-This is the durable methodology anchor. It covers:
+**The axiomatic principles in current-working-principles.md are now the durable methodological anchor.** They codify delivery-platform independence, meaning-over-dictionary reasoning, user-directed non-linear investigation, provisional closure, and progressive disclosure. All future work must be evaluated against these 12 axioms.
+
+The RTO methodology context document covers:
 - What Confidence Engine is (reasoning method, not software or LLM)
 - What it is not
 - The granular answer-fragment hypothesis (working — not architecture)
 - RTO.14–17 learning and why they did not define the next architecture
-- The memory/graph separation principle
+- Memory/graph separation principle
 - Optional capability: "Help me answer" / "Answer for me"
 - Methodology test for future development
+- Recent experimental evidence (RTO.18, RTO.20–RTO.22) supporting durable principles
 
 **Do not begin reasoning development from the latest experiment apparatus.** Always load this methodology continuity context first. Without it, a new session will reconstruct the project from recent technical experiments and lose sight of the method the application is meant to embody.
