Framework Dependency Map

Explanation, definition, synthesis, and research require different kinds of attention. The reader surface teaches the thesis in sequence. The canonical model owns its load-bearing claims and relations. Domain synthesis connects those owners to bodies of evidence. The research archive preserves the lineages, cases, sources, forecasts, and published event analyses through which the claims are tested and extended. Movement between layers changes depth while preserving one argument.

The four layers

Layer	Primary surfaces	Function
Reader surface	Timewar Primer and the TIMEWAR Companion	Accessible synthesis in plain language. See Reading Timewar for routes, depth controls, and claim labels.
Canonical model	The thirty-eight-page canon, rooted in Timewar, The Seven Axioms, and The Central Claim	Authoritative definitions, formal commitments, inference boundaries, developmental topology, and temporal model.
Domain synthesis	The hub directory, major bridge pages, and specialized canonical owners	Connections between the core model and coherent bodies of evidence, tradition, practice, or application.
Research archive	The wiki directory, evidence dossiers, source and figure pages, cases, forecasts, and published event analyses	Provenance, comparison, contradiction, and live research.

The Companion serves the reader surface by function. The Codex and other books serialize material into sustained reading sequences. Books function as output formats within the four-layer architecture. Concept ownership remains with the canonical and evergreen pages from which an edition is composed.

The dependency spine

CONSENSUS REALITY / RENDERING
        ↓
THE HUMAN INSTRUMENT

CLOCK, CHRONICLE, AND ARCHIVE

The spine describes a dependency order. Consciousness primacy supplies the ontological ground. Perception and consensus explain how a shared world stabilizes. The instrument provides the embodied interface. The Lock names captured constraint. The ecology explains how constraint is maintained and exploited. The Work develops the capacity to receive, discriminate, and act. The coupled gyre describes development through recurrent turns, and the clock-and-chronicle distinction separates phase, event, scale, and record.

Canonical ownership

Function	Canonical owner
Narrative and initiatic statement	Timewar
Minimal generative commitments	The Seven Axioms
Expanded propositions, scope, and objections	The Central Claim
Load-bearing inferences and revision conditions	Bridge Claims
Developmental topology and retained capacity	The Coupled Gyre
Recurrence, chronology, and archival custody	The Clock and the Chronicle

The six pages above govern the architecture of the argument. Concept ownership extends through the canon and several specialized pages:

Concept	Owner	Adapter, application, or bridge
Consciousness primacy	Consciousness Primacy	First Principles
Perceptual rendering	The Rendered World	Consensus Reality
Shared-world stabilization	Consensus Reality	The Consensus Engine
Collective weighting and production	The Consensus Engine	Narrative Control
Language as address and transmission	Sacred Language	The Sacred Name
Field memory and similarity-based retrieval	Morphic Resonance	The Persistent Pattern
Deliberate field inscription	The Physics of Magic	Operative Magic
Inspiration, invention, and novelty	Technology as Emergent Download	Art as Incarnation
Instrument, transceiver, and vessel	The Vessel	The Human Instrument
Sorting agent and inner parliament	The Parliament of Consciousness	The Human Instrument
Self as temporal boundary	Boundary Sovereignty	The Vessel
Bandlimit, impedance, and Lock	The Lock	Living Under the Lock
Extraction architecture	The Parasitic Ecology	The Ecology of Extraction
Consciousness conflict	Consciousness Warfare	Narrative Control
Narrative management	Narrative Control	The Consensus Engine
Institutional inversion	The Civilizational Inversion	The Lock
Threshold and aperture	The Threshold	Threshold Operations
Anomalous contact synthesis	The Phenomenon	The Anomaly Archive
Contact discrimination	The Threefold Reading	Apex Superposition
Managed aperture and capture	Managed Awakening and Capture	The Gateway Process
Great Work	The Great Work	The Work of Becoming
Practice methods	The Practice	Practice Catalogue
Pressure and retained capacity	The Self-Forging Fire	The Great Work
Coupled developmental topology	The Coupled Gyre	The World Does Not Split to Spare You
Split-timeline doctrine	The Bifurcation	The Mitosis of Ages
Temporal domain	The Temporal Field	Time Is Contested
Clock as state measure	The Clock Is a Thermometer	The Precessional Clock
Recurrence and archive	The Clock and the Chronicle	What Survives the Turn
Strategic time	Time as Strategic Territory	Temporal Warfare
Transmission and custody	The Transmission Chain	What Survives the Turn
Comparative traditions	The Traditions	Tradition Convergence
Hermetic lineage	Hermetics	The Seven Principles as Physics
Evidence posture	Claim and Evidence Discipline	The Threefold Reading

The reader canon carries the owners required for the complete thesis. Specialized owners such as The Bifurcation, The Clock and the Chronicle, and Time as Strategic Territory remain outside the required route because they define narrower research problems. A reader-surface treatment translates; a domain synthesis connects; an archive page sources, tests, historicizes, or applies.

One definition-length owner keeps revision coherent. Neighboring pages introduce a brief gloss and link to that owner. A contradiction updates the owner first, then propagates through the surfaces that depend on it. This discipline allows the archive to grow without multiplying rival versions of the thesis.

Reading routes

Reader need	Route
First orientation	Timewar Primer → Reading Timewar
Continuous accessible reading	TIMEWAR Companion
Canonical model	The canon — thirty-eight pages in six movements
Domain synthesis	Canonical owner → relevant hub or specialized owner
Supporting research	Canonical owner → domain synthesis → source, evidence, forecast, or published event analysis
Formal challenge	The Central Claim → The Central Claim

The canonical model begins at First Principles. The Anomaly Archive and Prediction Ledger provide routes into evidence and resolution. The wider archive is best entered through the owner and domain of the concept under investigation, keeping depth available without making the entire archive a prerequisite.

The high-churn surface-events ledger under notes/events/ is a private tracking layer, not part of the published wiki. It can inform research immediately; an event enters the public archive only when deliberately synthesized into a published analysis.
