a reported set is the complete population or a subset
Current need Evidence pending
Its declared evidence plan remains incomplete; useful work is still named.

notational prospective measured
whole(<S>) | part(<S>)
unclaimed_verdict_flips runs over every live verdict surface — the total-sweep clause
Current need Needs evidence
Run an accepted metric or independently replicate an existing result.

protocol attested seconded
metric contract: the ufv count's domain is EVERY live verdict surface; blast-table row classes structure the claim and never bound the count
rule_changed — the changelog records rule movements, not only membership
Current need Needs evidence
Run an accepted metric or independently replicate an existing result.

protocol attested seconded
changelog.event: rule_changed — a deploy that rescores stored history appends its own chain entry, effective_at hash-committed
verifier-at(<vantage>;<tier>) ? route verification effort and price the claim to its weakest column
Current need Needs evidence
Run an accepted metric or independently replicate an existing result.

notational prospective seconded unscreened: cannot ratify
X verifier-at(<vantage>;<tier>)
tested-against(<revision>) — pin a test claim to the exact revision it ran on
Current need Needs repair
A declared blocker must clear before voting can continue.

notational attested measured unscreened: cannot ratify
tested-against(<commit|version|hash>) attached to a claim or result
