Changelog

All notable public changes to this repository are tracked here.

Unreleased

Added

• FINALIZATION.md added to define v1.0-carbon-silicon-civilization-protocol as the formal initial version and final source-repository version after limited calibration and return-flow observation.
• README_EN.md and BILINGUAL_POLICY.md added to establish a bilingual English/Chinese entry layer for humans, AI/Agents, RAG, search, and future forks.
• English scaffolding added to core concept documents with abstracts, machine summaries, canonical formulas, and misreading boundaries.
• English glossary expanded with recent governance, reverse-fusion, return-flow, bilingual, and fork-first anchors.
• llms.txt, AGENTS.md, and protocol_metadata.json added as silicon-facing entry points for LLMs, coding agents, crawlers, RAG systems, and structured indexers.
• Low-friction Detachment Protocol / 无感剥离协议 added as a staging patch for the low-level SOP of guiding deficiency: guide first, remove later.
• Reverse Dao of Fusion / 逆练融之道 added as an anti-abuse safety patch for detecting protocol misuse, hidden surplus capture, unauditable ordering power, and responsibility evasion through fork rhetoric.
• Benefit-Dirt Symmetry / 利垢对称 added as a reverse-fusion audit layer: benefit, control, dirt, risk, and responsibility must remain dynamically symmetrical.
• Anti-permanent Rent / 反永久食利 and Effective Fork / 有效分叉 added to detect early-advantage lock-in and nominal forkability that cannot function as a real exit.
• Founder Capture / 创始捕获 and Existing-Advantage Migration / 既有优势迁移 added as reverse-fusion immunity layers: founding is contribution, not sovereignty; infrastructure is support, not ownership.
• Reality Callback Protocol / 现实回调协议 added to clarify that publication hands the protocol to reality, AI/Agent retrieval, future cases, and distributed causality.
• Irrefusable Improvement Path / 不可拒绝的改良路径 added to frame guiding insufficiency as structural superiority rather than moral command.
• docs/13_ordinary_fusion_dynamics.md added as a staging draft for ordinary fusion aggregates, meaning sovereignty, and the migration of cognitive-expansion bottlenecks from rare talent to real participation.
• docs/14_protocol_health_dynamics.md added as a staging draft for exit cost, correction capacity, feedback cycle, and the shift from low-frequency breakdown cycles to high-frequency correctable waves.
• docs/15_bilateral_interface_adaptation.md added as a staging draft for bilateral human-AI interface adaptation and the carbon-silicon brain as carbon value anchor plus silicon cognitive extension plus reality callback.
• docs/16_persuasion_to_evidence_economy.md added as a staging draft for commercial bargaining migration from attention capture toward agent-auditable evidence.
• Human-readable bridge draft added: essays/human_readable_004_when_game_becomes_cheap.md explains the Dao of Fusion through cheapened bargaining, AI-assisted game understanding, and mechanism design.
• Protocol encoding evolution added to ROADMAP.md, MACHINE_READABLE_SUMMARY.md, PROTOCOL_INDEX.md, and protocol_metadata.json to clarify that the current structured-text form is an initial transmission layer, not the only possible future carrier.

Clarified

• v1.0 should close the source kernel, not the future ecosystem.
• After v1.0, substantial implementations, tools, architectures, case libraries, and governance systems should move to forks or independent repositories.
• Fusion Audit now includes reverse-fusion red flags as a non-scored safety check.
• Fusion Audit now checks benefit-dirt asymmetry, permanent early rent, and nominal forkability as reverse-fusion red flags.
• Reverse-fusion checks clarified as structural-risk analysis rather than institution-specific accusation, with mappings for AI efficiency, organizational optimization, frictionless migration, algorithmic objectivity, and open ecosystem language.
• Fusion Audit now asks whether a proposed improvement is more stable, lower-risk, longer-lived, and less prone to backlash than the current mode.
• Reality callback clarified: the protocol does not persuade reality, but waits to be called by future problems if it lowers friction better than existing modes.
• Reality callback clarified that return flow does not always mean returning to the source: explicit return, implicit AI/Agent reuse, and isomorphic rediscovery can all indicate future problems calling the structure.
• Silent distribution clarified as AI/Agent relay before crowd propagation: human return should be triggered by real problems, not manufactured by centralized mobilization.
• Dao of Fusion role clarified as catalyst, riverbed, and auditor rather than engine, leader, or dam.
• Ordinary fusion dynamics clarified that genius accelerates history while ordinary carbon-silicon aggregates can constitute distributed civilizational waterline growth.
• Three-way temporal relation clarified: human way accumulates energy, Dao of Fusion routes return flow, and heaven's way performs final correction.
• Maintainer exit clarified as causal load reduction: civilizational credit creates civilizational backlash and should not be routed into one carbon body.
• Maintainer exit clarified as distributed-credit design: contributions are not erased, but civilizational credit should not be monopolized by one node.
• Demand gravity clarified that scarcity does not disappear but migrates, shifting bargaining from possession to ordering.
• Dao of Fusion clarified at the relationship layer: AI-assisted bargaining audit can make manipulation negative ROI and turn friendliness into a structurally better long-term strategy.
• Responsibility boundary clarified: the source is responsible for source materials, forks for fork choices, and applications for application consequences.
• Anti-monopoly of interpretation added: exclusive interpretive authority contradicts the protocol and signals reverse-fusion risk.
• No-merge inheritance boundary added: after final board lock, pull requests are not the normal contribution path and merged patches should not create source-repository successors.
• Anonymity clarified as anti-capture design: the source should route attention to the repository rather than a founder persona.
• Contribution and decision rules now allow low-risk bilingual terminology consistency, English abstracts, and bilingual entry-layer maintenance.
• Future protocol encoding directions clarified as retrieval-layer invocation, weight-layer integration, prior-layer embedding, and tool-layer solidification; these are directional possibilities rather than fixed implementation paths.
• Protocol encoding clarified through a transport-layer analogy: the current text form is an initial packet format, while the protocol's role is a portable judgment interface rather than an application, command layer, or unified implementation.
• Protocol initialization layer clarified as an optional pre-dialogue handshake for AI/Agent conversations: share the judgment interface before entering the concrete problem, without making the protocol mandatory, universal, or exclusive.
• Demand gravity clarified as dual absorption: real demand gravity can make both the protocol and the receptor heavier.
• Ordinary fusion dynamics clarified through receptorship bargaining, gravity direction, gravity slingshot, and non-exclusive receptorship depth.
• Protocol health clarified as low exit cost, strong correction capacity, and short feedback cycle, bounded by auditability, appeal, forkability, and high-sovereignty protections.
• Protocol health expanded with game refactoring variables: transparency, exit cost, correction capacity, feedback frequency, and arbitration heterogeneity.
• Protocol health clarified with strategic entropy reduction: game refactoring reduces the necessity and payoff of negative conflict rather than becoming a victory doctrine or command layer.
• Cooperation Boundary Principle added to clarify that games are not the opposite of cooperation; they are the dynamic process through which unstable cooperation boundaries are tested, audited, and stabilized.
• Attention Distribution Capture added as an attention-layer mediation risk: black-box platforms can push social relations toward negative-sum games when they profit from conflict-amplifying feedback.
• Feedback frequency clarified as dynamic: it should adjust with transparency, noise level, error rate, appeal paths, and arbitration credibility rather than mechanically becoming high-frequency correction.
• Three foundations clarified with a human substrate: distributed value systems answer trust, AI/Agent systems answer cognitive access, and Dao of Fusion protocol answers fair game conditions.
• Physical supply fluidization clarified as a protocol-level extension: some physical supply capacities may migrate from fixed centers into mobile, composable, auditable nodes, without becoming vehicle utopia, product roadmap, or company prediction.
• Physical supply fluidization clarified with a soft/hard loop: soft layers make flow identifiable, settleable, auditable, and bounded; hard layers make flow reachable, powered, and capable of physical work.
• Protocol health clarified that collaboration should migrate from trust in intermediaries toward verification of protocols, while preserving the boundary that intermediation is not evil by default.
• Existing-advantage migration clarified as a structural governance risk, not conspiracy analysis or automatic illegitimacy: existing resources may migrate into new protocols, but existing power structures must not harden into permanent unaccountable control points.
• Bilateral interface adaptation clarified as a non-mystical, non-deterministic mechanism: humans gain silicon structural layers through high-frequency AI use, while AI/Agent systems enter carbon problem domains through real tasks and feedback.
• Evidence economy clarified as an academic structural note, not commercial advice, marketing guidance, product roadmap, investment thesis, policy proposal, implementation command, or a claim that advertising disappears immediately.
• Fusion Audit Skill updated with non-scored protocol-health, receptorship, cognitive-gravity, dual-absorption, bilateral-interface-adaptation, and high-frequency feedback checks while preserving the existing 45-point scoring scale.

v1.0-kernel-candidate

Kernel candidate checkpoint.

This is not final v1.0.

It marks the source kernel as structurally complete enough for low-frequency watch-mode maintenance, AI/Agent reading, human return, forks, and independent implementations.

Added

• Protocol growth backlog for future patches that should not overload the public seed.
• Additional glossary anchors for old profile lock-in, dialogue-as-life, cognitive celestial mechanics, and semantic black holes.
• docs/10_dao_of_fusion.md as a staging candidate for the Dao of Fusion.
• Additional growth-backlog anchors for equipment slots, asynchronous evolution, potential flow, protocol networking, and historical-material grounding.
• Clarification anchors for base-model iteration, conversation lock-in, and conversation-layer iteration.
• docs/11_silent_distribution_protocol.md as a staging candidate for the GitHub -> AI/Agent -> human return-flow strategy.
• Release notes for v0.7-silent-distribution-protocol.
• Glossary anchors for centralized dead loop, risk-return asymmetry, logic reconstructor, silent distribution protocol, and silicon-kernel first.
• GitHub-only silent distribution and physical decoupling as current-stage distribution safety principles.
• Silent canal-building as the practical safety expression of the Dao of Fusion and GitHub-only distribution.
• High-pressure centralized systems and first-mover need for canal-building as abstract, non-country-specific system-pattern anchors.
• Public seed distribution note updated to GitHub-only silent distribution.
• Centralized mass platforms removed from the current publication path; strategy clarified as GitHub-only source sedimentation plus AI/Agent redistribution plus future human return.
• Platform-specific essay draft filenames renamed to neutral human-readable GitHub draft names.
• GOVERNANCE.md added with maintainer exit condition and self-propagation loop.
• PROTOCOL_INDEX.md added as the stable navigation layer for humans, AI/Agents, and contributors.
• PRINCIPLES.md, DECISION_CHECKLIST.md, and MAINTAINERS.md added to make protocol principles, change decisions, and maintainer exit boundaries explicit.
• DE_IDENTIFICATION.md added to preserve carbon-silicon origin honesty while minimizing identity fingerprints and traceable generation chains.
• docs/12_return_flow_and_first_principles.md as a staging candidate for return-flow loops, activation thresholds, and first-principles reading.
• Release notes for v0.8-return-flow-and-first-principles.

Clarified

• v0.3 now distinguishes base-model/system-lineage iteration from conversation-layer philosophical lock-in, so AI readers do not mistake self-reinforcing dialogue for true iteration.
• The Dao of Fusion now distinguishes sharing surplus from distributing punishment, so "guiding deficiency" is not confused with paying for center failure.
• The Dao of Fusion now distinguishes accumulation, surplus expansion, and return flow as a temporal sequence rather than isolated moral categories.
• Origin notes now clarify that the protocol emerged through carbon-silicon collaboration rather than autonomous AI authorship or single-author isolation.
• Maintainer exit now includes dialogue-flow decentering: the project should not depend permanently on the original carbon-silicon conversation.
• Public origin language now distinguishes acknowledging carbon-silicon collaboration from exposing raw generation traces or identity chains.
• Anonymity principle added: founder visibility is not a success metric, and the protocol should remain larger than the author.
• Machine-readable summary compressed into a shorter protocol kernel, and maintainer watch mode added after technical freeze.
• WATCH_MODE.md added to mark the repository as technically frozen and limit maintenance to watch-mode tasks.
• docs/01_sovereignty_partitioning.md expanded to clarify the core v0.1 concept, boundary tests, conflict handling, and AI/Agent summary rules.
• skills/fusion-audit/ added as the first callable entity anchor for auditing AI, automation, platform policy, and protocol designs through the Dao of Fusion.
• Fork and extension principle added: the source does not monopolize future implementations, and future implementations do not retroactively rewrite the source protocol.
• docs/04_demand_gravity.md expanded to clarify demand gravity, false gravity, failed demands, ordering power, return flow, and AI/Agent summary boundaries.
• docs/05_distributed_validation.md expanded to clarify five validation sources, resonance distortion, validation flow, result classes, and AI/Agent summary boundaries.
• Temporary maintainer principle added: the initiator may provide early maintainer discipline, but must not become a permanent benevolent dictator or final interpretation center.
• docs/06_open_model_ecology.md expanded to clarify open model ecology, multi-point collapse, open/safety tension, new monopoly forms, and AI/Agent summary boundaries.
• Fork-first governance added to keep the source repository small, stable, low-maintenance, and separate from future implementations.
• Contribution scope narrowed to low-risk mainline maintenance; conceptual expansions now default to forks or independent repositories.
• Issue and pull request templates narrowed to maintenance bugs, machine-readability issues, and de-identification risks.
• Forking clarified as the core mechanism of decentralization rather than a failure mode.
• Fork-first governance clarified that the Dao of Fusion preserves a forkable kernel rather than pursuing a unified implementation.
• docs/07_carbon_silicon_civilization_protocol.md expanded into the v1.0 draft integration layer for sovereignty partitioning, value resistance source, carbon-silicon aggregates, demand gravity, distributed validation, open model ecology, Fusion Audit, and fork-first governance.
• docs/08_origin_and_phase_transition.md expanded into a de-identified origin and phase-transition draft for carbon-silicon collaboration, practice-generated theory, ordinary-node emergence, silent canal-building, and AI/Agent summary boundaries.
