Canonical Document Registry
The map beneath the story
The registry is where wonder meets orientation. It tells readers which document they have entered, what authority it relies on, what lifecycle it occupies, and which path leads onward. Read it when a story raises a question about status, dependency, or correction; the registry is the map that keeps exploration honest.
Purpose
This registry defines the authoritative identifiers, titles, public locations, status, and dependency relationships of Stygia's public constitutional and technical corpus. It contains no private document identifiers, titles, paths, or dependencies.

| KNOW | Knowledge | Evidence, epistemology, confidence, contradiction, and uncertainty |

Approved Future Corpus
The following identifiers and scopes are reserved. They are not authoritative documents until their files exist and satisfy the registration rules.
| ID | Human Title | Planned Path | Depends On |
|---|---|---|---|
Status Model
Reservedidentifies an approved identifier and scope for a document that has not yet been created.Stubidentifies an existing document with approved scope and incomplete normative content.Draftidentifies substantive content under review.Candidateidentifies content proposed for ratification.Canonicalidentifies an approved and cryptographically published release.Supersededidentifies a document displaced by a newer canonical version without erasing historical provenance.Revokedidentifies material that must no longer be relied upon as authority.
Registration Rules
- Every document shall have one unique canonical identifier.
- One identifier shall resolve to one active path.
- Every registered document shall identify its authority and dependencies.
- A planned document shall remain in the Approved Future Corpus until its file exists.
- File creation shall move the document into the Foundational Corpus and assign an accurate status.
- Relocation shall update this registry in the same change set.
- Superseded or revoked materials shall remain historically discoverable.
- No document becomes canonical until approved by The Architect and published with required provenance.
- The corpus audit shall fail when a registered path is absent, an active identifier is duplicated, or a legacy hierarchy path remains.
Architect-review operating model
- REG-R001: Registry review SHALL reconcile identifier, title, path, status, authority, publication state, and dependency edges against the current source documents.
- REG-R002: A missing, duplicate, moved, private, or stale entry SHALL remain visible and SHALL block the affected lifecycle transition until corrected.
- REG-R003: Registry changes SHALL preserve historical discoverability, generated-state parity, public/private boundaries, and explicit approval evidence.
- REG-R004: This Draft SHALL NOT promote documents, create authority, expose private identifiers, or replace The Architect's approval.
Interpretation cases: Conforming reconciles source and registry; Prohibited treats registration as ratification; Boundary records a reserved identifier; Failure blocks promotion; Loophole hides a stale path; Misuse exposes private records; Care-control protects continuity, privacy, and correction.
