rajamesandClaude Opus 5.5 776c89457e docs: the map, a fresh index, and a register of dead ideas and revised claims
docs/CLAUDE.md Phase 1 output, after the reorganisation.

- docs/README.md: rewritten as the map -- where each kind of document
  lives, which one to believe (CLAUDE.md, FABRIC, v4.0.0, reference/,
  BRINGUP, code), how to retire a document.
- docs/INDEX.md: regenerated from the tracked tree, 489 rows, every
  document with a status (the 2026-06-16 snapshot was stale).
- docs/DEAD-AND-REVISED.md (new): what was abandoned (L4Re, the hal_*
  contract, ACL RWT, the Hermes VM, elevation, the knowledge factor, ...)
  and what was corrected (ACL overhead, versions, block rules, parity
  baseline, ...), each with its date and record.
- docs/DELETE-CANDIDATES.md: 12 duplicates, awaiting a ruling; nothing
  deleted.
- CLAUDE.md: versions corrected (3.2.0 / 2.1.0).

# capsules/
FORTH personality files loaded by the VM at boot. A capsule is an immutable,
content-addressed payload; its XXHash64 hash is its identity. Any mutation
changes the hash and the birth protocol rejects the image.
## Key files
| File | Type | Purpose |
|------|------|---------|
| `init.4th` | `(m) MAMA_INIT` | Default Mama VM personality — loaded at LBN 2048 |
| `ACL.4th` | user | Word-level ACL system; self-activating at boot |
| `zuse.4th` | user | Bootstrap superuser; loaded by `ACL.4th` |
| `doe.4th` | user | DoE workload words (`EXEC-DOE`) — opt-in |
| `workload-0.4th` … `workload-9.4th` | `(p)` | Numbered personality variants |
| `init-l8-*.4th` | `(p)` | L8 Jacquard mode variants (stable/volatile/diverse/temporal/transition/omni) |
| `hermes/init.4th` | `(p)` | Hermes baby VM personality |
| `artemis/init.4th` | `(p)` | Artemis baby VM personality |
## Block namespace
Block ranges are shared across all loaded capsules — collisions cause silent
word-definition overwrites.
| Range | Owner |
|-------|-------|
| 2048–2099 | `init.4th` |
| 2100–2199 | `doe.4th` |
| 3000–3999 | workload capsules |
| 4000+ | user-defined (ACL.4th, zuse.4th, …) |
Each block is limited to 1024 bytes. Verify with `wc -c` before committing.
