Uses Book.toml as the single source of truth when editing or generating content for the Ignorance Must Take Form book-system. Applies thesis, principle, canonical cell, ghosts, invariants, stack, entrypoints, and build order from Book.toml. Use when working in this repo on book/, spec/, docs/, or when the user mentions Book.toml, canonical cell, ghost records, closure fraud, or the unified stack.
When working in this repository, read Book.toml first (project root). It defines identity, structure, and terminology. All new or edited prose, spec, or code must align with it.
[identity] — Use thesis, principle, and tagline when summarizing or generating claims.[entrypoints] — Link or edit the files listed there (readme, abstract, preface, index, introduction) when updating front matter or navigation.[build.order] — When adding or reordering content, use the sequence order (00_front_matter … 16_the_manifesto, appendices).[canonical_cell].fields (who, did, this, when, confirmed_by, if_ok, if_doubt, if_not, status). Use these names; do not rename or drop fields without updating Book.toml.[core_concepts].required is the minimal lexicon; use these terms consistently (see also docs/glossary.md).[ghosts].types (entity_ghost, evidence_ghost, causal_ghost, linkage_ghost). Definition in [ghosts].claim.[invariants.local] and [invariants.global]; reference them in spec and formal layers.[stack] and [stack.components]; use when describing architecture or mapping book ↔ spec ↔ code.[repository] gives book_root, docs_root, spec_root, formal_root, etc.; use these paths when referring to layers.[style] sets tone (rigorous-literary), glossary_required, terminology_is_canonical; apply when drafting book or docs.[questions].open lists unresolved items; consider when proposing answers or new sections.preface in Book.toml is book/PREFACE.md; the repo may have book/00_front_matter/preface.md. Prefer the path that exists; if creating a unified build, add or symlink as needed.introduction points to book/00_front_matter/introduction.md; if missing, use or create from note_to_reader/how_to_read_this_book as appropriate.Do not change Book.toml unless the user explicitly asks to update title, thesis, principle, build order, or schema. When in doubt, keep Book.toml as authority and change the content (book, spec, docs) to match.
