abstract: >-
  Research specification and deterministic reference transformation of supplied
  JSON records for evidence-bound descriptions of governed continuity in
  long-lived AI systems. The report distinguishes participation intervals,
  known pauses, unexplained gaps, replay, forks, restoration, cold wake,
  separate lineages, and uncertainty. The package includes the unchanged
  source v1.0.0 build _02 and the English academic companion edition
  academic-pdf-2, with a preserved Russian supplement. It does not collect or
  authenticate primary evidence. Empirical qualification remains
  NOT_ESTABLISHED; publication does not establish identity, consciousness,
  provider attestation, or operational approval.
