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()).
