# Volume I — Foundations · Manuscript Structure

The Volume I manuscript follows a fixed ten-section reader path. Each
section narrates one facet of the foundations without redefining any
ratified principle. Section ids and order are asserted by
`verifySectionOrder()` in `validation.ts`.

## Principle carry-forward

Each section names the principle ids it carries forward through
`ManuscriptSection.carriesForward`. All ten ratified principles from
`hsg-volume-1.ts` are covered at least once; `verifyPrinciplesFullyCarried()`
enforces this.

## Editorial register

Sections narrate. They never restate a principle's canonical statement
verbatim (`verifySectionsDoNotRestatePrinciples()`), never credit AI as
author of stewardship meaning (`verifyNoAiAuthorship()`), and never
reference product implementation details such as tables, routes, or
components (`verifyNoImplementationCoupling()`).
