# Taxonomy Impact Log

## July 19, 2026 — Gate 2A activation

**Result:** Taxonomy updated from Version 1.3.2 to Version 1.3.3.

### Canonical changes

- Field is the complete living environment and includes ongoing activity, agency, Wisdom, memory, relationships, work, and play.
- Field remains present as context without requiring continuous visibility or a map.
- Realms and authorized Actors may remain active, contribute, coordinate, respond, and request attention while a Presence is focused elsewhere.
- Background activity remains fully governed by Sources of authority, Permissions, policy, audit, and Records.
- Ki may reflect authorized collective Wisdom but may not disclose private contributions, invent consensus, erase disagreement, or become a surveillance channel.
- A visually dominant Panel remains an overlay within Field/Realm context.
- A Scene has a bounded purpose and is not the Field or merely a larger Panel; Portal return continuity is explicit.

### Explicitly not canonized

- Atlas
- Focus
- Pulse
- Lens
- Stage
- one-center shell
- Contribution Envelope
- Attention Thread
- Living Archive governance pattern
- Scene necessity test

### Affected documents

- `references/canonical-taxonomy-v1.3.3.md`
- `DECISION_LOG.md`
- `OPEN_DECISIONS.md`
- `CONTRADICTION_REGISTER.md`
- `SOURCE_REGISTER.md`
- `GATE_2A_EVIDENCE_LEDGER.md`

### Provenance

- Complete Canonical Taxonomy Version 1.3.2.
- Owner's Gate 2 commentary and activation instruction.
- Gate 0 and Gate 1 accepted decisions, used only to preserve the canon/design boundary.

Every later design turn must append either a versioned taxonomy update or a dated “no taxonomy change” entry.

## July 19, 2026 — Gate 2B.1 primary scenes

**Result:** No taxonomy change.

The three primary scenes apply the accepted Gate 1 shell and Gate 2A Realm contracts to fictional, review-only interactions. They introduce no new canonical object, relationship, authority, or lifecycle decision.

The following remain non-canonical design language:

- Focus;
- Attention Thread;
- Contribution Envelope;
- Lens;
- Stage;
- Portal return presentation; and
- one-center shell.

## July 19, 2026 — Preliminary engineering-planning handoff and Design Lab consolidation

**Result:** No taxonomy change.

Packaging the five Outside the Studio journeys, the accepted Gate 1 experiment, and the Gate 2B.1 primary-scene experiment creates no new canonical object, relationship, authority, or lifecycle. “Outside the Studio,” “Inside the Studio,” “Presence Story,” and the Design Lab menus are review-presentation labels only. The handoff preserves all existing canonical/proposal boundaries and does not begin Gate 2B.2.
