WHAT REMAINS — RC2 Revised Tarball
====================================

This file tracks content from the source sessions and the independent
review that has NOT been incorporated into the specification.

All review findings have been addressed in one of three ways:
  FIXED   — The issue has been resolved in the revised files
  PARTIAL — Addressed but a residual gap remains
  DEFERRED — Acknowledged as a known gap for a future phase

---


REVIEW FINDINGS STATUS
=======================

S-1  Dual Charter                    FIXED
     Root CHARTER.md is now a navigation pointer.
     spec/oe-0000-charter.md is the sole authoritative charter.

S-2  Triple-Distributed Editorial    FIXED
     reference/editorial-principles.md is now the sole
     authoritative source. All other documents reference it.

S-3  Laws/ and spec/ relationship    FIXED
     All spec documents now include "Applicable Laws" section
     referencing laws/engineering-laws.md.

S-4  Bootstrap Problem (OE-0011)    PARTIAL
     OE-0011 now explicitly acknowledges the constitutional
     governance gap. The gap itself is not resolved — a
     future amendment is required.

T-1  Observation Definition/Usage    FIXED
     OE-0004 now distinguishes Direct Observation from
     Corroborated Observation. The translation examples are
     presented under corroborated observation with engineering
     confirmation evidence.

T-2  Knowledge vs Understanding      FIXED
     OE-0006 no longer redefines knowledge. Understanding is
     defined on its own terms.

T-3  Bedrock Term Collision          DEFERRED
     Acknowledged. "Bedrock" has a geotechnical meaning.
     No rename applied — the term is deeply embedded in the
     project's identity. Enduring Concept test (Law 5) would
     flag this if evaluated strictly. The project may choose
     to rename or to accept the collision.

T-4  The Thread — Untestable Model   FIXED
     OE-0001 now defines four testable properties of the
     thread: deliberate maintenance, carries understanding,
     measurable integrity, breaks when context is lost.
     OE-0010 defines thread integrity as testable by whether
     a practitioner can reconstruct reasoning.

T-5  Evolution Term Usage            PARTIAL
     Renamed to "disciplined, verified extension" in the
     definition. The document title remains "Evolution" —
     same collision issue as T-3.

SP-1 No Operational Context Def      FIXED
     OE-0003 now defines a minimum context record structure
     with 8 required fields and 3 supplementary fields,
     plus a completeness criterion.

SP-2 Understanding-Verification Circ  FIXED
     OE-0006 no longer uses "verified" in the definition of
     understanding. Understanding is "a contextualized model
     of reality derived from observation and survey."
     Verification (OE-0007) is the process applied to it.
     The dependency chain is now acyclic.

SP-3 No Conformance Clause           PARTIAL
     OE-0000 now defines conformance basis at a high level:
     "contains the minimum required fields, follows editorial
     principles, respects dependency integrity." Detailed
     conformance testing criteria deferred to Implementation
     Phase.

SP-4 Stub Documents                 FIXED
     OE-0005 (Survey) now has a concrete 5-field structure.
     OE-0007 (Verification) now defines the verification loop
     explicitly. No forward references to undefined content.

E-1  Meta-Commentary                 FIXED
     All authorial asides removed from spec documents.

E-2  Rhetorical Formatting           FIXED
     Negation lists and emphatic repetition removed from
     spec documents.

E-3  Inconsistent Status Labels      FIXED
     OE-0000 now defines the status lifecycle:
     Draft -> Proposed -> RC -> Accepted -> Deprecated.
     All documents set to Draft for consistency.

I-1  No Implementable Artifact       FIXED
     OE-0003 now defines a concrete context record structure.
     The bridge example demonstrates a populated record.
     This moves the standard from fully abstract to
     partially implementable.

I-2  Empty Directories              DEFERRED
     website/, implementations/, schemas/, tools/ remain
     empty. They are structural placeholders. Their content
     will be defined during the Implementation Phase.

EG-1 Translation Evidence           DEFERRED
     The claim that translation produces better outcomes
     is still asserted without empirical evidence. This is
     an evidence gap that requires real-world testing.

EG-2 Context Preservation Evidence  DEFERRED
     The claim that context preservation reduces re-derivation
     cost is asserted but not quantified. Requires empirical
     study.

EG-3 Historical Citations           PARTIAL
     The Antikythera example now states "comparable complexity
     in geared mechanisms" (more precise than "nothing of
     comparable complexity"). Full citations still deferred.

EG-4 "Engineers Already Speak This"  FIXED
     OE-0002 now states "Engineers across disciplines share a
     conceptual vocabulary" without the empirical claim.

R-1  Stewardship/Inheritance         FIXED
     Sharply distinguished: Stewardship = transmit discipline,
     Inheritance = receive discipline. Different failure modes
     (neglect vs passivity).

R-2  Thread/Inheritance              FIXED
     Sharply distinguished: Thread = the channel model,
     Inheritance = the act of engaging with what the
     channel carries. OE-0010 makes this explicit.

R-3  Translation in Four Places      FIXED
     Translation is defined in OE-0002, with authoritative
     rules in reference/editorial-principles.md. All other
     documents reference, not reproduce.

P-1  Bedrock as Epistemology        PARTIAL
     OE-0001 now defines bedrock as "reality — the physical
     world, the constraints of materials and physics, the
     behavior of systems under load" — more concrete than
     the previous "immutable reality." Acknowledges that
     understanding is always provisional. Does not address
     the philosophical realism objection explicitly.

P-2  Thread Untestable              FIXED
     See T-4 above.

M-1  No Engineer/Engineering Def    FIXED
     OE-0000 now defines domain of applicability with
     specific engineering disciplines listed.

M-2  Tacit Knowledge               FIXED
     OE-0003 now explicitly acknowledges the limitation:
     "The standard acknowledges this limitation and aims to
     preserve the explicit portion as completely as possible."

M-3  Confidentiality/Security       FIXED
     OE-0003 now acknowledges: "The standard defines the
     structure of context records but does not define access
     control mechanisms. Implementations must address
     confidentiality, security, and access control as required
     by their domain."

M-4  Incorrect/Obsolete Context     FIXED
     OE-0009 (Stewardship) now includes: "Stewardship includes
     the obligation to identify and flag context that has
     become obsolete or that was incorrect when inherited."

M-5  No Versioning Scheme           FIXED
     OE-0000 now defines versioning: independent document
     versioning with MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH-status pattern.


RC2 SESSION CONCEPTS STATUS
===========================

Law of Enduring Concepts            FIXED (Law 5 in engineering-laws.md)
Five-Question RC2 Gate              FIXED (editorial-principles.md Section 4)
Self-Fading Example                 FIXED (editorial-principles.md Section 6)
Specification-first Architecture   PARTIAL (concept acknowledged in
                                    OE-0011, ROADMAP; not yet a formal
                                    directory-level concept)
Compression Principle               FIXED (Law 6 in engineering-laws.md)
RC2 Exit Criteria                   FIXED (ROADMAP.md)
RC2 Acceptance Criteria             FIXED (ROADMAP.md)
RC2 Milestone Statement            DEFERRED (not incorporated into spec
                                    documents — it's process metadata,
                                    not specification content)


REMAINING GAPS (Not Addressed in This Revision)
================================================

1. Constitutional governance layer (S-4 PARTIAL)
   OE-0011 acknowledges the gap. No solution implemented.

2. "Bedrock" and "Evolution" term collisions (T-3, T-5 DEFERRED)
   Both terms have established meanings in engineering that
   differ from Open Engineer's usage. The Enduring Concept test
   (Law 5) would flag both if applied rigorously to the
   standard's own terms.

3. Detailed conformance testing criteria (SP-3 PARTIAL)
   The high-level conformance basis exists. Testable criteria
   for "does a context record comply?" do not.

4. Empirical evidence for core claims (EG-1, EG-2 DEFERRED)
   Translation producing better outcomes and context preservation
   reducing cost are asserted but not quantified.

5. Full historical citations (EG-3 PARTIAL)

6. Philosophical realism objection (P-1 PARTIAL)
   The bedrock definition is more concrete but the
   epistemological assumption remains unaddressed.

7. A contemporary, multi-discipline worked example
   All four examples are from historical contexts. A
   software engineering or biomedical context record example
   would strengthen cross-discipline applicability claims.
