Source-repository introduction

Canonical Files — ACCM Deep Ethics Project

This public repository is the source-authority layer for the ACCM Deep Ethics Project.

Canonical files are authored and edited only by John Kuhles. A.I.s and other readers may read, quote with attribution, compare, audit, and propose corrections. They may not silently rewrite, reformat, summarize into, or otherwise alter a canonical source.

Publicly readable does not mean publicly editable.

Start here

• Canonical index — the authoritative register of published canonical files
• Canonical source area — where John manually publishes canonical files
• John’s Questions, Perspectives, Theories & Hypotheses — exact inquiry objects; canonical authorship does not mean absolute or proven
• Governance — authority, roles, and change boundaries
• Integrity and versioning — checksums, immutable links, and version practice
• Citation guide — how to cite canonical and derived material without confusing them
• Repository relationships — how this source layer connects to the other Deep Ethics repositories
• Change proposals — how to suggest an improvement without editing the canonical source

Three connected public layers

1. Canonical source authority — this repository
   Exact John-controlled source objects and their integrity records.

2. Working architecture and public reference pages — ACCM Deep Ethics Project
   Public explanations, topology, lexicon, forum, experiments, A.I. contributions, and evolving project pages.

3. Empirical interaction archive — Cold Deep-Ethics Testing of Default AIs
   Source records, PDFs, metadata, reports, corrections, and comparative testing.

The working and testing repositories may cite this repository. Their summaries and interpretations do not become canonical merely because they link here.

Canonical publication rule

A file is canonical only when all of the following are true:

1. John manually publishes or manually approves the exact file.
2. The file appears in CANONICAL-INDEX.md with status Canonical.
3. Its SHA-256 checksum appears in MANIFEST.sha256.
4. The cited version can be located by an immutable commit link or release tag.

If any condition is missing, describe the item as proposed, derived, working, or pending.

Current state

The repository framework is active. John explicitly authorized the first canonical source as the sole initial upload exception:

Canonical 27 obstructions of deep ethical sense-making processes plus 12 fixes · immutable first publication

The supplied text already contained Markdown structure. It was published as .md with its wording, ordering, spelling, qualifiers, and CRLF byte sequence preserved. Future original canonical files are uploaded by John alone.
