Changelog — Validation State
Frozen Baseline discipline. Material changes only.
Version 1.0
Published: 2026-06-17
- Initial structural baseline publication.
- Definition of validation state established as the current status of assessed validity relative to evidence, criteria, constraints, or expectations.
- Scope boundaries formalized (included / excluded).
- Structural phase model introduced (state identification → evidence incorporation → validity assessment → validation state).
- State structure model introduced (unassessed state, assessed state, validated state, uncertain state).
- Foundational system state, cognitive state, and validation reference sources documented.
- Mandatory legal, privacy, terms, and license pages implemented.
- 2026-07-22 — Added root-level llms.txt following LLMS Baseline v2.0 to provide a canonical machine-readable orientation layer for published resources.
Status: Frozen Baseline
Change Policy
Changes are recorded only if:
- The definitional boundary materially evolves.
- A structural clarification alters conceptual framing.
- Primary institutional reference frameworks materially change.
- A compliance-relevant correction is required for accuracy.
Minor editorial, stylistic, or formatting corrections are not versioned.
Versioning Logic
Version increments follow semantic clarity rules:
- Major increment — Definitional or structural shift.
- Minor increment — Material clarification without conceptual shift.
- No increment — Editorial refinement only.
