abstract: >
  External source manifest for Research Stack's Prethinker computational-epistemics
  prior. The prior treats Prethinker as an architecture source for governed
  semantic intake: LLM proposals, deterministic mapper admission, semantic
  lenses, selector guards, uncertainty states, and artifact-first replay.
  License is recorded as unknown until the upstream repository license is
  verified; no upstream code is vendored by this prior.
