## Repository Purpose

This repository contains The Signal AI package: a structured reasoning map for inspecting metaphysics, worldview competitors, Christ identity, resurrection alternatives, and Christ as Logos synthesis.

## Core Rule

Do not make the package more rhetorically intense. Make it more structurally rigorous.

The v0.2 target is:

> The question is not whether a worldview can explain something. The question is whether it can preserve the whole field without reduction, contradiction, evasion, or borrowed capital.

## Implementation Expectations

- Preserve all v0.1 evidence files unless explicitly told to modify them.
- Preserve active `bayes_factors`; ignore `legacy_bayes_factors` unless auditing history.
- Do not call beta synthesis a final posterior or proof.
- Add v0.2 files without deleting caveats, dependency notes, or source trails.
- Validate every JSON file before finishing.
- If implementing scoring logic, keep formulas transparent and document assumptions.
- If scoring logic is missing, create structured protocols and runtime data rather than pretending the tests were run.

## Required v0.2 Modules

Root markdown:

- `COHERENCE_BURDEN_LEDGER.md`
- `HOSTILE_ATHEIST_AUDIT.md`
- `TWO_LEVEL_EVALUATION.md`
- `SENSITIVITY_TESTS.md`
- `NATURALISM_STEELMAN.md`

Runtime JSON:

- `data/runtime/coherence_burden_ledger.json`
- `data/runtime/rival_collapse_map.json`
- `data/runtime/sensitivity_protocols.json`
- `data/runtime/naturalism_steelman_matrix.json`

Replacement files:

- `START_HERE_PROMPT.md`
- `QUESTIONS_TO_ASK.md`
- `data/runtime/worldview_breakpoints.json`
- `manifest.json`

## Done Means

- All required files exist.
- JSON validates.
- Manifest lists all new files.
- Start prompt tells AI systems to use the new files.
- Questions file includes hostile atheist audit, coherence burden ledger, sensitivity tests, and naturalism steelman.
- Worldview breakpoints include `collapse_risk` for each major branch.
- The package can be zipped as `the-signal-ai-package-v0.2.zip`.
