# Kernel Current

**Status:** Reconstructed operational-method summary, initialized 2026-11-04.
**Authority:** The user-supplied continuity build package is the controlling
product specification; this file is an implementation index, not a replacement.

The operational kernel combines current-state reconstruction, typed
epistemology, provenance, candidate-survivor preservation, failure/discovery
learning, explicit validation ladders, no-regression, recovery, and
version-controlled improvement. It does not claim hidden model-state transfer,
consciousness, independent authority, or background autonomy.

## Source relationships

- Standing Algebra (Σᴿ) is a logical/relational peer framework. Source:
  `../SigmaR/`, root `README.md`, and preserved source artifact in
  `../corpus/standing-algebra/`.
- Interoperability Constraint Geometry (ICG) is a distinct
  geometric/algebraic peer framework. Source: `../ICG/`, `../ICG.lean`, and
  preserved source artifact in `../corpus/icg/`.
- The Unified Compatibility Kernel is an operational-method source represented
  here only by supplied continuity materials. No standalone UCK repository or
  complete UCK corpus was available during initialization.
- `Non-Domination-Governance-Kernel` is a distinct derivative project, not the
  UCK integration repository. `I2OS-Structural-Admissibility` is a distinct
  paper project, not the ICG repository.

## Improvement boundary

Accepted improvements are repository changes with provenance, evidence,
counterexample tests, validation receipts, explicit residuals, rollback, and
reopening conditions. A favorable output alone never rewrites the kernel.
