# Gate 2A Evidence and Proposal Ledger

This ledger separates what Gate 2A must inherit from what it may propose. Source abbreviations:

- **T133** — Canonical Taxonomy Version 1.3.3.
- **DL** — accepted `DECISION_LOG.md` entries.
- **OD** — Gate 2 owner direction.
- **DB** — Dragoon Base concept paper.

## 1. Canonical inherited requirements

| ID | Requirement | Source | Consequence for Gate 2A |
|---|---|---|---|
| IR-001 | The Field is the complete living environment and remains context even when not continuously visible. | T133 §1 | No Realm contract may equate Field with a map or optional mode. |
| IR-002 | Studio is the primary desktop/laptop Surface into the Field. | T133 §2.1 | Gate 2B briefs target Studio but define no production layout. |
| IR-003 | A Realm is semantic and agentic before visual; it may contain other Realms and remain active. | T133 §3 | Model structure, authority, and behavior before Scenes or screens. |
| IR-004 | Ki is one coherent Ally whose available Wisdom and authority vary by Presence, Realm, Role, and privacy. | T133 §5.1 | Do not create unrelated personal-assistant characters or expose private Ki relationships. |
| IR-005 | Every other Agent is an Actor and every Agent acts from a Source of authority. | T133 §5 | Every Realm action names Actor, represented Presence/Realm, and authority Source. |
| IR-006 | Wisdom, Stance, Abilities, Automations, and Connections are distinct capability layers. | T133 §6 | Each contract answers all five independently. |
| IR-007 | Panels overlay context; visual dominance does not alter authority or containment. | T133 §8 | A dominant conversation can remain inside the Field without showing a map. |
| IR-008 | A Scene is bounded and entered through a Portal; identity, authority, privacy, and return continuity still apply. | T133 §9 | Scene briefs require a reason, Portal, continuity, and exit behavior. |
| IR-009 | Actions are typed, authorized, deterministic in execution, auditable, and event-producing. | T133 §11 | Recommendations are not execution; every consequential change has a Gate and Record. |
| IR-010 | Roles never imply unrestricted access; there is no universal superuser. | T133 §§12–14 | Clinicians, leaders, Wizards, sponsors, and archivists receive only explicit access. |
| IR-011 | Trust is contextual and purpose-specific, not a permanent score. | T133 §15 | No global member, contributor, or source trust score. |
| IR-012 | Governance and Treasury authority belong to Realms and follow their valid policies and signers. | T133 §§17–19 | Do not import confidential proposed governance or economics as defaults. |

## 2. Accepted design decisions

| ID | Decision | Source | Consequence |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD-001 | One active Realm, one current Focus, one dominant surface. | DL D-002 | Every written storyboard preserves this hierarchy. |
| AD-002 | Elements appear contextually and recede when complete. | DL D-004 | Realm contracts identify instruments but do not make them permanent modules. |
| AD-003 | One shell can move from conversation to instrument to Stage without permanent multi-panel chrome. | DL D-007 | Gate 2B will reuse the behavior, subject to Realm-specific proof. |
| AD-004 | Espresso-black, warm cream, blue action, restrained semantic accents, and stable natural geometry guide later visuals. | DL D-005–006 | Scene briefs may name hierarchy, not production styling. |

## 3. Owner direction for this gate

| ID | Direction | Consequence |
|---|---|---|
| OD-001 | The Field may be visually absent while activity and larger context remain understandable. | Define quiet cross-Realm attention rather than a persistent map. |
| OD-002 | Kiduna is about collective agency, not project management, communications, CMS, or web navigation. | Measure Realm behavior by contributions, relationships, ongoing work, and legitimate response. |
| OD-003 | Inner Clinic is a Bihome research/health Alliance with Communities and participating Institutions. | Replace appointment scheduling with research, contribution, patient understanding, and clinical trust. |
| OD-004 | The Nature of Work is an Organization with a deep OD/transformation Program. | Center coaching and collective learning without surveillance. |
| OD-005 | The 2nd Cavalry example is a durable history/service/connection system. | Palo Alto becomes one Project or Scene; oral history, 73 Easting, service, and health connections persist. |
| OD-006 | Substantive trust failures matter more than calendar/invitation exceptions. | Exceptions test evidence, consent, authority, privacy, contested truth, and safe escalation. |

## 4. Source-backed domain evidence

| ID | Evidence | Source | Confidence / boundary |
|---|---|---|---|
| EV-001 | Decker's Blueprint publicly describes DMD awareness, fundraising, research, and family-resource purposes. | WEB | Current official-site evidence; no verified Inner Clinic relationship. |
| EV-002 | IBC-IC publicly describes collaboration among IBC researchers and clinicians and provides research/center information. | WEB | Current official-site evidence; no verified Inner Clinic relationship. |
| EV-003 | Gallbladder Cancer Foundation publicly describes patient/caregiver support and research fundraising. | WEB | Current official-site evidence; no verified Inner Clinic relationship. |
| EV-004 | HHS guidance supports purpose-bounded, minimum-necessary handling in contexts where the rule applies and identifies exceptions. | WEB | Authoritative U.S. guidance; not a complete legal/compliance determination for Inner Clinic. |
| EV-005 | Dragoon Base archive evidence reports 4,377 profiles, 14,567 photographs, 126 videos, and 68+ groups in a March 17, 2026 archive. | DB pp. 3, 15 | Concept-paper claim; conflicts with SA-MR public count. |
| EV-006 | The community's observed organization follows History, Service, and Connection and includes place/unit groups, memorials, benefits information, gatherings, and member-created history. | DB pp. 3–12 | Strong use-case evidence; source remains a proposal. |
| EV-007 | The existing environment relies on Ning, Salesforce, email tools, and external meeting systems, with volunteer maintenance burden and migration risk. | DB pp. 4–5, 11; SA-MR pp. 2, 8–9 | Corroborated domain evidence; exact current state still requires audit. |
| EV-008 | The Library of Congress VHP uses release forms, interviewer forms, logs, media standards, and descriptive records for veteran oral histories. | WEB | Authoritative model, not a mandated Kiduna workflow. |
| EV-009 | VA distinguishes Gulf War illness / chronic multisymptom illness from a single settled “syndrome” and links information to research, benefits, and clinical evaluation. | WEB | Current authoritative health/benefits context; no personalized diagnosis. |
| EV-010 | The market report argues that veteran associations differ structurally and that outcomes, trust, identity, hybrid governance, and volunteer capacity matter more than forum features. | SA-MR pp. 1–2, 9–13 | Useful synthesis; estimates and GTM claims vary in confidence. |
| EV-011 | The SADUNA backbrief proposes three distinct legal entities and detailed identity, governance, Treasury, founder, and product structures. | SA-C pp. 1–8 | Confidential proposal requiring legal and owner confirmation. |

## 5. Working proposals

| ID | Proposal | Confidence | Test / owner decision needed |
|---|---|---|---|
| WP-001 | **Attention Thread:** at most one quiet cross-Realm signal appears when another Realm has a material, authorized reason to interrupt. | Medium | Test whether users understand broader activity without a notification center. |
| WP-002 | **Contribution Envelope:** every contribution carries Source, scope, visibility, authority, provenance, retention, and correction metadata. | High | Validate across all three Realm contracts and later Element grammar. |
| WP-003 | **Collective Reflection:** Ki can report themes only from contributions explicitly eligible for synthesis, with minority/uncertain views preserved. | Medium | Validate with OD participants and privacy policy. |
| WP-004 | **Scene necessity test:** use a Scene only when spatial, temporal, simulated, performative, or embodied interaction changes understanding or participation. | High | Apply to gallbladder and 2nd Cavalry examples; reject decorative Scenes. |
| WP-005 | **Living Archive governance:** original testimony remains attributable and immutable; interpretations and corrections layer around it. | Medium-high | Validate with archive custodians and contributor agreements. |
| WP-006 | **Dominant conversational surface** remains the neutral Gate 2 term until Chat/Work/another label is selected. | High | Test in Gate 2B; do not add to canon yet. |

## 6. Contradictions and missing evidence

The authoritative list is `CONTRADICTION_REGISTER.md`. Gate 2A is particularly constrained by C-001 through C-019: population-count conflicts, archive rights, SADUNA status, entity relationships, legacy terminology, surveillance risk, medical governance, institutional participation, Program/Record semantics, historical reconstruction, and confidentiality.
