## 10. Post-v0.8 Methodology Learning
### Durable methodology principles (2026-08-19)
The following principles have been durably codified in `docs/current-working-principles.md` as **Axiomatic Principles A1–A12**. They are now the authoritative methodological baseline for all future work:
| Classification | Principle |
|---|---|
| METHODOLOGY PRINCIPLE | A1 — Delivery-platform independence (methodology ≠ software) |
| METHODOLOGY PRINCIPLE | A2 — The Engine facilitates; the user directs investigation |
| METHODOLOGY PRINCIPLE | A3 — Meaning over prescribed vocabulary; no domain/language dictionaries |
| METHODOLOGY PRINCIPLE | A4 — Semantic interpretation as a facilitation capability (LLM optional) |
| METHODOLOGY PRINCIPLE | A5 — Deterministic code for structure/integrity only, not semantic judgment |
| METHODOLOGY PRINCIPLE | A6 — Investigation is non-linear; user moves between branches |
| METHODOLOGY PRINCIPLE | A7 — Background assistance must not redirect the user's current work |
| METHODOLOGY PRINCIPLE | A8 — Closure is user-owned and may be provisional (no mandatory thresholds) |
| METHODOLOGY PRINCIPLE | A9 — Graph-like reasoning structure does not mandate graph UI |
| METHODOLOGY PRINCIPLE | A10 — Progressive disclosure mirrors progressive reasoning |
| METHODOLOGY PRINCIPLE | A11 — Multilingual portability follows from meaning-based (not vocabulary-based) design |
| METHODOLOGY PRINCIPLE | A12 — Latency is an implementation trade-off, not a methodological constraint |
| IMPLEMENTATION HYPOTHESIS | Hybrid deterministic/semantic fast path (not selected; guardrail applies) |
> **New work must not contradict these axioms without explicit methodological review.**

### Current experimental context
The project has returned to relationship-discovery experimentation following Return-to-Origin methodology work. The durable methodology principles (A1–A12 above) should be loaded before continuing experiments. RTO.21 and RTO.22 have provided initial evidence supporting the meaning-over-dictionary approach; RTO.23 apparatus is under development.
